EXERCISE 1-1 PRACTICE IN USE OF Casio fx-82AU PLUS CALCULATORS

SET UP YOUR CALCULATOR to MATHS mode Press: SHIFT SET UP 1

Math will appear on the screen. This mode is much better to use than with fractions.

LINE mode, especially when we want to work

THE CURSOR key The cursor key is marked with four arrows LEFT arrow RIGHT arrow UP arrow DOWN arrow

REPLAY

MEMORY To put a number into the memory say 2505 press:

2505

SHIFT

STO

M+

2505 M will appear on the screen. This will go when you start to do a calculation. The symbol M will appear on the screen. This means that there is something in the main memory. To recall this number later press: RCL M+

To clear the main memory press:

SHIFT

STO

M+

0 M will appear on the screen. This will go when you start to do a calculation.

An author writes a book, so that during the first day he writes 54 pages, during the 2 of the second day he writes 36 pages, and on each succeeding day he writes 3 number of pages of the preceding day. What is the maximum possible length of the book? The height of a tree was 10 metres and it grew by 2 metres during the next year. If in 2 each succeeding year the growth is of that of the previous year, find the maximum 3 possible height of the tree. A ball is dropped 12 metres onto a flat surface, rebounds to a height of 9 metres then falls to the flat surface again and rebounds this time to a height of 6 75 metres. The ball continues to fall and rebound in this way, on each rebound reaching a height 3 which is of the height of the previous rebound. If the ball is allowed to continue 4 until it stops, through what total distance does it travel?

For what values of x does the geometric series 9 + 15 x + 25 x 2 + K have a limiting sum? The Koch Snowflake is constructed in stages. Starting with an equilateral triangle, new equilateral triangles are added to the middle third of each side. New equilateral triangles are then added to each side of this shape, and then to this new shape, and so on, leading to the Koch Snowflake:

Stage 0

Stage 1

Stage 2

Stage 3

Stage 4

From Stage 0 to Stage 1, the shape increases in area by a factor of one-third. Thereafter, the shape increases by a fraction (four-ninths) of the previous increase. Let the area of the equilateral triangle in Stage 0 be A 0 . (a) Complete the following table showing the increase in area of the shape for various stages. Stage Increase in area (b) 1 2 3 4 5 n
