Sets and Relations
Set
Set is a collection of well defined objects which are distinct from each
other. Sets are usually denoted by capital letters A B C
, , ,K and
elements are usually denoted by small letters a b c
, , ,... .
If a is an element of a set A, then we write a A
∈ and say a belongs to A
or a is in A or a is a member of A. If a does not belongs to A, we write
a A
∉ .
Standard Notations
N : A set of all natural numbers.
W : A set of all whole numbers.
Z : A set of all integers.
Z Z
+ −
/ : A set of all positive/negative integers.
Q : A set of all rational numbers.
Q Q
+ −
/ : A set of all positive/negative rational numbers.
R : A set of all real numbers.
R R
+ −
/ : A set of all positive/negative real numbers.
C : A set of all complex numbers.
Methods for Describing a Set
(i) Roster Form / Listing Method / Tabular Form In this
method, a set is described by listing the elements, separated by
commas and enclosed within braces.
e.g. If A is the set of vowels in English alphabet, then
A a e i o u
= { , , , , }
(ii) Set Builder Form / Rule Method In this method, we write
down a property or rule which gives us all the elements of the set.
e.g. A x x
= { : is a vowel in English alphabet}
Types of Sets
(i) Empty/Null/Void Set A set containing no element, it is denoted
by φ or { }.

(ii) Singleton Set A set containing a single element.
(iii) Finite Set A set containing finite number of elements or no
element.
Note : Cardinal Number (or Order) of a Finite Set The number of
elements in a given finite set is called its cardinal number. If A is a finite
set, then its cardinal number is denoted by n A
( ).
(iv) Infinite Set A set containing infinite number of elements.
(v) Equivalent Sets Two sets are said to be equivalent, if they
have same number of elements.
If n A n B
( ) ( )
= , then A and B are equivalent sets.
(vi) Equal Sets Two sets A and B are said to be equal, if every
element of A is a member of B and every element of B is a member
of A and we write it as A B
= .
Subset and Superset
Let A and B be two sets. If every element of A is an element of B, then
A is called subset of B and B is called superset of A and written as
A B
⊆ or B A
⊇ .
Power Set
The set formed by all the subsets of a given set A, is called power set of
A, denoted by P A
( ).
Universal Set (U)
A set consisting of all possible elements which occurs under
consideration is called a universal set.
Proper Subset
If A is a subset of B and A B
≠ , then A is called proper subset of B and
we write it as A ⊂ B.
Comparable Sets
Two sets A B
and are comparable, if A B
⊆ or B A
⊆ .
Non-comparable Sets
For two sets A B
and , if neither A B
⊆ nor B A
⊆ , then A and B are
called non-comparable sets.
Disjoint Sets
Two sets A and B are called disjoint, if A B
∩ = φ. i.e. they do not have
any common element.

Intervals as Subsets of R
(i) The set of real numbers x, such that a x b
≤ ≤ is called a closed
interval and denoted by [ , ]
a b i.e. [a, b] = { : , }
x x R a x b
∈ ≤ ≤ .
(ii) The set of real number x, such that a x b
< < is called an open
interval and is denoted by ( , )
a b
i.e. ( , )
a b = { : , }

(iii) The sets [ , ) { : , }
a b x x R a x b
= ∈ ≤ < and
( , ] { : , }
a b x x R a x b
= ∈ < ≤ are called semi-open or
semi-closed intervals.
Venn Diagram
In a Venn diagram, the universal set is represented by a rectangular
region and its subset is represented by circle or a closed geometrical
figure inside the rectangular region.

Domain, Codomain and Range of a Relation
Let R be a relation from a non-empty set A to a non-empty set B. Then,
set of all first components or coordinates of the ordered pairs belonging
to R is called the domain of R, while the set of all second components
or coordinates of the ordered pairs belonging to R is called the range
of R Also, the set B is called the codomain of relation R.
Thus, domain of R a a b R
= ∈
{ :( , ) } and range of R b a b R
= ∈
{ :( , ) }
Types of Relations
(i) Empty or Void Relation As φ ⊂ ×
A A, for any set A, so φ is a
relation on A, called the empty or void relation.
(ii) Universal Relation Since, A A A A
× ⊆ × , so A A
× is a
relation on A, called the universal relation.
(iii) Identity Relation The relation I a a a A
A = ∈
{( , ): } is called
the identity relation on A.
(iv) Reflexive Relation A relation R on a set A is said to be
reflexive relation, if every element of A is related to itself.
Thus, ( , ) ,
a a R a A R

Equivalence Relation
A relation R on a set A is said to be an equivalence relation, if it is
simultaneously reflexive, symmetric and transitive on A.
Equivalence Classes
Let R be an equivalence relation on A (≠ φ). Let a A
∈ .
Then, the equivalence class of a denoted by [ ]
a or ( )
a is defined as the
set of all those points of A which are related to a under the relation R.
Inverse Relation
If A and B are two non-empty sets and R be a relation from A to B,
then the inverse of R, denoted by R−1

defined by R b a a b R

{( , ):( , ) }.
Composition of Relation
Let R and S be two relations from sets A to B and B to C respectively,
then we can define relation SoR from A to C such that

Important Results on Relation
(i) If R and S are two equivalence relations on a set A, then R S

(ii) The union of two equivalence relations on a set is not
necessarily an equivalence relation on the set.
(iii) If R is an equivalence relation on a set A, then R−1

equivalence relation on A.
(vi) Let A and B be two non-empty finite sets consisting of m and n
elements, respectively. Then, A B

Function
Let A and B be two non-empty sets, then a function f from set A to set
B is a rule which associates each element of A to a unique element of B.
It is represented as f : A→ B or A B

mapping.

Identification of a Function from its Graph
Let us draw a vertical line parallel toY-axis, such that it intersects the graph of
the given expression.If it intersects the graph at more than one point, then the
expression is a relation else, if it intersects at only one point, then the
expression is a function.
In figure (i), the vertical parallel line intersects the curve at two points, thus the
expression is a relation whereas in figure (ii), the vertical parallel line intersects
the curve at one point. So, the expression is a function.
Types of Functions
1. One-One (or Injective) Function
A mapping f : A → B is a called one-one (or injective) function, if
different elements in A have different images in B, such a mapping is

Real Valued and Real Functions
A function f A B
: → is called a real valued function, if B R
≤ and it
is called a real function if, A R
≤ and B R
≤ .
1. Domain of Real Functions
The domain of the real function f x
( ) is the set of all those real numbers
for which the expression for f x
( ) or the formula for f x
( ) assumes real
values only.
2. Range of Real Functions
The range of a real function of a real variable is the set of all real
values taken by f x
( ) at points of its domain.
Working Rule for Finding Range of Real Functions
Let y f x
= ( ) be a real function, then for finding the range we may use
the following steps
Step I Find the domain of the function y f x
= ( ).
Step I Transform the equation y f x
= ( ) as x g y
= ( ).
i.e. convert x in terms of y.
Step III Find the values of y from x g y
= ( ) such that the values of x
are real and lying in the domain of f.
Step IV The set of values of y obtained in step III be the range of
function f.

Binary Operations
Let S be a non-empty set. A function * from S S
× to S is called a binary
operation on S i.e. * : S S S
× → is a binary operation on set S.
Note Generally binary operations are represented by the symbols *, ⊕, ... etc.,
instead of letters figure etc.
Closure Property
An operation * on a non-empty set S is said to satisfy the closure
property, if
a S b S a b S
∈ ∈ ⇒ ∈
, * , ∀ a, b S
∈
Also, in this case we say that S is closed under *.
An operation * on a non-empty set S, satisfying the closure property is
known as a binary operation.
Some Particular Cases
(i) Addition is a binary operation on each one of the sets N, Z, Q, R
and C, i.e. on the set of natural numbers, integers, rationals,
real and complex numbers, respectively. While addition on the
set S of all irrationals is not a binary operation.
(ii) Multiplication is a binary operation on each one of the sets N, Z,
Q, R and C, i.e. on the set of natural numbers, integers,
rationals, real and complex numbers, respectively. While
multiplication on the set S of all irrationals is not a binary
operation.
(iii) Subtraction is a binary operation on each one of the sets Z, Q, R
and C, i.e. on the set of integers, rationals, real and complex
numbers, respectively. While subtraction on the set of natural
numbers is not a binary operation.
(iv) Let S be a non-empty set and P S
( ) be its power set. Then, the
union, intersection and difference of sets, on P S
( ) is a binary
operation.
Functions and Binary Operations 25
Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
(v) Division is not a binary operation on any of the sets N, Z, Q, R
and C. However, it is a binary operation on the sets of all
non-zero rational (real or complex) numbers.
(vi) Exponential operation (a, b) → ab
is a binary operation on set N
of natural numbers while it is not a binary operation on set Z of
integers.
Properties of Binary Operations
(i) Commutative Property A binary operation * on a non-empty
set S is said to be commutative or abelian, if
a * b = b * a, ∀ a, b ∈S.
Addition and multiplication are commutative binary operations
on Z but subtraction is not a commutative binary operation,
since 2 3 3 2
− ≠ − .
Union and intersection are commutative binary operations on
the power set P S
( ) of S. But difference of sets is not a
commutative binary operation on P S
( ).
(ii) Associative Property A binary operation* on a non-empty set
S is said to be associative, if (a * b) * c = a * (b * c), ∀ a, b, c ∈S.
Let R be the set of real numbers, then addition and
multiplication on R satisfies the associative property.
(iii) Distributive Property Let* and o be two binary operations on
a non-empty sets. We say that * is distributed over o, if
a b o c a b o a c
*( ) ( * ) ( * )
= , ∀ a, b, c ∈S also (called left
distributive law) and (b o c) * a = (b * a) o (c * a), ∀ a, b, c ∈S
also (called right distributive law).
Let R be the set of all real numbers, then multiplication
distributes over addition on R.
Since, a b c a b a c
⋅ + = ⋅ + ⋅
( ) , ∀ a, b, c ∈R.
Identity Element
Let * be a binary operation on a non-empty set S. An element e ∈S, if it
exist, such that a * e = e * a = a, ∀ a ∈S, is called an identity elements
of S, with respect to *.
For addition on R, zero is the identity element in R.
Since, a a a
+ = + =
0 0 , ∀ a R
∈
26 Handbook of Mathematics
Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
For multiplication on R, 1 is the identity element in R.
Since, a a a
× = × =
1 1 , ∀ a R
∈
Let P (S) be the power set of a non-empty set S. Then, φ is the identity
element for union on P (S), as A A A
∪ = ∪ =
φ φ , ∀ A P S
∈ ( )
Also, S is the identity element for intersection on P S
( ).
Since, A S A S A
∩ = ∩ = , ∀ A P S
∈ ( ).
For addition on N the identity element does not exist. But for
multiplication on N the identity element is 1.
Inverse of an Element
Let * be a binary operation on a non-empty set S and let e be the
identity element.
Suppose a S
∈ , we say that a is invertible, if there exists an element
b S
∈ such that a b b a e
* *
= =
Also, in this case, b is called the inverse of a and we write, a b
−
=
1
Addition on N has no identity element and accordingly N has no
invertible element.
Multiplication on N has 1 as the identity element and no element other
than 1 is invertible.
Important Points to be Remembered

(i) the total number of binary operations on S is nn 2

(ii) the total number of commutative binary operations’ on S is

Complex Numbers
Complex Number
A number of the form z x iy

number. Here, the symbol i is used to denote −1 and it is called iota.
The set of complex numbers is denoted by C.
Real and Imaginary Parts of a Complex Number Let z x iy

imaginary part of z and it may be denoted as Re( )
z and Im( )
z ,
respectively.
Purely Real and Purely Imaginary Complex Number A complex
number z is a purely real, if its imaginary part is 0.
i.e. Im ( ) .
z = 0 And purely imaginary, if its real part is 0 i.e. Re( )
z = 0.
Zero Complex Number A complex number is said to be zero, if its

Argand Plane and Argument
of a Complex Number
Argand Plane
Any complex number z x i y
= + can be represented geometrically by a
point ( , )
x y in a plane, called Argand plane or Gaussian plane.
There exists a one-one correspondence between the points of the plane
and the members of the set C of all complex numbers.
The length of the line segment OP is the modulus of z,
i.e.| |
z = length of OP x y
= +
2 2
.
Argument
The angle made by the line joining point z to the origin, with the
positive direction of real axis is called argument of that complex
number. It is denoted by the symbol arg (z) or amp (z).
arg (z) = =






−
θ tan 1 y
x
Argument of z is not unique, general value of the argument of z is
2nπ θ
+ , where n is an integer. But arg (0) is not defined.
A purely real number is represented by a point on real axis.
A purely imaginary number is represented by a point on imaginary
axis.
Principal Value of Argument
The value of the argument which lies in the interval ( , ]
− π π is called
principal value of argument.
(i) If x > 0 and y > 0, then arg (z) = θ
(ii) If x < 0 and y > 0, then arg (z) = −

(iii) If x < 0 and y < 0, then arg (z) = −

5. Geometrical Representation of the Conjugate
of Complex Numbers
If a point P represents a complex number z, then its conjugate z is
represented by the image of P in the real axis.
Geometrically, the point (x y

Important Points about Roots of Algebraic Equation
(i) An equation of degree n has n roots, real or imaginary.
(ii) Irrationalroots of a polynomialequation with rationalcoefficients,always
occurs in a pair, e.g. if 2 3
+ is a root, then 2 3
− is also its root.
(iii) Imaginary roots of a polynomial equation with real coefficients always
occur in a pair e.g. if ( )
2 3
+ i is a root, then( )
2 3
− i is also its root.
(iv) An odd degree equation has atleast one real root whose sign is opposite
to that of its last term (constant term), provided that the coefficient of
highest degree term is positive.
(v) Every equation of an even degree whose constant term is negative and
the coefficient of highest degree term is positive has atleast two real
roots, one positive and one negative.
(vi) If an equation has only one change of sign, then it has one positive root.
(vii) If all the terms of an equation are positive and the equation involves
no odd powers of x, then all its roots are complex.
(viii) If all the terms of an equation are positive and equation involves only odd
power of x, thenO is the only real root.
Inequality
A statement involving the symbols >, <, ≤ or ≥ is called an inequality
or inequation.
Here, the symbols < (less than), > (greater than), ≤ (less than or equal
to) and ≥ (greater than or equal to) are known as symbol of
inequalities.
e.g. 5 7
< , x ≤ 2, x y
+ ≥ 11
Types of Inequalities
(i) Numerical inequality An inequality which does not involve
any variable is called a numerical inequality.
Theory of Equations and Inequations 57
Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
e.g. 4 2
> , 8 21
<
(ii) Literal inequality An inequality which have variables is
called literal inequality.
e.g. x < 7, y ≥ 11, x y
− ≤ 4
(iii) Strict inequality An inequality which have only < or > is called
strict inequality.
e.g. 3 0
x y
+ < , x > 7
(iv) Slack inequality An inequality which have only
≥ or ≤ is called slack inequality.
e.g. 3 2 0
x y
+ ≤ , y ≥ 4
Linear Inequality
An inequality is said to be linear, if the variable (s) occurs in first
degree only and there is no term involving the product of the variables.
e.g. ax b
+ ≤ 0, ax by c
+ + > 0, ax ≤ 4.
Linear Inequality in One Variable
A linear inequality which has only one variable, is called linear
inequality in one variable.
e.g. ax b
+ < 0, where a ≠ 0
Linear Inequality in Two Variables
A linear inequality which have only two variables, is called linear
inequality in two variables.
e.g. 3 11 0
x y
+ ≤ , 4 3 0
t y

Concept of Intervals on a Number Line
On number line or real line, various types of infinite subsets, known as
intervals, are defined below
Closed Interval
The set of all real numbers x, such that a x b
≤ ≤ , is called a closed
interval and is denoted by [a b

On the number line, [ , ]
a b may be represented as follows
Open Interval
The set of all real numbers x, such that a x b
< < , is called an open
interval and is denoted by ( , )
a b or ] , [

Solution of an Inequality
Any solution of an inequality is the value(s) of variable(s) which makes
it a true statement.
1. Addition or Subtraction
Some number may be added (or subtracted) to (from) both sides of an
inequality i.e. if a b

1 2 3 k . We represents the images of
1 2 3
, , , , ,
K n ... as f f f fn
1 2 3
, , ,..., ..., where f f n
n = ( ).
In other words, a sequence is an arrangement of numbers in definite
order according to some rule.
l A sequence containing a finite number of terms is called a finite
sequence.
l A sequence containing an infinite number of terms is called an
infinite sequence.
l A sequence whose range is a subset of real number R, is called a
real sequence.
Progression
A sequence whose terms follow a certain pattern is called a progression.
Series
If a a a an
1 2 3
, , ,..., ,... is a sequence, then the sum expressed as
a a a an
1 2 3
+ + + +
... +... is called a series.
l A series having finite number of terms is called finite series.
l A series having infinite number of terms is called infinite series.
Arithmetic Progression (AP)
A sequence in which terms increase or decrease regularly by a fixed
number. This fixed number is called the common difference of AP.
e.g. a, a d
+ , a d
+ 2 ,... is an AP, where a = first term and d = common
difference.

