Any presentation or work on Mathematics must be conceived as an art rather than a text This is where this work holds it differently During my school days and throughout my long teaching career I realized that most of the JEE aspirants feel the need of a book that may provide them with rapid revision of all the concepts they learned and their important applications throughout their two years long time of preparation I prefer to call it Mathematics at a Glance The present book is written with sole objective of that The entire syllabus of Mathematics for AIEEE JEE Mains and JEE Advanced has been presented in an unprecedented format The reader ought to have the following pre requisites before going through it

(i) HeShe must have ample knowledge of high school Mathematics (ii) Must have conceptualtheoretical knowledge behind the various mathematical thoughts presented (iii) Must be confident enough that heshe is not the father of Mathematics and if not comfortable with

any concept or text we shall be thankful to have your valuable advice

As the name of this work suggests that it has been designed to help during revision It must be kept in mind that the motive of the text is to provide a recapitulation of the entire mathematics that you have studied in your mainstream syllabus While going through the book if you want detailed analysis of any thought or idea you must go for

ldquoFundamentals of Mathematics---By Sanjay MishrardquoAll the suggestions for improvement are welcome and shall be greatfully acknowledged

14 STATEMENTS AND MATHEMATICAL STATEMENTS

141 Statement

It is a sentence which is complete in itself and explains its meanings completely eg Delhi is the capital of India

142 Mathematical StatementsA given statement is mathematical if either it is true or it is false but not both

143 Scientific StatementA given sentence will qualify as a scientific statement even if it may be true conditionally eg mass can be neither created nor destroyed

Foundation of Mathematics 13

15 CLASSIFICATION OF MATHEMATICAL STATEMENTS

1 axiom Mathematical statements which are accepted as truth without any formal proof given for it eg Equals added to equals are equals

2 Definition Mathematical statement which is used to explain the meaning of certain words used in the subject

Eg ldquoThe integers other than plusmn1 and 0 which are divisible by either one or by themselves are called prime integersrdquo

3 Theorems A mathematical statement which is accepted as lsquotruthrsquo only when a formal proof is given for it like summation of interior angles of a triangle is 180 degree is a theorem

151 ConjecturesIn mathematics a conjecture is an unproven proposition that appears correct For example every even integer greater than two can be expressed as a sum of two primes

152 Mathematical Reasoning

Reasoning is a process of logical steps that enables us to arrive at a conclusion In mathematics there are two types of reasoning These are as follows 1 inductive Reasoning Like that in mathematical induction 2 Deductive Reasoning Series of steps to deduct one mathematical statement from the other and

their proof which will be discussed in the text

16 WORKING ON MATHEMATICAL STATEMENTS

161 Negation of a Statement

The denial of a statement is called its negation To negate a statement we can use phrases like ldquoIt is falserdquo ldquois notrdquo Rita is at home rArr Rita is not at home

162 Compounding of Statements

Compounding of statements is defined as combining two or more component statements using the connecting words like lsquoandrsquo and lsquoorrsquo etc The new statement formed is called a compound statement

Compounding with OR

p x is odd prime numberq x is perfect square of integer

x is a odd prime or a perfect square integer

Compounding with AND

p 2 is a prime numberq 2 is an even number

2 is a prime and even natural number

NoteOR be inclusive or exclusive depending both conditions are simultaneously possible or not respectively

14 Mathematics at a Glance

17 IMPLICATION OF A STATEMENT

If two statement p and q are connected by the group of words lsquoifhellip thenhelliprsquo the resulting compound statement

lsquoif p then qrsquo is called lsquoconditional implicationsrsquo of p and q is written in symbolic form as lsquop rarr qrsquo (read as lsquop implies qrsquo)

eg p the pressure increases q the volume increasesThen implication of the statements p and q is given by p rarr q if the pressure increases then the

volume decreases

171 Converse of a Statement

it is given by p rArr q means q rArr pIf a integer n is even then n2 is divisible by 4 Converse is ldquoIf n2 is divisible by 4 then n must be evenrdquo

172 Contra Positive of a Statement p rArr q is ~q rArr ~p

If a triangle has two equal sides then it is isosceles triangle Its contrapositive is lsquoif a triangle is not isosceles then it has no two sides equalrsquo

18 TRUTH VALUE

The truth (T) or falsity (F) of any statement is called its truth value Eg every mathematical statement is either true or false Truth value of a true statement is (T) and that of a false statement is (F)

Given below in the table are Venn Diagrams and truth tables of various mathematical and logical operations

19 QUANTIFIERS

These are phrases like ldquothere exists $rdquo ldquofor all forallrdquo less than greater than etc For example there exist a polygon having its all sides equal is known as a regular polygon

191 Proofs in MathematicsWe can prove a mathematical statement in various ways which are categorized as straightforward Mathod of exhaustion Mathematical induction Using counter example Contradiction and Contrapositive statements

192 What is a Mathematical AssumptionA mathematical statement which is assumed to be true until a contradiction is achieved An assumed statement may prove to be false at a later stage of mathematical analysis

nuMbeR systeMWell Life without numbers is unpredictable Numbers have been used since ages to facilitate our transac-tions regarding trade exchange or other mathematical purposes Number system has successfully replaced the Bartar system of exchange In this text we will discuss the number system followed by mathematical analysis of real world problems Our present number system is known as Indo-Arabic number system

110 SET OF NATURAL NUMBERS

ℕ = x x is counting number) Counting numbers are called lsquonatural numbersrsquo and their set is denoted as = 1 2 3 4 5

16 Mathematics at a Glance

If 0 is not included in the set of natural numbers then we obtain whole numbers (W) W = 0 1 2 3

1101 Algebraic Properties of Natural Numbers

They are associative and commutative ie for all a b c in the set of natural numbersassociative law a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c a(bc) = (ab)ccommutative law a + b = b + a ab = ba

The cancellation law holds for natural numbers If a b c are natural numbers a + c = b + crArr a = b ac = bc rArr a = b (c is not equal to zero)

Distribution of multiplication over addition a(b + c) = ac + bc Order properties (i) law of trichomy Given any two natural numbers a and b exactly one of the following

holds a gt b or a lt b or a = b (ii) transitivity For each triplet of natural numbers a b c a gt b and b gt c implies that a gt c (iii) Monotone Property for addition and Multiplication For each triplet of natural

numbers a gt b rArr a + c gt b + c and ac gt bc existence of additive and multiplicative identity Zero is an additive identity element and 1 is

a multiplicative identity element existence of additive and multiplicative inverse For every integer x there always exists its

negative ndashx which when added to x makes additive identity Multiplicative inverse of x is an element which when multiplied to x makes multiplicative identity 1

111 SET OF INTEGERS

When negatives of natural numbers are included in a set of whole numbers then a set of integers is formed ℤ = ndash4 ndash3 ndash2 ndash1 0 1 2 3 4

112 GEOMETRICAL REPRESENTATION OF INTEGERS

Greek Mathematicians invented Geometrical method of representing numbers on a line known as lsquonumber linersquo In this method a point is marked as zero (0) and with respect to zero the numbers are located in order of their magnitude The distance of number (x) from zero represents its magnitude (|x|)

1121 Properties of Integers (a) It is closed commutative associative and distributive for addition subtraction and multiplication (b) Zero is the identity element for addition and 1 is the identity for multiplication

Foundation of Mathematics 17

(c) Additive inverse of x is equal to ndashx Q x+ (ndashx) = 0 (d) Multiplicative inverse of x is 1x provided x ne 0 as x 1x = 1 (e) Cancellation law holds for addition as well as multiplication (f) Property of order forall x y isinℤ either x gt y or x = y or x lt y Also known as law of trichomy

113 DIVISION ALGORITHM

Given are two integers a and b such that a gt b and b gt 0 then there exist two integers q and r such that a = bq + r where a dividend b divisor q quotient r remainder

Properties The remainder r is a non-negative integer which is less than the divisor b 0 le r lt b where r = 0 1 2 3 4 b ndash 1 If the remainder r = 0 then a = bq Then a is called completely divisible by b (ie multiple of b) and b and q are called factors of a

1131 Even and Odd Integers (a) Set of even integer = x x = 2k where k isin ℤ (b) Set of odd integers = x x = 2k + 1 where k isin ℤ

1132 Prime Integer

An integer x (other than 0 ndash1 and 1) is called prime iff it has only positive divisors as 1 and itself eg 2 3 5 7 etc

11321 Properties

An integer other than 0 ndash1 and 1 which are non-primes are called composite numbers A composite integer has atleast three factors

1 ndash1 0 are neither prime nor composite Twin Primes A pair of primes is said to be twin primes if they differ by 2 ie 3 5 and 11 13 etc Co-Primes A pair of integers is said to be co-primes if they have no common positive divisor except

1 eg 8 5 and 12 35 If p is prime and greater than or equal to 5 then p is either 6k + 1 or 6k ndash 1 but converse is not

necessarily true If p is prime and greater than 5 then p2 ndash 1 is always divisible by 24

114 FACTORIAL NOTATION

Factorial of r is denoted as r and is defined as product of first r natural numbers ie r = 1 2 3 4hellip (r ndash 1)reg 1 = 1 2 = 2 3 = 6 4 = 24 5 = 120 6 = 720 7 = 5040

Product of any r consecutive integer is always divisible by r

If a rational pq (in lowest term) is terminating decimal then q = 2m5n ie q must not contain any prime factor other than 2 or 5

Non-terminating but repeating decimals are also rationals eg y = xab ab ab helliphellip y xabrArr = helliphellip(i)

If number of repeating digits be n then multiply both side by 10n ie 210 y xabab= helliphellip(ii)

1162 nth Root of a NumberA real number y is called nth root of real number x where n is a natural number (n ge 2) Iff yn = x When n = 2 then it is called as square root and for n = 3 known as cube root All the numbers other than zero have more than one nth roots eg both 2 and ndash2 are square root of 4

1163 Principal nth RootThe principal nth root of a real number x (having atleast one n-th root) is that nth root which has its sign same as that of x It is denoted by a radical symbol n x

The positive integer n is known as the index of the radical symbol Usually we omit the index from the radical sign if index n = 2 and write as x

1164 Properties of nth Root

(i) Every positive real number x has exactly two real nth roots when n is a positive even natural number

(n = 2m) denoted by 2m 2mx and xminus are two real fourth roots of 256 eg 4 4256 4 256 4= minus = minus

(ii) Every real number x has only one real nth roots when n is a positive odd natural number

(n= 2m + 1) denoted by 2m 1 x+ eg 3 3125 5 125 5= = minus

(iii) nth root of a negative real number x is non-real when n is an even integer Eg 424 16minus minus has

no real values 1minus is a non-real number symbolized as i (iota)

(iv) Zero is only real number which has only one nth root and n 0 0= (v) Integers such as 1 4 9 16 25 and 49 are called perfect squares because they have integer

square roots (vi) Integers such as 1 8 27 64 are called perfect cubes as they have integer cube roots

119 MATHEMATICAL INDUCTION

Mathematical induction is a mathematical tool by which we can prove the correctness of any mathematical statement or proposition It works on the principle that results for higher integers are induced from the results for lower integers

Foundation of Mathematics 115

Statement Working RuleFirst principle of mathematical induction

The set of statements P(n) n isin N is true for each natural number n ge m is provided thatP(m) is trueP(k) is true for n = k (where k ge m)rArr P(n) is true for

n = k + 1

Let there be a proposition or a mathematical statement namely P(n) involving a natural num-ber n In order to prove that P(n) is true for all natural numbers n ge m we proceed as followsVerify that P(m) is trueAssume that P(k) is true (where k ge m)Prove that P(k + 1) is trueOnce step ndash (c) is completed after (a) and (b) we are through ie P(n) is true for all natural numbers n ge m

Second principle of mathematical induction

The set of statements P(n) n isin N is true for each natural number n ge m provided thatP(m) and P(m + 1) are true P(n) is true for n le k (where k ge m)rArr P(n) is true for

n = k + 1This is also called extended principle of Mathematical Induction

Verify that P(n) is true for n = m n = m + 1Assume that P(n) is true for n le k (where k ge m)Prove that P(n) is true for n = k + 1Once rule (c) is completed after (a) and (b) we are through That is P(n) is true for all natural numbers n ge m This method is to be used when P(n) can be expressed as a combination of P(n -1) and P(n - 2) In case P(n) turns out to be a combination of P(n -1) P(n - 2) and P(n -3) we can verify for n = m + 2 also in Rule(a)

1191 Ratio and ProportionRatio and proportions are algebraic operations which are operated on one or more variables as

Ratio It is a rational between two quantities that tells us what multiplepart one quantity is of the other Therefore if x and y are two quantities of the same kind then their ratio is x y which may be denoted by xy (This may be an integer or fraction)

1 A ratio may be represented in a number of ways eg x mx nxy my ny= = = where m nare

non-zero numbers 2 To compare two or more ratios always reduce them to a common denominator

3 Ratio of two fractions may be represented as the ratio of two integers eg x z xy xu y u zu yz

= or xu yz

4 Ratios are compounded by taking their product ie x z v xzv y u w yuw

=

5 Duplicatetriplicate ratio If x y is any ratio then its duplicate ratio is x2 y2 triplicate ratio is x3 y3 etc If xy is any ratio then its sub-duplicate ratio is x12 y12 sub triplicate ratio is x13 y13 etc

ProportionWhen two ratios ab and cd are equal then the four quantities composing them are said to be propor-tional If abcd are proportional then ab = cd and it is written as ab = cd or ab c d 1 lsquoarsquo and lsquodrsquo are known as extremes whereas lsquob and crsquo are called as means 2 Product of extremes = product of means

step (1) Express the coefficients of x y z beginning with y in cyclic order as shown in the figure and take the product of the coefficients indicated by arrows

step (2) The product formed by descending arrows is considered positive and those by ascending arrows is taken negative

step (3) So we get x y z (b1c2 ndash b2c1) (c1a2 ndash c2a1) (a1b2 ndash a2b1)

An equation of the form f(x)g(x) where f(x) and g(x) are polynomials in x is known as rational function of x and when equated to zero it generates a rational equation

To find the set of solution for inequality f(x) gt 0 (f(x) is polynomial)Factorize the polynomial and find all the roots eg f(x) = (x ndash a)3 (x ndash b)2 (x ndash d) (x ndash g)5 say a gt b gt d gt gLocate the roots (with their multiplicity) on the real number line Keep the sign expression in the

right-most interval same as that of the leading coefficient

expression x2 + y2 x2 + y2 ndash xy x3 + y3 + x2y + y2x x3 ndash y3 is not symmetric An expression is called cyclic in x y z iff cyclic replacement of variables does not change the

expression eg x + y + z xy + yz + zx etc Such expression can be abbreviated by cyclic sigma notation as follows Σx2 = x2 + y2 + z2 Σxy = xy + yz + zx

Σ(x ndash y) = 0 rArr x + y + z + x2 + y2 + z2 = Σx + Σx2

21 ExponEntial Function

If a is a positive real number then ax (a ne 1) is always positive and it is called lsquoexponential function of xrsquo Here a is called lsquobasersquo and x is called index

211 Properties of Exponential Functions

(i) As we know that = times times times forall isin

n

n times

a a a a n where a is called lsquobasersquo and n is index or exponent

Exponential function f(x) = ax is generalisation of this law to facilitate some useful applications with some imposed functional restrictions ie a gt 0 and a ne 1

(ii) Domain of f(x) is set of real number and range of f(x) is (0 infin) ie forall x isinℝ f(x) = ax associates x to some positive real number uniquely ie exponential function f(x) is defined such that it is invertible

(iii) For a lt 0 and a = 0 the function f(x) = ax loses its meaning for some values of x isin ℝ For instance for a = ndash1 ndash12 ndash3 etc

f(x) = ax becomes non-real forall =pxq

where p and q are co-prime and q is an even integer

eg (ndash3)32 (ndash1)14 etcSimilarly when base a = 0 then f(x) = 0x does not remain an one-to-one function which is required for invariability same restriction also holds for a = 1 Since then f(x) = 1x again becomes many one function as all inputs x get associated to single output 1Therefore we conclude that for f(x) = ax the base a gt 0 a ne 1 and x isin ℝ thus y isin (0 infin)

(iv) If the base a is Euler number lsquoersquo then the exponential function ex is known as natural exponential function

212 Laws of Indices

(i) ax is defined and ax gt 0 forall x isin ℝ (ii) a0 = 1 We can observe that rarrn a 1 as n assumes very large value (n rarr infin) and it is true for both

cases ie a gt 1 or a isin (0 1) therefore when n rarr infin = = =1n 0n a a a 1

input x increases It can be understood from the table given below

If the base a gt 1 then ax ge 1 for all x ge 0

214 Composite Exponential FunctionsA composite function is a function in which both the base and the exponent are the functions of x Generally any function of this form is a composite exponential function This function is also called an exponential power function or a power exponential function ie y = [u(x)]v(x) = uv In calculus the domain consists of such values of x for which u(x) and v(x) are defined and u(x) gt 0

215 Methods of Solving Exponential Equation

To solve an exponential equation we make use of the following facts

(i) If the equation is of the form ax = ay(a gt 0) rArr x = y or a = 1 (ii) If the equation is of the form ax = bx (a b gt 0) rArr either x = 0 or a = b (iii) If the equation is of the form ax = k (a gt 0) then

Case I If b ge 0 rArr x isin Case II If b gt 0 k ne 1 rArr x = logak Case III If a = 1 k ne 1 rArr x isin Case IV If a = 1 k = 1 rArr x isin ℝ(Since 1x = 1 rArr 1 = 1 x isin ℝ)

(iii) If the equation is of the form af(x) = ag(x) where a gt 0 and a ne 1 then the equation will be equivalent to the equation f(x) = g(x)

Remarksax = 1 rArr x = 0 is an incomplete conclusion it is only true if the base a ne 0 plusmn 1if a = 0 so equality does not holds as 00 is meaningless

Where as when a = 1 then an = 1 rArr 1x = 1 Thus x isin ℝ

In case a = ndash1 then (ndash1)x = 1 is true for x = pq when p is even and GCD of p and q = 1

22 Solving ExponEntial inEquality

(i) The value of ax increases as the value of x increases when base a isin (1 infin) but the value of ax de-

creases as the value of x increases when base a isin (0 1) ge gtge rArr le isin

x y x y if a 1a a

x y if a (01)

(ii) The elementary exponential inequalities are inequalities of form ax gt k ax lt k where a and k are certain numbers (a gt 0 a ne 1) Depending on the values of the parameters a and k the set of solutions of the inequality ax gt k can be in the following forms1 x isin (logak infin) for a gt 1 k gt 02 x isin (ndashinfin logak) for 0 lt a lt 1 k gt 03 x isin ℝ for a gt 0 k lt 0Depending on the values of a and k the set of solutions of the inequality ax lt k can be in the fol-lowing forms1 x isin (ndashinfin logak) for a gt 1 k gt 02 x isin (logak infin ) for 0 lt a lt 1 k gt 03 x isin for a gt 0 k lt 0 (ie the inequality has no solutions)

23 logaRitHMic Function

The logarithm of any number N to the given base a is the exponent or index or the power to which the base must be raised to obtain the number N Thus if ax = N x is called the logarithm of N to the base a It is denoted as logaN

loga N = x hArr ax = N a gt 0 a ne 1 and N gt 0

Notes

(a) The logarithm of a number is unique ie no number can have two different logarithms to a given base

(b) The base lsquoarsquo is a positive real number but excluding 1 ie a gt 0 a ne 1 As a consequence of the definition of exponential function we exclude a = 1

Since for a = 1 logax = y rArr x = ay = 1y which has no relevance to the cases of logax when x ne 1 ie for all values of exponent the value of x remains 1

(c) The number lsquoxrsquo represents result of exponentiation ie ay therefore it is also a positive real number ie x = ay gt 0

(d) The exponent lsquoyrsquo ie logarithm of lsquoxrsquo is a real number and neither a nor x equals to zero

(d) Domain of function y = logax is (0 infin) and the range (-infin infin)

when x rarr 0 then logax rarr-infin (for a gt 1) and logax rarr infin (for 0 lt a lt 1) because y = logax rArr x = ay which approaches to zero iff y rarr-infin as a-infin = 0 forall a gt 1 and when a isin (0 1) x = ay approaches to zero iff y rarr infin ∵ ainfin = 0 if 0 lt a lt 1

