Basic Concept of Laws of Indices

A number of the form am where a is a real number, a is multiplied by itself m times

The number a is called the base and the super script m is called the index (plural indices) or exponent.

1. A m x A n = Am + n --------------------Multiplication law

Example: X3 xX2 =( X x Xx X) x (X x X) = X 5

Or X3 x X2 = X3 + 2 = X5

2. Am ÷ An=Am-n ---------------------Division law

Example: X6 ÷ X4 = X6-4 = X2

3. (a m )n = amn ----------------Power law

Example: (x3)2 = X3 x X3 = X3+3 =X6

Or X3X2 = X6
4. am ÷ am = am-m = a0 =1

am ÷am = am/am = ao = 1

a0………………………………….Zero Index

:. Any number raised to power zero is 1

Example: 3o = 1, co = 1, yo = 1

5. (ab)m =ambm -------------Product power law

e.g. (2xy)2= 4x2y2

6. Negative index

a –m = 1/am ------------- Negative Index

Example: 2 -1 = ½, and 3 -2 = 1/3 2 = 1/9

7. a1/n =n√a --------------Root power law

Example : 9 ½ =√9=3

27 1/3 =3√27 = 3 ie (3)3 = 3

8. a m/n = (a 1/n) m = (n√a)m -----------Fraction Index

or a m/n = (am) 1/n = (n√a)m

Example : 272/3 = 3√27=32=9.

Exponential Equation of Linear Form

Solve the following exponential equations

a) (1/2) x = 8 b) (0.25) x+1 = 16

c) 3x = 1/81 d) 10 x = 1/0.001

e) 4/2x = 64 x
Solution

a) (1/2) X = 8

(2 -1) x = 2 3

2 –x = 2 3

-x = 3

X=-3

b) (0.25) x+1 = 16

(25/100) x+1 = 16

(1/4) x+1 = 4 2

(4 -1) x+1 = 4 2

-x–1=2

-x=2+1

-x=3

X=-3

c) 3x = 1/81

3x = 1/34

3x = 3 -4

X = -4

d) 10x = 1/0.001

10 x = 1000

10 x = 10 3

10x = 10 3

X=3

e) 4/2x = 64 x

4÷2x = 64 x

22 ÷2x = 64 x

2 2-x = (2 6) x

2 2-x = 2 6x
 2-x = 6x

2=6x+x

2 = 7x

Divide both sides by 7

2/7 = 7x/7

X = 2/7

EVALUATION

Solve the following exponential equations

a) 2 x = 0.125 b) 25 (5x) = 625 c) 10 x = 1/100000

Exponential Equation of Quadratic Form

Some exponential equation can be reduced to quadratic form as can be seen below.

Example : Solve the following equations.

a) 2 2x – 6 (2 x) + 8 = 0

b) 5 2x + 4 X 5 x+1 – 125 = 0

c) 3 2x – 9 = 0

Solution

a) 2 2x – 6 (2 x) + 8 = 0

(2 x)2 – 6 (2 x) + 8 = 0

Let 2 x = y.

Then y2 – 6y + 8 = 0

Then factorize

Y 2 – 4 y – 2y + 8 = 0

Y (y - 4) -2 (y -4) = 0

(y -2) (y - 4) = 0

Y – 2 = 0 or y – 4 = 0

Y = 2 or y= 4

Y = 2, 4

Since 2 x = y, and y = 2
 2x=2

2x = 2 1

x=1

Since 2 x = y and y = 4

2x=4

2x=22

N=2

X = 1 and 2

b) 5 2x + 4 X 5 x+1 – 125 = 0

(5 x) 2 + 4 X (5 x X 5 1) – 125 = 0

Let 5 x = p

P 2 + 4 X (p X 5) – 125 = 0

P2 + 4 (5p) – 125 = 0

P2 + 20p – 125 = 0

Then Factorise p2 + 25p – 5p – 125 = 0

P (p + 25) -5 (p + 25) = 0

(p - 5) (p + 25) = 0

P – 5 = 0 p + 25 = 0

P = 5 or p = - 25

Since 5x = p, p=5

5x = 5 1

X=1

5x = -25 (Not simplified)

1) 3 2x – 9 = 0

(3 x) 2 - 9 = 0

Let 3 x = a

a2–9=0

a2=9
 a = ±√9

a=±3

a = 3 or – 3

Since 3 x = a, when a = 3

3x = 3 1

X=1

Since 3x = a, when a = -3

3 x = - 3 (Not a solution)

