Introduction
This book continues the work started in O Level Vol. 1, preparing students for the O-Level Mathematics examinations from University of Cambridge International Examinations. It is intended to form the second year of a two-year course and develops the ideas introduced in O Level Vol. 1. As explained in more detail in the introduction to Volume 1, students will find that the structure of the book allows them to work through at their own pace, checking their progress as they go. Each chapter starts with a short Essential Skills exercise to remind students of the work they did in the corresponding chapter in O Level Vol. 1, and ends with examination questions taken from past O-Level papers, and, where appropriate, from past Extended Level IGCSE papers. A final section alerts the reader to common mistakes made by students in the examinations and lists particular items that need to be committed to memory. Note to students L The text in each chapter in O Level Vol. 1 and 2 introduces you to essential mathematical tools. L The exercises help you gain facility in using these tools. L Finally, at the end of each chapter you will find a set of questions from past examination papers. In some of these examination questions you will need to apply the skills you have acquired to solve problems in a less familiar context. It is therefore essential that you work through all the examination questions and satisfy yourself that you understand the questions and can obtain the correct answers. L If you work through Volume 1 and Volume 2 in this way you will have covered all the work you need to be successful in your final examination.

Real Numbers The set of Real Numbers includes all the numbers we need in everyday life. Your course for Cambridge O Level Mathematics is based entirely on the set of real numbers. You may wonder what other numbers there could possibly be. If you study Mathematics further you will eventually meet the set of Imaginary Numbers, which are the square roots of negative numbers. As you know, it is not possible to multiply a number by itself to make negative number, so the square root of a negative number does not exist. However, Mathematicians need to work with the square roots of negative numbers, so they are called imaginary numbers. Imaginary numbers form the basis of a very interesting branch of Mathematics and you might like to ďŹ nd out more about them. This Chapter follows on from Chapters 1 and 2 in Cambridge O Level Mathematics Vol. 1. Before starting the new work you should work through the Essential Skills exercise and check your answers. You should be able to complete the exercise with conďŹ dence. If you are unsure of anything you will need to go back to Chapters 1 and 2 in O Level Vol. 1.

More about Sets We have already studied some sets of numbers. These were the sets of natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, real numbers and prime numbers. A set is a collection of objects, ideas or numbers that can be clearly defined. Clearly defined means that we can tell with certainty whether or not something belongs to the set. For example, (a) The set of colours of the rainbow is {red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet}. Brown is a colour, but it does not belong to this set. (b) The set of domestic pets may be quite large, but it would not include a brontosaurus! However a brontosaurus would be included in the set of dinosaurs. (c) The set of factors of 10 would include 1, 2, 5 and 10, but not 4. In each of these cases, the sets are well defined because it is possible to tell whether or not something belongs to the set.

Defining a Set There are various ways of defining a set. We can list the members of the set in curly brackets. The set of factors of 10 {1, 2, 5, 10} L If there is no end to the set, we use dots to represent ‘and so on’. The set of natural numbers {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7…} L If there is an end to the set, but it is too long to list all the numbers, we can still use dots, but include one or more of the last numbers in the set. The set of even numbers between 1 and 99 {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, … 96, 98} L Sets can also be defined by a description. For example, {planets in our solar system} or {capital cities of the world}. L Sets are often labelled by using capital letters. The letters N, Z, Q and R are reserved for the sets we have already met, namely natural numbers, integers, rational numbers and real numbers. L If we use a capital letter to represent another set we must define it clearly. For example, P {the prime numbers between 1 and 20} or B {boys in your class} L
Example 1 (a) Write down a description of each of the following sets (there could be more than one suitable description). (i) {1, 3, 5, 7} (ii) {5, 10, 15, 20, 25 …} (iii) {1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12} (b) List the following sets (i) The set of square numbers less than 30. (ii) The set of vowels in the English alphabet. (iii) The set of natural numbers less than 80. (iv) The set of cube numbers. Answer 1 (a) (i) The set of odd numbers between 0 and 8, or simply {odd numbers between 0 and 8} (ii) The set of multiples of 5 (iii) The set of factors of 12 (b) (i) {1, 4, 9, 16, 25} (ii) {a, e, i, o, u} (iii) {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 … 76, 77, 78, 79} (iv) {1, 8, 27, 64, 125 …}