(e) Common Logarithms and Natural Logarithms The base of logarithm can be any positive number other than 1 but basically two bases are mostly used They are 10 and e (=2718 approximately) Logarithm of numbers to the base 10 are named as Common Logarithms whereas the logarithms of the numbers to the base e are called as Natural or Napierian logarithms

If a = 10 then we write log b instead of log10b

If a = e then we write ℓnb instead of logeb

We find logea = log10a loge10 or e10

e

log alog a 0434

log 10= = logea (this transformation is used to convert

natural logarithm to common logarithm)

231 Properties of Logarithm

P 1 loga 1 = 0 because 0 is the power to which a must be raised to obtain 1 P 2 logaa = 1 since 1 is the power to which a must be raised to obtain a P 3 alogaN = N and logaa

N = N as N is the power to which a must be raised to obtain aN P 4 logm(ab) = logm a + logmb (a gt 0 b gt 0) Logarithm of the product of two numbers to a certain base

is equal to the sum of the logarithms of the numbers to the same base

Exponential Logarithm 233

P 5 logm (ab) = logma-logmb logarithm of the quotient of two numbers is equal to the difference of their logarithms base remaining the same throughout

P 6 loga Nk = k logaN (k is any real number) Logarithm of the power of a number is equal to the product

of the power and logarithm of the number (base remaining the same) P 7 logak N = (1k)loga N

Note

(1) The property 4 5 6 7 are not applicable conditionally because logaM + logaN is defined only when M and N are both positive whereas logaMN is defined even if M and N are both negative Therefore logaMN cannot be always replaced by logaM + logaN Therefore such replacement can lead to loss of root while solving an equation

(2) Thus to avoid the loss of root we consider the following transformations

(a) logaMN = loga |M| + loga |N| (when MN gt 0)

(b) a a a

minus

If the differences of the successive terms (dkrsquos) of a series are in AP or GP then we can find nth term of the series by the following procedureStep 1 Denote the nth term and the sum of the series upto n terms of the series by Tn and Sn respectivelyStep 2 Rewrite the given series with each term shifted by one place to the rightStep 3 Then substract the second expression of Sn from the first expression to obtain Tn

Remarks

(a) Difference of successive terms is constant then nth term is given by Tn = a + bn (where a and b is constant)Sn = S Tn

(b) If difference of difference is constant then Tn = an2 + bn + c (where a b c are constant)

(c) If difference of difference is constant then Tn=an3 + bn2 + cn + d (where a b c d are constant)

Tips and TricksThe truth of the following statements will be readily admitted

1 If all the coefficients are real then the imaginary roots occurs in pairs (ie number of complex roots is always even)

2 If the degree of a polynomial equation is odd then the number of real roots will also be odd It follows than at least one of the roots will be real

3 Every equation of an odd degree has at least one real root whose sign is opposite to that of its last term

4 Every equation which is of even degree and has its last term negative has at least two real roots one positive and one negative

10 If the equation contains only even powers of x and the coefficients are all of the same sign the equation has no real root Thus the equation 2x6 + 3x4 + x2 + 7 = 0 cannot have a real root

11 If the equation contains only odd powers of x and the coefficients are all of the same sign the equation has no real root except x = 0 Thus the equation x9 + 2x5 + 3x3 + x = 0 has no real root except x = 0

12 If there is no change in sign then all the roots are imaginary

Permutations and combinations is the art of counting without counting ie we study various principles and techniques of counting to obtain the total number of ways an event can occur without counting each and every way individually

62 Fundamental PrinciPles oF counting

621 Addition Rule

If an event (operation) E1 can occur in n1 ways E2 can occur in n2 ways hellip and Ek can occur in nk ways (where k ge 1) And these ways for the above events to occur are pair-wise disjoint then the number of

ways for at least one of the events (E1 E2 E3 hellip or Ek) to occurs is (n1 + n2 + n3 + hellip + nk) = i k

where |Ai|

denotes the number of elements in the set Ai

622 Multiplication RuleIf an event E can be decomposed into n ordered event E1 E2 hellip Er and that there are n1 ways for the event E1 to occurs n2 ways for the event E2 to occur hellip nr ways for the event Er to occur Then the total number

of ways for the event E to occur is given by n(E1 and E2 and hellip and Er) = r

623 Complementation Rule

If A and A are two complementary sets and S be universal set thenQ ( )n(A) + n A = n(S) rArr = minusn(A) n(S) n(A)

So we count n(A) or n(A) whichever is easier to count then subtract from n(S) to get the other

625 Injection and Bijection Principles

Suppose that a group of n students attend a lecture in a lecture theater which has 100 seats assuming that no student occupies more than one seat and no two students share a seat if it is known that every student has a seat then we must have n le 100 If it known furthermore that no seat is vacant then we are sure that n = 100 without actually counting the number of students

6251 Injection principle (IP)

Let A and B be two finite sets if there is an injection from A to B then |A| le |B|

6252 Bijection principle (BP)

Let A and B be two finite sets if there is a bijection from A to B then |A| = |B|

63 combinations and Permutations

Each of the groups or selections which can be made by taking some or all of a number of things without considering the order in which the objects are taken is called a combination Whereas a selection of objects where the order in which the objects are taken is also taken into account is called as an arrangementpermutation

To understand the concept of combination and permutation let us consider the combinations which can be made by taking the letters from a b c d two at a time namely

NoteFrom the above illustration it is simply clear that in combinations we are only concerned with the number of things each selection contains without taking into account the order in which the objects are being selected (ie ab and ba are regarded as same selection) Whereas in permutation the order of objects is taken into account

Thus if the p like things and the q like things were all different we would have got Npq permutations in all The process is continued untill all the sets of like things are different and we then get the number of permutations of n things taken all at a time when they are all different (which is n)

67 circular Permutation

The arrangement of objects around a circle is called lsquocircular permutationrsquo Two circular permutations are called identical iff one of them can be super imposed on the other by a suitable rotation without overturn-ing and without changing the relative position of object eg following 5 circular permutations are identical

671 Circular Permutation of n ObjectsWhen lsquonrsquo distinct objects (A1 A2 A3 An) are to be arranged around a circle then each circular arrangement generates lsquonrsquo number of distinct linear arrangements by rotating the objects around the

circle by 0360

n

at a time (keeping their relative position fixed)

rArr Each circular array generates lsquonrsquo linear permutation Let the total number of circular array be x

rArr Number of linear arrays = nx rArr nx = n rArr nx = n 1n

= minus

Remark bull As in circular permutation (unlike linear permutations) there is no initial and terminal position

therefore fixing the position of one object around the circle its position acts as a terminal consequently the remaining (n ndash 1) positions become as distinct as in linear permutations Therefore rest of (n ndash 1) object can be arranged in these position in (n ndash 1) ways

Permutation and Combination 1669

ExplanationIn a circular permutation the relative position among the things is important whereas the place of a thing has no significance Thus in a circular permutation the first thing can be placed anywhere This operation can be done only in one way then relative order begins Thus the ways for performing remaining parts of the operation can be calculated just like the calculation of linear permutation for an example to place 8 different things round a circle first we place any one thing at any place there will be only one numbers of ways = 7 Thus required number of circular permutations if 7

bull Since each circular arrangement has its unique counter-clockwise arrangement therefore the number

of clockwise array = number of counter-clockwise arrays = minus( n 1)2

bull In a garland of flowers or a necklace of beads (since the overturning of permutations is possible) It is difficult to distinguish clockwise and anti-clockwise orders of things so a circular permutation under both these orders (the clockwise and anti-clockwise) is considered to be the same

Therefore the number of ways of arranging n beads along a circular wire is minus( n 1)2

681 Divisor of Composite NumberA natural number x = pa qb rg is called divisor of N = pa qb rc iff N is completely divisible by x For Example when all the prime factors of x are present in N which is possible only if 0 le a le a 0 le b le b and 0 le g le c where a b g isin ℕ cup 0

bull Set of all divisors of N is given as x x = pa qb rg where 0 le a le a 0 le b le b 0 le g le c

bull Number of divisor number of divisors = n(a b g) 0 le a le a 0 le b le b 0 le g le c= na 0 le a le a times nb 0 le b le b times ng 0 le g le c = (a + 1) (b + 1) (c + 1)

bull Number of divisors are given by number of distinct terms in the product= (1+ p + p2 + + pa) (1+ q + q2 + + qb) (1+ r + r2 + + rc)= (a + 1) (b + 1) (c + 1) (which includes 1 and the N it self)

682 Sum of Divisor

Since each individual divisor is given as terms of the expansion (p0 + p1 + p2 + + pa) (1+ q + q2 + + qb) (1+ r + r2 + + rc) therefore the sum of all divisors is = 1 + p + q + r + p2 + q2 + r2 + pq + pr ++ pa qb rc

rArr The number of proper divisors of N = (a + 1)(b + 1)(c + 1) ndash 2

bull If p = 2 then number of even divisors = a(b + 1)(c + 1) number of odd divisors = (b + 1)(c + 1)

684 Factorizing a Number into Two Integer FactorsIf x and y be two factors of the Natural Number N = pa qb rc N = xy

rArr x and y are divisors of N

Permutation and Combination 1671

Case I If number N is not a perfect square

Number of two factor products (number of total divisors)= 2

Case II If number N is a perfect square

Number of two factor products (number of total divisors) + 1= 2

Case III Number of integer solution of equation xy = pa qb rc sd = 2 times total number of divisor

Since number of natural number solution of the equation

xy = pa qb rc sd = Number of divisors = (a + 1) (b + 1) (c + 1) (d + 1)

rArr Number of integer solution of the equation = 2(a + 1) (b + 1) (c + 1) (d + 1)

1 Combination when some objects are identical The total number of ways in which it is possible to make a selection taking some or all out of (p + q + r) things where p are alike of the first kind q are alike of the second kind and r alike of the third kind and s are different = (p + 1) (q + 1) (r + 1) 2s ways

Explanation Out of p alike things we may select none or one or two or three or all p Hence they may be disposed off in (p + 1) ways Similarly q alike things may be disposed of in (q + 1) ways similarly for r And s different things may be disposed of in 2s ways (This includes the case in which all of them are rejected)

bull Number of ways (if at least one object to be selected) = (p + 1) (q + 1) (r + 1) 2s ndash1 bull Number of ways (if at least one from s different object to be selected) = (p + 1) (q + 1)(r + 1) (2s ndash1) bull Number of ways (if at least one object of each identical type lot is to be selected) = (p q r)2s

Cminus

= minussum according as r le p or r gt p

Explanation It can be obtained by assuming the selection of k distinct object and rest r ndash k objects identical and taking the values of variable k from 0 to r (or p) whichever is less

For an instance when no object is selected from identical objects (k = 0) then the number of selection = nndashpCr

And when one object is selected from identical objects (k = 2) then the number of selection = nndashpCrndash1Similarly for k = 3 the number of selection = nndashpCrndash2 and so on

Notes

(i) The number of ways of selecting r objects out of n identical objects is 1

(ii) The number of ways of selecting any number of objects out of n identical objects is n + 1

610 distribution

6101 Distribution Among Unequal Groups

To find the number of ways in which m + n things can be divide into two groups containing m and n things respectively This is clearly equivalent to finding the number of combinations of m + n things taking m at a time for every time we select a group of m things we leave a group of n things behind

Thus the required number = (m n)mn+

Permutation and Combination 1675

6102 To Find the Number of Ways in Which the m + n + p Things Can be Divided into Three Groups Containing m n p Things Separately

First divide the m + n + p things into two groups containing m and n + p things respectively the number

of ways in which this can be done is m+n+pCm = (m n p)m(n p)+ +

+ And the number of ways in which the group of

n + p things can be divided into two groups containing n and p things respectively is n pn

the number of ways in which the subdivision into three groups containing m n p things can be made follows

6103 Distribution Among Equal Groups

When name of groups is not specified If 2m objects are to be distributed among two equal groups

containing m objects each Then it can be done in (m m)m m2

+ = 2

2m(m) 2

because each division it is possible

to arrange the groups into 2 ways without obtaining new distributionExplanation Then we divide the total number of arrangements obtained normally by k where k is |

number of groups among which the objects are distributed If we put n = p = m we obtain3m

but since this include 3 times the actual number of divisions because of the arrangement of groups among them selves therefore the number of different ways in which subdivision into three equal groups can

be made is =3m

Chapter 9trigonometriC ratios and identities

91 INTRODUCTION

The word lsquotrigonometryrsquo is derived from two Greek words (i) trigon (means a triangle) and (ii) metron (means a measure) Therefore trigonometry means science of measuring the sides of angles and study of the relations between side and angles of triangle

92 ANgle

Angle is defined as the measure of rotation undergone by a given revolving ray OX in a plane about its initial point O The original ray OX is called the initial side and the final position (OP) of the ray after rotation is called the terminal side of the angle angXOP The point of rotation (O) is called the vertex

921 Rules for Signs of Angles

bull If initial ray OA rotates to terminal ray OA then angle = q (rotation anti clockwise)

bull If initial ray OA rotates to terminal ray OB then angle = ndashq (rotation clockwise) where q is the measure of rotation

922 Measurement of AngleThe measurement of angle is done under the following three systems of measurement of angles

9221 Sexagesimal or english system

1 right angle = 900 (degrees) 10 = 60 (minutes)1 = 60 (seconds)

9222 Centesimal or french system (Grade)

1 right angle = 100g (grades) 1g = 100 (minutes)1 = 100 (seconds)

988 Mathematics at a Glance

RemarkThe minutes and seconds in the sexagesimal system are different them the respective minutes and seconds in the centesimal system Symbols in both there systems are also different

9223 Radian measure or circular measurement

One radian corresponds to the angle subtended by arc of length r (radius) at the centre of the circle with radius r Since the ratio is independent of the size of a circle it follows that a radian is a dimensionless quantity

Length of an arc of a circle θ = =arc lengthlAngle (in radians)

r radiusRelation between radian and degree πc = 180deg

In hand working tips

bull The unit radian is denoted by c (circular measure) and it is customary to omit this symbol c Thus

when an angle is denoted as 2π

it means that the angle is 2π

radians where p is the number with approximate value 314159

bull D G R

180 200= =

deg π where D G and R denotes degree grades and radians respectively

bull The angle between two consecutive digits in a clock is 30deg (p6 rad) The hour hand rotates through an angle of 30deg in one hour

bull The minute hand rotate through an angle of 6deg in one minute

93 POlygON AND ITs PROPeRTIes

A closed figure surrounded by n straight lines is called a polygon It is classified in two ways bull A closed figure surrounded by n straight lines bull If all sides of a polygon are equal then it is regular polygon bull Convex Polygon A polygon in which all the internal angles are smaller than 180deg bull Concave Polygon A polygon in which at least one internal angles is larger

than 180deg

Properties bull An angle is called reflexive angle if it is greater than or equal to 180deg or p radians bull Sum of all internal angles of a convex polygon = (n ndash 2) pc = (n ndash 2) 180deg

bull Each internal angle of regular polygon of n sides = (n 2)

941 Signs of Trigonometric Ratios

Consider a unit circle with centre at origin of the coordinate axes Let P(a b) be any point on the circle with angle AOP = x radian ie length of arc AP = x as shown in the following figure

We defined cos x = a and sin x = b Since DOMP is a right triangle we have OM2 + MP2 = OP2 or

a2 + b2 = 1Thus for every point on the unit circle we have a2 + b2 = 1 or cos2x + sin2x = 1 Accordingly we can

judge the sign of a trigonometric function by comparing it with the sign of respective coordinates in that particular quadrant

Here we discuss problems related to the solution of two equations satisfied simultaneously We may divide the problems into two categories as shown by the following diagram

When number of equations is more than or equal to number of variables

Trigonometric Equation 10107

∎ Single variable problems with intermediate values

Step 1 Find the values of variable x satisfying both equations

Step 2 Find common period of function used in both the equation say T and obtain x = α isin(0 T] sat-isfying both the equations

Step 3 Generalizing the value of α we get x = nT + α

∎ Single variable problem with extreme values

Step 1 When LHS and RHS of a equation have their ranges say R1 and R2 in common domain and R1 cap R2 = f then the equations have no solution

Step 2 If R1 cap R2 have finitely many elements and the number of elements are few then individual cases can be analyzed and solved

Step 3 Generalizing the value of α we get x = nT + α

1091 More Than One Variable Problems

bull Substitute one variable (say y) in terms of other variable x ie eliminate y and solve as the trigonometric equations in one variables

bull Extract the linearalgebraic simultaneous equations from the given trigonometric equations and solve as simultaneous algebric equations

bull Many times you may need to make appropriate substitutions bull When number of variables is more than number of equations To solve an equation involving more than one variable definite solutions can be obtained if extreme

values (range) of the functions are used

10911 Some important results

1 While solving a trigonometric equation squaring the equations at any step should be avoided as far as possible If squaring is necessary check the solution for extraneous values

2 Never cancel terms containing unknown terms on the two sides which are in product It may cause loss of the genuine solution

3 The answer should not contain any such values of angles which make any of the terms undefined or infinite

4 Domain should not change If it changes necessary corrections must be made 5 Check that denominator is not zero at any stage while solving equations

To solve the equation when the terms on the two side (LHS and RHS) of the equation are of different nature eg trigonometric and algebraic we use inequality method Which is used to verify whether the given equation has any real solution or not In this method we follow the steps given below

10108 Mathematics at a Glance

Step I If given equation is f(x) = g(x) then let y = f(x) and y = g(x) ie break the equation in two parts

Step II Find the extreme values of both sides of equation giving range of values of y for both side If there is any value of y satisfying both the inequalities then there will be a real solution otherwise there will be no real solution

rArr ( k) satisfying both the curves y f(x) and y g(x)α = =

Solutions of equation f(x) ndash g(x) = 0 are abscissa (x-co-ordinate) of the point of intersection of the graph y = f(x) and y = g(x)

Algorithm To solve the equation f(x) ndash g(x) = 0 eg 10sinx ndash x = 0

Step 1 Write the equation f(x) = g(x) ie sinx = x10

Step 2 Draw the graph of y = f(x) and y = g(x) on same x ndash y plane

Let f(x) = sinx and g(x) = x

also we know that -1 le sinx le 1

-1 le x

Thus sketching both the curves when x isin [minus10 10]

Step 3 Count the number of the points of intersection If graphs of y = f(x) and y = g(x) cuts at one two three no points then number of solutions are one two three zero respectively

From the given graph we can conclude that f(x) = sinx and g(x) = x

10 intersect at 7 points So number

Case 2 When two sides and the included angle of the triangle are given Let b c and A be given then lsquoarsquo can be found from the formula a2 = b2 + c2 ndash 2bc cos A

Now angle B can be found from the formulae 2 2 2c a bcosB

2ac+ minus

= and C from

C = 180deg ndash A ndash B

Another way to solve such triangle is first to find B C2minus by using the formulae

B C b c Atan cot2 b c 2minus minus = +

and therefore by addition and subtraction B and C and the third side lsquoarsquo by

cosine formula a2 = b2 + c2 ndash 2bc cos A or bsin A

asinB

= or a = b cos C + c cos B

Case 3 When two angles and the included side of a triangle are givenLet angle B C and side a be given The angle A can be found fromA = 180deg - B - C and the sides b and c from sine rule

a b csin A sinB sinC

= = ie a sinBbsin A

= and a sinCcsin A

=

Case 4 Ambiguous CaseWhen two sides (say) a and b and the angle (say) A opposite to one side a are given There are following three possibilities

11112 Mathematics at a Glance

(i) Either there is no such triangle (ii) One triangle (iii) Two triangles which have the same given elements

We have b asinB sin A

= rArr bsin AsinB

a= hellip (1)

Also c2 ndash 2 (b cos A) c + b2 ndash a2 = 0 (2)

gives 2 2 2c bcos A a b sin A= plusmn minus (3)Now the following cases may raise

(a) When a lt b sin A rArr sin B gt 1 form equation (1) or from equation (3) c is imaginary which is impossible Hence no triangle is possible