Logarithm of numbers (Index & Logarithmic Form)

The logarithm to base a of a number P, is the index x to which a must be raised to be equal to P.
Thus if P = ax, then x is the logarithm to the base aof P. We write this as x = log a P. The relationship logaP = x and
ax=P are equivalent to each other.

ax=P is called the index form and logaP = x is called the logarithm form

Conversion From Index to Logarithmic Form

Write each of the following index form in their logarithmic form

a) 26 = 64 b) 251/2 = 5 c) 44= 1/256

Solution

a) 26 = 64

Log2 64 = 6

b) 251/2 = 5

Log255=1/2

c) 4-4= 1/256

Log41/256 = -4

Conversion From Logarithmic to Index form.

a) Log2128 = 7 b) log10 (0.01) = -2

c) Log1.5 2.25 = 2

Solution

a) Log2128 = 7

27 = 128

b) Log10(0.01) = -2

10-2= 0.01

c) Log1.5 2.25 = 2

1.52 = 2.25

Laws of Logarithm

a) let P = bx, then logbP = x

Q = by, then logbQ = y

PQ = bx X by = bx+y (laws of indices)

LogbPQ = x + y

:. LogbPQ = logbP + LogbQ

CONTENTS

 Standard forms
 Logarithm of numbers greater than one
 Multiplication and divisions of numbers greater than one using logarithm
 Using logarithm to solve problems with roots and powers (no > 1)
 Logarithm of numbers less than one.
 Multiplication and division of numbers less than one using logarithm
 Roots and powers of numbers less than one using logarithm

Standard Forms

Numbers such as 1000 can be converted to its power of ten in the form 10 n where n can be term as the number
of times the decimal point is shifted to the front of the first significant figure i.e. 10000 = 10 4

Number Power of 10

100 102
10 101
1 100
0.01 10-3
0.10 10-1
Note: One tenth; one hundredth, etc are expressed as negative powers of 10 because the decimal point is
shifted to the right while that of whole numbers are shifted to the left to be after the first significant figure.

A number in the form A x 10n, where A is a number between 1 and 10 i.e. 1<A<10 and n is an integer is said to
be in standard form e.g. 3.835 x 103 and 8.2 x 10-5 are numbers in standard form.

Examples : Express the following in standard form

1. 7853
2. 382
3. 0.387
4. 0.00104
Solutions

1. 7853 = 7.853 x 103

2. 382 = 3.82 x 102
3. 0.387 = 3.87 x 10-1
4. 0.00104 = 1.04 x 10-3
Logarithm of numbers greater than one

Base ten logarithm of a number is the power to which 10 is raised to give that number e.g.

628000 = 6.28 x105

628000 = 100.7980 x 105

= 100.7980+ 5

= 105.7980
 Log 628000 = 5.7980

IntegerFraction (mantissa)

If a number is in its standard form, its power is its integer i.e. the integer of its logarithm e.g. log 7853 has integer 3
because 7853 = 7.853 x 103

Examples: Use tables (log) to find the complete logarithm of the following numbers.

(a) 80030 (b) 8 (c) 135.80

(a) 80030 = 4.9033

(b) 8 = 0.9031

(c) 13580 = 2.1329

Multiplication and Division of number greater than one using logarithm

To multiply and divide numbers using logarithms, first express the number as logarithm and then apply the
addition and subtraction laws of indices to the logarithms. Add the logarithm when multiplying and subtract
when dividing.

Examples: Evaluate using logarithm.

 Rules of surds
 Basic Form of Surds
 Similar Surds

 Simplification of Surds
 Additional & Subtraction of Surds
 Multiplication and Division of Surds
 Rationalization of Surds
 Equality of Surds
Rules of Surds

Surds are irrational numbers. They are the root of rational numbers whose value can not be expressed as exact
fractions. Examples of surds are: √2, √7, √12, √18, etc.

1. √(a X b ) = √a X √ b
2. √(a / b ) = √a / √b
3. √(a + b ) ≠ √a + √b
4. √(a – b ) ≠ √a - √b

Basic Forms of Surds

√a is said to be in its basic form if A does not have a factor that is a perfect square. E.g. √6, √5, √3, √2 etc. √18 is
not in its basic form because it can be broken into √ (9x2) = 3√2. Hence 3√2 is now in its basic form.

Similar Surds
 Surds are similar if their irrational part contains the same numerals e.g.