Notation and Symbols used with Sets The members of the set are also called elements of the set. If we define a set C {primary colours}, then the elements of the set C are red, blue and green. The number of elements or members in the set is referred to as n(C ). In this case, n(C ) 3. Of course n( Z ) (the number of elements in the set of integers) is undefined, or infinitely large, because the integers go on forever. The Greek letter Œ is used to mean ‘is a member of’ or ‘is an element of’. So Monday Œ {days of the week}, should be read as ‘Monday is an element of the set of days of the week’. If this letter has a cross through it, i.e. œ, it reads ‘is not an element of’. Hence, April {days of the week}. We also need an ‘empty’ set. An empty set has no members. For example, {even prime numbers greater than 2} is an empty set because 2 is the only even prime number. The symbol used for the empty set is ∆. In some textbooks, you may see the empty set written as {}, which is an alternative for . Notice that we cannot use {0} as the empty set, because it has a member, which is zero. So far the symbols we have met are: Number of elements in set A n(A) ‘is an element of’ Œ ‘is not an element of’ œ The empty set ∆
Exercise 1.1 1. List the elements of these sets (a) {square numbers between 10 and 40} (b) {months of the year beginning with M} (c) {natural numbers , 10} 2. Describe these sets (a) {1, 3, 5, 7, 9} (b) {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday} (c) {a, b, c, d, e … x, y, z} 3. Which of the following are empty sets? (a) {people over 5 metres tall} (b) {birds that swim} (c) {0} (d) {integers between 1.1 and 1.9} 4. Insert the correct symbol in the following statements. (a) 1 … {prime numbers}
(b) 1000 … {even numbers}
5. A {letters used in the word ‘mathematics’}. (a) List set A

More Notation and Symbols You will find that when we talk about sets we need to limit the possibilities in some way. For example, if you were to make up a school team to play football, it would be no good including students from another school. The team would be chosen from the set of all the students in your school. This is called the universal set. The symbol used to denote the universal set is - So we could have: - {students in your school} F {students in your school’s football team} M {students in your maths class} Both F and M belong to the universal set -. Another situation we need to be able to describe is that some students may be in your maths class and in the school football team. This is called an intersection of sets, and has the symbol †. NOTE: This symbol, ‡ , could be likened to a bridge between the two sets.
We write {students both in the school football team and in your maths class} F † M. If there is no one in your maths class who is also in the football team, then F † M …. In this case, the intersection of F and M has no members, so it is the empty set. It is perhaps easier to see this using sets with numbers. We will use the following sets: A {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9} B {10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15} C {2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12} D {1, 3, 5, 7} From these sets it will be seen that: A † C {2, 4, 6, 8} because 2, 4, 6 and 8 are in both A and C and A†B … What about A † D? A † D {1, 3, 5, 7} D The whole of set D is in set A. We say that D is a proper subset of A, and we use the symbol ‹, so D ‹ A. You will usually hear a proper subset being referred to as just a subset. Strictly speaking a subset is different from a proper subset, which can be shown using the following example. V {vowels in the English language) E {letters of the English language} L {a, e, i, o, u} F {a, b, c} V is a proper subset of E because there are elements in E that are not in V. However, V could be thought of either as equal to L, or as a subset of L, so V is not a proper subset of L.

Cambridge O Level Mathematics Vol. 2
Therefore, V is a proper subset of E. V is a subset of L ( and V is equal to L).
V E V L
NOTE: Think of as ‘is a subset or equal to’ in the same way as , means ‘less than or equal to’. Also think of ‘ is a proper subset’, and ‘ is strictly less than’.
The same symbol with a line through it means ‘is not a proper subset of’. V is not a proper subset of L . V L We can also say: F E F L and FzL Suppose we wanted to use the whole of A and B. This would be called the union of A and B, and we would use the symbol . NOTE: You could think of this as a U, standing for ‘Union’.
A B {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15} A C {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 12} Notice that the elements that appear in both sets, are not listed twice. We can now add to our list of symbols. Universal set Intersection Proper subset Subset Not a subset Union Example 2 F {10, 20, 30, 40}
G {11, 13, 17, 19}
H {10, 11, 12, 13} J {11, 13} Use these sets to answer the questions. (a) List (i) G H (ii) F H (b) J is a subset of two of the sets. Which are those two sets? (c) Suggest a suitable universal set for F, G, H and J. (d) What can you say about F J? Answer 2 (a) (i) G H {11, 13} (notice that this is also equal to J ) (ii) F H {10, 11, 12, 13, 20, 30, 40} (b) J G and J H