(b) When b sin A = a rArr from equation (1) sin B = 1 rArr B = 90deg and from equation (3) c = b cos A This value of c is admissible only when b cos A is positive ie when the angle A is acute In such a

case a lt b (b sin A = a) or A lt B Hence only one definite triangle is possible

Note

In this case a = b is not possible since A = B = 90deg which is not possible Since no triangle can have two right angles

(c) When b sin A lt a and sin B lt 1 from (4) In this case there are three possibilities (i) If a = b then A = B and from equation (3) we get c = 2b cos A or 0 Hence in this case we get

only one triangle (since in this case it is must that A and B are acute angles) (ii) If a lt b then A lt B Therefore A must be an acute angle b cos A gt 0 Further a2 lt b2 rArr a2 lt b2 (cos2 A + sin2 A)

rArr 2 2 2a b sin A bcos Aminus lt From equation (3) it is clear that both values of c are positive so we get two triangles such that

and 2 22c bcos A a b sin A= minus minus

It is also clear from equation (1) that there are two values of B which are supplementary

(iii) If a gt b then A gt B also a2 - b2 sin2 A gt b2 cos2 A or 2 2 2a b sin A bcos Aminus gt

Hence one value of c is positive and other is negative for any value of angle A Therefore we get only one solution Since for given values of a b and A there is a doubt or ambiguity in the determination of the triangle Hence this case is called ambiguous case of the solution of triangles

Let a b and the angle A be given Draw a line AX At A construct angle angXAY = A Cut a segment AC = b from AY Now describe a circular arc with its centre C and radius a Also draw CD perpendicular to AX

CD = b sin A The following cases may arise

Properties of Triangles 11113

(a) If a lt b sin A ie a lt CD then the circle will not meet AX and hence there is no triangle satisfying the given condition

(b) If a = b sin A the circle will touch AX at D (or B) and only one right angled triangle is possible In this case B = 90deg and A lt 90deg

(c) If a = b (angA ne 90deg) then the circle will cut AX at B and passes through A Hence here we get only one solution of given data (as shown in the figure)

(d) If a gt b sin A then the circle will cut AX at two distinct points (other than A) Let the point be B1 and B2Sub-case 1 If b sin A lt a lt b then both B1 and B2 are on the same side of A as shown in the figure and we get two distinct triangles ACB1 and ACB2

Sub-case 2 If a gt b then the two points B1 and B2 are on the opposite sides of A and only one of the triangle ACB1 or ACB2 will satisfy the given data If A is an acute angle then DCAB2 is the required triangle and if A is obtuse angle then DAB1C is the required triangle

The circle which passes through the angular points of a triangle is called its circumscribing circle or more briefly circumcircle The centre of this circle is called circumcentre Generally it is denoted by O and its radius always denoted by R Another property of circum centre is that it is the point of concurrency of perpendicular bisectors of sides of a triangle

The circle which can be inscribed within the triangle so as to touch each of the sides is called its in-scribed circle or more briefly its incircle The centre of this circle is called incentre It is denoted by I and its radius always denoted by r In-centre is the point of concurrency of internal angles bisectors of the triangle

Let ABC be a triangle and I be the centre of incircle Let IA IB IC be the centres of the escribed circles which are opposite to A B and C respectively then IA IB IC is called the ex-central triangle of D ABC By geometry IC bisects the angle ACB and IBC bisects the angle ACM

ang ICIB = angACI + angACIB = 12

ang ACB + 12

ang ACM = 12

ang (180deg) = 90deg

Similarly ang ICIA = 90deg

11118 Mathematics at a Glance

Hence IA IB is a straight line perpendicular to IC Similarly AI is perpendicular to the straight line IBIC and BI is perpendicular to the straight line IA IC

Also since IA and IAA both bisect the angle BAC hence A I and IA are collinear Similarly BIIB and CIIC are straight lines

Hence IA IB IC is a triangle thus the triangle ABC is the pedal triangle of its ex-central triangle IA IB IC The angles IBIA and ICIA are right angles hence the points B I C IA are concyclic Similarly C I A IB and the points A I B IC are concyclic

The lines AIA BIB CIC meet at the incentre I which is therefore the orthocentre of the ex-central triangle IA IB IC

Remarks

1 Each of the four points I IA IB IC is the orthocente of the triangle formed by joining the other three points

The equation sin x = y and x = sinndash1 y are not identical because the former associates many values of x of a single value of y while the latter associates a single x to a particular value of y To assign a unique angle to a particular value of trigonometric ratio we introduce a term called principle range

It is a set of fixed pointslinesurfaces with respect to which the following observations are made ∎ Rectangular co-ordinate System ∎ Oblique co-ordinate System ∎ Polar co-ordinate System

1321 Rectangular Co-ordinate SystemAny point P in (x y) plane can be represented by unique ordered pair of two real numbers (x y) Here x is abscissa of point (OM or PN) Y is ordinate of point (ON or PM)

Sign ConventionTherefore the x-y plane (Cartesian plane) is algebraically represented as Cartesian product of two set of real numbers

So called as ℝ times ℝ (ℝ2) plane ℝ times ℝ = (x y) x isin ℝ and y isin ℝ

ℝ+ times ℝ+ = 1 quadrant ℝndash times ℝ+ = 2nd quadrant ℝndash times ℝndash = 3rd quadrant ℝ+ times ℝndash = 4th quadrant

1322 Polar Co-ordinate SystemIt consist of a fixed point O which is known as pole and semi-infinite ray OX which is called initial line ∎ The polar coordinate of any point P is given as (r q) where r is the distance

of point P from pole O is lsquorrsquo and the angle angXOP = q

136 locus oF poInt And EquAtIon oF locus

The path traced by a moving point P(x y) is called locus of P The equation of locus is a relation in the variable x and y which is satisfied by the coordinates of the moving point P(which moves under given geometrical restriction) at any position on its path

That is if f(x y) = 0 is satisfied by (a b) forall (a b) lying on the path then its called equation of locus

Method to Find Equation of Locus

Step I Let coordinate of point P be (h k) and apply the condition given to express h and k as a function of some parameter (q a b t l etc )

Step II Eliminate the parameters to relate h and k

Step III In the equation between h and k therefore obtained replace h by x and k by y to get equation of locus

1361 Union of LociLocus is a set of points that follow a given relation in x and y

Given two loci S1 and S2 defined as belowS1 (x y) S = f (x y) = 0 and S2 (x y) S = g(x y) =0Union of loci S = 0 and S = 0 is set of those points which lie ether

on S = 0 or S = 0 rArr S1 cup S2 = (x y) f(x y) = 0 or g(x y) = 0 And its equation is given

as S S = 0 ie f(x y) g(x y) = 0

1362 Intersection of LociIntersection of loci S = 0 and S = 0 is defined as set of those points which lie on both the curves S = 0 and S = 0 That is set of common points

rArr S1 cap S2 = (x y) f(x y) = 0 or g(x y) = 0 and its equation is given as

rArr |f(x y)| + |g(x y)| = 0 or |S| + |S| = 0 or radicS + radicS = 0 or S2 + S2 = 0

1363 Locus Passing Through Intersection of Two Locus

Given two loci S = 0 and S = 0 defined as ( )( )x y S f(x y) 0x y S g(x y) 0

= =

= = The equation S + lS = 0 represents a family of curve

passing through A and B that is intersection of S = 0 and S = 0 where l is a real parameterDiscussion S + lS = 0 rArr f(x y) + lg(x y) = 0Represent infinitely many curve due to parameter l and since both point A and B satisfy the above equation because f(a b) = g(a b) = f(g d) = g(g d) = 0

rArr f(a b) + lg(a b) = 0 + l0 = 0

In order to solve any general geometric problem conveniently a suitable choice of origin and proper selection of coordinate axes can be considered but care must be taken that during such selection the generality of the problem is not lost So any assumption is regarded as perfectly general iff by shifting the origin to a suitable point and rotating the coordinate axes by some angle the most general case can be transformed to assumed case

Any geometric operation undergoing through which the coordinate of the point changes It is of two types (i) Linear Transformation A transformation in which the origin of reference frame does not

change and the new coordinate obtained are linear function of old coordinate ie xrsquo = ax + by and yrsquo = cx + dy is called linear transformation

(ii) Non-linear Transformation In such a transformation the straight line remains straight The remaining transformations are called non-linear transformation

141 Definition

A straight line is a curve such that every point on the line segment joining any two points lie on it or in other words straight line is the locus of a point which moves such that the slope of line segment joining any two of its position remains constant

1411 Equation of Straight Line

A relation between x and y which is satisfied by coordinates of every point lying on a line is called the equation of straight line Every first degree equation in x y ie ax + by + c = 0 represents a line Thus a line which is also defined as the locus of a point satisfying the condition ax + by + c = 0 where a b c are constant

∎ Equation of straight line parallel to axes (i) Equation of a straight line which is parallel to x-axis and at a distance b units from it is given by

y = b b gt or lt 0 according as it is in positive or negative side

equation of x-axis is y = 0 (ii) Similarly for any line parallel to the y axis and at a distance a unit from it is given by x = a

a gt or a lt 0 according as the line lies on positive or negative sides of the x-axis ∎ The combined equation of the coordinate axis is xy = 0

152 definiton of circle

A circle is the locus of a point moving in a plane so that its distance from a fixed point remains constant The fixed point is called centre of the circle and the constant distance is called the radius of the circle

Radical axis of S = 0 and Sprime = 0 is the locus of the point from which the tangents drawn to the two circles are of equal lengths Its equation is given by S ndash Sprime = 0 ( only if coefficients of x2 y2 in both circles are same)

Remarks

(i) If the circles S = 0 and Sprime= 0 intersect each other then their common chord and their radical axis coincide Thus they have the same eqn S ndash Sprime = 0

(ii) If two circles touch each other then their radical axis coincides with their common tangent at their point of contact The equation is again S ndashSprime= 0

bullRadical Centre The common point of intersection of the radical axes of three circles taken two at a time is called the radical centre of the three circles

Tips and Tricks

1 If two circles do not intersect (c1c2 gt r1 + r2) then they have two transverse and two direct common tangents

2 If two circles intersect (c1c2 lt r1 + r2) then they have two direct tangents only

3 If two circles touch externally (c1c2 = r1 + r2) then they have one transverse and two direct common tangents

4 If two circles touch internally (c1c2 = r1 ndash r2) then they have only one common tangent

5 If the point P lies outside the circle then the polar and the chord of contact of this point P are same straight line

6 If the point P lies on the circle then the polar and the tangent to the circle at P are same straight line

161 IntroductIon to conIc SectIonS

A conic section or conic is the locus of a point which moves in a plane so that its distance from a fixed point is in a constant ratio to its perpendicular distance from a fixed straight line Conic sections are section obtained when a pair of two vertical cones with same vertex are intersected by a plane in various orientation The point V is called vertex and the line L1 is Axis

The rotating line L2 is called as generator of the cone the vertex separates the cone into two parts known as nappes

Nature of conic sections depends on the position of the intersecting plane with respect to the cone and the angle f made by it with the vertical axis of the cone

Circle When f = 90deg the section is a circle

Ellipse When q ltflt 90deg the section is an ellipse

Parabola If plane is parallel to a generator of the cone (ie when f = q) then section is a parabola

Parabola 16163

Hyperbola When 0 le f lt q the plane cuts through both the nappes and the curves of intersection is hyperbola

Degenerated Conics

When the plane cuts at the vertex of the cone we have the different cases

When q lt f le 90deg then the section is a point

When 0 le f lt q then the section is a pair of intersecting straight lines It is the degenerated case of a hyperbola

Whenf= q then the plane contains a generator of the cone and the section is a coincident straight line

1611 Definition of Various Terms Related to Conics

Focus The fixed point is called the focus of the conic section

Eccentricity The constant ratio (e) is called the eccentricity of the conic section

Directrix The fixed straight line is called the directrix

Axis The straight line passing through the focus and perpendicular to the directrix is called the axis of the conic section

Vertex The point of intersection of conic and the axis are called vertices of conic section

Centre The point which bisects every chord of the conic passing through it is called centre of the conic

Double Ordinate A chord perpendicular to the axis is called double ordinate (normal chord) of the conic section The double ordinate passing through the focus is called the latus rectum

Points A B and C lie on the parabola y2 = 4ax The tangents

to the parabola at A B and C taken in pairs intersect at points P Q and R respectively then the ratio of the areas of the DABC and DPQR is 2 1

Tangent at any point on parabola bisects the internal angle between focal distances SP and PM

Normal at P bisects the external angle between SP and PM The portion of the tangent intercepted between axis and point

Conjugate diameter Two diameters are said to be conjugate if each bisects all chords parallel to the other

If conjugate diameters are perpendicular to each other then ellipse becomes a circle The eccentric angles of the ends of a pair of conjugate diameters of an ellipse differ by a right angle The sum of squares of any two conjugate semi-diameters of an ellipse is constant and is equal to sum

of the squares of the semi-axes of the ellipse The product of the focal distances of a point on an ellipse is equal to the square of the semi-diameter

which is conjugate to the diameter through the point The tangents at the extremities of a pair of conjugate diameters form a parallelogram whose area is

constant and is equal to the area of rectangle formed by major and minor axis lengths

It is the locus of a point P whose ratio of distance from a fixed point (S) to a fixed line (Directrix) remains constant (e) is known as the eccentricity of hyperbola (e gt 1)

Chapter 19Complex Number

191 IntroductIon

While working with real numbers (ℝ) we would not find relations to equations such as x2 + 9 = 0 () So to look forward we have to difine another set of number systems

1911 Imaginary Numbers (Non-real Numbers)

A number whose square is non-positive is termed as an imaginary number eg 2 or (1 2)minus + minus

Iota Euler introduced the symbol i for the number 1minus It is known as iota (a Greek word for

lsquoimaginaryrsquo) Thus 2 2iminus = and + minus = +1 2 1 2i are imaginary numbers

Remark (i) Imaginary numbers do not follow the property of order ie for z1 and z2 imaginary numbers we

cannot say which one is greater Since i is neither positive nor negative nor zero

(ii) Here non-possible does not imply negative eg 1 2+ minus is also non-positive

1912 Purely Imaginary Numbers (I)

The number z whose square is non positive real number (negative or zero) is termed as purely imaginary

number For example 5minus ie I = z z = ai where a isin ℝ and i =

19121 Geometrical representation of purely imaginary numbers

Single multiplication by i is equivalent to geometrical rotation of number by p2 radians anti-clockwise

Therefore purely imaginary numbers are represented as points lying on y axis of argand plane For example z = ai is represented by point (0 a) on y axis as shown here

19190 Mathematics at a Glance

Remarks 1 The plane formed by real and imaginary axes is called ArgandGaussianComplex Plane

2 It should be kept in mind that any equation not having real roots does not necessarily posses imaginary roots For example the equation x + 5 = x + 7 is neither satisfied by real numbers nor is satisfied by imaginary numbers

non-negative real number ie both a and b are non-negative

192 complex number

A number z resulting as a sum of a purely real number x and a purely imaginary number iy is called a

complex number ie a number of the form z = x + iy where x y isin ℝ and = minusi 1 is called a complex number Here x is called real part and y is called imaginary part of the complex number and they are expressed as Re(z) = x Im (z) = y A complex z = x + iy number may also be defined as an ordered pair of real numbers and may be denoted by the symbol (x y)

The set of complex numbers is denoted by ℂ and is given by = z z = x + iy where x y isin ℝ and = minusi 1

193 ArgAnd plAne

Any complex number z = a + ib can be written as an ordered pair (a b) which can be represented on a plane by the point P(a b) (known as affix of point P) as shown in the figure This plane is called Argand plane complex plane or the Gaussian plane

1931 Representation of Complex Numbers

Complex numbers can be represented by following forms 1 Cartesian form (rectangular form) A complex number z = x + iy can be represented by the

point P having coordinate (x y) 2 Vector form (Algebraic form) Every complex number z is regarded as a position vec-

OP OA AP OA OB rArr z = x + iy

Modulus of z Distance of point P from the origin is called modulus of complex number z and is denoted by |z| It is length of vector

(OP) It is distance of P(z) from origin

Argument of z Argument of z is the angle made by

OP with the positive direction of real axis Also known as amplitude z and is denoted by amp (z)

Arg(z) = q where θ =ytanx

q lies in the quadrant in

which complex number z lies

NoteThe principal arguments q isin (ndashp p]

3 Polar form (amplitude modulus form) In DOAP OP = |z| = r rArr OA = x = r cosq and AP = y = r sinq rArr z = x + iy = r (cosq + i sinq) = r cisq

Remarkcis q is unimodular complex number and acts as unit vector in the direction of q where q is arg z

4 Euler form (Exponential form) Euler represented complex number z as an exponential function of its argument q (radians) and described here As we know that using Taylorrsquos series expansion cos q and sinq can be expanded in terms of polynomial in q as given below

Advantages of using Euler form Convenient for division and multiplication of complex numbers Suitable for exponential logarithmic and irrational functions involving complex numbers

19311 Inter-conversion from polartrigonometric to algebraic form

gives q = f (say)

In polar form = + φ+ φ2 2z x y (cos isin )

(ii) Polar form to algebraic form Given z = r(cosq + isinq) = rcosq + i(rsinq)

rArr z = x + iy where x = rcosq and y = rsinq

1932 Properties of Complex Numbers

(i) Equality Two complex numbers z1 and z2 are equal only when their real and imaginary parts are respectively equal ie Re(z1) = Re(z2) and I(z1) = I(z2) or |z1| = |z2| and arg (z1) = arg (z2)

19192 Mathematics at a Glance

RemarksStudents must note that x y isin ℝ and x y ne 0 If x + y = 0 rArr x = ndash y is correct but x + iy = 0 rArr x = ndash iy is incorrect (unless both x and y are zero)

Hence a real number cannot be equal to the imaginary number unless both are zero

(ii) Inequality Inequality in complex number is not defined because lsquoirsquo is neither positive zero nor negative So 4 + 3i gt 1 + 2i or i lt 0 or i gt 0 is meaningless

(iii) If Re(z) = 0 then z is purely imaginary and if Im (z) = 0 then z is purely real (iv) z = 0 rArr Re(z) = Im (z) = 0 therefore the complex number 0 is purely real and purely imaginary or both (v) If z = x + iy then iz = ndashy + ix rArr Re(iz) = ndash Im(z) and Im(iz) = Re(z) (vi) Conjugate of complex number z = x + i y is denoted

as z = (x ndash iy) ie a complex number with same real part as of z and negative imaginary part as that of z

(vii) If z is purely real positive rArr Arg(z) = 0 (viii) If z is purely real negative rArr Arg(z) = p (ix) If z is purely imaginary with positive imaginary part

rArr Arg(z) = p2 (x) If z is purely imaginary with negative imaginary part

rArr Arg(z) = ndashp2 (xi) Arg(0) is not defined

19321 Binary operations defined on set of complex numbers

Binary operation on set of complex number is a function from set of complex numbers to itself That is if z1 z2 isin C and is a binary operation on the set of complex numbers then z1 z2 isin C Following binary operations are defined on set of complex numbers

Addition of two complex numbers Let z1 = x1 + iy1 and z2 = x2 + iy2 rArr z1 + z2 = (x1 + iy1) + (x2 + iy2)= (x1 + x2) + i (y1 + y2) ie z1 + z2 = [R(z1) + R(z2)] + i[I(z1) + I(z2)] isin C

19322 Geometric representation

Consider two complex numbers z1 = (x1 + iy1) and z2 = (x2 + iy2) represented by

Then by parallelogram law of vector addition + = + =

Geometric representation Let A and B are two points in the complex plane respectively affixes of z1 and z2 where z1 = r1(cos q1 + i sinq1) and z2 = r2(cos q2 + i sinq2) z1z2 = r1r2(cosq1 + isin q1) (cosq2 + i sinq2)

1933 ResultThe product rule can be generalized to n complex numbers Let zn = rn(cosqn + i sinqn) where n = 1 2

19432 Argument and principal argument of complex number

Argument of z (arg z) is also known as amp(z) is angle which the radius vector

OP makes with positive direction of real axis

Principle Argument In general argument of a complex number is not unique if q is the argument then 2nπ + q is also the argument of the complex number where n = 0 plusmn 1 plusmn 2 Hence we define principle value of argument q which satisfies the condition ndashp lt q le p Hence Principle value of arg(z) is taken as an angle lying in (ndashp p] It is denoted by Arg(z) Thus arg(z) = Arg(z) plusmn 2kp k isin ℤ