Properties of Arithmetic Progression
(i) If a constant is added or subtracted from each term of an AP, then
the resulting sequence is also an AP with same common
difference.
(ii) If each term of an AP is multiplied or divided by a non-zero
constant k, then the resulting sequence is also an AP, with
common difference kd or

Permutations and
Combinations
Fundamental Principles of Counting
There are two Fundamental Principles of Counting
1. Multiplication Principle
If first operation can be performed in m ways and then a second
operation can be performed in n ways. Then, the two operations taken
together can be performed in mn ways. This can be extended to any
finite number of operations.
2. Addition Principle
If an operation can be performed in m ways and another operation,
which is independent of the first, can be performed in n ways. Then,
either of the two operations can be performed in m n
+ ways. This can
be extended to any finite number of mutually exclusive events.
Factorial
For any natural number n, we define factorial as
n ! or |n = − − × ×
n n n

The rotation n ! represent the present of first n natural numbers.

Principle of Mathematical Induction
In an algebra, there are certain results that are formulated in terms of
n, where n is a positive integer. Such results can be proved by specific
technique, which is known as the principle of Mathematical Induction.
Statement
A sentence or description which can be judged either true or false, is
called the statement.
e.g. (i) 3 divides 9.
(ii) Lucknow is the capital of Uttar Pradesh.
1. First Principle of Mathematical Induction
Let P n
( ) be a statement involving natural number n. To prove
statement P n
( ) is true for all natural number, we follow following
process
(i) Prove that P( )
1 is true.
(ii) Assume P k
( ) is true.
(iii) Using (i) and (ii) prove that statement is true for n k
= + 1,
i.e. P k
( )
+ 1 is true.
This is first principle of Mathematical Induction.
2. Second Principle of Mathematical Induction
In second principle of Mathematical Induction following steps are used:
(i) Prove that P( )
1 is true.
(ii) Assume P n
( ) is true for all natural numbers such that 2 ≤ <
n k.
(iii) Using (i) and (ii), prove that P k
( )
+ 1 is true.

Probability
Experiment
An operation which produce some well-defined results or outcomes is
called an experiment.
Types of Experiments
1. Deterministic Experiment
Those experiments, which when repeated under identical conditions
produce the same result or outcome are known as deterministic
experiment.
2. Probabilistic/Random Experiment
Those experiments, which when repeated under identical conditions,
do not produce the same outcome every time but the outcome produced
is one of the several possible outcomes, are called random experiment.
Some Basic Definitions
(i) Trial Performing an experiment is called a trial. The number
of times an experiment is repeated is called the number of trials.
(ii) Sample Space The set of all possible outcomes of a random
experiment is called the sample space of the experiment and it is
denoted by S.
(iii) Sample Point The outcome of an experiment is called the
sample point, i.e. the elements of set S are called the sample
points.
(iv) Event A subset of the sample space associated with a random
experiment is called event or case.
(v) Elementary (or Simple) Event An event containing only one
sample point is called elementary event (or indecomposable
event).
(vi) Compound Event An event containing more than one sample
points is called compound event (or decomposable event).
(vii) Occurrence of an Event An event associated to a random
experiment is said to occur, if any one of the elementary events
associated to it is an outcome.
Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
(viii) Certain Event An event which must occur, whatever be the
outcomes, is called a certain event (or sure event).
(ix) Impossible Event An event which cannot occur in a random
experiment, is called an impossible event.
(x) Favourable Outcomes Let S be the sample space associated
with a random experiment and E ⊂ S. Then, the elementary
events belonging to E are known as the favourable outcomes to E.
(xi) Equally likely Outcomes The outcomes of a random
experiment are said to be equally likely, when each outcome is as
likely to occur as the other.
Algebra of Events
Let A and B are two events associated with a random experiment,
whose sample space is S. Then,
(i) the event ‘not A’ is the set ′
A or S A
−
(ii) the events A or B is the set A ∪ B
(iii) the events A and B is the set A ∩ B
(iv) the events A but not B is the set A − B or A ∩ ′
B
Note For more details, see operations on sets.
Probability—
Theoretical (Classical) Approach
If there are n equally likely outcomes associated with a random
experiment and m of them are favourable to an event A, then the
probability of happening or occurrence of A, denoted by P A
( ), is given by
P A
m
n
A
( ) = =
Number of favourable outcomes to
Total number of possible outcomes
Axiomatic Approach
Let S w w w wn
= { , , ,... }
1 2 3 be a sample space, then according to
axiomatic approach we have the following

Different Types of Events and Their Probabilities
(i) Equally Likely Events The given events are said to be

the other.

(ii) Mutually Exclusive Events A set of events is said to be
mutually exclusive, if the happening of one event excludes the
happening of the other.
If A and B are mutually exclusive events, then ( ) .

∴The probability of mutually exclusive events is P ( )
A B

(iii) Probability of Exhaustive Events A set of events is said to
be exhaustive, if atleast one of them necessarily occurs whenever
the experiment is performed.
If E1 2

(iv) Independent Events Two events A and B, associated to a
random experiment, are independent if the probability of
occurrence or non-occurrence of A is not affected by the
occurrence or non-occurrence of B.
Note If A and B are independent events associated with a random
experiment, then
(a) P A B P A P B

(c) A B

(d) A and B are independent events.
(v) Complementary Event Let A be an event of a sample space
S, the complementary event to A is the event containing all
sample points other than the sample point in A and it is denoted
by A A

Important Points to be Remembered
Coin
A coin has two sides, head and tail. If an experiment consists of more than one
coin, then coins are considered as distinct, if not otherwise stated.
Die
A die has six face marked with 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6. If an experiment consists of
more than one die, then all dice are considered as distinct, if not otherwise
stated.
Playing Cards
A pack of playing cards has 52 cards, which are divided into 4 suits (spade,
heart, diamond and club) each having 13 cards.
The cards in each suit are ace, king, queen, jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2.
King, queen and jack are called face cards, so there are in all 12 face cards. Also,
there are 16 honour cards, 4 of each suit namely ace, king, queen and jack.
The suits, clubs and spades are of black colour while the suits hearts and
diamonds are of red colour. So, there are 26 red cards and 26 black cards.

Trigonometric Functions,
Identities and Equations
Angle
When a ray OA starting from its initial
position OA rotates about its end point O
and takes the final position OB, we say
that angle AOB (written as ∠ AOB) has
been formed.
The amount of rotation from the initial side
to the terminal side is called the measure
of the angle.
Positive and Negative Angles
An angle formed by a rotating ray is said to be positive or negative
depending on whether it moves in an anti-clockwise or a clockwise
direction, respectively.
Measurement of Angles
There are three system for measuring the angles, which are given
below
1. Sexagesimal System (Degree Measure)
In this system, a right angle is divided into 90 equal parts, called the
degrees. The symbol 1° is used to denote one degree. Each degree is
divided into 60 equal parts, called the minutes and one minute is

divided into 60 equal parts, called the seconds. Symbols 1′ and 1′′ are
used to denote one minute and one second, respectively.
i.e. 1 right angle = °
90 , 1 60
° = ′, 1 60
′ = ′′
2. Circular System (Radian Measure)
In this system, angle is measured in radian. A radian is the angle
subtended at the centre of a circle by an arc, whose length is equal to
the radius of the circle. The number of radians in an angle subtended
by an arc of circle at the centre is equal to
arc
radius
.
3. Centesimal System (French System)
In this system, a right angle is divided into 100 equal parts, called the
grades. Each grade is subdivided into 100 min and each minute is
divided into 100 s.
i.e. 1 right angle = 100 grades = 100g

Sign of Trigonometric Functions in
Different Quadrants
If we draw two mutually perpendicular (intersecting) lines in the plane
of paper, then these lines divide the plane of paper into four parts,
known as quadrants.
In anti-clockwise order, these quadrants are numbered as I, II, III and
IV. All angles from 0° to 90° are taken in I quardant, 90° to 180° in II
quardant, 180° to 270° in III quadrant and 270° to 360° in IV
quadrant.

Important Points to be Remembered
(i) While solving an equation, we have to square it, sometimes the resulting
roots does not satisfy the original equation.
(ii) Do not cancel common factors involving the unknown angle on LHS and
RHS. Because it may be the solution of given equation.
(iii) (a) Equation involving secθ or tanθ can never be a solution of the form

Solution of Triangles
Basic Rules of Triangle
In a ∆ABC, the angles are denoted by capital letters A B
, and C and
the lengths of the sides opposite to these angles are denoted by small
letters a b

denoted by ∆ and 2s respectively.
Semi-perimeter of the triangle is written as s

Solutions of a Triangle
Elements of a Triangle
There are six elements of a triangle, in which three are its sides and
other three are its angle. If three elements of a triangle are given,
atleast one of which is its side, then other elements can be uniquely
calculated. This is called solving the triangle.

Heights and
Distances
Height and distance is the important application of Trigonometry, in
which we measure the height and distance of different object as towers,
building etc.
Angle of Elevation
If O be the observer’s eye and OX be the horizontal line through O.
If the object P is at higher level than eye, then ∠ POX is called the
angle of elevation.
Angle of Depression
If the object P is a lower level than O, then ∠ POX is called the angle
of depression.
Note
(i) Angle of elevation and depression are always acute angle.
(ii) Angle of elevation of an object from an observer is same as angle of
depression of an observer from the object.

Inverse Trigonometric
Functions
Inverse Function
If y f x
= ( ) and x g y
= ( ) are two functions such that f g y y
( ( )) = and
g f y x
( ( )) = , then f and y are said to be inverse of each other,
i.e. g f
= −1
. If y f x
= ( ), then x f y
= −1
( ).
Inverse Trigonometric Functions
As we know that trigonometric functions are not one-one and onto in
their natural domain and range, so their inverse do not exist but if we
restrict their domain and range, then their inverse may exists.
Domain and Range of Inverse Trigonometric Functions
The range of trigonometric functions becomes the domain of inverse
trigonometric functions and restricted domain of trigonometric
functions becomes range or principal value branch of inverse
trigonometric functions.

Rectangular Axis
Coordinate Geometry
The branch of mathematics in which we study the position of any
object lying in a plane with the help of two mutually perpendicular
lines in the same plane, is called coordinate geometry.
Rectangular Axis
Let XOX YOY
′ ′
and be two fixed straight lines, which meet at right
angles at O. Then,
(i) X ′OX is called axis of X or abscissa or the X-axis.
(ii) Y OY
′ is called axis of Y or ordinate or the Y-axis.
(iii) The ordered pair of real numbers ( , )
x y is called cartesian
coordinate.
(iv) Coordinates of the origin are ( , )
0 0 .
(v) y-coordinate of a point on X-axis is zero.
(vi) x-coordinate of a point on Y -axis is zero.

Rectangular Axis 165
Locus
The curve described by a point which moves under given condition(s) is
called its locus.
Equation of Locus
The equation of curve described by a point, which moves under given
conditions(s), is called the equation of locus.
Step Taken to Find the Equation of Locus of a Point
Step I Assume the coordinates of the point say (h,k) whose locus is to be
found.
Step II Write the given condition in mathematical form involving h, k.
Step III Eliminate the variable(s), if any.
Step IV Replace h by x and k by y in the result obtained in step III. The equation
so obtained is the locus of the point, which moves under some stated
condition(s).

Straight Line
A straight line is the locus of all those points which are collinear with
two given points.
General equation of a line is ax by c

Note
l We can have one and only one line through a fixed point in a given direction.
l We can have infinitely many lines through a given point.
Slope (Gradient) of a Line
The trigonometrical tangent of the angle that a line makes with the
positive direction of the X-axis in anti-clockwise sense is called the
slope or gradient of the line.
So, slope of a line, m = tanθ
where, θ is the angle made by the line with positive direction of X-axis.
Important Results on Slope of Line
(i) Slope of a line parallel to X-axis,m = 0.
(ii) Slope of a line parallel to Y-axis,m = ∞.
(iii) Slope of a line equally inclined with axes is 1 or −1as it makes an angle of
45°or135°, with X-axis.

Circle is defined as the locus of a point which moves in a plane such
that its distance from a fixed point in that plane is constant.
The fixed point is called the centre and the constant distance is called
the radius.

General Equation of a Circle
The general equation of a circle is given by x y gx fy c
2 2
2 2 0
+ + + + = ,
whose centre = − −
( , )
g f and radius = + −
g f c
2 2
(i) If g f c
2 2
0
+ − > , then the radius of the circle is real and hence
the circle is also real.
(ii) If g f c
2 2
0
+ − = , then the radius of the circle is 0 and the circle is
known as point circle.
(iii) If g f c
2 2
0
+ − < , then the radius of the circle is imaginary. Such
a circle is imaginary, which is not possible to draw.
Position of a Point w.r.t. a Circle
A point ( , )

Intercepts on the Axes
The length of the intercepts made by the circle
x y gx fy c
2 2
2 2 0
+ + + + = with X and Y -axes are
2 2
g c
− and 2 2
f c
− respectively.
(i) If g c
2
> , then the roots of the equation x gx c
2
2 0
+ + = are real
and distinct, so the circle x y gx fy c
2 2
2 2 0
+ + + + = meets the
X-axis in two real and distinct points.
(ii) If g c
2
= , then the roots of the equation x gx c
2
2 0
+ + = are real
and equal, so the circle touches X-axis, then intercept on X-axis
is 0.
(iii) If g c
2
< , then the roots of the equation x gx c
2
2 0
+ + = are
imaginary, so the given circle does not meet X-axis in real point.
Similarly, the circle x y gx fy c

Radical Axis
The radical axis of two circles is the locus
of a point which moves in such a way
that the length of the tangents drawn
from it to the two circles are equal. A
system of circles in which every pair has
the same radical axis is called a coaxial
system of circles. The equation of radical

Coaxial System of Circles
A system of circle is said to be coaxial system of circles, if every pair of
the circles in the system has same radical axis.
(i) The equation of a system of coaxial circles, when the equation of

where λ is an arbitrary constant.
(ii) Since, the lines joining the centres of two circles is perpendicular
to their radical axis. Therefore, the centres of all circles of a
coaxial system lie on a straight line, which is perpendicular to
the common radical axis.
Limiting Points
Limiting points of a system of coaxial circles are the centres of the
point circles belonging to the family.
Let equation of circle be x y gx c

Director Circle
The locus of the point of intersection of perpendicular tangents to a
parabola is known as director circle.
The director circle of a parabola is same as its directrix.
Pole and Polar
Let P be a point lying within or outside a given parabola. Suppose any
straight line drawn through P intersects the parabola at Q and R.
Then, the locus of the point of intersection of the tangents to the
parabola at Q and R is called the polar of the given point P with
respect to the parabola and the point P is called the pole of the polar.

Ellipse
Ellipse is the locus of a point in a plane which moves in such a way
that the ratio of the distance from a fixed point (focus) in the same
plane to its distance from a fixed straight line (directrix) is always
constant, which is always less than unity.
Major and Minor Axes
The line segment through the foci of the ellipse with its end points on
the ellipse, is called its major axis.
The line segment through the centre and perpendicular to the major
axis with its end points on the ellipse, is called its minor axis.

same plane to its distance from a fixed line is always constant, which is
always greater than unity.
The fixed point is called the focus and the fixed line is directrix and
the ratio is the eccentricity.
Transverse and Conjugate Axes
(i) The line through the foci of the hyperbola is called its transverse
axis.
(ii) The line through the centre and perpendicular to the transverse
axis of the hyperbola is called its conjugate axis.

Focal Distance of a Point
The distance of a point on the hyperbola from the focus is called its
focal distance.
The difference of the focal distances of any point on a hyperbola is
constant and is equal to the length of transverse axis of the hyperbola

Methods of Evaluating Limits
1. Determinate Forms (Limits by Direct Substitution)
To find lim ( )
x a
f x
→
, we substitute x a
= in the function. If the value comes
out to be a definite value, then it is the limit.
Thus, lim ( ) ( )
x a
f x f a
→
= provided it exists.
2. Indeterminate Forms
While evaluating lim ( )
x a
f x
→
, if direct substitution of x a
= leads to one of
the following form
0
0
0
; ; ;
∞
∞
∞ − ∞ × ∞ ; ,
1 00
∞
and ∞0
, then these limits
can be determined by using L’ Hospital’s rule or by some other method
given below.
(i) Limits by Factorisation
If lim
( )
( )
x a
f x
g x
→
attains
0
0
form, then x a
− must be a factor of numerator
and denominator which can be cancelled out.
(ii) Limits by Rationalisation
If lim
( )
( )
x a
f x
g x
→
attains
0
0
form or
∞
∞
form and either f x
( ) or g x
( ) or both
involve expression consisting of square root, then this can be evaluated
by rationalising.
(iii) Limits by Substitution
In order to evaluate lim ( ),
x a
f x
→
we may substitute x a h
= +
(or x a h
= − ), so that x a
→ changes to h → 0.
Thus, lim ( ) lim ( )
x a h
f x f a h
→ →
= ±
0
(iv) Limits when x → ∞
If lim
( )
( )
x
f x
g x
→ ∞
is of the form
∞
∞
and both f x
( ) and g x
( ) are polynomial of x.
Then, we divide numerator and denominator by the highest power of x
and put 0 for
1 1 1
2 3
x x x
, , , etc.