1. 3√n and 5√ n
2. 6√2 and 7√2

Conjugate Surds

Conjugate surds are two surds whose product result is a rational number.

(i)The conjugate of √3 - √5 is √3 + √5

The conjugate of -2√7 + √3 is -2√7 - √3

In general, the conjugate of √x + √y is √x - √y

The conjugate of √x - √y = √x + √y

Simplification of Surds

Surds can be simplified either in the basic form or as a single surd.

Examples 1. Simplify the following in its basic form (a) √45 (b) √98

Solution

(a) √45 = √ (9 x 5) = √9 x √5 = 3√5

(b) √98 = √ (49 x 2) = √49 x √2 = 7√2

Example 2. Simplify the following as a single surd (a) 2√5 (b) 17√2

Solution

(a) 2√5 = √4 x √5 = √ (4 x 5) = √20

(b) 17√2 = √289 x √2 = √ (289 x 2) = √578

Addition and Subtraction of Surds

Surds in their basic forms which are similar can be added or subtracted.

Example: Evaluate the following

(a)√32 + 3√8 (b) 7√3 - √75 (c) 3√48 - √75 + 2√12

Solution

(a) (√32 + 3√8

=√ (16 x 2) + 3√ (4 x 2)

=4√2 + 6√2

= 10√2

(b) 7√3 - √75

 = 7√3 - √ (25 x 3)
=7√3 – 5√3
=2√2

(c) 3√48 - √75 + 2√12

= 3√ (16 x 3) - √ (25 x 3) + 2√ (4 x 3)

= 12√3 - 5√3 + 4√3

= 11√3

EVALUATION

1. Simplify the following (a)5 √ 12 - 3 √ 18 + 4 √72 + 2 √75 (b) 3√2 - √32 + √50 + √98

2. Multiply the following by their conjugate (a) √3 -2√5 (b) 3√2 + 2√3

Multiplication and Division of Surds

Example: Evaluate the following (a) √45 x √28 (b) √24 / √50

Solution

(a)
√45 x √28
= √ (9 x 5) x √ (4 x 7)
= 3√5 x 2√7
= 3 x 2 x √ (5 x 7)
= 6√35

(b)√24 / √50

= √ (24 / 50)

= √ (12 / 25)

= √12 / √25

= √ (4 x 3) / 5

= 2√3 / 5

Surds Rationalisation

Rationalisation of surds means multiplying the numerator and denominator by the denominator or by the
conjugate of the denominator.

Example: Evaluate the following (a) 6 / √3 (b) 3

√3 + √2
Solution

(a) 6 / √3 (b) 3
= 6 x √3 √3 + √2

√3 x √3 = 3 (√3 - √2)
= 6√3 (√3 + √2) (√3 - √2)

3 = 3√3 - 3√2
= 2√3 (√3)2 – (√2)2
= 3√3 - 3√2
3-1
= 3√3 - 3√2
1
= 3( √3 -√2)

Equality of Surds

Given two surds i.e P + m and q + n if P + m = q + n, then

P - q = n - m the L.H.S

Of the equation is a rational number while the L.H.S and R.H.S can only be equal of they are both equal to zero (0)

P–q=0

:. P = q and n - m = 0 i.e.

N = m

Examples - Find the square root of the following?

a) 7 + 2 10 b) 14 - 4 6

Solution

(a) Let the square root of 7 + 2 10 be m + n

( m + n) 2 = 7 + 2 10

M +2 m n+ n = 7 + 2 10

M + n = 7 _____ (1)
 2 m n = 2 10

M n = 10

Squarely both surds we have

M n = 10 _______(ii)

M + n = 7 ______ (i)

M n = 10 _______ (ii)

From equation (1) m = 7 – n

Put m in (ii) we have

(7 – n) n = 10

7n – n2 = 10

In sum; n2 – 7n + 10 = 0

n2 – 2n – 5n + 10 =0

n (n – 2) – 5 (n – 2) = 0

(n -5) (n – 2) = 0

n = 5 or 2

m = 7 – 2, where n = 2

m = 5,

m = 7 – 5 , when n = 5

m=2

m= 5 or 2

The square root of 7 + 10 are 5 + 2 twice.