A complex number z given as (x + iy) lies in different quadrant depending upon the sign of x and y Based on the quadrantal location of the complex number its principle argument are given as follows

Method of Solving Complecs EquationsLet the given equation be f(z) = g(z) To solve this equation we have the following four methods

Method 1 Put z = x + iy in the given equation and equate the real and imaginary parts of both sides and solve to find x and y hence z = x + iy

Method 2 Put z = r(cosq + isinq) and equate the real and imaginary parts of both sides solve to get r and q hence z

Method 3 Take conjugate of both sides of given equations Thus we get two equations f(z) = g(z) (1) and =f(z) g(z) (2)

Adding and Subtracting the above two equations we get two new equations solving then we get z

Method 4 Geometrical Solution From the given equation we follow the geometry of complex number z and find its locus

(ii) Set Builder Method Under this method set may be represented with the help of certain property or properties possessed by all the elements of that set

A = x | P(x) or A = x P(x) This signifies A is the set of element x such that x has the property P For example the set

A = 1 2 3 4 5 can be written as A = x | x isin N and x le 5

207 CARDINAL NuMbeR OF A SetS

Cardinal number of a set X is the number of distinct elements in a set and it is denoted by n(X) For example for X = x1 x2 x3 n (X) = 3

Some Important Remarks

Equivalent Sets Two finite sets A and B are equivalent if their cardinal numbers are same That is n (A) = n (B)

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 That is A = B if A and B are equal and A ne B if they are not equal

Every finite set is countable but every countable set is not necessarily finite

Infinite sets may or may not be countable

Uncountable sets are always infinite

Every subset of a countable set is countable

Every superset of an uncountable set is also uncountable

Intersection of countable sets is always countable

A set A is said to be a subset of B if all the elements of A are present in B and is denoted by A sube B (read as A is subset of B) and symbolically written as x isin A rArr x isin B hArr A sube B

2010 NuMbeR OF SubSetS

Consider a set X containing n elements as x1 x2 xn then the total number of subsets of X = 2n

Proof Number of subsets of the above set is equal to the number of selections of elements taking any number of them at a time out of the total n elements and it is equal to 2n Q

nC0 + nC1 + nC2++ nCn = 2n

2011 tyPeS OF SubSetS

(i) Proper Subset A non-empty set A is said to be a proper subset of a set B if every element of A is an element

of B and B has at least one element which is not an element of A and is denoted by A sub B (ii) Improper Subset The set A itself and the empty set is known as improper subset For example if X = x1 x2 xn

then total number of proper sub-sets = 2n - 2 (excluding itself and the null set) The statement A sube B can be written as B supe A then B is called the super set of A

2012 POweR SetS

The collection of all subsets of set A is called the power set of A and is denoted by P(A) ie P(A) =

X X is a subset of A If A = x1 x2 x3 xn then n(P(A)) = 2n n(P(P(A)) = 22n

(iv) AssociativityIf A B and C are any three sets then(a) (A cup B) cup C = A cup (B cup C) (b) (A cap B) cap C = A cap (B cap C)(c) (A D B) D C = A D (B D C)ie union and intersection are associativeNote that (A ndash B) ndash C ne A ndash (B ndash C) eg for A = 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 B = 6 7 8 9 10 C = 4 5 6 7 10 12 (A ndash B) ndash C = 2 3 A ndash (B ndash C) = 2 3 4 5 6 7

(v) Divisibility If A B and C are any three sets then(a) A cup (B cap C) = (A cup B) cap (A cup C) (b) A cap (B cup C) = (A cap B) cup (A cap C)(c) A cup (B cup C) = (A cup B) cup (A cup C) (d) A cap (B cap C) = (A cap B) cap (A cap C)ie union and intersection are distributive over intersection and union and on themselves

20231 Cartesian Product of Two SetsCartesian product of two sets A and B is a set containing the ordered pairs (a b) such that a isin A and b isin B It is denoted by

A times B ie A times B = (a b) a isin A and b isin B If set A = a1 a2 a3 and B = b1 b2 thenA times B = (a1 b1) (a1 b2) (a2 b1) (a2 b2) (a3 b1) (a3 b2) andB times A = (b1 a1) (b1 a2) (b1 a3) (b2 a1) (b2 a2) (b2 a3)Clearly A times B ne B times A until A and B are equal

Remarks

1 Since A times B has elements as ordered pairs therefore it can be geometrically located on X ndash Y plane by considering set A on X-axis and set B on Y-axis

2 Cartesian product of n sets A1 A2 A3An is denoted by A1 x A2 x A3 x x An and is the set of n ordered tuples ie A1 x A2 x A3 x x An = (a1 a2 a3 an) ai isin Ai i = 1 2 3 n Cartesian product of n sets represents n-dimensional space

3 A times B times C and (A times B) times C are not same

A times B times C = (a b c) a isin A b isin B c isin C whereas

(A times B) times C = (a b c) a isin A b isin B c isin C

20232 Number of Elements in Cartesian Product A times B

If number of elements in A denoted by n(A) = m and number of elements in B denoted by n(B) = n then number of elements in (A times B) = m times n ie n(A times B) = n(A) times n(B)

Since A times B contains all such ordered pairs of the type (a b) such that a isin A and b isin B that means it includes all possibilities in which the elements of set A can be related with the elements of set B Therefore A times B contains n(A) times n(B) number of elements

20233 Properties and Laws of Cartesian Product

202331 Distributive laws

1 (a) Cartesian product distributes over union and intersection of sets That is A times (B cup C) = (A times B) cup (A times C) and A times (B cap C) = (A times B) cap (A times C) for every group

of sets A B and C

Sets and Relation 20219

(b) Cartesian product distributes over subtraction of sets That is A times (B ndash C) = (A times B) ndash (A times C) 2 Cartesian Product is not Associative Cartesian product of sets is not associative in nature

That is A times (B x C) ne (A times B) times C As the elements of A times (B times C) are of the type (a (b c)) whereas the elements of (A times B) times C are of

the type ((a b) c) a isin A b isin B c isin C 3 Cartesian Product is not Commutative Cartesian product of sets is not commutative in nature That is A times B ne B times A until A = B 4 Cardinality of Cartesian Product (a) If A and B are two sets then n(A times B) = n(A) times n(B) (b) If A and B are sets having k number of common elements ie n(A cap B) = k then the number

of elements common to A times B and B times A = k2 5 Intersection of cross product is equal to cross product of intersection That is for sets A B S and T (A times B) cap (S times T) = (A cap S) times (B cap T) 6 For subset A of B and C of D We have (a) (A times C) sube (B cap C) for every set C (b) (A times C) sube (B cap D) (c) (A times A) sube (A times B) cap (B times A) 7 For complementary sets B and C of sets B and C (a) A times (B cup C) = (A times B) cap (A times C) (b) A times (B cap C) = (A times B) cup (A times C) 8 A times (B D C) = (A times B) D (A times C)

2024 ReLAtIONS

A relation R from set X to Y (R X rarr Y) is a correspondence between set X to set Y by which none one or more elements of X are associated with none one or more elements of Y Therefore a relation (or binary relation) R from a non-empty set X to another non-empty set Y is a subset of X times Y That is R X rarr Y is nothing but subset of A times B For example consider set X and Y as set of all males and females members of a royal family of the Ayodhya kingdom

20220 Mathematics at a Glance

X = Dashrath Ram Bharat Laxman Shatrughan and Y = Koshaliya Kaikai Sumitra Sita Mandavi Urmila Shrutkirti and a relation R is defined as was husband of from set X to set Y

Then R = (Dashrath Koshaliya) (Ram Sita) (Bharat Mandavi) (Laxman Urmila) (Shatrughan Shrutkirti) (Dashrath Kaikai ) (Dashrath Sumitra)

2025 DOMAIN CO-DOMAIN AND RANge OF ReLAtION

Domain Domain of a relation R from set A to set B is the collection of elements of set A which are participating in the correspondence ie it is set of all pre-images under the relation R For example domain of R = (1 5) (2 10) (3 6) is

DR = 1 2 3 where R is a relation from set A = 1 2 3 4 to set B = 5 6 7 8 9 10

Co-domain Co-domain of a relation R from set A to set B is set B itself irrespective of the fact whether an element of set B is related with any element of A or not For example B =5 6 7 8 9 10 is co-domain of above relation R

Range Range of a relation R from set A to set B is the set of those elements of set B which are participating in the correspondence ie set of all images under the relation R For the above relation range is given by the set RR = 5610

2026 uNIVeRSAL ReLAtION FROM Set A tO Set b

Since A times B contains all possible ordered pairs which relate each element of A to every element of B therefore (A times B) is largest possible relation defined from set A to set B and hence also known as Universal relation from A to B

2027 NuMbeR OF ReLAtIONS FROM Set A tO Set b

Since each relation from A to B is a subset of Cartesian product A times B therefore number of relations that can be defined from set A to set B is equal to the number of subsets of A times B Thus the number of relations from A to B = 2n(A times B) = 2n(A) x n(B)

2028 ReLAtION ON A Set

A relation R from set A to itself is called relation on set AFor example let A = 1234916 Define a relation from set A to itself as a R b if b is square of a

but a ne b thenR = (2 4) (3 9)(4 16) Here domain = 2 3 4 co-domain = A range = 4 9 16

2029 RePReSeNtAtION OF ReLAtION IN DIFFeReNt FORMS

(i) By representing the relation as a set of ordered pairs (Roster form)In this method we represent the relation by a set containing ordered pairs (a b) where a isin A and b isin B such that aRb as shown for the relation R from A = 1 2 3 4 to set B = 2 3 4 5 6 7 when b isin B is to be related to a isin A here such that b = 2a + 1 R = (13) (2 5) (3 7)

Sets and Relation 20221

(ii) Analytical method or set builder from In this method we represent the relation as R = (a b) a isin A b isin B ahellipb where the dots are replaced by an equation connecting image b with its pre-image a For example let R be a relation from set A = 1 2 3 4 to set B = 2 3 4 5 6 7 given by R = (13)(25)(37) then it can be represented by R = (x y) x isin A y isin B x R y iff y = 2x + 1

(iii) Graphical representation or representation by lattice In this method we take set X along x-axis and set B along y-axis then plot the points (a b) isin R in x y plane For example in the above illustration the relation can be represented as shown in the diagram given below

(iv) By arrow diagram In this method we represent set A and set B by two circles or by two ellipses and join the images and their pre-images by using arrows as shown below for above illustration

(v) Tabular form In this form of representation of a relation R from set A to set B elements of A and B are written in the first column and first row respectivelyIf (a b) isin ℝ then we write lsquo1rsquo in the row containing a and the column containing b and if (a b) notin ℝ then we write lsquo0rsquo in the row containing a and the column containing bFor example for the relation R = (1 3) (2 5) (3 7) from set A = 1 2 3 4 to set B = 2 3 4 5 6 7 we have the following tabular representation

2030 CLASSIFICAtION OF ReLAtIONS

One-one or Injective Relation

If different elements of set X are related with different elements of set Y ie no two different elements of domain are related to same element of set Y then R is said to be one-one relation or injective relation from set X to set Y

Many-one Relation

When there exists at least one group having more than one element of set X which are related with same element of set Y then R is said to be many one relation from set X to set Y

One-many Relation

Relation R from set X to set Y is said to be one-many if there exists an element in set X which is related with more than one element of set Y

Many-many Relation

Relation R from set X to set Y is said to be many-many if it is many-one as well as one-many

Onto Relation (Surjective Relation)

A relation R X rarr Y is said to be onto or surjective relation if there is no such element y isin Y which is not related with any x isin X ie for each y isin Y there exist at least one element x in X which is related with y In such a relation

Range (RR) = co-domain ie range of onto relation is nothing but the co-domain of the relation

RemarkIn onto relation all elements of set X may or may not participate in relation but all elements of co-domain set Y participate in relation

2031 INtO ReLAtION

A relation R X rarr Y is said to be into iff there exist at least one y isin Y which is not related with any x isin X

Sets and Relation 20223

That is if range (RR) sub co-domain that is range of relation is a proper subset of co-domain

That is R6 (x1 y1) (x1 y2) (x2 y3)Clearly under relation R6 y4 has no pre-image in X

20311 One-One-Onto Relation (Bijective Relation)

A relation R X rarr Y is said to be bijective relation iff it is both onendashone as well as onto relation

For example R7 (x1 y2) (x2 y1) (x3 y3) where X = x1 x2 x3 x4 and Y = y1 y2 y3)

2032 tyPeS OF ReLAtIONS

20321 Reflexive Relation

R X rarr Y is said to be reflexive iff x R x x isin X That is every element of X must be related to itselfTherefore if for each x isin X (x x) isin R then relation R is called reflexive relation

RemarkIf R X rarr Y is a reflexive relation then its domain is X For example if R is a relation on set of integers (ℤ) defined by ldquoxRy iff x divides yrdquo then it is reflexive and hence its domain set is ℤ

20322 Identity RelationA relation R X rarr Y is said to be an identity relation if each element of X is related to itself only For example if X = x1 x2 x3 and Y = x1 x2 x3 x4 then the relation R = (x1 x1) (x2 x2) (x3 x3) is an identity relation from set X to set Y

Remarks 1 Every identity relation from set X to set Y is reflexive relation from set X to set Y but converse is

not true That is every reflexive relation need not be identity For example R X rarr Y where X = x1 x2 x3 and Y = x1 x2 x3 x4 then the relation R = (x1 x1) (x2 x2) (x3 x3) (x1 x2) is reflexive but not identity relation from set X to set Y because x1 R x1 as well as x1Rx2

2 If R is a relation from set X to itself then the relation is called relation on set X

(a) R is said to be reflexive on set X if xRx x isin X

(b) R is said to be identity relation on set X if x R x x isin X and x is not related to any other element and it is denoted by Ix

3 Symmetric Relation R X rarr Y is said to be symmetric iff (x y) isin R rArr (y x) isin R

That is x R y rArr y R x For example perpendicularity of lines in a plane is symmetric relation

20323 Transitive Relation

R X rarr Y is said to be transitive iff (x y) isin R and (y z) isin R rArr (x z) isin RThat is x R y and yR zrArr x R z For example the relation ldquobeing sister ofrdquo among the members of a family is always transitive

20224 Mathematics at a Glance

Notes (i) Every null relation is a transitive relation

(ii) Every singleton relation is a transitive relation

(iii) Universal and identity relations are reflexive as well as transitive

20324 Anti-symmetric RelationA relation R from set X to set Y is said to be an anti-symmetric relation iff (a b) isin R and (b a) isin R rArr a = b

That is for two different elements x isin X and y isin Y the relation R does not contain the ordered pairs (x y) and (y x) simultaneously

For example relations ldquobeing subset of rdquo ldquois greater than or equal tordquo and ldquoidentity relationrdquo are anti-symmetric relations

RemarkA relation R from set X to set Y may be both symmetric as well as anti-symmetric any one or not bothFor example let X = 1 2 3 4 and Y = 1 2 3 4 5 6

203241 Consider the relations

(i) R1 = (11) (22) (ii) R2 = (1 2) (2 1) (2 3) (3 2) (iii) R3 = (1 1) (2 2) (3 4) (iv) R4 = (1 2) (2 1) (3 4)

1 R1 is symmetric as whenever ordered pair (x y) isin R1 rArr (y x) isin R1Also R1 is anti-symmetric as for no two different elements x y the ordered pairs (x y) and (y x) occur in R1

2 R2 is symmetric but not anti-symmetric as (1 2) (2 3) isin R2 rArr (2 1) (3 2) isin R2 but 1 ne 2 and 2 ne 3 3 R3 is anti-symmetric but not symmetric as (3 4) isin R3 but (4 3) notin R3 4 R4 is neither symmetric nor anti-symmetric as (3 4) isin R3 but (4 3) notin R3 and (1 2) (2 1) both are

in R3 but 1 ne 2

20325 Equivalence RelationA relation R from a set X to set Y (R X rarr Y) is said to be an equivalence relation iff it is reflexive symmetric as well as transitive The equivalence relation is denoted by ~ For example relation ldquois equal tordquo Equality Similarity and congruency of triangles parallelism of lines are equivalence relations

2033 COMPOSItION OF ReLAtIONS

Let R and S be two relations from set A to B and B to C respectively Then we can define a relation SoR from A to C such that (a c) isin SoR hArr exist b isin B such that (a b) isin R and (b c) isin S

This relation is called the composition of R and S Diagrammatically it is shown in the following figure

Sets and Relation 20225

2034 INVeRSe OF A ReLAtION

Let A B be two sets and let R be a relation from a set A to B Then the inverse of R denoted by R-1 is a relation from B to A and is defined by R-1 = (b a) (a b)isinR Clearly (a b) isin R hArr (b a) isin R-1

Also Dom (R) = Range (R-1) and range (R) = Dom (R-1)For example let A = 1 2 3 4 and B = 2 3 4 5Define a relation R from A to B as xRy iff y = x + 1 then R = (1 2)

(2 3) (3 4) (4 5)rArr Rndash1 = (2 1) (3 2) (4 3) (5 4)Thus we can define Rndash1 a relation from B to A as xRy iff y = x ndash 1

The arrow diagram represents the relations R and Rndash1

Remark(SoR)ndash1 = Rndash1oSndash1 where R is a relation from A to B and S is a relation from B to C

Tips and Tricks

If number of elements in A n(A) = m and n(B) = n then number of elements in (A times B) = m times n A times B is termed as the largest possible relation defined from set A to set B it is also known as the

universal relation from A to B If A sube B then (A times B) cap (B times A) = A2 = A times A If A has m elements and B has n elements then number of relations that can be defined

from A to B = 2m times n If A is a set containing n elements then the number of relations that can be defined

on set ( )2nA 2=

If A and B are two non-empty sets having n elements in common then A times B and B times A have n2 elements in common

If A is related to B then symbolically it is written as (aRb) where a is pre-image and b is image If A is not related to B then symbolically it is written as a R b All identity relations are reflexive but all reflexive relations are not identity Every null relation is a transitive relation Every singleton relation is a transitive relation Universal and identity relations are reflexive as well as transitive Identity relation is symmetric as well as anti-symmetric or both Union of two reflexive (or symmetric) relations on a set A also reflexive (or symmetric) on set A Union of two transitive relations need not be transitive on set A Union of two equivalence relations need not be equivalence 1 If R and S are two equivalence relations on a set A then R cap S is also an equivalence

relation on A 2 The inverse of an equivalence relation is an equivalence relation 3 The set (a a)a isin A = D is called the diagonal line of A times A Then lsquothe relation R in a is

antisymmetric iff R cap Rndash1 sube D

Chapter 21FunCtions

211 Definition of function

Let X and Y be two non-empty sets Then a function lsquof rsquo from set X to set Y is denoted as f X rarr Y or y = f(x) x isin X and y isin Y A function f(x) from X (domain) to Y (co-domain) is defined as a relation f from set X to set Y such that each and every element of X is related with exactly one element of set Y

Image and Pre-image Let f be a function from set X to set Y ie f X rarr Y and let an element x of set X be associated to the element y of set Y through the rule lsquof rsquo then (x y) isin f ie f(x) = y then y is called lsquoimage of x under f rsquo and x is called lsquopre-image of y under f rsquo

Natural Domain The natural domain of a function is the largest set of real number inputs that give real number outputs of the function

Co-domain Set Y is called co-domain of function f

Range of Function If f Df (sube X) rarr Y is a function with domain Df then the set of images y (output isinY) generated corresponding to input x isin Df is called range of function and it is denoted by Rf

ie Rf = f(x) xisinDf sube Y

Remarks

(i) Every function is a relation but every relation read not be a function

(ii) A relation R A rarr B is a function if its domain = A and it is not one-many ie either one-one or many-many

Functions 21227

(iii) To find domain of function we need to know when does a function become undefined and when it is defined

ie we need to find those values of x where f(x) is finite and real and those values of x where f(x) is either infinite or imaginary