Continuity
If the graph of a function has no break or gap, then it is continuous. A
function which is not continuous is called a discontinuous function.
e.g. f x

While f x

Continuity of a Function at a Point
Let f be a real function and a be a point in the domain of f. We say f is
continuous at a, if lim ( ) ( ).
x a
f x f a
→
=
i.e. lim ( ) lim ( ) ( )
x a x a
f x f x f a
→ →
− +
= =
Thus, f x
( ) is continuous at x a
= , if lim ( )
x a
f x
→
exists and equals to f a
( ).
Note If a function is not continuous at x a
= , then it is said to be discontinuous
at x a
= .
Continuity of a Function in an Interval
(i) A function f x
( )is said to be continuous in an open interval ( , )
a b ,
if f x
( ) is continuous at every point of the interval.
(ii) A function f x
( )is said to be continuous in a closed interval [ , ]
a b ,
if f x
( ) is continuous in ( , )
a b . In addition, f x
( ) is continuous at
x a
= from right and f x
( ) is continuous at x b
= from left.
Note A real function f is said to be continuous in its domain, if it is continuous
at every point of its domain.
Discontinuity of a Function
A function f x
( ) can be discontinuous at a point x a
= in any one of the
following ways.
(i) f a
( ) is not defined.
(ii) LHL and RHL both exist but unequal i.e.

Types of Discontinuity
1. Removable Discontinuity
If lim ( )
x a
f x
→
exists and either it is not equal to f a
( ) or f a
( ) is not
defined, then the function f x
( ) is said to have a removable
discontinuity (missing point discontinuity) of x a
= .
This discontinuity can be removed by suitably defining the function at
x a
= .
2. Non-removable discontinuity
Non-removable discontinuity is of following two types
(i) Discontinuity of first kind
If lim ( )
x a
f x
→ −
and lim ( )
x a
f x
→ +
both exist but are not equal, then the
function f x
( ) is said to have a non-removable discontinuity of first kind
at x a
= .
Note In this case, we also say that f x
( ) has jump discontinuity at x a
= and
we defind lim ( ) lim ( )
x a x a
f x f x
→ →
− +
− = jump of the function at x a
= .
(ii) Discontinuity of second kind
If at least one of the limits lim ( )
x a
f x
→ −
or lim ( )
x a
f x
→ +
does not exist or at
least one of these is ∞ or − ∞, then the function f x
( ) is said to have a
non-removable discontinuity of second kind at x a
= .
Important Points to be Remembered
(i) If f x
( ) is continuous and g x
( ) is discontinuous at x a
= , then the product
function φ( ) ( ) ( )
x f x g x
= ⋅ is not necessarily be discontinuous at x a
= .
(ii) Iff x
( ) and g x
( ) both are discontinuous at x a
= , then the product function
φ( ) ( ) ( )
x f x g x
= ⋅ is not necessarily be discontinuous at x a
= .
(iii) There are some functions which are continuous only at one point.
e.g. f x
( ) =

(c)
f
g
is continuous at those points, where g x
( ) ≠ 0.
(ii) If gis continuous at a point a and f is continuous at g a
( ), then fog
is continuous at a.
(iii) If f is continuous in [ , ]
a b , then it is bounded in [ , ]
a b i.e. there
exist m and M such that
m f x M x a b
≤ ≤ ∀ ∈
( ) , [ , ],
where m and M are called minimum and maximum values of
f x
( ) respectively in the interval [ , ]
a b .
(iv) If f is continuous in its domain, then| |
f is also continuous in its
domain.
(v) If f is continuous at a and f a
( )≠ 0, then there exists an open
interval( , )
a a
− +
δ δ such that for all x a a

( , )
δ δ , f x
( )has the
same sign as f a
( ).
(vi) If f is a continuous function defined on [ , ]
a b such that f a
( ) and
f b
( )are of opposite sign, then there exists atleast one solution of
the equation f x
( )= 0 in the open interval ( , )
a b .
(vii) If f is continuous on [ , ]
a b and maps [ , ]
a b into [ , ]
a b , then for
some x a b

Differentiability
If the curve has no break point and no sharp edge, then it is
differentiable.
Differentiability (or Derivability) of a Function at a Point
The function f x
( ) is differentiable at a point P iff there exists a unique
tangent at point P.
In other words, f x
( ) is differentiable at a point P iff the curve does not
have P as a corner point i.e. the function is not differentiable at those
points on which function has holes or sharp edges.
If the shape of curve is any of the following forms,
then the function is not differentiable at point A.

Differentiability of a Function in an Interval
(i) A function f x
( ) is said to be differentiable in an interval ( , )
a b , if
f x
( ) is differentiable at every point of this interval ( , )
a b .
(ii) A function f x
( ) is said to be differentiable in a closed interval
[ , ]
a b , if f x
( ) is differentiable in ( , )
a b , in addition f x
( ) is
differentiable at x a
= from right and at x b
= from left.
Note A real function f is said to be differentiable if it is differentiable at
every point of its domain.
Fundamental Theorems of Differentiability
(i) The sum, difference, product and quotient of two differentiable
function, provided it is defined, is differential.
(ii) The composition of differential function is a differential
function.
(iii) If f x
( ) and g x
( ) both are not differential function, then the sum
function f x g x
( ) ( )
+ and the product function f x g x
( ) ( )
⋅ can be
differential function.
Relation between Continuity and Differentiability
(i) If a function f x
( )is differentiable at x a
= , then f x
( )is necessarily
continuous at x a
= but the converse is not necessary true, i.e. if
a function is continuous at x a
= , then it is not necessary that f is
differentiable at x a
=
(ii) If f is not continuous at x a
= , then f is not differential at x a
= .

Derivatives as the Rate of Change
If a variable quantity y is some function of time t i.e. y f t
= ( ), then
small change in time ∆t have a corresponding change ∆y in y.
Thus, the average rate of change =
∆

When limit ∆t → 0 is applied, the rate of change becomes
instantaneous and we get the rate of change with respect to t at any
instant y, i.e. lim

Similarly, the differential coefficient of y with respect to x i.e.
dy
dx
is
nothing but the rate of change of y relative to x.
Derivative as the Rate of Change of Two Variables
Let two variables are varying with respect to another variable t, i.e.
y f t x g t
= =
( )and ( ).
Then, rate of change of y with respect to x is given by

Note
dy

is positive, if y increases as x increases and is negative, if y
decreases as x increases.
Marginal Cost
Marginal cost represents the instantaneous rate of change of the total
cost with respect to the number of items produced at an instant. If C x
( )
represents the cost function for x units produced, then marginal cost,
denoted by MC, is given by
MC =

Marginal Revenue

Tangents and Normals
A tangent is a straight line, which touches the curve y f x

A normal is a straight line perpendicular to a tangent to the curve

Geometrically
Under the assumptions of Rolle’s theorem, the graph of f x
( ) starts at
point ( , ( ))
a f a and ends at point ( , ( ))
b f b as shown in figures.
The conclusion is that there is atleast one point c between a and b,
such that the tangent to the graph at ( , ( ))
c f c is parallel to the X-axis.
Algebraic Interpretation of Rolle’s Theorem
Between any two roots of a polynomial f x
( ), there is always a root of its
derivative f x
′( ).
Lagrange’s Mean Value Theorem
Let f be a real function, continuous on the closed interval [ , ]
a b and
differentiable in the open interval ( , )
a b . Then, there is atleast one
point c in the open interval ( , )
a b , such that
f c

Geometrically For any chord of the curve y f x

the graph, where the tangent is parallel to this chord.
Remarks In the particular case, when f a f b

the expression

becomes zero,
i.e. when f a
( ) = f b f c

theorem becomes a particular case of the Lagrange’s mean value
theorem.

Monotonic Function
If a function is either increasing or decreasing on an interval ( , )
a b ,
then it is said to be a monotonic function.
Note If a function is increasing in some interval I1 and decreasing in some
interval I2, then that function is not monotonic function.
Properties of Monotonic Functions
(i) If f x
( ) is strictly increasing (decreasing) function on an interval
[ , ]
a b , then f−1
exist and also a strictly increasing (decreasing)
function.
(ii) If f x
( )and g x
( )are strictly increasing (or decreasing) function on
[ , ]
a b , then gof x
( ) and fog x
( ) (provided they exists) is strictly
increasing function on [ , ]
a b .
(iii) If one of the two functions f x
( )and g x
( )is strictly increasing and
other a strictly decreasing, then gof x
( )and fog x
( )(provided they
exists) is strictly decreasing on [ , ]
a b .
(iv) If f x
( ) is continuous on [ , ]
a b , and differentiable on (a, b) such
that( ( ) )
f c
′ > 0 for each c a b
∈( , )is strictly increasing function on
[ , ].
a b
(v) If f x
( ) is continuous on [ , ]
a b such that f c
′ <
( ) 0 for each c a b
∈( , ),
then f x

Maxima and Minima of Functions
Local Maximum (Maxima) A function y f x
= ( ) is said to have a local
maximum at a point x a
= . If f x f a

≤ for all x a h a h
∈ − +
( , ), where
h is very small positive quantity.
The point x a
= is called a point of local maximum of the function
f x

( ) is known as the local maximum value of f x
( ) at x a

Local Minimum (Minima) A function
y f x
= ( ) is said to have a local
minimum at a point x a
= , if f x f a
( ) ( )
≥
for all x a h a h
∈ − +
( , ), where h is very
small positive quantity.
The point x a
= is called a point of
local minimum of the function f x
( ) and
f a
( ) is known as the local minimum
value of f x
( ) at x a
= .
Note Extreme value A function f x
( ) is said to have an extreme value in
domain, if there exists a point c in interval such that f c
( )is either a local
maximum value or local minimum value in the interval.
Properties of Maxima and Minima
(i) If f x
( ) is continuous function in its domain, then atleast one
maxima and one minima must lie between two different values
of x on which functional values are equal.
(ii) Maxima and minima occur alternately, i.e., between two
maxima there is one minima and vice-versa.
(iii) If f x x a
( )→ ∞ →
as or band f x
′ =
( ) 0only for one value of x (sayc)
between a and b, then f c
( ) is necessarily the minimum and the
least value.
(iv) If f x x a
( )→ − ∞ →
as or b and f c
′ =
( ) 0 only for one value of
x c
( )
say between a and b, then f c
( ) is necessarily the maximum
and the greatest value.
Critical Points of a Function
Points where a function f x
( ) is not differentiable and points where its
derivative (differentiable coefficient) is zero are called the critical
points of the function f x
( ).
Maximum and minimum values of a function f x
( ) can occur only at
critical points. However, this does not mean that the function will have
maximum or minimum values at all critical points. Thus, the points
where maximum or minimum value occurs are necessarily critical
points but a function may or may not have maximum or minimum
value at a critical point.

Important Points to be Remembered
(i) If f x
( ) be a differentiable functions, then f x
′( ) vanishes at every local
maximum and at every local minimum.
(ii) The converse of above is not true, i.e. every point at whichf x
′( ) vanishes
need not be a local maximum or minimum. e.g. iff x x
( ) = 3
, thenf′ =
( )
0 0,
but at x = 0 the function has neither maxima nor minima. In general these
points are point of inflection.
(iii) A function may attain an extreme value at a point without being
derivable at that point. e.g. f x x
( ) | |
= has a minima at x = 0 but f′( )
0 does
not exist.
(iv) A functionf x
( ) can has several local maximum and local minimum values
in an interval. Thus, the maximum and minimum values of f x
( ) defined
above are not necessarily the greatest and the least values of f x
( ) in a
given interval.
(v) A local value at some point may even be greater than a local values at
some other point.
Methods to Find a Local Maximum and
Local Minimum
1. First Derivative Test
Let f x
( ) be a differentiable function on an interval I and a I
∈ .
Then,
(i) Point a is a local maximum of f x
( ), if
(a) f a
′ =

(b) f x
′ >

is a small positive quantity.
(ii) Point a is a local minimum of f x
( ), if
(a) f a
′ =

(b) f a
′ <
( ) 0, if x a h a

( , )and f x
′ >
( ) 0, if x a a h

h is a small positive quantity.
(iii) If f a

′( ) does not changes sign in ( , )
a h a h

any positive quantity h, then x a

Let f x
( ) be a differentiable function on an interval I. Let a I

that ′′
f x

(i) x a
= is a point of local maximum, if f a

(ii) x a

(iii) If f a f a

interior point of I such that
f a f a f a f a

Concept of Global Maximum/Minimum
Let y f x

a b is
basically the greatest/least value of f x

Then, M1 is the greatest value or global maxima in [ , ]

the least value or global minima in [ , ].

Important Points to be Remembered
(i) To Find Range of a Continuous Function Let f x
( ) be a continuous
function on [ , ]
a b , such that its least value in [ , ]
a b is m and the greatest
value in[ , ]
a b is M. Then, range of value of f x
( ) for x a b
∈[ , ] is[ , ]
m M .
(ii) To Check for the Injectivity of a Function A strictly monotonic
function is always one-one (injective).
Hence, a function f x
( ) is one-one in the interval [ , ]
a b , if
f x x a b
′ > ∀ ∈
( ) , [ , ]
0 orf x x a b
′ < ∀ ∈
( ) , [ , ]
0 .
(iii) The points at which a function attains either the local maximum value or
local minimum value are known as the extreme points or turning
points and both local maximum and local minimum values are called the
extreme values off x
( ).
Thus, a function attains an extreme value at x a
= , if f a
( ) is either a local
maximum value or a local minimum value. Consequently at an extreme
point ‘a’,f x f a
( ) ( )
− keeps the same sign for all values of x in a deleted nbd
of a.
(iv) A necessary condition forf a
( ) to be an extreme value of a functionf x
( ) is
that ′ =
f a
( ) 0 in case it exists. It is not sufficient. i.e. f a
′ =
( ) 0 does not
necessarily imply that x a
= is an extreme point. There are functions for
which the derivatives vanish at a point but do not have an extreme value.
e.g. the function f x x f
( ) , ( )
= ′ =
3
0 0 but at x = 0 the function does not
attain an extreme value.
(v) Geometrically the above condition means that the tangent to the curve
y f x
= ( ) at a point where the ordinate is maximum or minimum is parallel
to the X-axis.
(vi) All x,for whichf x
′ =
( ) 0, do not give us the extreme values. The values of x
for whichf x
′ =
( ) 0 are called stationary values or critical values of x and
the corresponding values off x
( ) are called stationary or turning values of
f x
( ).

Geometrical Interpretation of Indefinite Integral
If
d
dx
x f x
{ ( )} ( ),
φ = then
f x dx x C
( ) ( )
∫ = φ + . For different
values of C, we get different
functions, differing only by a
constant. The graphs of these
functions give us an infinite family
of curves such that at the points on
these curves with the same
x-coordinate, the tangents are
parallel as they have the same
slope φ′ =
( ) ( )
x f x .
Consider the integral of

i.e.

(iii) Integral of a function is always discussed in an interval but
derivative of a function can be discussed in a interval as well as
at a point.
(iv) Geometrically derivative of a function represents slope of the
tangent to the graph of function at the point. On the other hand,
integral of a function represents an infinite family of curves
placed parallel to each other having parallel tangents at points
of intersection of the curves with a line parallel to Y -axis.
Method of Integration
Some integrals are not in standard form, to reduce them into standard
forms, we use the following methods
1. Integration by Substitution
For integral f g x g x dx
∫ ′ ′
{ ( )} ( ) , we create a new variable t g x
= ( ), so
that g x
dt
dx
′ =
( ) or g x dx dt
′ =
( ) .
Hence, f g x g x dx f t dt f t C f g x C

(i) We use the following preferential order for taking the first
function.
Inverse → Logarithm → Algebraic → Trigonometric →
Exponential. In short, we write it ILATE.
(ii) If one of the function is not directly integrable, then we take it as
the first function.
(iii) If only one function is there, e.g. log
∫ x dx or sin−
∫
1
x dx etc.
then 1 (unity) can be taken as second function.
(iv) If both the functions are directly integrable, then the first
function is chosen in such a way that its derivative vanishes
easily or the function obtained in integral sign is easily
integrable.
Note
(i) Integration by parts is not applicable to product of functions in all cases
e.g. x x dx
sin
∫
(ii) Normally, if any function is a polynomial in x, then we take it as the first
function.

( )
( )
defines a rational
algebraic function of x. If degree of f x
( )< degree of g x
( ), then
f x
g x
( )
( )
is called a proper rational function.
(ii) If degree of f x
( )≥ degree of g x
( ), then
f x
g x
( )
( )
is called an improper
rational function.

(iii) If
f x
g x
( )
( )
is an improper rational function, then we divide f x
( ) by
g x
( ) and convert it into a proper rational function as
f x

g x
( )
( )
( )
( )
( )
= φ + .
(iv) Any proper rational function
f x
g x
( )
( )
can be expressed as the sum of
rational functions each having a simple factor of g x
( ). Each such
fraction is called a partial fraction and the process of obtaining
them, is called the resolution or decomposition of
f x
g x
( )
( )
into
partial fraction.