(b) Let the square root of 14 – 4 6 be p - Q

The ( p - Q)2 = 14 – 4 6

P - 2 pQ + Q = 14 – 4 6

P +Q = 14 ……………………………(1)

-2 pQ =4 6

-2 -2

PQ = 2 6 (squaring both sides)

PQ = = (2 6 )2

PQ = 4 x 6 ……………………………….. (11)

P +Q = 14 ………………………………… (1)

PQ = 24 ……………………………………… (11)

From equation……………… (1) p = 14 - Q

Sub for p in equation ………………… (11)

(14 –Q ) Q = 24

14 Q – Q 2 = 24

In turn we have :

Q2 – 14 Q + 24 = 0

Q2 – 12Q– 2Q + 24 = 0

Q (Q -12) – 2 (Q – 12) = 0

Q = 2 or 12

if p = 14 – Q ,when Q= 12

p = 14 – 12
p=2

if p = 14 – Q, when q = 2

p = 14- 2

= 12

12 – 2 = 2 3 - 2 and

2 - 12 = 2 - 2 3

Matrices and determinants: concept, the basic operations of matrices. Identity matrices and equal matrices
MATRICES
Matrix is a rectangular array of numbers or elements in a row or column.
e.g ( a b ), a

b
Elements arranged along the horizontal are called ROW. While elements arranged along the vertical is called
COLUMN.
E,g
5 7 5 7 row 1

8 12 8 12 row 2

Column 1 2

NOTATION: A matrix is denoted by capital letter and the elements by small letters with reference to the position of
the element. The position is defined in terms of the number of rows and columns.The first indicating the row, the
second the column, thus:

a11 a12 a13b11 b12

A= a21 a22 a23B = b21b22

a31 a32 a33

Hence, a21indicates the element in the second row and first column.

EVALUATION: Given the matrix,C= 6 -5 1 -3 write out the elements occupying the following,
Positions.C11, C21, C32, C42, C44 andC34 2 -4 8 3
4 -7 -6 5
-2 9 7 -1
Order of a matrix: A matrix can be identified or described by its order. In describing a matrix, the number of rows is
stated first before the number of columns.

E.g 6 2 8 is a 2 x 3 matrix, i.e. order 2 by 3.

5 7 3

BASIC OPERATION OF MATRICES:

Addition and subtraction of matrices: Two or more matrices can be added or subtracted when they are of the
same order e.g 2 x 2, 3 x 3 and so on. The sum or subtraction is then determined by adding or subtracting
corresponding elements.

If A = a11 a12 B = b11 b12A + B = a11 + b11 a12 + b12 A – B = a11 –b11 a12 –b12

a21 a22 b21 b22 a21+ b21 a22 + b22a21- b21 a22 – b22

Example: Given the matrices below, find I A + B II A – B III B – A .

A= 7 6 5 B = 12 -6 4
 9 4 8 2 10 1

I A + B = 19 0 9 II A – B = -5 12 1 III B – A = 5 -12 -1
11 14 9 7 -6 7 -7 6 -7

Addition of matrices is commutative, i.e A + B = B + A but matrix subtraction is not commutative,

A–B≠B–A

MULTIPLICATION OF MATRICES:
1. Scalar multiplication: This is the multiplication of a matrix by a single number and it is done by multiplying
each element in the matrix by the scalar.
e.g If C = 3 -8 12 find I 2C II -3C
4 5 7

I 2C = 6 -16 24 II – 3C = -9 24 -36
8 10 14 -12 -15 -21

2. Multiplication of two matrices: Two matrices can be multiplied together only when the number of columns
in the first is equal to the number of rows in the second matrix.

If A= a11 a12 B = b1then A. B = a11b1 + a12b2

a21 a22 b2a21b1 + a22b2
Matrix by matrix multiplication is not commutative, A.B ≠ BA

Example: Given the matrices A = 2 3 B = 4 1 find AB.

5 7 8 9
2 3 4 1
AB = x
5 7 8 9

AB = 2x4 + 3x8 2 x1 + 3x9 8+24 2 +27

=
5x4 + 7x8 5x1 + 7x9 20 +56 5+63

AB = 32 29
76 69

EVALUATION: 1. Find AC given the matrices A = -3 2 5 C= 4 7 2

0 1 8 3 -5 1
9 0 4
2. Given that A = 12 -8 B= 1 4 and C = 9 -5
3 6 2 8 15 10
Find I. A + B II. B – C III. 2A – B + 3C

TYPES OF MATRICES:
Equal matrices: Two matrices are said to be equal if corresponding elements are equal and the matrices are of
the same order.
Square matrix: Is a matrix having the same number of rows and columns. E.g 2 x 2, 3 x 3,and so on
Diagonal matrix: This is a square matrix with all elements zero except those on the main diagonal.
2 0 0
0 5 0
 0 0 8