(iv) When its value tends to infinity (infin)

eg =minus2

1y

x 1 at x = plusmn1 f(x) is not defined at x = plusmn1 and defined forall x isin ℝ except for plusmn1 therefore

domain of f(x) = ℝ ~ 1 ndash1

(v) When it takes imaginary value eg = minusy x 1 at x isin (ndashinfin 1) f(x) is not defined on (ndashinfin 1) and

defined on [1 infin) therefore domain of f(x) = [1 infin)

(vi) When it takes indeterminate form ie becomes of the form infininfininfin infin minus infin

infin0 00

1 0 etc0

212 RepResentation of a function

A fanction can be represented analytcally as orduced pass parametrically wita arrow diagram praphibly

Remarks All function cannot be represented by all the above methods

(i) The Drichlet-Function which is defined as f(x) =

0 when x is rational

1 when x is irrational cannot be graphed since there exist

infinite number of rationals as well as irrationals between any two real numbers

(ii) Consider the Eulerrsquos totient or Eulerrsquos phi function f(n) = Number of positive integers less than or equal to n and co-prime to n where n is a natural number

The domain of f is the set of positive integers Its range is the set of positive integers 1 2 3 hellip

We cannot represent this function analytically A portion of the graph of f(n) as shown here for understanding of the function

(iii) Consider another function called prime number function defined by f(x) = number of prime numbers less than or equals to x where x is non-negative real number

Then domain of f(x) is (0 infin) and range is the set of non-negative integers ie 0 1 2 3 hellip

The graph of function is shown here

As x increases the function f(x) remains constant until x reaches a prime at which the graph of function jumps by 1Therefore the graph of f consists of horizontal line segments This is an example of a class of function called step functions

(iv) Another function which is so complicated that it is impossible to draw its graph

h(x) = minus

x if x is rational

x is irrationalif x2

As we know that between any two real numbers there lie infinitely many relations and irrational number so it is impossible to draw its graph

21531 Methods of testing a relation to be a function

Method 1 When the relation to be tested is represented analytically A relation f X rarr Y defined as y = f(x) will be function iff x1 = x2 rArr f(x1) = f(x2) since otherwise an element of X would have two different image

Method 2 When the relation to be tested is represented as a set of ordered pairs

A relation f X rarr Y represented as a set of ordered pairs will be function from X to Y iffSet of abscissa of all ordered pairs is equal to XNo two ordered pairs should have same abscissa

RemarkBecause f is a relation from X rarr Y therefore abscissa of ordered pairs must belong to X where as ordinates of ordered pairs must belong to Y

Method 3 When the relation to be tested is represented graphically relation f X rarr Y y = f(x) is function iff all the straight line x = a forall a isin X intersect the graph of function exactly once as shown below

A relation f X rarr Y will not be a function in following two conditions 1 If for some a isin X line x = a does not cut the curve y = f(x) eg in the graph of function shown below

the line x = a does not cut the graph of function and a isin X (Df) = [a b] ie no output for input x = a

rArr f(x) is not a function from X to Y 2 If for atleast one a isin X line x = a intersects y = f(x) more than once ie there exists an input having

more than one output say at (a y1) (a y2) and (a y3) rArr For input x = a f(x) has three outputs y1 y2 as well as y3 Hence f(x) is not function

21242 Mathematics at a Glance

Method 4 When the relation to be tested is represented diagrammatically A relation f X rarr Y is a function if no input has two or more outputs in Y and no x isin X is un-related

216 classification of functions

2161 One-one (Injective) Function

f X rarr Y is called injective when different elements in set X are related with different elements of set Y ie no two elements of domain have same image in co-domain In other words we can also say that no element of co-domain is related with two or more elements of domain

217 Many-one functions

f X rarr Y is many-one when there exist at least two elements in the domain set X which are related with same element of co-domain Y

2171 Onto (Surjective) FunctionA function f X rarr Y is called surjective only when each element in the co-domain is f-image of at least one element in the domain ie f X rarr Y is onto iff y isin Y there exists x isin X such that f(x) = y ie iff Rf = co-domain (Y)

Surjective f X rarr Y reduces the co-domain set to range of function

218 MethoD of testinG foR injectivity

(a) Analytical Method A function f X rarr Y is injective (one-one) iff whenever two images are equal then it means that they are outputs of same pre-image ie f(x1) = f(x2) hArr x1 = x2 forall x1 x2 isin X Or by using contra-positive of the above condition ie x1 ne x2 hArr f(x1) ne f(x2) forall x1 x2 isin X

Notes

1 If f (x) is not one-one then it is many-one function If we go according to definition consider f(x1) = f(x2) rArr x1 is not necessarily equal to x2

ie If two f-images are equal then their pre-images may or may not be equal

2 To test injectivity of f(x) consider f(x1) = f(x2) and solve the equation and get x2 in terms of x1 If x2 = x1 is only solution then function f is injective but if other real solutions also exist then f is many-one function

Functions 21243

(b) Graphical Method For one-one every line parallel to x-axis y = k isin Rf cuts the graph of function exactly once then the function is one-one or injective

For many-one If there exists a line parallel to x-axis which cuts the graph of function at least twice then the function is many one

(c) Method of Monotonicity for one-one If a function f(x) is continuous and monotonic

(f (x) ge 0 f (x) = 0 occures at isolated points) on an interval I then it is always one-one on interval I because any straight line parallel to x-axis y = k isin I intersects the graph of such functions exactly once

For many-one

(i) If a function is continuous and non-monotonic on interval I then it must be many-one on interval I

(ii) If a function is discontinuous and monotonic on interval I then it can be one-one or many-one on I as is clear from the figures given below

(iii) Even functions and periodic functions are always many-one in their natural domains whereas they are one-one in their principal domain They can be made one-one by restricting the domain

eg cosx is many one on ℝ but is one-one on [0 p] or 02π

Similarly fraction part function

x is periodic function with period 1 It is many one on ℝ but one-one on [n n + 1) for each integer n

(iv) If a function is discontinuous and non-monotonic on an interval I then it can be one-one or many one on I It can be understood well by the graph shown as follows

21244 Mathematics at a Glance

(v) All polynomials of even degree defined in ℝ have at least one local maxima or minima and hence

are many-one in the domain ℝ Polynomials of odd degree can be one-one or many-one in ℝ (d) Hit and trial method to test many-one functions It is possible to find an element in the range of function which is f image of two or more than two

elements in the domain of function

219 into (non-suRjective) function

While defining function we have mentioned that there may exist some element in the co-domain which are not related to any element in the co-domain

f X rarr Y is into iff there exists at least one y isin Y which is not related with any x isin X

Thus the range of the into function is proper subset of the co-domain ie range sub co-domain (properly)

2110 one-one onto function (Bijective function)

If a function is both one-one as well as onto then f(x) is set to be bijective function or simply bijection

2111 testinG of a function foR suRjective

Method 1 The equality of range of function to co-domain forms the condition to test surjectivity of function For instance to test surjectivity of f [0 infin) rarr [2 infin) such that f(x) = x2 + 2

Using the analytic formula we obtain the rule of function for argument x in terms of y as shown below

∵ y = x2 + 2 x2 = y ndash 2 ie |x| = y 2minus

rArr x y 2= minus ∵ x ge 0

Functions 21245

Now we check whether the expression of x in forms of y is valid for all elementary co-domain If it is so then f is surjective otherwise it is non-surjective

Thus x to be real and positive RHS ie y 2minus must be real and positive thus y isin [2 infin) Hence the given function f is onto

Method 2 Hit and Trial Method Sometimes we choose an element of co-domain which may not be an image of any element in domain and we test it for same If it comes out to be true then f is into function

RemarkIn order to convert a function from many-one to an injective function its domain must be transformed to principal domain In order to convert a function from into to onto the co-domain of function must be replaced by its range

Remarks 1 If n(X) lt n(Y) then after mapping different elements of X to different elements of Y we are left with

at least one element of Y which is not related with any element of X and hence there will be no onto function from X to Y ie all the functions from X to Y will be into

monotonically increasing function (h) Composition of two functions having opposite monotonicity is a decreasing function

21141 Definition of Inverse of a FunctionA function f X rarr Y is said to be invertible iff there exists another functiong Y rarr X such that f(x) = y hArr g(y) = x forall x isin X and y isin YThen g Y rarr X is called inverse of f X rarr Y and is denoted by fndash1rArr g = fndash1 = (f(x) x) (x f(x)) isin f

Functions 21247

2115 conDition foR invisiBility of a function

For a function to be invertible it should be one-one and onto ie bijective function

21151 Method to Find Inverse of a Given FunctionStep 1 Check the injectivity (one-one) Take f(x1) = f(x2) and show that x1 = x2 or show that f is continuous and monotonic on its domain

Step 2 Surjectivity (onto) Find the Range of the function (Rf) and compare it with co-domain

If Rf = Co-domain then f is onto

Step 3 Using equation y = f(x) express x in terms of y hellip (1)

Step 4 Replace x by y and y by x in the obtained relation (1) to get y = fndash1(x)

RemarkSince to each (x y) isin f there exists (y x) isin fndash1 and (y x) and (x y) are mirror images of each other in the line y = x therefore the graph of f-1(x) is obtained by reflecting the graph of f(x) in the line y = x as shown below

2116 pRopeRties of inveRse of a function

(i) The inverse of a bijection is unique (ii) The inverse of a bijection is also a bijection (iii) If f and g are two bijections f A rarr B g B rarr C then the inverse of gof exists

and (gof)ndash1 = fndash1ogndash1 (iv) Inverse of inverse of a given function is the given function itself ie (fndash1)ndash1 = f (v) f(x) and fndash1(x) if intersect then the point of intersection should be on the line

y = x or y = ndashx + k for some real value of k (vi) f(x) and fndash1(x) have same monotonic nature ie either both increasing or

both decreasing (vii) If f(x) is increasing function then fndash1(x) is also an increasing function but

f(x) and fndash1(x) have opposite curvatures(viii) If f(x) is a decreasing function then fndash1(x) is also a decreasing function but

f(x) and fndash1(x) have same curvatures (ix) If the graph of a function f(x) is symmetric about the line y = x then f(x)

and fndash1(x) are equal functions ie f(x) will be self invertible function or (involution) (x) If f A rarr B is a bijection then fndash1 B rarr A is an inverse function of f then fndash1of = IA and fofndash1 = IB

Here IA is an identity function on set A and IB is an identity function on set B

21171 Properties of even functions (i) Graph of even function is symmetric about y-axis (ii) For any function f(x) if g(x) = f(x) + f(ndashx) then g(x) is always an even function (iii) The domain of even function must be symmetric about zero (iv) Even functions are non invertible as they can not be strictly monotonic when taken in their natural

domain however even functions can be made invertible by restricting their domains (v) If f(x) is even function then f (x) is odd function (vi) f(x) = c where lsquocrsquo is a constant defined on symmetrical domain is an even function

21172 Odd FunctionA function f X rarr Y is said to be an odd function iff f(ndashx) = ndash f(x) forall x ndashx isin Xie f(x) + f(ndashx) = 0 forall x ndashx isin Xeg x3 sin x tan x 2x ndash 2ndashx are odd functions

21173 Properties of Odd Functions (i) Graph of odd function is symmetric about origin Also known as symmetric in opposite quadrants (ii) For any function f(x) if g(x) = f(ndashx) ndash f(x) then g(x) is always an odd function (iii) The domain of odd function must be symmetric about zero (iv) f(x) is odd then f rsquo(x) is an even function (v) If x = 0 lies in the domain of an odd function then f(0) = 0

2118 alGeBRa of even-oDD functions

1 f(x) = 0 (identically zero function) is the only function which is both an odd and an even function provided it is defined in a symmetric domain

2 A linear combination of two or more even functions is an even function ie in particular for two even functions f(x) and g(x) the function (af + bg) is an even function where a b isin ℝ

3 A linear combination of two or more odd functions is an odd function ie in particular for two odd functions f(x) and g(x) the function (af + bg) is an odd function where a b isin ℝ

4 The product of two or more even functions is an even function 5 The product of an odd and an even function is an odd function 6 The quotient of two even functions (or two odd functions) is an even function 7 The nature (odd or even) of product of odd functions depends upon the number of functions taken

in the product ie product of odd number of odd functions is an odd function and that of even number of odd functions is an even function

8 Composition of several functions f(g(h(p(x))))) is odd iff all are odd functions

Functions 21249

9 Composition of several functions is even iff at least one function is even provided the function composed of either even or odd functions after that even function

10 Any function f(x) can always be written as sum of an even function and an odd function

Remarks

(i) The functions having no symmetry like oddeven functions are called as lsquoneither even nor odd functionsrsquo

(ii) Before testing the evenodd symmetry of the function it is essential to observe whether the domain of function is symmetric about y-axis ie if the domain is of the type [ndashx0 x0] or [ndashx2 ndashx1] cup [x1 x2] etc

2119 even extension of function

21201 Definition of Periodic FunctionA function f(x) is said to be a periodic function if there exists a real positive and finite constant T inde-pendent of x such that f(x + T) = f(x) forall x isin Df provided (x + T) isin Df (domain)

The least positive value of such T (if exists) is called the periodprincipal period or fundamental period of f(x)

eg f(x) = tan x f(x) = sin x are periodic functions with period p and 2p respectively

2121 facts anD pRopeRties ReGaRDinG peRioDicity

(a) Trigonometric functions The function sin x cos x sec x cosec x are periodic with period 2p Whereas tan x cot x are periodic functions with period p

(b) There may be periodic functions which have no fundamental period eg

(i) Dirichlet function 1 when x isrational

f(x)0 when x is irrational=

(ii) Constant function Consider a function f(x) = c

21250 Mathematics at a Glance

(c) No rational function (except constant function) can be a periodic function (d) Algebraic function (Except Constant Function) cannot be a periodic function (i) If f (x) is periodic with period T then a f (x + k) + b is also periodic with same period T where

a b are real constants and a gt 0

(ii) If f(x) is periodic with period T then f(kx + b) is periodic with period T

| k |provided lsquokrsquo is

non-zero real number and b isin ℝ

2122 peRioD of coMposite functions

Theorem If f(x) is periodic function with fundamental period T and g(x) is monotonic function over the range of f(x) then g(f(x)) is also periodic with fundamental period T

If f(x) is periodic with period T then

(i) 1f(x)

is also periodic with same period T

(ii) f(x) is also periodic with same period T

Notes

1 Composition of a non-monotonic function g(x) over a periodic function f(x) having period T is always a periodic function with period T (But fundamental period may be less than T)

eg if g(x) = x2 and f(x)= cosx then gof(x) = cos2x is periodic with period 2p But its fundamental period is p

2 Composition of a non-periodic function g(x) with a periodic function f(x) may be a periodic function eg if g(x) = [x] and f(x) = cospx then fog(x) = cos[x] is periodic with period 2

3 Composition of two non-periodic functions may be a periodic function

(i) Period if f(x)2n+1 If the fundamental period of f(x) is T then the fundamental period of f(x)2n+1 n isin ℤ will also be T ie the fundamental period of function remains same on raising it to an odd integer power

(ii) Period of f(x)2n If the fundamental period of f(x) is T then the fundamental period of f(x)2n n isin ℤ may not be T

ie the fundamental period of function may change on raising it to an even integer power For example we know that the period of the functions sin x cos x sec x cosec x is 2p and that of

tanx cotx is p whereas the period of the functions (sinx)2n (cosx)2n (secx)2n (cosecx)2n (tan x)n (cot x)n |sinx| |cosx| |tanx| |cotx| |secx| |cosecx| is p

(iii) If f (x) be periodic with period T1 and g(x) with period T2 such that LCM of T1 and T2 exist and is equal to T then af(x) + bg(x) is a periodic function with period T (a and b are non-zeros)

(ii) LCM of rational and irrational number does not exist

eg The function x + cos x is non-periodic because the period of x is 1 and the period of cosx is 2p And the LCM (1 2p) does not exist

Also the function = sin x + tan px + sin x3 is not periodic because LCM of (2p 1 6p) does not exists

(iii) The LCM of two irrational quantities may or may not exist

1 The sumdifference of a periodic and an non-periodic function can be periodic

2 The sumdifference of two non-periodic functions can be periodic function

3 The productquotient of a periodic and an non-periodic function can be periodic

eg consider f(x) = cot x and 1 x 0

g( x )3 x 0

= minus= =

then the function f(x) g(x) and f ( x )g( x )

are

periodic

Clearly f(x) is periodic with period p but g(x) is non-periodic function

The domain of f(x) g(x) and f ( x )g( x )

is ℝ ~ np n isin ℤ hence f(x)f ( x )

g( x )g( x )

= = cotx which is

periodic function in its natural domain with fundamental period p

4 The productquotient of two non-periodic functions can be periodic function

eg consider 1 x 0

f ( x )1 x 0

lt= minus ge

and 1 x 0

g( x )1 x 0

minus lt= ge

then the function f(x)g(x) and

f ( x )1

g( x )= minus which being a constant function is a periodic function with no fundamental period

2124 exception to lcM Rule

Case I If f (x) be periodic with period T1 and g(x) with period T2 such that LCM of T1 and T2 exist and is equal to T and f (x) and g (x) can be interchanged by adding a least positive constant K (lt T)

ie f(x + K) = g(x) and g(x + K) = f(x) then K is period of f(x) + g(x) otherwise period will be T

Case II If f (x) be periodic with period T1 and g(x) with period T2 such that LCM of T1 and T2 exist and

is equal to T then the period of F(x) = f (x) plusmn g (x) or f(x)g(x) or f(x)g(x)

is necessarily T but the

fundamental period can be given by a positive constant K (lt T) if F(x) gets simplified to an equivalent function F(x + K) = F(x)

Rule 10 Methods to find Range of Functions Given a function f X rarr Y where y = f(x)

Method I

Step 1 Find domain of f(x) say a le x le b

Step 2 Express x in terms of y using equation of function ie x = fndash1 (y)

Step 3 Apply the domain restriction ie a le x le b rArr a le fndash1 (y) le b

Step 4 Find the set of all possible y satisfying above inequality

Method II

For composition of continuous functions

Step 1 Identify the function as composite function of constituent functions f g and h say f(x) = h(f(g(x)))

Step 2 Test the monotonicity of f and g and h say g(ndash(increasing)) f(darr (decreasing)) h(darr (decreasing))

Functions 21253

Step 3 Find domain of h(f(g(x))) say a le x le b

Step 4 ∵ a le x le b rArr Rf = [h(f(g(a))) h(f(g(b)))]

Rule 5 If domain is a set having only finite number of points then the range will be the set of corre-sponding values of f (x)

Rule 6 If domain of y = f (x) is R or Rndashsome finite points or an infinite interval then with the help of given relation express x in terms of y and from there find the values of y for which x is defined and belongs to the domain of the function f (x) The set of corresponding values of y constitute the range of function

Rule 7 If domain is not an infinite interval find the least and the greatest values of f (x) using monoto-nicity (This method is applicable only for continuous functions and is the most general method)

their respective domain then gof is also continuous in its domain Now if common domain of f(x) and gof(x) is [a b] or (a b) then range of f(x) is [f(a) f(b)] or (f(a) f(b)) which in turn is domain of g(x) Then range of fog(x) will be [g(f(a) g(f(b))] or (g(f(a) g(f(b)))

(ii) If f(x) and g(x) both are decreasing functions in their respective domain then gof is also a decreasing function Further if both f(x) and g(x) are continuous in their respective domain then gof is continuous and increasing function in its domain If common domain of f(x) and gof(x) is [a b] or (a b) then range of f(x) is [f(b) f(a)] or (f(b) f(a)) which in turn in domain of g(x) which is decreasing and continuous function Thus range of gof will be [g(f(a)) g(f(b))] or (g(f(a)) g(f(a)))

(v) If f(x) is non-monotonic function and continuous in its domain and g(x) is any function (monotonic or non-monotonic) for which the composition function fog is defined then range of fog can be obtained by analyzing the behaviour of function f(x) on the range set of function g(x) ie by determining the intervals of monotonicity lub gub of f(x) in range set of g(x)

(vi) If f(x) is monotonic and continuous in its domain and g(x) is non-monotonic for which fog(x) is defined and range of g(x) is [a b] or (a b) then the range of fog(x) will be [f(a) f(b)] or (f(a) f(b)) if f(x) is increasing and it will be [f(b) f(a)] or (f(b) f(a)) if f(x) is decreasing