Curve Sketching
1. Symmetry
(i) If powers of y in an equation of curve are all even, then curve
is symmetrical about X-axis.
(ii) If powers of x in an equation of curve are all even, then curve
is symmetrical about Y -axis.
(iii) When x is replaced by –x and y is replaced by –y, then curve is
symmetrical in opposite quadrant.
(iv) If x and y are interchanged and equation of curve remains
unchanged, then curve is symmetrical about line y x
= .
2. Nature of Origin
(i) If point (0, 0) satisfies the equation, then curve passes
through origin.
(ii) If curve passes through origin, then equate lowest degree
term to zero and get equation of tangent. If there are two
tangents, then origin is a double point.
3. Point of Intersection with Axes
(i) Put y = 0 and get intersection with X-axis, put x = 0 and get
intersection with Y -axis.
(ii) Now, find equation of tangent at this point i.e. shift origin to
the point of intersection and equate the lowest degree term to
zero.
(iii) Find regions where curve does not exists i.e. curve will not
exit for those values of variable when makes the other
imaginary or not defined.
4. Asymptotes
(i) Equate coefficient of highest power of x to get asymptote
parallel to X-axis.
(ii) Similarly equate coefficient of highest power of y to get
asymptote parallel to Y -axis.
5. The Sign of
dy
dx
Find points at which
dy
dx
vanishes or becomes infinite. It gives us the
points where tangent is parallel or perpendicular to the X-axis.

Order and Degree of a Differential Equation
The order of a differential equation is the order of the highest
derivative occuring in the equation. The order of a differential equation
is always a positive integer.
The degree of a differential equation is the exponent of the derivative
of the highest order in the equation, when the equation is a polynomial
in derivatives, i.e. in y y y

Linear and Non-Linear Differential Equations
A differential equation is said to be linear, if the dependent variable
and all of its derivatives occuring in the first power and there are no
product of these.
A linear equation of nth order can be written in the form

differential equation of the first degree need not be linear.

Solution of Differential Equations
A solution of a differential equation is a relation between the variables,
of the equation not involving the differential coefficients, such that it
satisfy the given differential equation (i.e., from which the given
differential equation can be derived).
e.g. y A x B x
= +
cos sin is a solution of
d y
dx
y
2
2
0
+ = , because it satisfy
this equation.
1. General Solution
If the solution of the differential equation contains as many
independent arbitrary constants as the order of the differential
equation, then it is called the general solution or the complete integral
of the differential equation.
e.g. The general solution of
d y
dx
y
2
2
0
+ = is y A x B x
= +
cos sin because
it contains two arbitrary constants A and B, which is equal to the order
of the equation.

2. Particular Solution
Solution obtained by giving particular values to the arbitrary constants
in the general solution is called a particular solution. e.g. In the
previous example, if A B
= = 1, then y x x
= +
cos sin is a particular
solution of the differential equation

Solution of a differential equation is also called its primitive.
Formation of Differential Equation
Suppose we have an equation f x y c c cn
( , , , ,...., )
1 2 0
= , where c c cn
1 2
, ,...
are n arbitrary constants.
Then, to form a differential equation differentiate the equation
successively n times to get n equations.
Eliminate the arbitrary constants from the ( )
n + 1 equations (the given
equation and the n equations obtained above), which leads to the
required differential equations.
Solutions of Differential Equations of the
First Order and First Degree
A differential equation of first degree and first order can be solved if
they belong to any of the following standard forms.
1. Equation of the form
f f x y d f x y
( ( , )) ( ( , ))
1 1 + + =
φ( ( , )) ( ( , )) ...
f x y d f x y
2 2 0
If the differential equation can be written as f f x y d f x y
[ ( , )] { ( , )}
1 1 + φ
[ ( , )] { ( , )} ...
f x y d f x y
2 2 0

separately.
For this, remember the following results

Vectors
A vector has direction and magnitude both but scalar has only
magnitude. e.g. Vector quantities are displacement, velocity,
acceleration, etc. and scalar quantities are length, mass, time, etc.
Characteristics of a Vector
(i) Magnitude The length of the vector AB or a is called the
magnitude of AB or a and it is represented as AB or a .
(ii) Sense The direction of a line segment from its initial point to
its terminal point is called its sense.
e.g. The sense of AB is from Ato Band that of BA is from Bto A.
(iii) Support The line of infinite length of which the line segment
AB is a part, is called the support of the vector AB.
Types of Vectors
(i) Zero or Null Vector A vector whose initial and terminal
points are coincident is called zero or null vector. It is denoted
by 0.
(ii) Unit Vector A vector whose magnitude is unity i.e., 1 unit is
called a unit vector. The unit vector in the direction of n is given
by
n
n
| |
and it is denoted by $
n.
(iii) Free Vector If the initial point of a vector is not specified, then
it is said to be a free vector.
(iv) Like and Unlike Vectors Vectors are said to be like when
they have the same direction and unlike when they have
opposite direction.
(v) Collinear or Parallel Vectors Vectors having the same or
parallel supports are called collinear vectors.

of a given vectora and the direction opposite to that of a is called
the negative vector a and it is denoted by − a.
(viii) Coinitial Vectors Vectors having same initial point are
called coinitial vectors.
(ix) Coterminus Vectors Vectors having the same terminal point
are called coterminus vectors.
(x) Localised Vectors A vector which is drawn parallel to a given
vector through a specified point in space is called localised
vector.
(xi) Coplanar Vectors A system of vectors is said to be coplanar,
if their supports are parallel to the same plane. Otherwise they
are called non-coplanar vectors.
(xii) Reciprocal of a Vector A vector having the same direction as
that of a given vector but magnitude equal to the reciprocal of
the given vector is known as the reciprocal of a and it is denoted

Line in Space
A line (or straight line) is a curve such that all the points on the
line segment joining any two points of it lies on it.
A line can be determined uniquely, if
(i) its direction and the coordinates of a point on it are known.
(ii) it passes through two given points.

Skew Lines
Two straight lines in space are said to be skew lines, if they are neither
parallel nor intersecting. Thus, skew-lines are such pair of lines which
are non-coplanar.
Shortest Distance
If l1 and l2 are two skew lines, then a line perpendicular to each of
lines l1 and l2 is known as the line of shortest distance.
If the line of shortest distance intersects the lines l1 and
l2 at P and Q respectively, then the distance PQ between
points P and Q is known as the shortest distance
between l1 and l2.

Plane
A plane is a surface such that, if two points are taken on it, a straight
line joining them lies wholly on the surface. A straight line, which is
perpendicular to every line lying on a plane is called a normal to the
plane.
General Equation of the Plane
The general equation of the first degree in x y z
, , always represents a
plane. Hence, the general equation of the plane is ax by cz d
+ + + = 0.
The coefficient of x, y and z in the cartesian equation of a plane are the
direction ratios of normal to the plane.

both sphere and plane is called a plane section of a sphere.

Hence, the locus of P is a circle whose centre is at
the point N, the foot of the perpendicular from the
centre of the sphere to the plane.
The section of sphere by a plane through its centre
is called a great circle. The centre and radius of a
great circle are the same as those of the sphere.

Statistics
Statistics is the Science of collection, organisation, presentation,
analysis and interpretation of the numerical data.
Useful Terms
1. Primary and Secondary Data The data collected by the
investigator himself is known as the primary data, while the
data which are not originally collected but rather obtained from
some sources is known as secondary data.
2. Variable or Variate A characteristics that varies in
magnitude from observation to observation. e.g. weight, height,
income, age, etc are variables.
3. Grouped and Ungrouped Data The data which is organised
into several groups is called grouped data where as ungrouped
data is present in original form, i.e. it is just a list of numbers.
4. Class-Intervals The groups which used to condense the data
are called classes or class-intervals.
5. Limit of the Class The starting and ending values of each
class are called Lower and Upper limits, respectively.
6. Class Size or Class Width The difference between upper and
lower boundary of a class is called size of the class.
7. Class Marks The class marks of a class is given by
Lower limit Upper limit
+
2
.
8. Frequency The number of times an observation occurs in the
given data, is called the frequency of the observation.
9. Frequency Distribution It is a tabular summary of data
showing the frequency of observations.
10. Discrete Frequency Distribution A frequency distribution
is called a discrete frequency distribution, if data are presented
in such a way that exact value of the data are clearly shown.
Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
11. Continuous Frequency Distribution A frequency
distribution in which data are arranged in classes (or groups)
which are not exactly measurable.
12. Cumulative Frequency Distribution In this type of
distribution, the frequencies of each class intervals are added
successively from top to bottom or from bottom to top.
A cumulative frequency distribution is of two types
(i) Less than cummulative frequency distribution In
this frequencies are added successively from top to bottom
and we represent the cumulative number of observation less
than or equal to the class frequency to which it relates.
(ii) More than cummulative frequency distribution In
this frequencies are added successively from bottom to top
and we represent the cummulative number of observation
greater than or equal to the class frequency to which it
relates.
Graphical Representation of
Frequency Distributions
(i) Bar Diagrams In bar diagrams, only the length of the bars
are taken into consideration. To draw a bar diagram, we first
mark equal lengths for the different classes on the horizontal
axis, i.e. on X-axis.
On each of these lengths on the horizontal axis, we erect
(vertical) a rectangle whose heights are proportional to the
frequency of the class.
(ii) Histogram To draw the histogram of a given continuous
frequency distribution, we first mark off all the class intervals
along X-axis on a suitable scale. On each of these class intervals

on the horizontal axis, we erect (vertical) a rectangle whose
height is proportional to the frequency of that particular class,
so that the area of the rectangle is proportional to the frequency
of the class.
If however the classes are of unequal width, then the height of
the rectangles will be proportional to the ratio of the frequencies
to the width of the classes.
(iii) Pie Diagrams Pie diagrams are used to represent a relative
frequency distribution. A pie diagram consists of a circle divided
into as many sectors as there are classes in a frequency
distribution. The area of each sector is proportional to the
relative frequency of the class.
Now, we make angles at the centre proportional to the relative
frequencies. And in order to get the angles of the desired sectors,
we divide 360° in the proportion of the various relative
frequencies, i.e.
Central angle =

The above pie diagram represent an illustration of types of
vehicles and their share in the total number of vehicles of a city.
(iv) Frequency Polygon To draw the frequency polygon of an
ungrouped frequency distribution, we plot the points with
abscissae as the variate values and the ordinate as the

corresponding frequencies. These plotted points are joined by
straight lines to obtain the frequency polygon.
(v) Cumulative Frequency Curve (Ogive) The curve given by
the graphical representation of cummulative frequency
distribution is called on ogive or commulative frequency curve.
There are two methods of constructing an ogive, (i) ‘less than’
type ogive (ii) ‘more than’ type ogive.
Measures of Central Tendency
A single value which describes the characteristic of the entire data is
known as the average. Generally, average value of a distribution lies in
the middle part of the distribution, such type of values are known as
measures of central tendency.
The following are the five measures of central tendency
1. Arithmetic Mean 2. Geometric Mean 3. Harmonic Mean
4. Median 5. Mode

4. Median
The median of a distribution is the value of the middle observation,
when the observations are arranged in ascending or descending order.
(i) Median for Simple Distribution or Raw Data
Firstly, arrange the data in ascending or descending order and then
find the number of observations n.
(a) If n is odd, then
n +

(ii) Find the cumulative frequency which is equal to or just greater
than
N

.
(iii) Take the value of variable corresponding to cummulative
frequency obtained in step (ii).
(iv) This value of the variable is the required median.
(iii) Median for Classified (Grouped) Data
or Grouped Frequency Distribution
If in a continuous distribution, the total frequency be N, then the class
whose cumulative frequency is either equal to N/2 or is just greater
than N/2 is called median class.
For a continuous distribution, median

before the quartile class
h = the length of the quartile class.
5. Mode
The mode ( )
MO of a distribution is the value at the point about which
the observations tend to be most heavily concentrated. It is generally
the value of the variable which appears to occur most frequently in the
distribution.
(i) Mode for a Simple Data or Raw Data
The value which is repeated maximum number of times, is the
required mode.
e.g. Mode of the data 70, 80, 90, 96, 70, 96, 96, 90 is 96 as 96 occurs
maximum number of times.
(ii) Mode for Unclassified (Ungrouped) Frequency
Distribution
Mode is the value of the variate corresponding to the maximum
frequency.

(iii) Mode for Classified (Grouped) Distribution or
Grouped Frequency Distribution
The class having the maximum frequency is called the modal class
and the middle point of the modal class is called the crude mode.
The class just before the modal class is called pre-modal class and the
class after the modal class is called the post-modal class.
Mode for classified data (Continuous Distribution) is given by

where, l = lower limit of the modal class
f0 = frequency of the modal class
f1 = frequency of the pre-modal class
f2 = frequency of the post-modal class
h = length of the class interval
Relation between Mean, Median and Mode
(i) Mean − Mode = 3 (Mean − Median)
(ii) Mode = 3 Median − 2 Mean
Symmetric and Anti-symmetric Distribution
A distribution is symmetric, if the
frequencies are symmetrically distributed
on both sides of the centre point of the
frequency curve. In this, frequency curve is
bell shaped.
In symmetrical distribution,
Mean = Median = Mode, i.e. A M M
d O
= =
A distribution which is not symmetric is called anti-symmetric
(or skew-symmetric).
Measure of Dispersion
The degree to which numerical data tend to spread about an average
value is called the dispersion of the data. The four measure of
dispersion are
1. Range 2. Mean deviation
3. Standard deviation 4. Root mean square deviation

2. Mean Deviation (MD)
The arithmetic mean of the absolute deviations of the values of the
variable from a measure of their average (mean, median, mode) is
called Mean Deviation (MD). It is denoted by δ.

Limitations of Mean Deviation
(i) If the data is more scattered or the degree of variability is very
high, then the median is not a valid representative.
(ii) The sum of the deviations from the mean is more than the sum of
the deviations from the median.
(iii) The mean deviation is calculated on the basis of absolute values
of the deviations and so cannot be subjected to further algebraic
treatment.
3. Standard Deviation and Variance
Standard deviation is the square root of the arithmetic mean of the
squares of deviations of the terms from their AM and it is denoted by σ.
The square of standard deviation is called the variance and it is
denoted by the symbol σ2

Correlation
The tendency of simultaneous variation between two variables is called
correlation (or covariation). It denotes the degree of inter-dependence
between variables.
Types of Correlation
1. Perfect Correlation
If the two variables vary in such a manner that their ratio is always
constant, then the correlation is said to be perfect.
2. Positive or Direct Correlation
If an increase or decrease in one variable corresponds to an increase or
decrease in the other, then the correlation is said to be positive.
3. Negative or Indirect Correlation
If an increase or decrease in one variable corresponds to a decrease or
increase in the other, then correlation is said to be negative.

Regression
Regression helps to estimate or predict the unknown value of one
variable from the known values of the other related variables.
Lines of Regression
A line of regression is the straight line which gives the best fit in the
least square sense to the given sets of data.
Regression coefficient of y on x and x on y
The regression coefficient shows that with a unit change in the value of
x (or y) variable, what will be the average change in the value of y (or

Mathematical
Reasoning
In mathematical language, there are two kinds of reasoning—inductive
and deductive. Here, we will discuss some fundamentals of deductive
reasoning.
Statement (Proposition)
A statement is an assertive sentence which is either true or false but
not both. Statements are denoted by the small letters i.e. p q r
, , ... etc.
e.g. p : A triangle has four sides.
Note
(i) A true statement is known as a valid statement and a false statement
is known as an invalid statement.
(ii) Imperative, exclamatory, interrogative, optative sentences are not
statements.
1. Simple Statement
A statement which cannot be broken into two or more statements is
called a simple statement.
e.g. p : 2 is a real number.
2. Open Statement
A sentence which contains one or more variable such that when certain
values are given to the variable it becomes a statement, is called an
open statement.
e.g. p : ‘He is a great man’ is an open statement because in this
statement, he can be replaced by any person.

3. Compound Statement
If two or more simple statements are combined by the use of words
such as ‘and’, ‘or’, ‘if... then, ‘if and only if ’, then the resulting
statement is called a compound statement.
e.g. Roses are red and sky is blue.
Note Individual statements of a compound statement are called component
statements.
Elementary Logical Connectives or
Logical Operators
(i) Negation A statement which is formed by changing the truth
value of a given statement by using the word like ‘no’, ‘not' is
called negation of given statement. If p is a statement, then
negation of p is denoted by ~ .
p
(ii) Conjunction A compound statement formed by two simple
statements p and q using connective ‘and’ is called the
conjunction of p and q and it is represented by p q
∧ .
(iii) Disjunction A compound statement formed by two simple
statements p and q using connectives ‘or’ is called the
disjunction of p and q and it is represented by p q
∨ .
(iv) Conditional Statement (Implication) Two simple
statements p and q connected by the phrase, ifL then, is called
conditional statement of p q
L and it is denoted by p q
⇒ .
(v) Biconditional Statement (Bi-implication) The two simple
statements p and q connected by the phrase, ‘if and only if’ is
called biconditional statement. It is denoted by p ⇔ q.
Truth Value and Truth Table
A statement can be either ‘true’ or ‘false’ which is called truth value of
a statement and it is represented by the symbols T and F, respectively.
A truth table is a summary of truth values of the compound
statement for all possible truth values of its component statements.
Logical Equivalent Statements
Two compound statements say, S p q r
1 ( , , ) and S p q r
2( , , ,....), are said to
be logically equivalent if they have the same truth values for all
logically possibilities. If statements S1 and S2 are logically equivalent,
then we write
S p q r S p q r

( , , ...) ( , , ,...)

This is known as universal quantifier.
(ii) The symbol ‘∃’ stands for ‘there exists’.
This is known as existential quantifier.