(c) A universal set could be N (the set of natural numbers), or we could restrict it more, say - {10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15 … 38, 39, 40} or - {natural numbers between 10 and 40 inclusive} (d) F J There is one more symbol left to add to the list. Look at these sets: - {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} A {1, 4} B {2, 4, 5} The new symbol is the letter for the set followed by a dash, for example, Aa. This means everything in the universal set but not in set A. It is called the complement of A. So Aa {2, 3, 5} and Ba {1, 3}. Since A B {4} then (A B)a {1, 2, 3, 5} In the same way, can you show that (A B)a {3}?
Exercise 1.2 - {3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}
A {4, 5, 6} B {odd numbers between 2 and 8} C {square numbers , 10} Using the above sets, 1. List (a) B (b) A B (c) A B (e) the complement of B (f ) Aa B 2. List the intersection of B and C. 3. List the union of A and C. 4. Write down n(C). 5. Find n(A C). 6. Find n(B a).
(d) Aa (g) (A B)a
Venn Diagrams A Venn diagram is a very useful method of visualising the relationship between sets. A rectangular box is drawn to show the universal set, and within this, other shapes, usually ovals or circles, represent sets within the universal set. If there is an intersection between sets, it will be shown by an overlap of the ovals or circles. The following example should help you to understand the concept of a Venn diagram.

Show the elements in each set. (b) List the following sets. (i) A B (ii) A B (iii) A C (iv) (A C )a (v) A B C (vi) (A B C )a (vii) B C Answer 3 (a)

NOTE: The symbol (-) for the Universal Set may be placed either inside or outside the rectangle. Either is correct. You may find different symbols used for the Universal Set in other books, but it should always be clear what is intended.
A B {2, 4} (ii) A B {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10} A C {2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 10} (iv) (A C)a {1, 3, 5, 9} A B C {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 10} (vi) (A B C)a {9} B C
NOTE: You may find that shading or hatching can help to make the distinction between union and intersection between sets in the Venn diagram more clear.
If you look at the three Venn diagrams given in the diagrams below, you will see that in the first, one set has been hatched in a different direction from the other. In the second Venn diagram, the two sets show an intersection, where the hatching appears in both directions (cross hatching). In the third Venn diagram, the union is shown by all the shaded areas, in either direction, taken together.

You are given the following information. n(-) 30, n(A) 11, n(B) 12, n(C) 10, n(A B C) 3, n(A B) 5, n(A C ) 4, n(B C ) 6 (a) Copy and complete the Venn diagram. (b) Find (i) n(A B C)a (ii) n(A B) Answer 5 (a) Using the information given, it is possible to fill in the Venn diagram in steps. STEP 1: n(A B C) 3, so 3 goes right in the centre of the diagram. STEP 2: n(A B) 5, so take away the 3 that is already there, which leaves 2 to go in the rest of the intersection. n(A C) 4 and n(B C ) 6 means we can fill in the other two intersections in the same way. (See the diagram below for steps 1 and 2)
STEP 3: n(A) 11 so take away the 1, 2 and 3 which are already in A, leaving 5 to be written in the remaining part of A. Use n(B) 12 and n(C ) 10 in the same way. STEP 4: Find n(A B C ) by adding all the numbers in your diagram. n(A B C ) 5 1 3 2 4 3 3 21 It was given that n(-) 30, so n(A B C )a 30 21 9 Write in the 9 to complete the Venn diagram.

More about Square Roots and Irrational Numbers In this section of this chapter we will see how we can find the square root of any perfect square, or express irrational square roots in their simplest form, without using a calculator. There are two possible methods. (a) In the first, we express the number, as a product of its prime factors (by using a factor tree if necessary). For example, 900 2 s 2 s 3 s 3 s 5 s 5 900 2 s 2 s 3 s 3 s 5 s 5
so This is the same as
2s 2s 3s 3s 5s 5
We know
2 s 2 4 2,
3 s 3 3 and 5 s 5 5
This means
900 2 s 2 s 3 s 3 s 5 s 5 2 s 3 s 5 30 900 30.
so
This is also the best method for finding cube roots. 216 3 2 s 2 s 2 s 3 s 3 s 3 3 2 s 2 s 2 s 3 3 s 3 s 3 2 s 3 6 (b) In the second method, we look for factors of the number that are perfect squares themselves, such as 4, 9, 16, 25 and so on. 3
So 900 4 s 9 s 25 2 s 3 s 5 30 Either method will also work for numbers whose square roots are irrational. For example, by the first method, 450 2 s 3 s 3 s 5 s 5 2 s 3 s 3 s 5 s 5 2 s 3 s 5 15 s 2 and 15 s

By the second method, 450 9 s 25 s 2 3 s 5 s 2 15 2 . This is as far as you can go easily without using a calculator. Square roots that are irrational are also called surds. The number 15 2 is a surd because 2 is irrational. Example 6 (a) Find 225 without using a calculator. (b) Simplify 432 by writing it as a surd, in terms of 2 or 3 or 5. Answer 6 (a)