22121 Reasons of Discontinuity of f(x) at x = a (i) Removable discontinuity f(andash) = f(a+) ne f(a) bull If f(a) is not defined then f(x) is said to have missing point removable discontinuity bull If f(a) exist and is different from f(andash) and f(a+) then f(x) is said to have isolated point removable

2213 discontinuity of first Kind

A function f(x) is said to have discontinuity of first kind if f(andash) and f(a+) exist finitely but condition of continuity is not satisfied

If a function f(x) is even or odd then it is simultaneously continuous (or discontinuous) at x = a and x = ndasha (i) If f(x) is an even function then f(ndasha+) = f(andash) f(ndashandash) = f(a+) (ii) If f(x) is an odd function then f(ndasha+) = ndashf(andash) f(ndashandash) = ndashf(a+)

If f(x) and g(x) are two continuous functions ie f(a+) = f(andash) = f(a) g(a+) = g(andash) = g(a) then the following results always hold good 1 kf(x) is continuous at x = a (k is finite real constant) 2 f(x) plusmn g(x) is continuous at x = a 3 f(x) g(x) is also continuous at x = a

(b) Let a function f(x) be continuous at all points in the interval [ab] and let its range be the interval [m M] and further the function g(x) be contininuous in the interval [m M] then the composite function (gof) (x) is continuous in the interval [a b]

(c) If the function f is continuous everywhere and the function g is continuous everywhere then the composition gof is continuous everywhere

(d) All polynomials trigonometric functions inverse trigonometric functions exponential and logarithmic functions are continuous at all points in their respective domains

(e) If f(x) is continuous at x = a then |f(x)| is also continuous at x = a

9 Sum of the two discontinuous functions may be continuous Example (i) f(andash) = l1 f(a+) = l2 l1 ne l2 and g(andash) = l2 g(a+) = l1 then (f + g)(andash) = (f + g)(a+) = (f + g)(a) = l1 + l2

(ii) f(x) = [x] + x = x is a continuous function where as [x] and x are discontinuous functions at integer points

possible only when the continuous function attains zero at that point 12 Quotient of a continuous and discontinuous function may be continuous may be discontinuous

2218 continuity of a function on a sEt

A function f(x) is said to be continuous on a set A if f(x) is continuous at every point of set A If a function has discontinuity even at single point of set A then f(x) is said to be discontinuous on set A

Continuity of a function on its domain A function f(x) is said to be continuous on its domain if it is continuous at every point of its domain

22182 Continuity in an Open Interval

A function f(x) is said to be continuous in (a b) when f(x) is continuous at each point c isin (a b) ie f(cndash) = f(c+) = f(c) forallc isin (a b)

221821 Method of testing of continuity in open interval

1 First of all make sure that every point of open interval is in the domain of given function ie each constituent function is defined at each point of open interval (a b) eg f(x) = x2 + sinx ndash tanx then x2 sinx tan x each is defined in open interval (0 1) but same function is not defined in open interval

(1 2) as tan x is not defined at π157

2 Thus f(x) cannot be continuous in open interval (1 2) due

to discontinuity at π

=x2

2 Use the knowledge of domain of continuity of standard constituent functions involved and

algebra of continuity eg if lt le

+ lt lt

x sin x 0 x 1f(x)

x 21 x 4

Now x and sin x have their domain of continuity ℝ and the product of two continuous functions at a point is also continuous at that point Thus x sin x is continuous in (0 1)

Also (x2 + 2) being a polynomial function is also continuous at each real number x2 + 2 is also continuous on (1 4)

3 Test the continuity of f(x) at suspicious points (ie points splitting the function into two different definitions) For example in above step (2) x = 1 is the suspesious point

2219 continuity of a function on a cLosEd intErvaL

A function f(x) is said to be continuous on closed interval [a b] if

(i) f(x) is continuous in (a b) (ii) f(x) is right continuous at x = a (iii) f(x) is left continuous at x = b

Thus f(x) is continuous on [a b] if

(i) f(cndash) = f(c+) = f(c) forall c isin (a b) (ii) f(a) = f(a+) (iii) f(bndash) = f(b)

P 3 Weierstrass Theorem (Extreme Value Theorem)If f is continuous on [a b] then f takes on a least value m and a greatest value M on this interval

P 4 Bolzanos TheoremIf f(a) and f(b) possesses opposite signs then $ at least one solution of the equation f(x) = 0 in the open interval (a b) provided that f is continuous in [a b]

P 5 A continuous functions whose domain is some closed interval must have its range also a closed interval

RemarkIf a function f(x) is continuous on an open interval (a b) or on real number line R and m and M are respectively the greatest lower bound and least upper bounds of f(x) then Range of f(x) = [m M] if f(x) attains m and M and it is (m M) if f(x) does not attain its bounds m or M are included in range if m or M are attained by the function

P 6 Continuity of inverse FunctionIf the function y = f(x) is defined continuous and strictly monotonic on the domain of function f(x) then there exists a single-valued inverse function x = f(y) defined continuous and also strictly monotonic in the range of the function y = f(x)

So differentiability physically signifies that no sudden change in the instantaneous rate of change at x = a

22212 Geometrical SignificanceDifferentiability of f(x) at x = a implies LHD = RHD This geometrically means that a unique tangent with finite slope can be drawn at x = a Therefore graph of f(x) must be smooth without any sharp edgecorner at x = a and tangent line at x = a is not vertical

2 Find all those points where the function f(x) takes a sharp turn ie have kink points At these points function will be non-differentiable

3 Also find all those points where the function f(x) has vertical tangent At such points f(x) will be non-differentiable

4 Find all points where f(x) oscillates with infinite frequency At such points f(x) will be non-differentiable 5 The set ℝ except for the points of non-differentiability will be the domain of differentiability

of given function 6 If f(x) is a multi-formula function then remove the sign of equality at the points where the definition

of function changes Find the corresponding derivative functions The continuity of function at the point of separation of two different branches and continuity of derivative function implies the dif-ferentiability of function at that point

22251 Alternative Limit Form of Derivatives

We know that the derivative of a function f(x) at x = a is given by f (a) = rarr

+ minush 0

f(a h) f(a)limh

On substituting a + h = x x rarr a we get f (a) = rarr

minusminusx a

f (x) f(a)limx a

and we have

LHD = f (andash) = minusrarr

minusminusx a

f (x) f(a)limx a

and RHD = f (a+) = +rarr

minusminusx a

f (x) f(a)limx a

Another alternative form of derivative by using centered difference quotient Let (a ndash h a + h) be neighbourhood of lsquoa of radius lsquoh and centre lsquoa then the quotient

+ minus minus + minus minus=

Consider the limit rarr

if x = f (t) is a decreasing function of t then the above term are RHD and LHD respectively

(ii) Alternatively we can eliminate the parameter lsquot and get y = f(x) and then we can investigate the differentiability at x

Implicit functions are those in which y cannot be expressed exclusively in terms of x ie if the relation between the variables x and y are given by an equation containing both and this equation is not immediately solvable for y then y is called an implicit function of x For example y2 + x2 + 2xy - 3x2y = 0 or x2 y = sinxy etc

differentiate entire function with respect to x treating y as a function of x

243 errors and approXIMatIons

Let a function y = f(x) be defined and if Dx be the error occurred while calculating x then we may also get an error in calculation of y ie f(x) The correct value of y should have been y = (x + Dx) But the value that we have obtained because of the error in calculation of x will be y = f(x) Therefore f(x + Dx) ndash f(x) will be the error in calculation of y and is denoted Dy

Application of Derivatives 24279

2431 Types of Errors 1 absolute errors It is the deviation of measured value of a physical quantity from its actual

value ie error = Dy = f(x + Dx) ndash f(x)

2 Relative errors It is the ratio of error to the total quantity measured eg yyδ where dy is absolute

error and y is actual value

3 Percentage errors It is given by relative error times 100 ie y 100yδ

times

4 Maximum probable error It is the error encountered in the final measured quantity assuming that all the errors occurring in the measurement of component quantities have same sign ie cumulative in nature eg if z = f(x) + f(y) then maximum probable error in z = |error in f(x)| + |error in f(y)|

Given a point P(a b) which does not lie on the curve y = f(x) then the equa-tion of possible tangents to the curve y = f(x) passing through (a b) can be found by first finding the point of contact Q of the tangent with the curve

Let point Q be (x1 y1)Since Q lies on the curve we have y1 = f(x1) hellip(1)

Also the slope of PQ = the slop of the tangent at the point Q on the

2411 shortest dIstance between two non-IntersectIng curves

The shortest distance between two non-intersecting curves is found along the common normal to the two curves In fact if the two curves also have the largest distance between them then it is also found along the common normal to the two curves This can be established with the help the concept of maximum minima

In the figure we notice that the shortest distance between the curves is AB and the largest distance between them is PQ both of which are found along a common normal Note that the common normal may be different in two cases

(i) Set of points of domain of function in which the function is monotonically increasing is called domain of monotonic increasing (Interval of monotonic increasing if it is an interval)

(ii) Set of points of domain of function in which the function is monotonically decreasing is called domain of monotonic decreasing (Interval of monotonic decreasing if it is an interval)

2416 crItIcal poInt

The points at which f (x) = 0 or f (x) does not exist are called critical point The point where f (x) = 0 are called stationary points

Remarks

(i) At critical points function may change its monotonicity but it is not always the case

(ii) If x = a is a critical point of f(x) then it is also for the function g(x) = f(x) + k k = constant and x = a + k is critical point for g(x) = f(x + k)

(iii) For a function discontinuous at x = a derivative test does not work for such function monotonicity is tested by using the basic definition of monotonic function at a point

(iv) If a function is strictly monotonic then it may be discontinuous

Application of Derivatives 24285

(v) For a discontinuous function if f(x) gt 0 forall x isin Df then it is not necessary that function is increasing

(vi) If f(x) is discontinuous then f(x) lt 0 forall x isin Df ⇏ f(x) is decreasing

(vii) For a continuous function on ℝ if f(a) = 0 f(a) ne 0 or f(a) does not exist due to sharp point then x = a is a critical point

Case 1 If f (x) lt 0 forall x isin (ndashinfin a) and f(x) gt 0 forall x isin (a infin) then (ndashinfin a] is the interval of monotonic decreasing of f(x) and [a infin) is the interval of monotonic increasing of f(x)

Case 2 If f lsquo(x) gt 0 forall x isin (ndashinfin a) and f(x) lt 0 forall x isin (a infin) then (ndash infin a] is the interval of monotonic increasing of f(x) and [a infin) is the interval of monotonic decreasing of f(x)

(viii) If f (a) = 0 and f (a) = 0 then x = a is called point of inflexion and is not a critical point In such case monotonicity of f(x) in left neighbourhood (a ndash h a) and right neighbourhood (a + h a) remain same

(ix) If f(x) is a continuous function then its intervals of monotonicity can be obtained by first finding the critical point ie point where f (x) = 0 or f (x) does not exist (f (x) ne infin) and then analysing the behaviour of f (x) to be positive or negative in the neighbourhood of critical point

(x) If f(x) is continuous function and f(a) = plusmninfin then f(x) has same monotonicity in left and right neighbourhoods of x = a

If f(a ndashh) gt 0 and frsquo(a + h) gt 0 h rarr 0+ then f(x) is monotonically increasing at x = a and f(x) is strictly increasing in (a ndash h a + h) h rarr 0+

Simillary If frsquo(a ndashh) lt 0 and frsquo(a + h) lt 0 h rarr 0+ then f(x) is monotonically decreasing at x = a and f(x) is strictly decreasing in (a ndash h a + h) h rarr 0+

(xi) While presenting the answer for intervals of monotonic increasedecrease do not use union symbols without taking adequate care

∵ It may happen that f(x) decreases in two intervals but fail to behave so in their union

Consider f(x) = x2 endashx Here f(x) darr for (ndashinfin 0) and also for (2 infin)

But as is evident from the graph of the function x1 lt x2 rArr f(x) gt f(x2) but x2 lt x3 ⇏ f(x2) gt f(x3)

Rather x2 lt x3 rArr f(x2) lt f(x3)

f(x) is not decreasing on (ndashinfin 0) cup (2 infin)

(xii) (Although when f (x) is discontinuous then this may happen that if f(x) increases in [a b] and [c d] both so it is also increases in [a b] cup [c d]

For instance see the graph function y = f(x)

Here the function increases in the intervals (a b) (c d) and we may proceed to write that it in (a b) cup (c d)

∵ Here we have f(b) ge f(c)

1 If f(x) is uarr in [a b] decreases in [c d] again uarr in [d e] Then f(x) increases in [a b] cup [d e] is true iff maximum value forall x isin [a b] should be less than min value of f(x) forall x isin [d e] ie f(b) lt f(d)

For example consider f(x) as shown in the figure 2 If f(x) is uarr in [a b] in [c d] and again uarr in [d e] then f(x) is decreasing

in [a b] cup [d e] iff minimum value of f(x) forall x isin [a b] is less then the maximum value of f(x) forall x isin [d e] ie f(b) gt f(d)

2421 poInts of InfleXIon

The point of inflexion is a point which separates the convex portion of the curve from its concave portion

Remarks 1 At the point of inflexion tangent (if exist) cuts the curve

2 Continuous function lsquof rsquo need not have an inflection point at all the points satisfying f(x) = 0 If f(x) = x4 we have f(0) = 0 but the graph of f is always concave up and hence there is no point of inflection

Let us take the function y = x5 ndash 5x4 Here y = 20x2 (x ndash 3)

Now y= 0 for x = ndash3 the second derivative changes sign and thus x = 3 is a point of inflection But when x passes through the point x = 0 the second derivative retains constant sign and therefore the origin is not a point of inflection (since the graph of the given function is concave up on both sides of the origin)

3 If x = c is a point of inflection of a curve y = f(x) and at this point there exists the second derivative f(c) then f(c) is necessarily equal to zero (f(c) = 0)

4 The point (1 0) in y = (x ndash 1)3 being both a critical point and a point of inflection is a point of horizontal inflection (Q the tangent at (1 0) on y is parallel to x-axis)

5 If a function f is such that the derivative f is continuous at x = c and f(c) = 0 while f(c) ne 0 then the curve y = f(x) has a point of inflection for x = c

Application of Derivatives 24289

6 It should be noted that a point separating a concave up arc of a curve from a concave down arc may be such that the tangent at that point is perpendicular to the x-axis ie vertical tangent or such that the tangent does not exist

This can be demonstrated easily by the behavior of the graph of the

function = 3 x in the vicinity of the origin In such a case we speak of a point of inflection with vertical tangent

7 A number c such that f(c) is not defined and the concavity of f changes at c will correspond to an inflection point if and only if f(c) is defined In other words for a point lsquocrsquo to be a point of inflection f(x) must be defined at x = c even if f(x) is not defined at x = c

2427 alternatIve forM of lMvt

If a function f(x) is continuous in a closed interval [a a + h] and derivable in the open interval (a a + h) then there exists at least one number lsquoqrsquoisin (0 1) such that f (a + h) = f(a) + h f (a + q h)

MaxiMa and MiniMa

2428 local MaXIMa

A function f(x) is said to have a local maxima at x = a if f(a) is greater than every other value assumed by f(x) in the immediate neighbourhood of x = a

f(a) f(a h)f(a) f(a h)

ge +ge minus

24281 Local Minima

A function f(x) is said to have a minima at x = b if f(b) f(b h)f(b) f(b h)

le + le minus

for a sufficiently small positive h

Application of Derivatives 24293

Remarks

The term lsquoextremumrsquo or lsquoextremalrsquo or lsquoturning valuersquo is used both for maximumminimum value

The above definition is applicable to all functions continuous or discontinuous differentiable or non-differentiable at x = a

If the graph of a function f attains a local maximum at the point (a f(a)) then x = a is called the point of local maximum and f(a) is called the local maximum value A similar terminology is used for local minimum

A function can have several local maximum and minimum values

If a function is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing at an interior point x = a it cannot have an extremum at x = a and vice versa

A local maximum (local minimum) value of a function may not be the greatest (least) value in a finite interval A local minimum value may be greater than a local maximum value

For a continuous function there must exist one local minima between any two local maxima and vice-versa

However this may or may not be the case for discontinuous functions

necessary and sufficient condition for local maxima and local minima (for differentiable function) (a) for local Maxima f (x0) = 0 and f (x) changes its sign from positive to negative as we go from left to right

crossing x0 ie f (x0 ndash h) gt 0 f (x0 ) = 0 and f (x0 + h) lt 0 (b) for local Minima f (x0) = 0 and f (x) changes its sign from negative to positive as we go from left to right crossing x0

discrete values function A real valued function whose domain is a finite or countable set is called discrete valued function Since the function can give exactly one image of every point of domain the range of discrete-valued functions is also finite or countable

For example f(x) = n2 n isin ℕ is a discrete function with domain ℕ set of natural numbers and range = n2 n isin ℕ = 1 4 9 16hellip

For such function f (x) is evaluated and we find the intervals of monotonic increasing and monotonic decreasing ie intervals for which f (n) gt 0 and f (n) lt 0 Let they be [n1 n2] and [n3 n4] Then we observed f(n1) f(n2) f(n3) f(n4) and max f(n2) f(n3) gives us maximum value of function and minf(n1) f(n4) gives us the minimum value of function If n ( = 1 2 3 4) is not in the domain of function then the real number in the domain nearest to n serves the purpose but it should be in the same interval of monotonicity in which n lies

eg let f(x) = 2

n (n )n 90

then f (x) gt 0 for x (0 90)isin and f (x) lt 0 for x ( 90 )isin infin

rArr f(n) has greatest value at n 90 948=

but x isin IrArr f(x) has its greatest value either at x = 9 or at n = 10 Now f(9) = 119 and f(10) = 119 Thus f(9) = f(10) = 119 is the greatest term

Chapter 25IndefInIte IntegratIon

251 INTRODUCTION

Integration is the inverse process of differentiation Instead of differentiating a function we are given the derivative of a function and asked to find its primitive ie the original function Such a process is called integration or anti-differentiation

2511 Anti-derivative of a Function

A function F(x) is called an anti-derivative of the function f(x) on the interval I say [x1 x2] iff at all the points of the interval I Fprime(x) = f(x) if x is terminal point of the interval ie x1 or x2 then Fprime(x) shall be only one-sided derivative eg Fprime(x1

+) at x1 and Fprime(x2ndash) at x = x2 Thus if f(x) is derivative

of F(x) then F(x) is an aniderivative of f(x) In fact F(x) + C C = arbitraly constant is the set of all antiderivatives of f(x)

2512 Notation of Anti-derivatives or Indefinite Integral

If Fprime(x) = f(x) forall x isin I (closed interval) then = +int f(x)dx F(x) C (anti-derivative of f(x)) where C is arbitrary constant called constant of integration

Remarks

(i) Anti-derivatives of a function f(x) if exist then they are infinitely many If F(x) is one of the anti-derivative then F(x) + C C = arbitrary constant is the set of all antiderivates

(ii) Any two anti-derivaties of a fanction differ by a constant

(iii) For anti-derivative of a function f(x) to exist over an interval [x1 x2] it is necessary that the function is continuous in that interval

(iv) Geometrically an indefinite integral int f ( x )dx is a family of curves y = F(x) + C each of whose

members is obtained by translating any one of the curves parallel to itself vertically upwards or downwards (that is along the y-axis)

261352 Method of tracing the region represented by inequality

Each curve f(x y) = 0 divides the entire x ndash y plane into three set of points as given in figure

R1 = (x y) f(x y) = 0 x y isinℝ ie the points lying on the curve f(x y) = 0

R2 = (x y) f(x y) gt 0 x y isinℝ ie the points lying on one side of the curve f(x y) = 0 (outside the curve if closed)

R3 = (x y) f(x y) lt 0 x y isinℝ ie the points lying on other side of f(x y) = 0 (inside the curve if closed)

Steps to Identify the Region Represented by a Given Inequality (say) f(x y) gt 0

Step I Consider the equality and draw the curve using the symmetry and other concepts of curve sketching and transformation of graphs

Step II Consider any points (a b) not lying on the curve preferably (0 0) or point on coordinate axis and determine the sign of f(a b)