(true) or not. This depends upon which of the connectives and
quantifiers used in the statement.

Linear Programming
Problem (LPP)
Linear programming problem is one that is concerned with finding the
maximum or minimum value of a linear function of several variables,
subject to conditions that the variables are non-negative and satisfy a
set of linear inequalities.
Note: Variables are sometimes called decision variables.
Objective Function
The linear function which is to be optimised (maximised/minimised) is
called an objective function.
Constraints
The system of linear inequations under which the objective function is
to be optimised is called constraints.
Non-negative Restrictions
All the variables considered for making decisions assume non-negative
values.
Optimal Value
The maximum or minimum value of an objective function is known as
the optimal value of LPP.

Some Basic Definitions
(i) Feasible Region The common region determined by all the
constraints including non-negative constraints is called the
feasible region (or solution region)
(ii) Feasible Solution of a LPP A set of values of the variables
x x
1 2
, ,..., xn satisfying the constraints and non-negative
restrictions of a LPP is called a feasible solution of the LPP.
or Points within and on the boundary of the feasible region
represent feasible solutions of the constraints.
(iii) Optimal Solution of a LPP A feasible solution of a LPP is
said to be optimal (or optimum), if it also optimises the objective
function of the problem.
(iv) Extreme Point Theorem An optimum solution of a LPP, if it
exists, occurs at one of the extreme points (i.e. corner points) of
the feasible region.
Note If two corner points of the feasible region are optimal solutions of same
type, then any point on the line segment joining these two points is also an
optimal solution of the same type.
Solution of Simultaneous Linear Inequations
The solution set of a system of simultaneous linear inequations is the
region containing the points ( , )
x y which satisfy all the inequations of
the given system simultaneously.
To draw the graph of the simultaneous linear inequations, we find the
region of the xy-plane, common to all the portions comprising the
solution sets of the given inequations. If there is no region common to
all the solutions of the given inequations, we say that the solution set
of the system of inequations is empty.
Note The solution set of simultaneous linear inequations may be an empty set
or it may be the region bounded by the straight lines corresponding to given
linear inequations or it may be an unbounded region with straight line
boundaries.

Working Rule to Draw the Graph of an Inequation
(i) Consider the constraint ax by c
+ ≤ , where a b
2 2
0
+ ≠ and c > 0.
Firstly, draw the straight line ax by c
+ = . For this find two
convenient points satisyfying this equation and then join them.
This straight line divides the xy-plane in two parts. The
inequation ax by c
+ ≤ will represent that part of the xy-plane in
which the origin lies.
(ii) Again, consider the constraint ax by
+ ≥ c, where a b
2 2
0
+ ≠
and c > 0.
Draw the straight line ax + by = c by joining any two points on it.
This straight line divides the xy-plane in two parts. The
inequation ax by c
+ ≥ will represent that part of the xy-plane,
in which the origin does not lie.
Graphical Method of Solving a Linear
Programming Problem
This method of solving a LPP is based on the principle of extreme point
theorem, referred as corner point method.
The method comprises of the following steps
(i) Consider each constraints as an equation.
(ii) Plot the graph of each equation each of these will geometrically
represent a straight line.
(iii) Find the feasible region.
(iv) Determine the vertices (corner points) of the feasible region.
(v) Find the values of the objective function at each of the extreme
points.
(vi) (a) If region is bounded, then maximum (say M) or minimum
(say m) value out of these values obtained in point (v), is the
required maximum or minimum value of the objective
function.
(b) If region is unbounded, then maximum (say M) or minimum
(say m) value out of these values obtained in point (v) may
or may not be required maximum or minimum value of the
objective function. In this case, we go to next point.
Linear Programming Problem (LPP) 345
Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
(vii) Suppose the given objective function is ax by
+ , then for
maximum value draw the graph of inequality ax by
+ > M and
for minimum value draw the graph of ax by
+ < m. If open half
plane obtained by these inequalities has no point in common
with the feasible region obtained in point (iv), then M or m is the
required maximum or minimum value. Otherwise, objective
function has no maximum or no minimum value.
Different Types of Linear Programming Problems
(i) Diet Problems In these types of problem, we have to find the
amount of different kinds of constituents/ nutrients which
should be included in a diet, so as to minimise the cost of the
desired diet.
(ii) Manufacturing Problems In these types of problem, we
have to find the number of units of different product which
should be produced and sold by a firm when each product
requires a fixed manpower, machine hours, etc in order to make
maximum profit.
(iii) Transportation Problems In these types of problem, we
have to determine a transportation schedule in order to find the
minimum cost of transporting a product from plants/factories
situated at different locations to different markets.

(iii) Cross-multiplication Method If we have two fractions
a
b
and
c
d

(larger/smaller depending upon ascending/descending
order).
Step III Repeat Step II until the last term.

Surds
Irrational root of a rational number is called a surd.
If n is a positive integer and a is a positive rational number, which
cannot be expressed as the nth power of some rational number, then
the irrational number, a
n
or a n
1/
that is the positive nth root of a, is
called surd or a radical. The symbol n is called the radical sign, n
is called the order of the surd (or radical) and a is called the
radicand. Hence, 2
3
is not a surd as 2 is not a rational number.
However, 7 is a surd as 7 is a rational number and square root of 7 is
not a rational number.
64 is not a surd as though 64 is a rational number but 64 8
= , which
is not an irrational number.
∴ 12
6
is a surd of order 6.
Properties of Surds
1. Every surd is a real number. However, every real number is not
a surd.
2. A surd of order 2 is called a quadratic surd or square root. Hence,
7 25
4
7
, , are quadratic surds.
3. A surd of order 3 is called a cubic surd or cubic root. Hence,
2 3 5 2 5
3 3 3
, , / are cubic surds.
4. A surd of order 4 is called a biquadratic surd.
Hence, 5 2 7 4
7
5
4 4 4
, , are biquadratic surds.
5. A surd containing only one term is called a monomial surd.
Hence, − 2 5 3 7
3 4
, are monomial surds.
6. If a
n

a a

7. If a

11. A surd which has a rational factor other than unity, the other
factor being irrational is called a mixed surd.
Thus, 2 3 7 2
2
3
7
3 4
, , are mixed surds.
12. A surd which has unity as its rational factor, the other factor
being rational, is called a pure surd.
Thus, 10 4 7
3 5
, , are pure surds.
13. Two surds of same order can be compared by just comparing
their radicands. If a
n
and b
n
are surds, then a b
n n
> , if a b
>
and a b
n n
< , if a b
< .
14. If two surds are not of same order, then to compare them they
must first be reduced to same order.
Let a b
n m
and are surds such that m n
≠ .
Let LCM of m and n be p. Then, to compare them both must be
reduced to pth order.
15. Surds having same irrational factor are called similar or like
surds.
Thus, 3 2
4
3
2 2 2
1
3
2
, , ,
− − are similar surds (each has same
irrational factor of 2).
16. Only like surds can be added or subtracted. If x a
n
and y a
n
are
surds, then x a y a x y a
n n n
+ = +
( )
and x a y a x y a
n n n
− = −
( ) .
17. Product of a surd with a rational number is again a surd.
18. If p and q are rational numbers and a
n
is a surd, then
p q a pq a
n n
× =
( ) .
19. Surds of same order can be multiplied as follows
a b a b
n n n
× = × (radicands get multiplied and order remains
same).
Also, p a q b p q a b
n n n
× = × × (rational factor of first gets
multiplied by rational factor of second. Radicand of first gets
multiplied by radicand of second. Order remains same).
20. If a
n
is a surd in simplest form, then its simplest rationalising
factor is an
n −1
.
Elementary Arithmetic-I 359

21. If ap
n
is a surd in simplest form, then its simplest rationalising
factor is an p
n −
.
22. If a b
p q
n
is a surd in simplest form, then its simplest
rationalising factor is a b
n p n q
n − −
.
23. A surd containing only two distinct terms is called a binomial
surd. Hence, 2 3 2 3 3 2 7 3
+ + +
, , are binomial surds.
24. Two binomial surds are said to be conjugates of each other, if
they differ only in sign (+ or –) connecting them.
Thus, 2 2 3 3 2 2 3 3
+ −
and are conjugates of each other.
25. Rationalising factor of a binomial surd is its conjugate.
e.g. Rationalising factor of a b c d
+ is a b c d
− .
26. Surds containing three distinct terms is called a trinomial
surd. Hence, 7 2 3 3 7 2 3
+ + − +
, are trinomial surds.

HCF and LCM
Factor and Multiple
Factor A number which can divide a given number exactly, is called
a factor of that number.
Multiple A number which is divisible by a given number, is called
multiple of that number.
HCF (Highest Common Factor)
HCF of two or more numbers is the greatest number, which divides all
the given numbers exactly.
1. Prime Factorization Method
Break the given numbers into their prime factor, the product of the
prime factors, common to all numbers gives the HCF.
2. Division Method
Step I Divide the larger number by smaller number.
Step II Take remainder (as obtained in Step I) as divisor and the
last divisor as the dividend.
Step III Repeat Step II until 0 is obtained as remainder. The last
divisor will be the required HCF.

When the ratio of two quantities is same as the ratio of two other
quantities, then these quantities are said to be in proportion. i.e.
If a b c d
: :
= , then a, b, c and d are in proportions, where a and d are
called extremes and b and c are called means. And a b c d
: :
= is
denoted by a b c d
: :: : or ad bc

Time and Work
Each person has different capabilities to do any work. If a person has
lot of capability to do a work, then he takes less time to do that work
and if a person has less capability to do a work, then he takes more
time to do that work.
∴ A person take a time to do any work
∝
1
Capability of person to do that work
Important Points Related to Work are
(i) Work is considered as whole or 1.
(ii) Time and work are always indirectly proportional.
(iii) Men and work are directly proportional to each other.
(iv) Men and time are inversely proportional to each other.
(v) Ratio between the wages is equally divided between the work
done in a day by men.
(vi) It is assumed that the person works at uniform rate until and
unless specified.
(vii) Unit of time is either days or hours.
Fundamental Formula
If M1 person can do W1 works in D1 days and M2 persons can do W2
work in D2 days, when M1 works T1 hour with efficiency of E M

Clock
Clocks consists of two arms, longer arm which shows minute is called
minute hand and shorter arm which shows hour is called hour hand.
Dial
Dial of a clock is a circle, whose circumference is divided into 12 equal
parts called ‘hour space’. Each hour space is further divided into
5 parts, called ‘minute space’.
Some Important Results
(i) The minute hand is 12 times faster than hour hand.
(ii) In an hour, the minute hand covers 60 min spaces, while hour
hand covers 5 min spaces. So, in an hour, the minute hand gains

(ii) Every 4th century is a leap year. A centurial year is a leap year,
if it is divisible by 400.
(iii) An ordinary year have only one odd day.
(iv) A leap year have only two odd days.
(v) 100 yr = 76 ordinary years + 24 leap years
(vi) 100 yr i.e. 1 century contains

Profit, Loss and Discount
Some Basic Terms
(i) Cost Price (CP) The price paid by a customer or shopkeeper
to purchase an article.
(ii) Selling Price (SP) The price at which a shopkeeper sells an
article.
(iii) Overhead Charges Money spent on the article for
transporting, handling, installation after purchasing it.
(iv) Marked Price (MP) The printed or original price of an
article.
(v) Discount Amount deducted from the marked price.
(vi) Net Price Amount paid by the customers to purchase an
article after deducing the discount.
(vii) Gross Profit The total profit without deducing tax.
(viii) Net Profit Profit after deducing tax.
Important Points to be Remembered
(i) The gain (profit) or loss per cent is calculated on cost price.
(ii) Overhead charges should be included in the cost price.
(iii) Discount is always calculated on Marked Price (MP).
(iv) Discount series x %, y %and z %,…, x z y
%, %, %,Kor z x y
%, %, %,K
any combination will give the same Selling Price (SP).

Simple Interest
Some Basic Terms
(i) Interest ( )
I Interest is the amount of money which is paid by
the borrower to the lender for the use of the money lent.
(ii) Principal ( )
P The money borrowed by the borrower from the
lender.
(iii) Rate of Interest (R) The money paid by the borrower to the
lender for 1 yr use of ` 100 is called rate of interest per annum.
(iv) Time ( )
T The duration for which the money is borrowed by the
borrower.
(v) Amount (A) Principal together with the amount of interest is
called amount.
(vi) Simple Interest (SI) If the interest is calculated on the
original sum (principal) for any period of time, is called simple
interest.

Compound Interest
Money is said to be lent at Compound Interest (CI), if the
interest at the end of year or a fixed period of time is not paid by the
borrower to the lender, it is added to the principal and thus the
amount obtained becomes the new principal for the next period and
so on.
Important Points to be Remembered
(i) For 1 yr, compound interest is equal to the simple interest.
(ii) Compound interest for more than one year is always greater than the
simple interest.
(iii) The amount of the previous year becomesthe principalfor the successive
year.
(iv) The difference between two consecutive amounts is the interest on the
preceeding amount.

P The price of an article/quantity at
beginning of the period is called original value.
(v) Final Value (A) Price of an article/quantity at the end of the
period is called final value.
Important Points to be Remembered

Partnership
Partnership is an association of two or more persons who put their
money together to carry out on a certain business. These persons are
called partners.
(i) Active or Working Partners Partners who actively
participate in managing the process of the business.
(ii) Sleeping Partners Partners who only invest their money in
the business and do not actively participate in it.
Types of Partnership
1. Simple Partnership If partners of the business invest their
money/capital in the business for same duration of time, the
partnership is called simple partnership.
In this case, the profit/loss is divided in the ratio of their

(i) If two partners P and Q invest their money in a business,
then investment of P : investment of Q = profit/loss of P :
profit/loss of Q.
(ii) If there are three partners P Q R
, and to invest, then
Investment of P : Investment of Q : Investment of R
= Profit/loss of P : Profit/loss of Q : Profit/loss of R.
2. Compound Partnership If the partners of the business invest
their money for different duration of time, then it is called
compound partnership.
In this case, the profit/loss is divided in the ratio of their
equivalent investment for a unit of time.
Equivalent investment = Investment × Number of Units of time

Share and Debenture
Some Basic Terms
(i) Capital Total amount of money required to start or expand a
company.
(ii) Share Capital is divided into smaller units, which are called
share.
(iii) Face Value/Nominal Value (FV) The original value issued
by a company for a share.
or It is the printed value of the share.
(iv) Market Value (MV) The value at which a share is available
in the share market, depending on market value. Three types of
shares are available.
(a) Share at Par If MV = FV, the share is said to be at par.
(b) Share at Premium If FV < MV, then the share is said to be
‘above par’ or ‘at premium’.
(c) Share at Discount If FV > MV, then the share is said to be
‘below par’ or ‘at discount’.
(v) Stock Total face value of the shares held by a shareholder.
Stock = FV × Number of shares
(vi) Investment Total amount of money paid by a shareholder to
the shares.
Investment = MV × Number of shares
(vii) Proceeds If a shareholder sells his shares, then total amount
of money, obtained after selling the shares, is called proceeds.
Proceeds = MV × Number of shares

(x) Debenture Company can obtain loans from public at fixed
percentage of interest; the small unit of the loan granted by the
public is called debenture.
(xi) Broker Shares, stocks and debentures are sold or purchased
through a person, called broker.
(xii) Brokerage Amount paid to the broker for selling or
purchasing of shares is called brokerage.
Important Points to be Remembered
(i) Dividend on share is calculated on its face value.
(ii) Interest on debenture is calculated on face value of debenture.
(iii) Same rules and formulae used for shares can be applied to debenture.
(iv) Brokerage is calculated on market value of share or debentures.

Fundamental Operations on Polynomial
(i) Addition of Polynomials To calculate the addition of two
or more polynomials, we collect different groups of like powers
together and add the coefficients of like terms.
(ii) Subtraction of Polynomials To find the subtraction of two

together and subtract the coefficient of like terms.
(iii) Multiplication of Polynomials Two polynomials can be
multiplied by applying distributive law and simplifying the like
terms.

Synthetic Division Method (Horner’s Method)
This method is to find the quotient and the remainder when a
polynomial is divided by a binomial.
Rule for Synthetic Division
1. First complete the given polynomial f x
( ) by adding the missing
term with zero coefficients.
2. Write the successive coefficients a a a an
0 1 2
, , ,..., of the
polynomial f x
( ).
3. If we want to divide the polynomial by x h
− , then write h in the
left corner.
4. In third row write b0 below a0, where b a
0 0
= and then multiply b0
by h to get the product hb0.
5. Adding hb0 to a1, we get b1. Similarly by adding hb1 to a2, we get
b2 and so on
h a0 a1 a2 ……… an
+ +
hb hb
0 1 ………
b0 b1 b2 ………
6. Repeat this till you get last term which is remainder R.
If R = 0, then h is the root of the polynomial f x
( ) = 0 and the
equation can be reduced by one dimension.