Identity matrix: It is also called unit matrix and is a diagonal matrix in which the elements on the main diagonal
are equal to one (1). It is denoted by I.
2 x 2 ,I = 1 0 3 x 3, I= 1 0 0
0 1 0 1 0
0 0 1
Null matrix: Is a matrix whose elements are zero. It is denoted by o. i.e
0 0 0
0 0 0
0 0 0

TRANSPOSE OF A MATRIX: The matrix obtained by interchanging the rows and columns of a matrix is called the
transpose matrix. If B is the original matrix, its transpose is denoted by BT.

If A = 2 5 , then AT = 2 -8 7

Factorization of Quadratic Expressions.

Factorize the following:

1. 6a2 + 15a + 9
2. 6a2 – 19ax - 36x2
3. (5x – 1) ( x – 3) - ( x – 5) ( x – 3)
4. 35 – 2b - b2
5. x2 – y2 + ( x + y ) 2
6. 25a2 - 4 ( a – 2b ) 2.
Solutions.

6a2 + 15x + 9.

Since 3 is a common factor to all the terms, first take out 3 as the common factor:

6a2 + 15a + 9 = 3 (2a2+ 5a + 3)

= 3 (2a2 + 2a + 3a + 3)

= 3 (2a (a+1) + 3 (a+1)

= 3 ( (a+1) (2a+ 3)).

Hence.
6a2 + 15a + 9 = 3 (a+ 1) (2a + 3)

= 3 (a+1) ( 2a + 3)

2. 6a2 – 19ax – 36x2

st
1 step: Find the product of the first and last terms.

6a2 x -36x2 = -216a2x2

2nd step: Find two terms such that their products is – 216a2x and their sum is -19ax ( the middle term).

Factors of -216a2x2 sum of factors .

a. +27ax and -8ax + 19ax

b. -27ax and +8ax - 19ax

c. +9ac and -24ax - 15ax

d. -9x and 24ax + 15ax.

Of these only b gives the required result.

3rd step: Replace -19ax in the given expression by -27ax and 8ax then factorize by grouping:

6a2 – 19ax – 36x2

= 6a2 – 27ax + 8ax – 36x2

= 3a (2a – 9x) + 4x (2a-9x)

=(2a – 9x ) ( 3a + 4x)

hence,

6a2 – 19ax – 36x2 = (2a -9x) (3a + 4x)

3. (5x – 1 (x -3) - (x -5)(x – 3)

= (x – 3) ( 5x -1) - (x – 5)

= ( x -3) ( 5x – 1 - x + 5 )

= ( x – 3) ( 5x - x + 5 – 1)

= ( x – 3) ( 4x + 4)

= ( x – 3) + ( x + 1)

= ( x -3) 4(x+1)

= 4(x-3) (x+1)
 4. 35 – 2b –b2

or - b2 – 2b + 35

= -b2 – 7b + 5b + 35

= -b (b+7) + 5 (b + 7)

= (b+7) ( -b + 5)

= (b+7) ( 5-b)

or (7+b) ( 5 – b)

5. x2 – y2 + (x + y)2

Since

X2 – y2 = (x)2 – (y)2

= ( x + y) ( x –y)

then x2 – y2 + (x + y)2 = (x + y)(x-y) + (x+ y)2

= (x +y)( x-y + (x + y)

= (x + y ( x –y + x + y)

=(x+y)(x+x

= (x + y) (2x)

(x +y ) (2x) = 2x ( x +y)

Factorize the following

1. 8c2 – 14c – 9
2. x2y2 – xy – 30.

If I is a root of the equation 5x2 + kx – 3 = 0

Find the other root.

3. Given that ½ and -3 are the roots of the equation 0 = ax2 + bx + C, find a, b,c, where a, b and c are the least
possible integers.

Solutions

1. Since 2 ½ is a root of the equation, then (x – 2 ½ ) is a factor, similarly, if -1 is a root of the equation then (x
– (1-1) is a factor. i.e (x + 1) is a factor.
Thus, the required equation is : (x – 2 ½ ) ( x + 1) = 0

x (x + 1) – 2 ½ ( x + 1) = 0

x2 + x - 2 ½ x - 2 ½ = 0

x2 – 1 ½ x - 2 ½ = 0.