Step III If f(a b) gt 0 then f(x y) gt 0 represents the region containing (a b) If f(a b) lt 0 then the region which does not contains point (a b) will be represented by inequality f(x y) gt 0

Note that the region represented by inequality f(x y) gt 0 or f(x y) lt 0 does not contain the points on the curve whereas the region represented by inequality f(x y) ge 0 and f(x y) le 0 contains the points on the curve

27221 Order

It is the order of the highest order derivative appearing in the differential equation The order of differential equation states about the number of times the family of curve has been differentiated in order to eliminate all its parameters to form the given differential equation Therefore the order of differential equation is same as the number of effective arbitrary constants present in the family of curves from which the differential equation is derived

We know that differential equations are used to represent a family of curves Family of curves is defined as a set of infinite curves having some common characteristics and atleast one variable characteristic which is represented by unknown parameter involved in the equation of family of curves (ie atleast one parameter) By assigning different values to these parameters (arbitrary constants) different members of the family of curves can be obtained

27412 Double parameter familyThese are the equations having two parameters so called family of family of curves

eg y = mx + c denoting family of family of lines in xy planeeg two families of the above family of family of lines are shown in the figure y = x + k when m = 1 y = mx + 2 when c = 2Similarly other two parameter family of curves are (x ndash h)2 + y2 = r2 (circles) y = A sin x + B cos x

RemarksIt is evident that a differential equation of the nth order cannot have more than n arbitrary constants in its solution for if it had say (n + 1) on eliminating them there would appear not an equation of the nth order but one of the (n + 1)th order Finally the differential equation corresponding to a family of curves is obtained by using the following steps

(a) Identify the number of essential arbitrary constants (say n) in the equation of the curve

(b) Differentiate the equation n times

(c) Eliminate the arbitrary constants from the equation of curve and n additional equations obtained in step (b)

Notes

(i) The general solution of an ordinary differential equation of nth order contains n independent parameters (essential arbitrary constant) which means the general solution of an ordinary differential equation of order one contains one arbitrary parameter and of second order contains two independent parameters and so on

Differential Equation 27341

(ii) The general solution of a differential equation contains exactly as many essential parameters as the degree of equation While counting the parameters in the general solution it must be seen that they are essential and are not equivalent to a lesser number of parameters The parameters in the solution of a differential equation are said to be essential if it is impossible to deduce from the solution an equivalent relation containing lesser number of parameters

27613 Singular solutions

General solution of differential equations may not include all possible solutions consequently the differential equation may also possess other solutions than the general solution The solution which cannot be obtained by giving any value to arbitrary constants present in the general solution are termed as singular solution

In order to realize the existence of singular solution consider an example of family of circles (x ndash h)2 + y2 = a2 where h is parameter and a is fixed constant

It is the general solution of differential equation 2 2

2864 Linearly Independent Vectors

A system of n vectors 1 2 3 na a a a

is said to be linearly independent if none of them can be written as the linear combination of the remaining Therefore mathematically it means

If 1 1 2 2 3 3 n na a a a 0λ +λ +λ + +λ =

rArr λ = λ = = λ =1 2 n 0 where 1 2 n λ λ λ are n scalars

For example two non-collinear vectors are always linearly independent three non-coplanar vectors are always linearly independent

291 IntroductIon

Since all points in a 3D space do not lie in a plane therefore to locate these points two co-ordinates are not sufficient Therefore to locate a point in a three-dimensional space we need three co-ordinates corresponding to three mutually perpendicular co-ordinate axes

These three co-ordinate axes divide the entire space into 8 parts each known as octant as shown here in the figure

29116 Co-ordinates of Point of Intersection

Of two lines in space can be obtained they are non-parallel non-coincident but are intersecting

Method 1

Step I Compare the position vector of both lines ie let position vector of point of intersection be r

Step II Compare the scalar coefficient of linearly independent vectors to get three linear equations in l and m

Step III Solving any two to get l and m and if the values obtained satisfy 3rd equation then lines are intersecting and for the obtained value of l get the position vector of the point

Method 2

Step I Take a general point of L1 = 0 (ll1+x1 lm1+y1 ln1+z1)

Step II Substituted in equation L2 = 0 to get two equations in l

Step III If the values of l obtained from both equation are same then the lines Intersect otherwise they are parallel or skew

Step IV If the lines intersect then the values of l obtained generate point of intersection

Special Cases If [c a)b d] 0 and b kdminus = ne

lines intersect

point of intersection is C

Chapter 30probability

301 ExpErimEnts

An experiment is a set of processes which are carried out under stipulated conditions to study the phenomenon associated with it It is defined as below

ldquoA mathematical operation which results in some well-defined outcomes is known as experimentrdquo Broadly there can be two types of experiments These are as follows (a) Random experiments Prediction of any specific outcome is impossible before completion of

experiments For example tossing of a coin throwing of a die etc (b) Non-random experiments Prediction of some of the outcomes can be made before performing

the experiments For example ratio of hydrogen and oxygen in a molecule of H2O throwing of a two-dimentioal die etc

Sample Space

Set(S) of all possible outcomes of random experiments For example S = 1 2 3 4 5 6 for die and S = HT for tossing a coin

Infinite Sample Space

Sample space having infinite number of elements These are of two types (a) Discrete Sample Space Having elements which can be put into a set with onendashone

correspondence with the set of natural numbers (ie sample space is countability infinite) For example tossing of a coin till a head appears S = HTHTTHTTTHhellip

(b) Continuous Sample Space Sample space is an interval or union of interval for example lifetime of a computer hard-disk manufactured by HCL has sample space S =[0 infin)

NoteThe problems related with continuous sample space are generally solved using geometrical equivalent of sample space and event space and they will be dealt in our coming article under the heading Geometrical Probability

3011 EventA subset of sample space For example E1 = 2 4 6 is the event of getting even numbers in the experi-ments of throwing of a die where S = 1 2 3 4 5 6 Clearly E1 sube S

Probability 30383

Single Event An event having single point

Compound Event An event having more than one point

Impossible Event An event having elements outside the sample space or which is emptyFor example event of getting 7 while throwing a die

Possible Event An event having elements from the sample space

Sure or Certain Event An event which is equal to the sample space

Mutually Exclusive EventsA set of events is said to be mutually exclusive if occurrence of one of them precludes the occurrence of any of the remaining events If a set of events E1 E2 En are mutually exclusive events ie Ei cap Ej = f for all i j = 1 2 n and i ne j then P(E1 cup E2 cup cup En) = P(E1) + P(E2) + P(E3) + + P(En)

3012 Exhaustive EventsA set of events is said to be exhaustive if the performance of the experiment results in the occurrence of at least one of them Therefore if a set of events E1 E2 En are exhaustive events then

P(E1 cup E2 cup cup En) = 1 =

=

n

ii 1

E S

Two events A and B are said to be mutually exhaustive if P(A cup B) = 1 ie A cup B = S

3013 Equally Likely EventsThe given events say E1 E2 En are said to be equally likely if all the factors are taken into consideration we have no reason to believe that anyone of these factors has better chances of occurrence than the other That is P (E1) = P(E2) = = P(En)

3014 Disjoint Events

Events E1 and E2 are said to be disjoint when they have no common elements That is E1 cap E 2 = f

Complementary Event Of E is Ec = (S ndash E)

3015 Independent and Dependent Events

Two events are said to be dependent if the occurence or non-occurrence of one does decides and disturbs the occurrence or non-occurrence of the other For example in the withdrawl of cards from a deck of cards without replacement the outcomes will be dependent events but if the withdrawl is done with replacement the outcomes will be independent If a set of events E1 E2 En are independent Events then P(E1 cap E2 cap E3 cap cap En) = P(E1) P(E2) P (En)

3016 Mutually Exclusive and Exhaustive EventsA set of events is said to be mutually exclusive as well as exhaustive if the conditions as given below are satisfied

Ei cap Ej = f V i j such that i ne j and E1 cup E2 cupcup En = Sfor mutually exclusive and exhaustive events E1 E2 EnProbability of occurrence of atleast one of them

= P(E1 cup E2 cup cup En) = P(E1) + P(E2) + + P(En) = 1

30384 Mathematics at a Glance

Trials Experiments performed repeatedly are known as trialsProbability of occurrence of an eventIf an event can happen in x ways and fail to happen in y ways and each of these ways is equally likely

then the probability or the chance of its occurrence will be +x

x y and that of its non-occurrence

will be +y

x y

Mathematical and Classical Definition of Probability

For an experiment with continuous finite sample space S the probability of occurrence of an event E is

denoted by P(E) and it is defined as n(E) number of elements in EP(E)n(S) number of elementsinspace S

= =

= number of outcomes favourable to E in sample space S

total number of outcomes (elements) in S

For example in the experiment of throwing a dice the probability of getting 2 as an outcome is 16

30161 Properties of probability of event

1 The probability P(E) of occurrence of any event E lies between 0 and 1

2 Complementary event of E is denoted as Ec or Eprime or E which literally means non-occurrence of E Thus E occurs only when E does not occurs Therefore + =P(E) P(E) 1

3 If E is an impossible event then P(E) = 0 4 If E is a possible event then 0 lt P(E) lt 1 5 If E is a certain event then P(E) = 1

Property 4 If any two rows or two columns of a determinant are interchanged the determinant retains its absolute value but changes its sign and symbolically the interchange of ith and jth rows or ith and jth columns is written as

i jR R∆ = minus∆ i jC C(or )minus∆

Property 5 The value of a determinant is zero if any two rows or columns are identical Symbolically it is written as DRi equiv Rj

= 0 or DCi equiv Cj = 0

Property 6 (a) If every element of a given row of matrix A is multiplied by a number l the matrix thus obtained has determinant equal to l (det A) As a consequence if every element in a row of a determinant has the same factor this can be factored out of the determinant Symbolically it is written as

i i1R Rm

mrarr

∆ = ∆

(b) If all the elements of a row (column) of a determinant are multiplied by a constant (k) then the determinant gets multiplied by that constant

Property 7 The value of the determinant corresponding to a triangular determinant is equal to product of its principal diagonal elements

Property 8 If any row or column of a determinant be passed over n rows or columns the resulting determinant will be (ndash1)n times the original determinantProperty 9 (a) If every element of a column or (row) is the sum (difference) of two terms then the determinant is equal to the sum (difference) of two determinants of same order one containing only the first term in place of each sum the other only the second term The remaining elements of both determinants are the same as in the given determinant (b) A determinant having two or more terms in the elements of a row (or column) can be written as the

sum of two or more determinantsProperty 10 The value D of a determinant A remains unchanged if all the elements of one row (column) are multiplied by a scalar and added or subtracted to the corresponding elements of another row (column) Symbolically it is written as

i i jR R mRrarr +∆ = ∆ (or j j iC C mCrarr +∆ ) and operation is also symbolically written as

Ri rarr Ri + mRj or Cj = Cj + mCi

Property 11 (a) The sum of the products of elements of a row (or column) with their corresponding co-factors is equal to the value of the determinant For example a11C11 + a12 C12 + a13 C13 = a21 C21 + a22 C22 + a23 C23 = D (b) Sum of the products of elements of any row (or column) with the co-factors of the corres sponding

elements of a parallel row (or column) is always zero For example a11 C21 + a12 C22 + a13C23 = 0Property 12 If the elements of a determinant D involve x ie the determinant is a polynomial in x and if it vanishes for x = a then (x ndash a) must be a factor of D In other words if two rows (or two column) become identical for x = a then (x ndash a) is a factor of D Generalizing this result we can say if r rows (or r columns) become identical when a is substituted for x then (x ndash a)r ndash 1 should be a factor of D

For example if 2

3

x 5 2x 9 4x 16 8

∆ = at x = 2 D = 0 (∵ C1 and C2 become identical at x = 2)

3195 CautionWhile applying all the above properties from property 1 to property 10 atleast one row (or column) must remain unchanged

311063 Method to break a determinant as the product of two determinants

(a) Observe the diagonal symmetry of the elements and apply the following facts q The determinant of skew symmetric determinant with odd order always vanishes Therefore any

odd order skew symmetric determinant can be broken into product of two matrices of which atleast one is singular

q The determinant of skew symmetric determinant with even order is a perfect square Therefore an even ordered skew symmetric determinant can be written as a square of a determinant having symmetrical elements

(b) Observe the symmetry of the elements and make sure whether (i j)th element of the given determinant can be written as Ri Cj where Ri is the i th row of the first factor (determinant) and Cj is the jth column of the second factor (determinant)

(c) While applying the approach (b) it is advised to choose the (i j)th element to be diagonal elements

3111 differentiation of deterMinantS

The differentiation of a determinant can be obtained as the sum of as many determinants as the order The process can be carried out along the rowcolumn by differentiating one rowcolumn at a time and retaining the others as they are

321 Measures of Central tendenCy

For a given date a single value of the variable which describes its characteristics is identified This single value is known as the average An average value generally lies in the central part of the distribution and therefore such values are called the measures of central tendency The commonly used measures of central tendency are (a) Arithmetic Mean (b) Geometric Mean (c) Harmonic Mean (d) Median (e) Mode

Statistics 32417

3281 Computation of Mode

(a) Mode of Individual Series In the case of individual series the value which is repeated maximum number of times is the mode of the series

(b) Mode of Discrete Series In the case of discrete frequency distribution mode is the value of the variate corresponding to the maximum frequency

Case (i) If a group has two or more scores with the same frequency and that frequency is the maximum positive distribution is bimodal or multimodal that is to say it has several modes eg 1 1 1 4 4 5 5 5 7 8 9 9 9 has modes 1 5 and 9

Case (ii) When the scores of a group all have the same frequency there is no mode eg 2 2 3 3 6 6 9 9 has no mode

Case (iii) If two adjacent values are the maximum frequency the average of two adjacent scores is

the mode 0 1 3 3 5 5 7 8 mode = +=

Any presentation or work on Mathematics must be conceived as an art rather than a text This is where this work holds it differently During my school days and throughout my long teaching career I realized that most of the JEE aspirants feel the need of a book that may provide them with rapid revision of all the concepts they learned and their important applications throughout their two years long time of preparation I prefer to call it Mathematics at a Glance The present book is written with sole objective of that The entire syllabus of Mathematics for AIEEE JEE Mains and JEE Advanced has been presented in an unprecedented format The reader ought to have the following pre requisites before going through it

(i) HeShe must have ample knowledge of high school Mathematics (ii) Must have conceptualtheoretical knowledge behind the various mathematical thoughts presented (iii) Must be confident enough that heshe is not the father of Mathematics and if not comfortable with

any concept or text we shall be thankful to have your valuable advice

As the name of this work suggests that it has been designed to help during revision It must be kept in mind that the motive of the text is to provide a recapitulation of the entire mathematics that you have studied in your mainstream syllabus While going through the book if you want detailed analysis of any thought or idea you must go for

ldquoFundamentals of Mathematics---By Sanjay MishrardquoAll the suggestions for improvement are welcome and shall be greatfully acknowledged

14 STATEMENTS AND MATHEMATICAL STATEMENTS

141 Statement

It is a sentence which is complete in itself and explains its meanings completely eg Delhi is the capital of India

142 Mathematical StatementsA given statement is mathematical if either it is true or it is false but not both

143 Scientific StatementA given sentence will qualify as a scientific statement even if it may be true conditionally eg mass can be neither created nor destroyed

Foundation of Mathematics 13

15 CLASSIFICATION OF MATHEMATICAL STATEMENTS

1 axiom Mathematical statements which are accepted as truth without any formal proof given for it eg Equals added to equals are equals

2 Definition Mathematical statement which is used to explain the meaning of certain words used in the subject

Eg ldquoThe integers other than plusmn1 and 0 which are divisible by either one or by themselves are called prime integersrdquo

3 Theorems A mathematical statement which is accepted as lsquotruthrsquo only when a formal proof is given for it like summation of interior angles of a triangle is 180 degree is a theorem

151 ConjecturesIn mathematics a conjecture is an unproven proposition that appears correct For example every even integer greater than two can be expressed as a sum of two primes

152 Mathematical Reasoning

Reasoning is a process of logical steps that enables us to arrive at a conclusion In mathematics there are two types of reasoning These are as follows 1 inductive Reasoning Like that in mathematical induction 2 Deductive Reasoning Series of steps to deduct one mathematical statement from the other and

their proof which will be discussed in the text

16 WORKING ON MATHEMATICAL STATEMENTS

161 Negation of a Statement

The denial of a statement is called its negation To negate a statement we can use phrases like ldquoIt is falserdquo ldquois notrdquo Rita is at home rArr Rita is not at home

162 Compounding of Statements

Compounding of statements is defined as combining two or more component statements using the connecting words like lsquoandrsquo and lsquoorrsquo etc The new statement formed is called a compound statement

Compounding with OR

p x is odd prime numberq x is perfect square of integer

x is a odd prime or a perfect square integer

Compounding with AND

p 2 is a prime numberq 2 is an even number

2 is a prime and even natural number

NoteOR be inclusive or exclusive depending both conditions are simultaneously possible or not respectively

14 Mathematics at a Glance

17 IMPLICATION OF A STATEMENT

If two statement p and q are connected by the group of words lsquoifhellip thenhelliprsquo the resulting compound statement

lsquoif p then qrsquo is called lsquoconditional implicationsrsquo of p and q is written in symbolic form as lsquop rarr qrsquo (read as lsquop implies qrsquo)

eg p the pressure increases q the volume increasesThen implication of the statements p and q is given by p rarr q if the pressure increases then the

volume decreases

171 Converse of a Statement

it is given by p rArr q means q rArr pIf a integer n is even then n2 is divisible by 4 Converse is ldquoIf n2 is divisible by 4 then n must be evenrdquo

172 Contra Positive of a Statement p rArr q is ~q rArr ~p

If a triangle has two equal sides then it is isosceles triangle Its contrapositive is lsquoif a triangle is not isosceles then it has no two sides equalrsquo

18 TRUTH VALUE

The truth (T) or falsity (F) of any statement is called its truth value Eg every mathematical statement is either true or false Truth value of a true statement is (T) and that of a false statement is (F)

Given below in the table are Venn Diagrams and truth tables of various mathematical and logical operations

19 QUANTIFIERS

These are phrases like ldquothere exists $rdquo ldquofor all forallrdquo less than greater than etc For example there exist a polygon having its all sides equal is known as a regular polygon

191 Proofs in MathematicsWe can prove a mathematical statement in various ways which are categorized as straightforward Mathod of exhaustion Mathematical induction Using counter example Contradiction and Contrapositive statements

192 What is a Mathematical AssumptionA mathematical statement which is assumed to be true until a contradiction is achieved An assumed statement may prove to be false at a later stage of mathematical analysis

nuMbeR systeMWell Life without numbers is unpredictable Numbers have been used since ages to facilitate our transac-tions regarding trade exchange or other mathematical purposes Number system has successfully replaced the Bartar system of exchange In this text we will discuss the number system followed by mathematical analysis of real world problems Our present number system is known as Indo-Arabic number system

110 SET OF NATURAL NUMBERS

ℕ = x x is counting number) Counting numbers are called lsquonatural numbersrsquo and their set is denoted as = 1 2 3 4 5

16 Mathematics at a Glance

If 0 is not included in the set of natural numbers then we obtain whole numbers (W) W = 0 1 2 3

1101 Algebraic Properties of Natural Numbers

They are associative and commutative ie for all a b c in the set of natural numbersassociative law a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c a(bc) = (ab)ccommutative law a + b = b + a ab = ba

The cancellation law holds for natural numbers If a b c are natural numbers a + c = b + crArr a = b ac = bc rArr a = b (c is not equal to zero)

Distribution of multiplication over addition a(b + c) = ac + bc Order properties (i) law of trichomy Given any two natural numbers a and b exactly one of the following

holds a gt b or a lt b or a = b (ii) transitivity For each triplet of natural numbers a b c a gt b and b gt c implies that a gt c (iii) Monotone Property for addition and Multiplication For each triplet of natural

numbers a gt b rArr a + c gt b + c and ac gt bc existence of additive and multiplicative identity Zero is an additive identity element and 1 is

a multiplicative identity element existence of additive and multiplicative inverse For every integer x there always exists its

negative ndashx which when added to x makes additive identity Multiplicative inverse of x is an element which when multiplied to x makes multiplicative identity 1