Logarithms
If a is a positive real number other than 1 and a m
x
= , then x is called
the logarithm of m to the base a, written as loga m. In log ,
a m m
should be always positive.
(i) If m < 0, then loga m will be imaginary and if m = 0, then
loga m will be meaningless.
(ii) loga m exists only, if m a
, > 0 and a ≠ 1.
Types of Logarithms
1. Natural (or Napier) Logarithms The logarithm with base ‘ ’
e
( . )
e = 2 718 is called natural logarithms.
e.g. log , log
e e
x 25 etc.
Note The another way of loge x can be represented as ln.
2. Common (or Brigg’s) Logarithms The logarithm with base 10 is
called common logarithm.
e.g. log , log
10 10 75
x etc.
Note In a logarithmic expression when the base is not mentioned,
it is taken as 10.
Characteristic and Mantissa of a Logarithm
The logarithm of positive real number n consists of two parts.
(i) The integral part is known as the characteristic. It is always
an integer positive, negative or zero.
(ii) The decimal part is called as the mantissa. The mantissa is
never negative and is always less than one.
Method to Find the Characteristic
Case I When number is greater than 1.
The characteristic is one less than the number of digits in
the left of decimal point in the given number.

Number ( )

Number of digits in
the integral part of x
: 1 2 3
Characteristic of log x : 1 1 0
− = 2 1 1
− = 3 1 2
− =
Case II When number is less than 1.
The characteristic of the logarithm of a positive number less
than 1 is negative and is numerically greater by 1 than the
number of zeroes between the decimal sign and the first
significant figure of the number.
e.g.
Number ( )
x : 0.7684 0.06712 0.00031
Number of zeroes
after the decimal point

4 4
Note In place of −1or −2 etc., we use 1 (one bar) and 2 (two bar) etc.
Properties of Logarithms
(i) A negative number can never be expressed as the power of 10,
mantissa should always be kept positive. Hence, whenever
characteristic is negative, minus sign is placed above the
characteristic and not to its left to show that the mantissa is
always positive.
(ii) Mantissa of the logarithm of all the numbers having same digits
in the same order will be the same, irrespective of the position of
the decimal point.
Anti logarithm
The positive number a is called the anti logarithm of a number b, if a is
anti logarithm of b, then we write a = antilog b.
So, a = antilog b ⇔ log a b
= .

Point
A fine dot on paper or a location on plane is called point. Point has no
length, breadth or thickness.
Line
A line is defined as a line of points that extends infinitely in both
directions.
Line Segment
A line segment is a part of line that is bounded by two distinct end
points and contains every point on the line between its end points.
Ray
If a line segment is extended to unlimited length on one of the end
points, then it is called a ray.
Important Points to be Remembered
(i) A line contains infinite points.
(ii) Infinite lines can pass through a point.
(iii) Two distinct lines in a plane cannot have more than one point common.
Angle
If two rays are drawn in different directions from
a common initial point, then they are said to form
an angle.
(i) An angle of 90° is a right angle and an
angle less than 90° is an acute angle.
(ii) An angle between 90° and 180° is an obtuse angle.
(iii) An angle between 180° and 360° is a reflex angle.

O by any number of lines joining the line AB at O is 180°.
(v) When any number of straight lines joining at a point, then the
sum of all the angles around that point is 360° which is called as
complete angle.
(vi) Two angles whose sum is 90° are said to be complementary to
each other and two angles whose sum is 180° are said to be
supplementary to each other.
Intersecting Lines
When two straight lines intersect each other, then vertically opposite
angles are equal.
i.e. ∠ = ∠ ∠ = ∠
1 3 2 4
,
Parallel Lines
When a straight line XY cuts two parallel lines l1 and l2 as shown in
the figure, the line XY is called the transversal line.
The following are the relationships between various angles that are
formed.

A figure bounded by three line segments in a plane is called a triangle.
It has three vertices, three sides and three angles.

Important Properties of Triangles
(i) Sum of the three angles of a triangle is 180°.
(ii) Sides opposite to equal angles are equal and vice-versa
(iii) In an isosceles right angled triangle one angle is 90° and other
two angles are 45° each.
(iv) The exterior angle of a triangle (at each vertex) is equal to the
sum of the two opposite interior angles (exterior angle is the
angle formed at any vertex, by one side and the extended portion
of the second side at that vertex) ∠ = ∠ + ∠
Z X Y .
(v) Side opposite to the greatest angle is the longest side and
vice-versa.
Also, side oppest to the smallest angle is the smallest side and
vice-versa.
(vi) If the sides are arranged in the ascending order of their
measurement, then the angles opposite to the side ( in the same
order) will also be in ascending order ( i.e. greater angles has
greater side opposite to it). If the sides are arranged in descending
order of their measurement, then the angles opposite to the side
in the same order will also be in descending order
( i.e. smaller angle has smaller side opposite to it).
(vii) There can be only one right angle or only one obtuse angle in any
triangle.
Different Centre of a Triangle
1. Circumcentre
The three perpendicular bisectors of the sides of
a triangle meet at a point is called circumcentre
of the triangle. The circumcentre of a triangle is
equidistant from its vertices and the distance of
circumcentre from each of the three vertices is
called circumradius (R) of the triangle. The
circle passes through all the three vertices of the
triangle is called circumcircle.

The internal bisectors of the three angles of a triangle meet at a point
is called incentre (I) of the triangle. Incentre is equidistant from the
three sides of the triangle. i.e. the perpendicular’s drawn from the
incentre to the three sides are equal in length and this length is called
the inradius of the triangle.
The circle drawn with incentre as centre and touches all three sides on
the inside is called incircle. The point of intersection of two external
angle bisectors and one internal angle bisector is called an excentre.
Any triangle has three excentres, one opposite to each vertex.
3. Orthocentre
The perpendicular is drawn from a vertex to the opposite side is called
an altitude. The three altitudes meet at a point is called orthocentre.
4. Centroid
Median is the line joining the mid-point of a side to the opposite
vertex. The three medians of a triangle meet at a point is called the
centroid G. Centroid divides the median in the ratio 2 1

Important Points about Centres of Triangles
(i) In a right angled triangle, the vertex where the right angle is
formed ( i.e. the vertex opposite to the hypotenuse) is the
orthocentre.
(ii) In an obtuse angled triangle, the orthocentre lies outside the
triangle.
(iii) Centroid divides each of the medians in the ratio 2 1
: , the part of
the median towards the vertex being twice in length to the part
towards the side.
(iv) In a right angled triangle, the length of the median drawn to the
hypotenuse is equal to half the hypotenuse. This median is also
the circumradius and the mid-point of the hypotenuse is the
circumcentre. In an obtuse angled triangle, the circumcentre
lies outside the triangle.
(v) In an isosceles triangle, centroid, orthocentre, circumcentre
and incentre all lie on the median to the base.
(vi) In an equilateral triangle, centroid, orthocentre, circumcentre
and incentre all coincide.
(vii) The ratio of circumradius and inradius of an equilateral triangle
is 2 : 1.

Two triangles that are identical in all respects are said to be congruent
and it is denoted by the symbol ≅. In two congruent triangles,

conditions is satisfied.
(i) Three sides of one triangle are respectively equal to the three
sides of the second triangle. (SSS)

equal to two sides and the included angle of the second triangle.
(SAS)

equal to two angles and the corresponding side of the second
triangle. (ASA) or (AAS)
(iv) Two right angled triangles are congruent, if the hypotenuse and
one side of one triangle are respectively equal to the hypotenuse
and one side of the second right angled triangle. (RHS)

Two triangles are said to be similar, if they are alike in shape only and
it is denoted by the symbol (~). The corresponding angles of two similar
triangles are equal but the corresponding sides are only in proportional

(i) the three angles of one triangle are respectively equal to the
three angles of the second triangle. (AAA) or (AA)
(ii) two sides of one triangle are proportional to two sides of the
other and the included angles are equal. (SAS)

7. A tangent is perpendicular to the radius drawn at the point of
tangency (RR ′ ⊥ OR) i.e. at R.
8. Two tangents can be drawn to the circle from any point outside
the circle and these two tangents are equal in length ( in figure
X is the external point and the two tangents XY and XY ′ are
equal.)
9. One and only one circle passes through any three given
non-collinear points.
10. Two circles are said to touch each other, if a common tangent can
be drawn touching both the circles at the same point. This is
called the point of contact of the two circles. When two circles
touch each other, then the point of contact and the centres of the
two circles are collinear.
11. If two circles touch internally, then the distance between two
centres is equal to the difference of their radii.
12. If two circles touch externally, then the distance between two
centres is equal to the sum of their radii.
13. A common tangent drawn to two circles is called a direct
common tangent, if the tangent cuts the line passing through
the centres not between the two circles but on one side of the
circles.
14. The maximum number of common tangents that can be drawn
for two non-intersecting circles is four. The number of common
tangents that can be drawn for two intersecting circle is 2.

Arc and Sector
An arc is a segment of a circle. In the figure, ACB is called minor arc
and ADB is called major arc. In general, when we say it is an arc AB,
we refer to the minor arc. The closed figure AOBCA is called the
sector. ∠AOB is called the angle of the sector.
(i) Angles in the same segment are equal. In the figure,
∠ = ∠
AXB AYB.
(ii) The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is double the angle
subtended by the arc in the remaining part of the circle. In the
figure, ∠ = × ∠ = × ∠
AOB AXB AYB
2 2 .
Some Important Theorems
1. If two arcs of a circle are congruent, then the corresponding
chords are equal.
2. The perpendicular from the centre of a circle to a chord bisects
the chord.
3. The line joining the centre to the mid-point of a chord is
perpendicular to the chord.
4. Chords which are equidistant from the corresponding centres
are equal.
5. Equal chords of a circle are equidistant from the centre.
6. The angle in a semi-circle is a right angle.
7. Alternate Segment Theorem The segment opposite to the
angle formed by the chord of a circle with the tangent to a point
is called alternate segment for that angle, i.e. ∠ = ∠

Surface Area and Volume of Solid Figure
Surface Area Area covered by the outer surface of a solid.
Volume Amount of space occupied by a solid.
Important Points to be Remembered
(i) The capacity of a container is equal to its volume.
(ii) The volume of the material in a hollow body is equal to the difference
between the external volume and internal volume.
(iii) To find the cost of polishing/covering/painting of a solid, firstly we will
have to find its exposed surface area and then multiply it by unit cost.
(iv) To find the quantity of a substance continued in a solid, we find its
volume.
(v) Volume of water accumulated on a roof after rain
= Surface area of roof × Rain falls

  • 9. 1 Sets and Relations Set Set is a collection of well defined objects which are distinct from each other. Sets are usually denoted by capital letters A B C , , ,K and elements are usually denoted by small letters a b c , , ,... . If a is an element of a set A, then we write a A ∈ and say a belongs to A or a is in A or a is a member of A. If a does not belongs to A, we write a A ∉ . Standard Notations N : A set of all natural numbers. W : A set of all whole numbers. Z : A set of all integers. Z Z + − / : A set of all positive/negative integers. Q : A set of all rational numbers. Q Q + − / : A set of all positive/negative rational numbers. R : A set of all real numbers. R R + − / : A set of all positive/negative real numbers. C : A set of all complex numbers. Methods for Describing a Set (i) Roster Form / Listing Method / Tabular Form In this method, a set is described by listing the elements, separated by commas and enclosed within braces. e.g. If A is the set of vowels in English alphabet, then A a e i o u = { , , , , } (ii) Set Builder Form / Rule Method In this method, we write down a property or rule which gives us all the elements of the set. e.g. A x x = { : is a vowel in English alphabet} Types of Sets (i) Empty/Null/Void Set A set containing no element, it is denoted by φ or { }.

  • 10. (ii) Singleton Set A set containing a single element. (iii) Finite Set A set containing finite number of elements or no element. Note : Cardinal Number (or Order) of a Finite Set The number of elements in a given finite set is called its cardinal number. If A is a finite set, then its cardinal number is denoted by n A ( ). (iv) Infinite Set A set containing infinite number of elements. (v) Equivalent Sets Two sets are said to be equivalent, if they have same number of elements. If n A n B ( ) ( ) = , then A and B are equivalent sets. (vi) Equal Sets Two sets A and B are said to be equal, if every element of A is a member of B and every element of B is a member of A and we write it as A B = . Subset and Superset Let A and B be two sets. If every element of A is an element of B, then A is called subset of B and B is called superset of A and written as A B ⊆ or B A ⊇ . Power Set The set formed by all the subsets of a given set A, is called power set of A, denoted by P A ( ). Universal Set (U) A set consisting of all possible elements which occurs under consideration is called a universal set. Proper Subset If A is a subset of B and A B ≠ , then A is called proper subset of B and we write it as A ⊂ B. Comparable Sets Two sets A B and are comparable, if A B ⊆ or B A ⊆ . Non-comparable Sets For two sets A B and , if neither A B ⊆ nor B A ⊆ , then A and B are called non-comparable sets. Disjoint Sets Two sets A and B are called disjoint, if A B ∩ = φ. i.e. they do not have any common element. 2 Handbook of Mathematics Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts

(ii) The set of real number x, such that a x b < < is called an open interval and is denoted by ( , ) a b i.e. ( , ) a b = { : , } x x R a x b ∈ < < (iii) The sets [ , ) { : , } a b x x R a x b = ∈ ≤ < and ( , ] { : , } a b x x R a x b = ∈ < ≤ are called semi-open or semi-closed intervals. Venn Diagram In a Venn diagram, the universal set is represented by a rectangular region and its subset is represented by circle or a closed geometrical figure inside the rectangular region. Operations on Sets 1. Union of Sets The union of two sets A and B, denoted by A B ∪ , is the set of all those elements which are either in A or in B or both in A and B.

  • 16. Representation of a Relation (i) Roster form In this form, we represent the relation by the set of all ordered pairs belongs to R. e.g. Let R is a relation from set A = − − { , , 3 2 − 1 1 2 3 , , , } to set B = { , , , } 1 4 9 10 , defined by aRb a b ⇔ = 2 , Then, ( ) ,( ) ,( ) − = − = − = 3 9 2 4 1 1 2 2 2 , ( ) ,( ) 2 4 3 9 2 2 = = . Then, in roster form, R can be written as R = − − − {( , ),( , ),( , ),( , ),( , ),( , )} 1 1 2 4 1 1 2 4 3 9 3 9 (ii) Set-builder form In this form, we represent the relation R from set A to set B as R a b a A b B = ∈ ∈ {( , ): , and the rule which relate the elements of A and B} e.g. Let R is a relation from set A = { , , , } 1 2 4 5 to set B =       1 1 2 1 4 1 5 , , , such that R =                         ( , ), , , , 1 1 2 1 2 4 1 4 5 1 5 Then, in set-builder form, R can be written as R a b a A b B b a = ∈ ∈ =       ( , ): , and 1 Note We cannot write every relation from set A to set B in set-builder form. Domain, Codomain and Range of a Relation Let R be a relation from a non-empty set A to a non-empty set B. Then, set of all first components or coordinates of the ordered pairs belonging to R is called the domain of R, while the set of all second components or coordinates of the ordered pairs belonging to R is called the range of R Also, the set B is called the codomain of relation R. Thus, domain of R a a b R = ∈ { :( , ) } and range of R b a b R = ∈ { :( , ) } Types of Relations (i) Empty or Void Relation As φ ⊂ × A A, for any set A, so φ is a relation on A, called the empty or void relation. (ii) Universal Relation Since, A A A A × ⊆ × , so A A × is a relation on A, called the universal relation. (iii) Identity Relation The relation I a a a A A = ∈ {( , ): } is called the identity relation on A. (iv) Reflexive Relation A relation R on a set A is said to be reflexive relation, if every element of A is related to itself. Thus, ( , ) , a a R a A R ∈ ∀ ∈ ⇒ is reflexive. 8 Handbook of Mathematics Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
  • 17. (v) Symmetric Relation A relation R on a set A is said to be symmetric relation iff ( , ) a b R ∈ ⇒ ( , ) , , b a R a b A ∈ ∀ ∈ i.e. a R b bRa a b A ⇒ ∀ ∈ , , (vi) Transitive Relation A relation R on a set A is said to be transitive relation, iff ( , ) and ( , ) a b R b c R ∈ ∈ ⇒ ( , ) , , , a c R a b c A ∈ ∀ ∈ Equivalence Relation A relation R on a set A is said to be an equivalence relation, if it is simultaneously reflexive, symmetric and transitive on A. Equivalence Classes Let R be an equivalence relation on A (≠ φ). Let a A ∈ . Then, the equivalence class of a denoted by [ ] a or ( ) a is defined as the set of all those points of A which are related to a under the relation R. Inverse Relation If A and B are two non-empty sets and R be a relation from A to B, then the inverse of R, denoted by R−1 , is a relation from B to A and is defined by R b a a b R − = ∈ 1 {( , ):( , ) }. Composition of Relation Let R and S be two relations from sets A to B and B to C respectively, then we can define relation SoR from A to C such that ( , ) a c SoR b B ∈ ⇔ ∃ ∈ such that ( , ) and ( , ) a b R b c S ∈ ∈ . This relation SoR is called the composition of R S and . (i) RoS SoR ≠ (ii) ( ) SoR R oS − − − = 1 1 1 known as reversal rule. Important Results on Relation (i) If R and S are two equivalence relations on a set A, then R S ∩ is also an equivalence relation on A. (ii) The union of two equivalence relations on a set is not necessarily an equivalence relation on the set. (iii) If R is an equivalence relation on a set A, then R−1 is also an equivalence relation on A. (vi) Let A and B be two non-empty finite sets consisting of m and n elements, respectively. Then, A B × consists of mn ordered pairs. So, the total number of relations from A to B is 2nm . (v) If a set A has n elements, then number of reflexive relations from A to A is 2 2 n n − .