X2 – 3/2 x - 5/2 =0

2x2 – 3x – 5 =0

2. Since I is a root of the given equation

5x2 + kx – 3 = 0

then it must satisfy the given equation.

Substitute I for x,

5(1)2 + k(1) - 3 = 0

5x1+k–3=0

5+k–3=0

\5-3 + k = 0

2+k=0

k = 0-2

k = -2.

Hence the given equation becomes

5x2 – 2x – 3 = 0

by factorization method, this quadratic equations can be solved as follows :

5x2 – 2x – 3 = 0

5x2 – 5x + 3x – 3 = 0

5x (x -1) + 3 ( x -1) = 0

(x-1) ( 5x + 3) = 0

(x -1) = 0 or 5x + 3 = 0

i.e. x = 0+ 1 or 5x = 0-3

x = 1 or 5x = -3

x = 1 or x = -3/5.

Hence the other roots of the given quadratic equation is x = 3/5.

2. Since the given roots of the equation 0 = ax2 + bx + C are ½ and -3, then the factors are (x – ½ ) and (x – c –
3)
i.e. ( x – ½ ) and ( x + 3)

Thus, the required equation is

(x – ½ ) ( x + 3) = 0

x(x+ 3) - ½ (x + 3) = 0

x2 + 3x – ½ x - 3/2 = 0

2x2 + 6x – x - 3 = 0

2x2 + 5x – 3 = 0

Comparing this with the given equation ax2 + bx + C = 0

Then

A= 2, b= 5, c = -3.

Sum & Product of Roots of a Quadratic Equation

The expression for sum & product of roots of quadratic equation is gotten from the general expression of quadratic
equation. If the distinct roots are α and β, then

α + β = -b/a (sum of roots)

αβ =c/a (product of roots)

Example 1 – find the sum and products of 2x2 + 3x - 1 = 0

Solution

2x2 + 3x – 1 = 0

a =2, b = 3, c = -1

Let α and β be the roots of the equation, then

α+β= -b/a= -3/2

αβ = c/a = -1/2

Example 2 - find the sum and products of 3x2 – 5x -2 = 0

Solution

3x2 -5x -2 =0

a= 3, b= -5, c= -2

let α and β be the roots of the equation, then

α+β= -b/a = 5/3

αβ= c/a= -2/3

NB: The quadratic equation whose root are α and β is

(X - α )(X - β) = 0

X2 – (α +β)X + αβ = 0

Example – Find the quadratic equation whose roots are 3 & -2

Solution

α=3 and β=-2

α+β = 3 + (-2) = 1

αβ = 3 x -2 = -6

X2 – (α +β)x + αβ = 0

X2 – (1)X + (-6) = 0

X2 – X -6 = 0

Symmetric Properties of Roots

Certain relations involving α and β can also be determined from α+β andαβ even when we do not know α and β
distinctly. Such relations are usually said to be symmetric. They are symmetric in the sense that if α and α are
interchanged, either the relation remains the same or is multiplied by -1

Example – If α ≠ β, determine whether or not each of the following is symmetric

(a) α+β (b) αβ (c) α2 + β2 (d) α2 - β2 (e) 3α +2β (f) α3 + β3

Solution

(a) α+β = β +α , therefore α+β is symmetric

(b) αβ =βα, therefore αβ is symmetric
(c) α2 + β2 = β2 + α2, therefore α2 + β2 is symmetric
(d) α2 - β2 = - (β2 - α2), thereforeα2 - β2 is symmetric
(e) 3α +2β ≠ 3β + 2α since α ≠ β, therefore 3α +2β is not symmetric
(f) α3 + β3 = β3 + α3, therefore α3 + β3 is symmetric

What is a sphere?
A sphere is a solid with all its points the same distance from the center. The
distance is known as the radius of the sphere. The maximum straight distance
through the center of a sphere is known as the diameter of the sphere. The diameter
is twice the radius.

How to find the volume of a sphere?

The volume of a sphere is equal to four-thirds of the product of pi and the cube of the
radius.

The volume and surface area of a sphere are given by the formulas:

where r is the radius of the sphere.

Example:

Calculate the volume of sphere with radius 4 cm.

Solution:

Volume of sphere

We can also change the subject of the formula to obtain the radius given the volume.

Example:

The volume of a spherical ball is 5,000 cm3. What is the radius of the ball?

Solution:

Example: Find the volume of a sphere with a diameter of 14 cm.