  • 18. 2 Functions and Binary Operations Function Let A and B be two non-empty sets, then a function f from set A to set B is a rule which associates each element of A to a unique element of B. It is represented as f : A→ B or A B f → and function is also called the mapping. Domain, Codomain and Range of a Function If f A B : → is a function from A to B, then (i) the set A is called the domain of f x ( ). (ii) the set B is called the codomain of f x ( ). (iii) the subset of B containing only the images of elements of A is called the range of f x ( ). Characteristics of a Function f A B : → (i) For each element x A ∈ , there is unique element y B ∈ .

Identification of a Function from its Graph Let us draw a vertical line parallel toY-axis, such that it intersects the graph of the given expression.If it intersects the graph at more than one point, then the expression is a relation else, if it intersects at only one point, then the expression is a function. In figure (i), the vertical parallel line intersects the curve at two points, thus the expression is a relation whereas in figure (ii), the vertical parallel line intersects the curve at one point. So, the expression is a function. Types of Functions 1.

A function * from S S × to S is called a binary operation on S i.e. * : S S S × → is a binary operation on set S. Note Generally binary operations are represented by the symbols *, ⊕, ... etc., instead of letters figure etc. Closure Property An operation * on a non-empty set S is said to satisfy the closure property, if a S b S a b S ∈ ∈ ⇒ ∈ , * , ∀ a, b S ∈ Also, in this case we say that S is closed under *. An operation * on a non-empty set S, satisfying the closure property is known as a binary operation.

While multiplication on the set S of all irrationals is not a binary operation.

Properties of Binary Operations (i) Commutative Property A binary operation * on a non-empty set S is said to be commutative or abelian, if a * b = b * a, ∀ a, b ∈S. Addition and multiplication are commutative binary operations on Z but subtraction is not a commutative binary operation, since 2 3 3 2 − ≠ − . Union and intersection are commutative binary operations on the power set P S ( ) of S. But difference of sets is not a commutative binary operation on P S ( ). (ii) Associative Property A binary operation* on a non-empty set S is said to be associative, if (a * b) * c = a * (b * c), ∀ a, b, c ∈S. Let R be the set of real numbers, then addition and multiplication on R satisfies the associative property. (iii) Distributive Property Let* and o be two binary operations on a non-empty sets.

For addition on N the identity element does not exist. But for multiplication on N the identity element is 1. Inverse of an Element Let * be a binary operation on a non-empty set S and let e be the identity element. Suppose a S ∈ , we say that a is invertible, if there exists an element b S ∈ such that a b b a e * * = = Also, in this case, b is called the inverse of a and we write, a b − = 1 Addition on N has no identity element and accordingly N has no invertible element. Multiplication on N has 1 as the identity element and no element other than 1 is invertible.

But arg (0) is not defined. A purely real number is represented by a point on real axis. A purely imaginary number is represented by a point on imaginary axis. Principal Value of Argument The value of the argument which lies in the interval ( , ] − π π is called principal value of argument.

Series If a a a an 1 2 3 , , ,..., ,... is a sequence, then the sum expressed as a a a an 1 2 3 + + + + ... +... is called a series. l A series having finite number of terms is called finite series. l A series having infinite number of terms is called infinite series. Arithmetic Progression (AP) A sequence in which terms increase or decrease regularly by a fixed number. This fixed number is called the common difference of AP. e.g. a, a d + , a d + 2 ,... is an AP, where a = first term and d = common difference. Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts

Multiplication Principle If first operation can be performed in m ways and then a second operation can be performed in n ways. Then, the two operations taken together can be performed in mn ways. This can be extended to any finite number of operations. 2. Addition Principle If an operation can be performed in m ways and another operation, which is independent of the first, can be performed in n ways. Then, either of the two operations can be performed in m n + ways. This can be extended to any finite number of mutually exclusive events.

  • 121. 10 Probability Experiment An operation which produce some well-defined results or outcomes is called an experiment. Types of Experiments 1. Deterministic Experiment Those experiments, which when repeated under identical conditions produce the same result or outcome are known as deterministic experiment. 2. Probabilistic/Random Experiment Those experiments, which when repeated under identical conditions, do not produce the same outcome every time but the outcome produced is one of the several possible outcomes, are called random experiment. Some Basic Definitions (i) Trial Performing an experiment is called a trial. The number of times an experiment is repeated is called the number of trials. (ii) Sample Space The set of all possible outcomes of a random experiment is called the sample space of the experiment and it is denoted by S. (iii) Sample Point The outcome of an experiment is called the sample point, i.e. the elements of set S are called the sample points. (iv) Event A subset of the sample space associated with a random experiment is called event or case. (v) Elementary (or Simple) Event An event containing only one sample point is called elementary event (or indecomposable event). (vi) Compound Event An event containing more than one sample points is called compound event (or decomposable event). (vii) Occurrence of an Event An event associated to a random experiment is said to occur, if any one of the elementary events associated to it is an outcome. Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
  • 122. (viii) Certain Event An event which must occur, whatever be the outcomes, is called a certain event (or sure event). (ix) Impossible Event An event which cannot occur in a random experiment, is called an impossible event. (x) Favourable Outcomes Let S be the sample space associated with a random experiment and E ⊂ S. Then, the elementary events belonging to E are known as the favourable outcomes to E. (xi) Equally likely Outcomes The outcomes of a random experiment are said to be equally likely, when each outcome is as likely to occur as the other. Algebra of Events Let A and B are two events associated with a random experiment, whose sample space is S. Then, (i) the event ‘not A’ is the set ′ A or S A − (ii) the events A or B is the set A ∪ B (iii) the events A and B is the set A ∩ B (iv) the events A but not B is the set A − B or A ∩ ′ B Note For more details, see operations on sets. Probability— Theoretical (Classical) Approach If there are n equally likely outcomes associated with a random experiment and m of them are favourable to an event A, then the probability of happening or occurrence of A, denoted by P A ( ), is given by P A m n A ( ) = = Number of favourable outcomes to Total number of possible outcomes Axiomatic Approach Let S w w w wn = { , , ,... } 1 2 3 be a sample space, then according to axiomatic approach we have the following (i) 0 1 ≤ ≤ P wi ( ) for each w S i ∈ (ii) P w P w P wn ( ) ( ) ...

Also, there are 16 honour cards, 4 of each suit namely ace, king, queen and jack. The suits, clubs and spades are of black colour while the suits hearts and diamonds are of red colour. So, there are 26 red cards and 26 black cards. Probability 119 Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts

There are two types of random variable (i) Discrete Random Variable If the range of the function X S R : → is a finite set or countably infinite set of real numbers, then it is called a discrete random variable. e.g. In tossing of two coins S = { }, HH HT TH TT , , , let X denotes number of heads in tossing of two coins, then X HH X TH X HT X TT ( ) , ( ) , ( ) , ( ) = = = = 2 1 1 0 (ii) Continuous Random Variable If the range of X is an interval (a, b) of R, then X is called a continuous random variable.

  • 132. 11 Trigonometric Functions, Identities and Equations Angle When a ray OA starting from its initial position OA rotates about its end point O and takes the final position OB, we say that angle AOB (written as ∠ AOB) has been formed. The amount of rotation from the initial side to the terminal side is called the measure of the angle. Positive and Negative Angles An angle formed by a rotating ray is said to be positive or negative depending on whether it moves in an anti-clockwise or a clockwise direction, respectively. Measurement of Angles There are three system for measuring the angles, which are given below 1. Sexagesimal System (Degree Measure) In this system, a right angle is divided into 90 equal parts, called the degrees. The symbol 1° is used to denote one degree. Each degree is divided into 60 equal parts, called the minutes and one minute is T e r m i n a l s i d e θ° Initial side B A O (Positive angle) (Negative angle) T e r m i n a l s i d e −θ° Initial side B A O T e r m i n a l s i d e θ° Initial side A O (Vertex) B Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts

Circular System (Radian Measure) In this system, angle is measured in radian. A radian is the angle subtended at the centre of a circle by an arc, whose length is equal to the radius of the circle. The number of radians in an angle subtended by an arc of circle at the centre is equal to arc radius . 3. Centesimal System (French System) In this system, a right angle is divided into 100 equal parts, called the grades. Each grade is subdivided into 100 min and each minute is divided into 100 s. i.e. 1 right angle = 100 grades = 100g , 1g = ′ 100 , 1 100 ′ = ′ ′ Relation between Degree and Radian (i) π radian = ° 180 or 1 radian = °       = ° ′ ′ ′ 180 57 16 22 π where, π = = 22 7 3.14159 (ii) 1 180 ° =       π rad = 0.01746 rad (iii) If D is the number of degrees, R is the number of radians and G is the number of grades in an angle θ, then D G R 90 100 2 = = π Length of an Arc of a Circle If in a circle of radius r, an arc of length l subtend an angle θ radian at the centre, then θ = = l r Length of arc Radius or l r = θ Trigonometric Functions, Identities and Equations 125 1c θ r r Q l P Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts

  • 232. Methods of Evaluating Limits 1. Determinate Forms (Limits by Direct Substitution) To find lim ( ) x a f x → , we substitute x a = in the function. If the value comes out to be a definite value, then it is the limit. Thus, lim ( ) ( ) x a f x f a → = provided it exists. 2. Indeterminate Forms While evaluating lim ( ) x a f x → , if direct substitution of x a = leads to one of the following form 0 0 0 ; ; ; ∞ ∞ ∞ − ∞ × ∞ ; , 1 00 ∞ and ∞0 , then these limits can be determined by using L’ Hospital’s rule or by some other method given below. (i) Limits by Factorisation If lim ( ) ( ) x a f x g x → attains 0 0 form, then x a − must be a factor of numerator and denominator which can be cancelled out. (ii) Limits by Rationalisation If lim ( ) ( ) x a f x g x → attains 0 0 form or ∞ ∞ form and either f x ( ) or g x ( ) or both involve expression consisting of square root, then this can be evaluated by rationalising. (iii) Limits by Substitution In order to evaluate lim ( ), x a f x → we may substitute x a h = + (or x a h = − ), so that x a → changes to h → 0. Thus, lim ( ) lim ( ) x a h f x f a h → → = ± 0 (iv) Limits when x → ∞ If lim ( ) ( ) x f x g x → ∞ is of the form ∞ ∞ and both f x ( ) and g x ( ) are polynomial of x. Then, we divide numerator and denominator by the highest power of x and put 0 for 1 1 1 2 3 x x x , , , etc. 224 Handbook of Mathematics Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts

Thus, the average rate of change = ∆ ∆ y t . When limit ∆t → 0 is applied, the rate of change becomes instantaneous and we get the rate of change with respect to t at any instant y, i.e. lim ∆ ∆ ∆ t y t dy dt → = 0 . Similarly, the differential coefficient of y with respect to x i.e. dy dx is nothing but the rate of change of y relative to x.

The point x a = is called a point of local minimum of the function f x ( ) and f a ( ) is known as the local minimum value of f x ( ) at x a = . Note Extreme value A function f x ( ) is said to have an extreme value in domain, if there exists a point c in interval such that f c ( )is either a local maximum value or local minimum value in the interval. Properties of Maxima and Minima (i) If f x ( ) is continuous function in its domain, then atleast one maxima and one minima must lie between two different values of x on which functional values are equal. (ii) Maxima and minima occur alternately, i.e., between two maxima there is one minima and vice-versa. (iii) If f x x a ( )→ ∞ → as or band f x ′ = ( ) 0only for one value of x (sayc) between a and b, then f c ( ) is necessarily the minimum and the least value. (iv) If f x x a ( )→ − ∞ → as or b and f c ′ = ( ) 0 only for one value of x c ( ) say between a and b, then f c ( ) is necessarily the maximum and the greatest value. Critical Points of a Function Points where a function f x ( ) is not differentiable and points where its derivative (differentiable coefficient) is zero are called the critical points of the function f x ( ). Maximum and minimum values of a function f x ( ) can occur only at critical points. However, this does not mean that the function will have maximum or minimum values at all critical points. Thus, the points where maximum or minimum value occurs are necessarily critical points but a function may or may not have maximum or minimum value at a critical point. 250 Handbook of Mathematics a – h a + h a X Y O Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
  • 259. Important Points to be Remembered (i) If f x ( ) be a differentiable functions, then f x ′( ) vanishes at every local maximum and at every local minimum. (ii) The converse of above is not true, i.e. every point at whichf x ′( ) vanishes need not be a local maximum or minimum. e.g. iff x x ( ) = 3 , thenf′ = ( ) 0 0, but at x = 0 the function has neither maxima nor minima. In general these points are point of inflection. (iii) A function may attain an extreme value at a point without being derivable at that point. e.g. f x x ( ) | | = has a minima at x = 0 but f′( ) 0 does not exist. (iv) A functionf x ( ) can has several local maximum and local minimum values in an interval. Thus, the maximum and minimum values of f x ( ) defined above are not necessarily the greatest and the least values of f x ( ) in a given interval. (v) A local value at some point may even be greater than a local values at some other point. Methods to Find a Local Maximum and Local Minimum 1.

(iv) If f a f a f a ′ = ′′ = ′′′ = ( ) ( ) ( ) 0 and f a iv ( ) , < 0 then it is a local maximum. And if f a iv ( )> 0, then it is a local minimum. 3. nth Derivative Test Let f be a differentiable function on an interval I and let a be an interior point of I such that f a f a f a f a n ′ = ′′ = ′′′ = = = − ( ) ( ) ( ) ... ( ) 1 0 and f a n ( ) exists and is non-zero. (i) If n is even and f a n ( )< 0 ⇒ x a = is a point of local maximum. (ii) If n is even and f a n ( )> 0 ⇒ x a = is a point of local minimum. (iii) If n is odd, then x a = is neither a point of local maximum nor a point of local minimum. Concept of Global Maximum/Minimum Let y f x = ( ) be a given function with domain D. Let [ , ] a b D ⊆ , then global maximum/minimum of f x ( ) in [ , ] a b is basically the greatest/least value of f x ( ) in [ , ]. a b Global maxima/minima in [ , ] a b would always occur at critical points of f x ( ) with in [ , ] a b or at end points of the interval. Global Maximum/Minimum in [ , ] a b In order to find the global maximum and minimum of f x ( ) in [ , ] a b , find out all critical points c c cn 1 2 , ,..., of f x ( ) in [ , ] a b (i.e., all points at which f x ′ = ( ) 0) or f x ′( ) not exists and let f c f c f cn ( ), ( ) ,..., ( ) 1 2 be the values of the function at these points. Then, M1 → Global maxima or greatest value. and M2 → Global minima or least value. where M f a f c f c f c f b n 1 1 2 = max { ( ), ( ), ( ),..., ( ), ( )} and M f a f c f c f c f b n 2 1 2 = min { ( ), ( ), ( ),..., ( ), ( )} 252 Handbook of Mathematics Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
  • 261. Then, M1 is the greatest value or global maxima in [ , ] a b and M2 is the least value or global minima in [ , ]. a b Important Points to be Remembered (i) To Find Range of a Continuous Function Let f x ( ) be a continuous function on [ , ] a b , such that its least value in [ , ] a b is m and the greatest value in[ , ] a b is M. Then, range of value of f x ( ) for x a b ∈[ , ] is[ , ] m M . (ii) To Check for the Injectivity of a Function A strictly monotonic function is always one-one (injective). Hence, a function f x ( ) is one-one in the interval [ , ] a b , if f x x a b ′ > ∀ ∈ ( ) , [ , ] 0 orf x x a b ′ < ∀ ∈ ( ) , [ , ] 0 . (iii) The points at which a function attains either the local maximum value or local minimum value are known as the extreme points or turning points and both local maximum and local minimum values are called the extreme values off x ( ). Thus, a function attains an extreme value at x a = , if f a ( ) is either a local maximum value or a local minimum value. Consequently at an extreme point ‘a’,f x f a ( ) ( ) − keeps the same sign for all values of x in a deleted nbd of a. (iv) A necessary condition forf a ( ) to be an extreme value of a functionf x ( ) is that ′ = f a ( ) 0 in case it exists. It is not sufficient. i.e. f a ′ = ( ) 0 does not necessarily imply that x a = is an extreme point. There are functions for which the derivatives vanish at a point but do not have an extreme value. e.g. the function f x x f ( ) , ( ) = ′ = 3 0 0 but at x = 0 the function does not attain an extreme value. (v) Geometrically the above condition means that the tangent to the curve y f x = ( ) at a point where the ordinate is maximum or minimum is parallel to the X-axis. (vi) All x,for whichf x ′ = ( ) 0, do not give us the extreme values. The values of x for whichf x ′ = ( ) 0 are called stationary values or critical values of x and the corresponding values off x ( ) are called stationary or turning values of f x ( ).

If degree of f x ( )< degree of g x ( ), then f x g x ( ) ( ) is called a proper rational function.

The order of a differential equation is always a positive integer. The degree of a differential equation is the exponent of the derivative of the highest order in the equation, when the equation is a polynomial in derivatives, i.e. in y y y ′ ′′ ′′′ , , etc. e.g. The order and degree of a differential equation d y dx d y dx y 3 3 2 2 2 3 2 3 0       +       + = are 3 and 2 respectively. Note If the differential equation is not a polynomial equation in derivatives, then its degree is not defined. e.g. Degree of dy dx dy dx +       = cos 0 is not defined, as dy dx dy dx +       = cos 0 is not a polynomial in derivatives.

  • 293. Linear and Non-Linear Differential Equations A differential equation is said to be linear, if the dependent variable and all of its derivatives occuring in the first power and there are no product of these. A linear equation of nth order can be written in the form P d y dx P d y dx P d y dx n n n n n n 0 1 1 1 2 2 2 + + − − − − + + + = − K P dy dx P y Q n n 1 where, P P P Pn 0 1 2 1 , , , , K − , Pn and Q must be either constants or functions of x only. A linear differential equation is always of the first degree but every differential equation of the first degree need not be linear. e.g. The equations d y dx dy dx xy 2 2 2 0 +       + = , x d y dx y dy dx y x 2 2 3 + + = and dy dx d y dx y       + = 2 2 0 are not linear. Solution of Differential Equations A solution of a differential equation is a relation between the variables, of the equation not involving the differential coefficients, such that it satisfy the given differential equation (i.e., from which the given differential equation can be derived). e.g. y A x B x = + cos sin is a solution of d y dx y 2 2 0 + = , because it satisfy this equation. 1. General Solution If the solution of the differential equation contains as many independent arbitrary constants as the order of the differential equation, then it is called the general solution or the complete integral of the differential equation. e.g. The general solution of d y dx y 2 2 0 + = is y A x B x = + cos sin because it contains two arbitrary constants A and B, which is equal to the order of the equation.

  • 328. 30 Statistics Statistics is the Science of collection, organisation, presentation, analysis and interpretation of the numerical data. Useful Terms 1. Primary and Secondary Data The data collected by the investigator himself is known as the primary data, while the data which are not originally collected but rather obtained from some sources is known as secondary data. 2. Variable or Variate A characteristics that varies in magnitude from observation to observation. e.g. weight, height, income, age, etc are variables. 3. Grouped and Ungrouped Data The data which is organised into several groups is called grouped data where as ungrouped data is present in original form, i.e. it is just a list of numbers. 4. Class-Intervals The groups which used to condense the data are called classes or class-intervals. 5. Limit of the Class The starting and ending values of each class are called Lower and Upper limits, respectively. 6. Class Size or Class Width The difference between upper and lower boundary of a class is called size of the class. 7. Class Marks The class marks of a class is given by Lower limit Upper limit + 2 . 8. Frequency The number of times an observation occurs in the given data, is called the frequency of the observation. 9. Frequency Distribution It is a tabular summary of data showing the frequency of observations. 10. Discrete Frequency Distribution A frequency distribution is called a discrete frequency distribution, if data are presented in such a way that exact value of the data are clearly shown.

  • 329. 11. Continuous Frequency Distribution A frequency distribution in which data are arranged in classes (or groups) which are not exactly measurable. 12. Cumulative Frequency Distribution In this type of distribution, the frequencies of each class intervals are added successively from top to bottom or from bottom to top. A cumulative frequency distribution is of two types (i) Less than cummulative frequency distribution In this frequencies are added successively from top to bottom and we represent the cumulative number of observation less than or equal to the class frequency to which it relates. (ii) More than cummulative frequency distribution In this frequencies are added successively from bottom to top and we represent the cummulative number of observation greater than or equal to the class frequency to which it relates. Graphical Representation of Frequency Distributions (i) Bar Diagrams In bar diagrams, only the length of the bars are taken into consideration. To draw a bar diagram, we first mark equal lengths for the different classes on the horizontal axis, i.e. on X-axis. On each of these lengths on the horizontal axis, we erect (vertical) a rectangle whose heights are proportional to the frequency of the class. (ii) Histogram To draw the histogram of a given continuous frequency distribution, we first mark off all the class intervals along X-axis on a suitable scale. On each of these class intervals Statistics 321 Registered vehicles 0 10 20 30 40 Frequency Cars Bus Bikes Scooters Y X Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts

If however the classes are of unequal width, then the height of the rectangles will be proportional to the ratio of the frequencies to the width of the classes. (iii) Pie Diagrams Pie diagrams are used to represent a relative frequency distribution. A pie diagram consists of a circle divided into as many sectors as there are classes in a frequency distribution. The area of each sector is proportional to the relative frequency of the class. Now, we make angles at the centre proportional to the relative frequencies. And in order to get the angles of the desired sectors, we divide 360° in the proportion of the various relative frequencies, i.e. Central angle =       × ° Frequency Total frequency 360 The above pie diagram represent an illustration of types of vehicles and their share in the total number of vehicles of a city.

There are two methods of constructing an ogive, (i) ‘less than’ type ogive (ii) ‘more than’ type ogive. Measures of Central Tendency A single value which describes the characteristic of the entire data is known as the average.

Mode The mode ( ) MO of a distribution is the value at the point about which the observations tend to be most heavily concentrated. It is generally the value of the variable which appears to occur most frequently in the distribution. (i) Mode for a Simple Data or Raw Data The value which is repeated maximum number of times, is the required mode. e.g. Mode of the data 70, 80, 90, 96, 70, 96, 96, 90 is 96 as 96 occurs maximum number of times.

Mode for classified data (Continuous Distribution) is given by M l f f f f f h O = + − − − × 0 1 0 1 2 2 where, l = lower limit of the modal class f0 = frequency of the modal class f1 = frequency of the pre-modal class f2 = frequency of the post-modal class h = length of the class interval Relation between Mean, Median and Mode (i) Mean − Mode = 3 (Mean − Median) (ii) Mode = 3 Median − 2 Mean Symmetric and Anti-symmetric Distribution A distribution is symmetric, if the frequencies are symmetrically distributed on both sides of the centre point of the frequency curve.

  • 346. 31 Mathematical Reasoning In mathematical language, there are two kinds of reasoning—inductive and deductive. Here, we will discuss some fundamentals of deductive reasoning. Statement (Proposition) A statement is an assertive sentence which is either true or false but not both. Statements are denoted by the small letters i.e. p q r , , ... etc. e.g. p : A triangle has four sides. Note (i) A true statement is known as a valid statement and a false statement is known as an invalid statement. (ii) Imperative, exclamatory, interrogative, optative sentences are not statements. 1. Simple Statement A statement which cannot be broken into two or more statements is called a simple statement. e.g. p : 2 is a real number. 2. Open Statement A sentence which contains one or more variable such that when certain values are given to the variable it becomes a statement, is called an open statement. e.g. p : ‘He is a great man’ is an open statement because in this statement, he can be replaced by any person. 338 Handbook of Mathematics Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
  • 347. 3. Compound Statement If two or more simple statements are combined by the use of words such as ‘and’, ‘or’, ‘if... then, ‘if and only if ’, then the resulting statement is called a compound statement. e.g. Roses are red and sky is blue. Note Individual statements of a compound statement are called component statements. Elementary Logical Connectives or Logical Operators (i) Negation A statement which is formed by changing the truth value of a given statement by using the word like ‘no’, ‘not' is called negation of given statement. If p is a statement, then negation of p is denoted by ~ . p (ii) Conjunction A compound statement formed by two simple statements p and q using connective ‘and’ is called the conjunction of p and q and it is represented by p q ∧ . (iii) Disjunction A compound statement formed by two simple statements p and q using connectives ‘or’ is called the disjunction of p and q and it is represented by p q ∨ . (iv) Conditional Statement (Implication) Two simple statements p and q connected by the phrase, ifL then, is called conditional statement of p q L and it is denoted by p q ⇒ . (v) Biconditional Statement (Bi-implication) The two simple statements p and q connected by the phrase, ‘if and only if’ is called biconditional statement. It is denoted by p ⇔ q. Truth Value and Truth Table A statement can be either ‘true’ or ‘false’ which is called truth value of a statement and it is represented by the symbols T and F, respectively. A truth table is a summary of truth values of the compound statement for all possible truth values of its component statements. Logical Equivalent Statements Two compound statements say, S p q r 1 ( , , ) and S p q r 2( , , ,....), are said to be logically equivalent if they have the same truth values for all logically possibilities. If statements S1 and S2 are logically equivalent, then we write S p q r S p q r 1 2 ( , , ...) ( , , ,...) = Mathematical Reasoning 339 Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts

(ii) The symbol ‘∃’ stands for ‘there exists’. This is known as existential quantifier. Quantified Statement An open statement with a quantifier becomes a quantified statement. e.g. x x 4 0 > ∀ ∈ , R is a quantified statemet. Its truth value is T.

  • 351. 32 Linear Programming Problem (LPP) Linear programming problem is one that is concerned with finding the maximum or minimum value of a linear function of several variables, subject to conditions that the variables are non-negative and satisfy a set of linear inequalities. Note: Variables are sometimes called decision variables. Objective Function The linear function which is to be optimised (maximised/minimised) is called an objective function. Constraints The system of linear inequations under which the objective function is to be optimised is called constraints. Non-negative Restrictions All the variables considered for making decisions assume non-negative values. Optimal Value The maximum or minimum value of an objective function is known as the optimal value of LPP.

Some Basic Definitions (i) Feasible Region The common region determined by all the constraints including non-negative constraints is called the feasible region (or solution region) (ii) Feasible Solution of a LPP A set of values of the variables x x 1 2 , ,..., xn satisfying the constraints and non-negative restrictions of a LPP is called a feasible solution of the LPP. or Points within and on the boundary of the feasible region represent feasible solutions of the constraints. (iii) Optimal Solution of a LPP A feasible solution of a LPP is said to be optimal (or optimum), if it also optimises the objective function of the problem. (iv) Extreme Point Theorem An optimum solution of a LPP, if it exists, occurs at one of the extreme points (i.e. corner points) of the feasible region. Note If two corner points of the feasible region are optimal solutions of same type, then any point on the line segment joining these two points is also an optimal solution of the same type. Solution of Simultaneous Linear Inequations The solution set of a system of simultaneous linear inequations is the region containing the points ( , ) x y which satisfy all the inequations of the given system simultaneously. To draw the graph of the simultaneous linear inequations, we find the region of the xy-plane, common to all the portions comprising the solution sets of the given inequations. If there is no region common to all the solutions of the given inequations, we say that the solution set of the system of inequations is empty. Note The solution set of simultaneous linear inequations may be an empty set or it may be the region bounded by the straight lines corresponding to given linear inequations or it may be an unbounded region with straight line boundaries. 344 Handbook of Mathematics Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
  • 353. Working Rule to Draw the Graph of an Inequation (i) Consider the constraint ax by c + ≤ , where a b 2 2 0 + ≠ and c > 0. Firstly, draw the straight line ax by c + = . For this find two convenient points satisyfying this equation and then join them. This straight line divides the xy-plane in two parts. The inequation ax by c + ≤ will represent that part of the xy-plane in which the origin lies. (ii) Again, consider the constraint ax by + ≥ c, where a b 2 2 0 + ≠ and c > 0. Draw the straight line ax + by = c by joining any two points on it. This straight line divides the xy-plane in two parts. The inequation ax by c + ≥ will represent that part of the xy-plane, in which the origin does not lie. Graphical Method of Solving a Linear Programming Problem This method of solving a LPP is based on the principle of extreme point theorem, referred as corner point method. The method comprises of the following steps (i) Consider each constraints as an equation. (ii) Plot the graph of each equation each of these will geometrically represent a straight line. (iii) Find the feasible region. (iv) Determine the vertices (corner points) of the feasible region. (v) Find the values of the objective function at each of the extreme points. (vi) (a) If region is bounded, then maximum (say M) or minimum (say m) value out of these values obtained in point (v), is the required maximum or minimum value of the objective function. (b) If region is unbounded, then maximum (say M) or minimum (say m) value out of these values obtained in point (v) may or may not be required maximum or minimum value of the objective function. In this case, we go to next point. Linear Programming Problem (LPP) 345 Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
  • 354. (vii) Suppose the given objective function is ax by + , then for maximum value draw the graph of inequality ax by + > M and for minimum value draw the graph of ax by + < m. If open half plane obtained by these inequalities has no point in common with the feasible region obtained in point (iv), then M or m is the required maximum or minimum value. Otherwise, objective function has no maximum or no minimum value. Different Types of Linear Programming Problems (i) Diet Problems In these types of problem, we have to find the amount of different kinds of constituents/ nutrients which should be included in a diet, so as to minimise the cost of the desired diet. (ii) Manufacturing Problems In these types of problem, we have to find the number of units of different product which should be produced and sold by a firm when each product requires a fixed manpower, machine hours, etc in order to make maximum profit. (iii) Transportation Problems In these types of problem, we have to determine a transportation schedule in order to find the minimum cost of transporting a product from plants/factories situated at different locations to different markets. 346 Handbook of Mathematics Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts

  • 366. Surds Irrational root of a rational number is called a surd. If n is a positive integer and a is a positive rational number, which cannot be expressed as the nth power of some rational number, then the irrational number, a n or a n 1/ that is the positive nth root of a, is called surd or a radical. The symbol n is called the radical sign, n is called the order of the surd (or radical) and a is called the radicand. Hence, 2 3 is not a surd as 2 is not a rational number. However, 7 is a surd as 7 is a rational number and square root of 7 is not a rational number. 64 is not a surd as though 64 is a rational number but 64 8 = , which is not an irrational number. ∴ 12 6 is a surd of order 6. Properties of Surds 1. Every surd is a real number. However, every real number is not a surd. 2. A surd of order 2 is called a quadratic surd or square root. Hence, 7 25 4 7 , , are quadratic surds. 3. A surd of order 3 is called a cubic surd or cubic root. Hence, 2 3 5 2 5 3 3 3 , , / are cubic surds. 4. A surd of order 4 is called a biquadratic surd. Hence, 5 2 7 4 7 5 4 4 4 , , are biquadratic surds. 5. A surd containing only one term is called a monomial surd. Hence, − 2 5 3 7 3 4 , are monomial surds. 6. If a n is surd, then ( ) a a n n = . 7. If a n and b n are surds, then a b ab n n n × = 8. If a n and b n are surds, then a b a b n n n = 9. If a n is a surd and m is a positive integer, then a a a n m m n mn = = . 10. If ap n is a surd and m is a positive integer, then a a p n pm mn = (index of the radical and the exponent of the radical are multiplied by same positive integer m). 358 Handbook of Mathematics Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
  • 367. 11. A surd which has a rational factor other than unity, the other factor being irrational is called a mixed surd. Thus, 2 3 7 2 2 3 7 3 4 , , are mixed surds. 12. A surd which has unity as its rational factor, the other factor being rational, is called a pure surd. Thus, 10 4 7 3 5 , , are pure surds. 13. Two surds of same order can be compared by just comparing their radicands. If a n and b n are surds, then a b n n > , if a b > and a b n n < , if a b < . 14. If two surds are not of same order, then to compare them they must first be reduced to same order. Let a b n m and are surds such that m n ≠ . Let LCM of m and n be p. Then, to compare them both must be reduced to pth order. 15. Surds having same irrational factor are called similar or like surds. Thus, 3 2 4 3 2 2 2 1 3 2 , , , − − are similar surds (each has same irrational factor of 2). 16. Only like surds can be added or subtracted. If x a n and y a n are surds, then x a y a x y a n n n + = + ( ) and x a y a x y a n n n − = − ( ) . 17. Product of a surd with a rational number is again a surd. 18. If p and q are rational numbers and a n is a surd, then p q a pq a n n × = ( ) . 19. Surds of same order can be multiplied as follows a b a b n n n × = × (radicands get multiplied and order remains same). Also, p a q b p q a b n n n × = × × (rational factor of first gets multiplied by rational factor of second. Radicand of first gets multiplied by radicand of second. Order remains same). 20. If a n is a surd in simplest form, then its simplest rationalising factor is an n −1 . Elementary Arithmetic-I 359 Telegram @unacademyplusdiscounts
  • 368. 21. If ap n is a surd in simplest form, then its simplest rationalising factor is an p n − . 22. If a b p q n is a surd in simplest form, then its simplest rationalising factor is a b n p n q n − − . 23. A surd containing only two distinct terms is called a binomial surd. Hence, 2 3 2 3 3 2 7 3 + + + , , are binomial surds. 24. Two binomial surds are said to be conjugates of each other, if they differ only in sign (+ or –) connecting them. Thus, 2 2 3 3 2 2 3 3 + − and are conjugates of each other. 25. Rationalising factor of a binomial surd is its conjugate. e.g. Rationalising factor of a b c d + is a b c d − . 26. Surds containing three distinct terms is called a trinomial surd. Hence, 7 2 3 3 7 2 3 + + − + , are trinomial surds.

Compound Interest Money is said to be lent at Compound Interest (CI), if the interest at the end of year or a fixed period of time is not paid by the borrower to the lender, it is added to the principal and thus the amount obtained becomes the new principal for the next period and so on. Important Points to be Remembered (i) For 1 yr, compound interest is equal to the simple interest. (ii) Compound interest for more than one year is always greater than the simple interest. (iii) The amount of the previous year becomesthe principalfor the successive year. (iv) The difference between two consecutive amounts is the interest on the preceeding amount.

Hence, whenever characteristic is negative, minus sign is placed above the characteristic and not to its left to show that the mantissa is always positive. (ii) Mantissa of the logarithm of all the numbers having same digits in the same order will be the same, irrespective of the position of the decimal point.