111 SET OF INTEGERS

When negatives of natural numbers are included in a set of whole numbers then a set of integers is formed ℤ = ndash4 ndash3 ndash2 ndash1 0 1 2 3 4

112 GEOMETRICAL REPRESENTATION OF INTEGERS

Greek Mathematicians invented Geometrical method of representing numbers on a line known as lsquonumber linersquo In this method a point is marked as zero (0) and with respect to zero the numbers are located in order of their magnitude The distance of number (x) from zero represents its magnitude (|x|)

1121 Properties of Integers (a) It is closed commutative associative and distributive for addition subtraction and multiplication (b) Zero is the identity element for addition and 1 is the identity for multiplication

Foundation of Mathematics 17

(c) Additive inverse of x is equal to ndashx Q x+ (ndashx) = 0 (d) Multiplicative inverse of x is 1x provided x ne 0 as x 1x = 1 (e) Cancellation law holds for addition as well as multiplication (f) Property of order forall x y isinℤ either x gt y or x = y or x lt y Also known as law of trichomy

113 DIVISION ALGORITHM

Given are two integers a and b such that a gt b and b gt 0 then there exist two integers q and r such that a = bq + r where a dividend b divisor q quotient r remainder

Properties The remainder r is a non-negative integer which is less than the divisor b 0 le r lt b where r = 0 1 2 3 4 b ndash 1 If the remainder r = 0 then a = bq Then a is called completely divisible by b (ie multiple of b) and b and q are called factors of a

1131 Even and Odd Integers (a) Set of even integer = x x = 2k where k isin ℤ (b) Set of odd integers = x x = 2k + 1 where k isin ℤ

1132 Prime Integer

An integer x (other than 0 ndash1 and 1) is called prime iff it has only positive divisors as 1 and itself eg 2 3 5 7 etc

11321 Properties

An integer other than 0 ndash1 and 1 which are non-primes are called composite numbers A composite integer has atleast three factors

1 ndash1 0 are neither prime nor composite Twin Primes A pair of primes is said to be twin primes if they differ by 2 ie 3 5 and 11 13 etc Co-Primes A pair of integers is said to be co-primes if they have no common positive divisor except

1 eg 8 5 and 12 35 If p is prime and greater than or equal to 5 then p is either 6k + 1 or 6k ndash 1 but converse is not

necessarily true If p is prime and greater than 5 then p2 ndash 1 is always divisible by 24

114 FACTORIAL NOTATION

Factorial of r is denoted as r and is defined as product of first r natural numbers ie r = 1 2 3 4hellip (r ndash 1)reg 1 = 1 2 = 2 3 = 6 4 = 24 5 = 120 6 = 720 7 = 5040

Product of any r consecutive integer is always divisible by r

The set of statements P(n) n isin N is true for each natural number n ge m is provided thatP(m) is trueP(k) is true for n = k (where k ge m)rArr P(n) is true for

n = k + 1

Let there be a proposition or a mathematical statement namely P(n) involving a natural num-ber n In order to prove that P(n) is true for all natural numbers n ge m we proceed as followsVerify that P(m) is trueAssume that P(k) is true (where k ge m)Prove that P(k + 1) is trueOnce step ndash (c) is completed after (a) and (b) we are through ie P(n) is true for all natural numbers n ge m

Ratio It is a rational between two quantities that tells us what multiplepart one quantity is of the other Therefore if x and y are two quantities of the same kind then their ratio is x y which may be denoted by xy (This may be an integer or fraction)

1 A ratio may be represented in a number of ways eg x mx nxy my ny= = = where m nare

non-zero numbers 2 To compare two or more ratios always reduce them to a common denominator

inequality ax + by + c gt 0 Similarly in case b lt 0 we can prove that the point satisfying ax + by + c gt 0 lies in the

half plane I Hence we infer that all points satisfying ax + by + c gt 0 lies in one of the half plane II or I

21 ExponEntial Function

If a is a positive real number then ax (a ne 1) is always positive and it is called lsquoexponential function of xrsquo Here a is called lsquobasersquo and x is called index

211 Properties of Exponential Functions

(i) As we know that = times times times forall isin

n

n times

a a a a n where a is called lsquobasersquo and n is index or exponent

Exponential function f(x) = ax is generalisation of this law to facilitate some useful applications with some imposed functional restrictions ie a gt 0 and a ne 1

(ii) Domain of f(x) is set of real number and range of f(x) is (0 infin) ie forall x isinℝ f(x) = ax associates x to some positive real number uniquely ie exponential function f(x) is defined such that it is invertible

(iii) For a lt 0 and a = 0 the function f(x) = ax loses its meaning for some values of x isin ℝ For instance for a = ndash1 ndash12 ndash3 etc

f(x) = ax becomes non-real forall =pxq

where p and q are co-prime and q is an even integer

eg (ndash3)32 (ndash1)14 etcSimilarly when base a = 0 then f(x) = 0x does not remain an one-to-one function which is required for invariability same restriction also holds for a = 1 Since then f(x) = 1x again becomes many one function as all inputs x get associated to single output 1Therefore we conclude that for f(x) = ax the base a gt 0 a ne 1 and x isin ℝ thus y isin (0 infin)

(iv) If the base a is Euler number lsquoersquo then the exponential function ex is known as natural exponential function

212 Laws of Indices

(i) ax is defined and ax gt 0 forall x isin ℝ (ii) a0 = 1 We can observe that rarrn a 1 as n assumes very large value (n rarr infin) and it is true for both

cases ie a gt 1 or a isin (0 1) therefore when n rarr infin = = =1n 0n a a a 1

213 Graphical Representation of an Exponential Function

input x increases It can be understood from the table given below

x ndash3 ndash2 ndash1 0 1 2 3 4 2ax 18 14 12 1 2 4 8 16 32

input x increases which can be observed in the following table

3 If the base a gt 1 then ax ge 1 for all x ge 0 and ax lt 1 when x lt 0 if 0 lt a lt 1 then 0 lt ax lt 1 for x gt 0 and ax gt 1 for x lt 0 The above fact as well as the relative position of graphs of exponenital functions with different bases can be understood with the help of following figure

If the base a gt 1 then ax ge 1 for all x ge 0

214 Composite Exponential FunctionsA composite function is a function in which both the base and the exponent are the functions of x Generally any function of this form is a composite exponential function This function is also called an exponential power function or a power exponential function ie y = [u(x)]v(x) = uv In calculus the domain consists of such values of x for which u(x) and v(x) are defined and u(x) gt 0

215 Methods of Solving Exponential Equation

To solve an exponential equation we make use of the following facts

(i) If the equation is of the form ax = ay(a gt 0) rArr x = y or a = 1 (ii) If the equation is of the form ax = bx (a b gt 0) rArr either x = 0 or a = b (iii) If the equation is of the form ax = k (a gt 0) then

Case I If b ge 0 rArr x isin Case II If b gt 0 k ne 1 rArr x = logak Case III If a = 1 k ne 1 rArr x isin Case IV If a = 1 k = 1 rArr x isin ℝ(Since 1x = 1 rArr 1 = 1 x isin ℝ)

(iii) If the equation is of the form af(x) = ag(x) where a gt 0 and a ne 1 then the equation will be equivalent to the equation f(x) = g(x)

Remarksax = 1 rArr x = 0 is an incomplete conclusion it is only true if the base a ne 0 plusmn 1if a = 0 so equality does not holds as 00 is meaningless

Where as when a = 1 then an = 1 rArr 1x = 1 Thus x isin ℝ

In case a = ndash1 then (ndash1)x = 1 is true for x = pq when p is even and GCD of p and q = 1

22 Solving ExponEntial inEquality

(i) The value of ax increases as the value of x increases when base a isin (1 infin) but the value of ax de-

creases as the value of x increases when base a isin (0 1) ge gtge rArr le isin

x y x y if a 1a a

x y if a (01)

(ii) The elementary exponential inequalities are inequalities of form ax gt k ax lt k where a and k are certain numbers (a gt 0 a ne 1) Depending on the values of the parameters a and k the set of solutions of the inequality ax gt k can be in the following forms1 x isin (logak infin) for a gt 1 k gt 02 x isin (ndashinfin logak) for 0 lt a lt 1 k gt 03 x isin ℝ for a gt 0 k lt 0Depending on the values of a and k the set of solutions of the inequality ax lt k can be in the fol-lowing forms1 x isin (ndashinfin logak) for a gt 1 k gt 02 x isin (logak infin ) for 0 lt a lt 1 k gt 03 x isin for a gt 0 k lt 0 (ie the inequality has no solutions)

23 logaRitHMic Function

The logarithm of any number N to the given base a is the exponent or index or the power to which the base must be raised to obtain the number N Thus if ax = N x is called the logarithm of N to the base a It is denoted as logaN

loga N = x hArr ax = N a gt 0 a ne 1 and N gt 0

Notes

(a) The logarithm of a number is unique ie no number can have two different logarithms to a given base

(b) The base lsquoarsquo is a positive real number but excluding 1 ie a gt 0 a ne 1 As a consequence of the definition of exponential function we exclude a = 1

Since for a = 1 logax = y rArr x = ay = 1y which has no relevance to the cases of logax when x ne 1 ie for all values of exponent the value of x remains 1

(c) The number lsquoxrsquo represents result of exponentiation ie ay therefore it is also a positive real number ie x = ay gt 0

(d) The exponent lsquoyrsquo ie logarithm of lsquoxrsquo is a real number and neither a nor x equals to zero

(d) Domain of function y = logax is (0 infin) and the range (-infin infin)

when x rarr 0 then logax rarr-infin (for a gt 1) and logax rarr infin (for 0 lt a lt 1) because y = logax rArr x = ay which approaches to zero iff y rarr-infin as a-infin = 0 forall a gt 1 and when a isin (0 1) x = ay approaches to zero iff y rarr infin ∵ ainfin = 0 if 0 lt a lt 1

(e) Common Logarithms and Natural Logarithms The base of logarithm can be any positive number other than 1 but basically two bases are mostly used They are 10 and e (=2718 approximately) Logarithm of numbers to the base 10 are named as Common Logarithms whereas the logarithms of the numbers to the base e are called as Natural or Napierian logarithms

If a = 10 then we write log b instead of log10b

If a = e then we write ℓnb instead of logeb

We find logea = log10a loge10 or e10

e

log alog a 0434

log 10= = logea (this transformation is used to convert

natural logarithm to common logarithm)

231 Properties of Logarithm

P 1 loga 1 = 0 because 0 is the power to which a must be raised to obtain 1 P 2 logaa = 1 since 1 is the power to which a must be raised to obtain a P 3 alogaN = N and logaa

N = N as N is the power to which a must be raised to obtain aN P 4 logm(ab) = logm a + logmb (a gt 0 b gt 0) Logarithm of the product of two numbers to a certain base

is equal to the sum of the logarithms of the numbers to the same base

Exponential Logarithm 233

P 5 logm (ab) = logma-logmb logarithm of the quotient of two numbers is equal to the difference of their logarithms base remaining the same throughout

P 6 loga Nk = k logaN (k is any real number) Logarithm of the power of a number is equal to the product

of the power and logarithm of the number (base remaining the same) P 7 logak N = (1k)loga N

Note

(1) The property 4 5 6 7 are not applicable conditionally because logaM + logaN is defined only when M and N are both positive whereas logaMN is defined even if M and N are both negative Therefore logaMN cannot be always replaced by logaM + logaN Therefore such replacement can lead to loss of root while solving an equation

(2) Thus to avoid the loss of root we consider the following transformations

(a) logaMN = loga |M| + loga |N| (when MN gt 0)

(b) a a a

Mlog log |M | log |N |

N= minus (when MN gt 0 N ne 0)

(c) logaN2k = 2k loga |N| (when N ne 0 k an integer)

(d) k |a|a

1log N log N

2k2 = (when N gt 0 k is an integer ne 0 a ne 0 |a| ne 1)

(3) The transformation 2(a) 2(b) or also valid conditionally as LHS is defined when M and N have same sign whereas the RHS is defined for any arbitrary values of M and N other than zero So such replacement while solving an equation can generate extraneous roots but since extraneous roots can be counter checked (and those not satisfying the parent equation can always be discarded) on the other hand the loss of root is difficult be traced therefore it is suggested to use the results of 2(a) 2(b) 2(c) 2(d) in place of property number 4 5 6 7 While simplifying and solving equationinequations

P 8 logba = logca logbc

P 9 = =cb

If the differences of the successive terms (dkrsquos) of a series are in AP or GP then we can find nth term of the series by the following procedureStep 1 Denote the nth term and the sum of the series upto n terms of the series by Tn and Sn respectivelyStep 2 Rewrite the given series with each term shifted by one place to the rightStep 3 Then substract the second expression of Sn from the first expression to obtain Tn

Remarks

(a) Difference of successive terms is constant then nth term is given by Tn = a + bn (where a and b is constant)Sn = S Tn

(b) If difference of difference is constant then Tn = an2 + bn + c (where a b c are constant)

(c) If difference of difference is constant then Tn=an3 + bn2 + cn + d (where a b c d are constant)

521 Polynomial Equation

When a polynomials expression is equated to zero then it generates corresponding equation Roots of polynomial expression are the solution of its corresponding equation A Polynomial equation of nth degree has exactly n roots not necessarily all real (Because it can be

factorized into exactly n linear factors) Two polynomials are equal if they have same degree and same coefficients corresponding to same

power of x If sum of coefficients of a polynomial equation vanishes then x = 1 is one of its roots If sum of coefficients of odd power term of x is equal to the sum of coefficients of even power term

of x then x = ndash1 is one of its roots

Tips and TricksThe truth of the following statements will be readily admitted

1 If all the coefficients are real then the imaginary roots occurs in pairs (ie number of complex roots is always even)

2 If the degree of a polynomial equation is odd then the number of real roots will also be odd It follows than at least one of the roots will be real

3 Every equation of an odd degree has at least one real root whose sign is opposite to that of its last term

4 Every equation which is of even degree and has its last term negative has at least two real roots one positive and one negative

10 If the equation contains only even powers of x and the coefficients are all of the same sign the equation has no real root Thus the equation 2x6 + 3x4 + x2 + 7 = 0 cannot have a real root

11 If the equation contains only odd powers of x and the coefficients are all of the same sign the equation has no real root except x = 0 Thus the equation x9 + 2x5 + 3x3 + x = 0 has no real root except x = 0

12 If there is no change in sign then all the roots are imaginary

625 Injection and Bijection Principles

Suppose that a group of n students attend a lecture in a lecture theater which has 100 seats assuming that no student occupies more than one seat and no two students share a seat if it is known that every student has a seat then we must have n le 100 If it known furthermore that no seat is vacant then we are sure that n = 100 without actually counting the number of students

6251 Injection principle (IP)

Let A and B be two finite sets if there is an injection from A to B then |A| le |B|

6252 Bijection principle (BP)

Let A and B be two finite sets if there is a bijection from A to B then |A| = |B|

63 combinations and Permutations

Each of the groups or selections which can be made by taking some or all of a number of things without considering the order in which the objects are taken is called a combination Whereas a selection of objects where the order in which the objects are taken is also taken into account is called as an arrangementpermutation

To understand the concept of combination and permutation let us consider the combinations which can be made by taking the letters from a b c d two at a time namely

Combinations (total no 6)

NoteFrom the above illustration it is simply clear that in combinations we are only concerned with the number of things each selection contains without taking into account the order in which the objects are being selected (ie ab and ba are regarded as same selection) Whereas in permutation the order of objects is taken into account

64 Permutation oF diFFerent objects

Case I When repetition of objects is not allowedNumber of permutation of n distinct things taken r at a time (0 le r le n) is denoted by nPr and it is equivalent to filling up of r vacancies by n different person clearly first place can be filled in n ways and after which 2nd place can be filled in (n -1) ways and 3rd place can be filled in (n - 2) ways and similarly rth place can be filled in (n - r + 1) ways

Explanation let N be the required number of permutations From any of these if the p like things were different we could make p new permutations Thus if the p like things were all different we would have got N(p) new permutations Similarly if the q like things were different we would get N (q) new permutations from each of the second set of permutations

Thus if the p like things and the q like things were all different we would have got Npq permutations in all The process is continued untill all the sets of like things are different and we then get the number of permutations of n things taken all at a time when they are all different (which is n)

66 rank oF words

When all the letters of a word are arranged in all possible ways to form different words and the words formed are further arranged as per the order of ordinary dictionary then the position occupied by that word is called as its rank eg rank of the word MAT is 3 because it occupied third position in the alpha-betical list (AMT ATM MAT MTA TAM TMA) of words formed using letters A M T

67 circular Permutation

The arrangement of objects around a circle is called lsquocircular permutationrsquo Two circular permutations are called identical iff one of them can be super imposed on the other by a suitable rotation without overturn-ing and without changing the relative position of object eg following 5 circular permutations are identical

671 Circular Permutation of n ObjectsWhen lsquonrsquo distinct objects (A1 A2 A3 An) are to be arranged around a circle then each circular arrangement generates lsquonrsquo number of distinct linear arrangements by rotating the objects around the

circle by 0360

n

at a time (keeping their relative position fixed)

rArr Each circular array generates lsquonrsquo linear permutation Let the total number of circular array be x

rArr Number of linear arrays = nx rArr nx = n rArr nx = n 1n

= minus

Remark bull As in circular permutation (unlike linear permutations) there is no initial and terminal position

therefore fixing the position of one object around the circle its position acts as a terminal consequently the remaining (n ndash 1) positions become as distinct as in linear permutations Therefore rest of (n ndash 1) object can be arranged in these position in (n ndash 1) ways

Permutation and Combination 1669

ExplanationIn a circular permutation the relative position among the things is important whereas the place of a thing has no significance Thus in a circular permutation the first thing can be placed anywhere This operation can be done only in one way then relative order begins Thus the ways for performing remaining parts of the operation can be calculated just like the calculation of linear permutation for an example to place 8 different things round a circle first we place any one thing at any place there will be only one numbers of ways = 7 Thus required number of circular permutations if 7

bull Since each circular arrangement has its unique counter-clockwise arrangement therefore the number

of clockwise array = number of counter-clockwise arrays = minus( n 1)2

bull In a garland of flowers or a necklace of beads (since the overturning of permutations is possible) It is difficult to distinguish clockwise and anti-clockwise orders of things so a circular permutation under both these orders (the clockwise and anti-clockwise) is considered to be the same

Therefore the number of ways of arranging n beads along a circular wire is minus( n 1)2

681 Divisor of Composite NumberA natural number x = pa qb rg is called divisor of N = pa qb rc iff N is completely divisible by x For Example when all the prime factors of x are present in N which is possible only if 0 le a le a 0 le b le b and 0 le g le c where a b g isin ℕ cup 0

682 Sum of Divisor

Since each individual divisor is given as terms of the expansion (p0 + p1 + p2 + + pa) (1+ q + q2 + + qb) (1+ r + r2 + + rc) therefore the sum of all divisors is = 1 + p + q + r + p2 + q2 + r2 + pq + pr ++ pa qb rc

Explanation Out of p alike things we may select none or one or two or three or all p Hence they may be disposed off in (p + 1) ways Similarly q alike things may be disposed of in (q + 1) ways similarly for r And s different things may be disposed of in 2s ways (This includes the case in which all of them are rejected)

Explanation It can be obtained by assuming the selection of k distinct object and rest r ndash k objects identical and taking the values of variable k from 0 to r (or p) whichever is less

For an instance when no object is selected from identical objects (k = 0) then the number of selection = nndashpCr

And when one object is selected from identical objects (k = 2) then the number of selection = nndashpCrndash1Similarly for k = 3 the number of selection = nndashpCrndash2 and so on

6101 Distribution Among Unequal Groups

To find the number of ways in which m + n things can be divide into two groups containing m and n things respectively This is clearly equivalent to finding the number of combinations of m + n things taking m at a time for every time we select a group of m things we leave a group of n things behind

Thus the required number = (m n)mn+

Permutation and Combination 1675

6102 To Find the Number of Ways in Which the m + n + p Things Can be Divided into Three Groups Containing m n p Things Separately

First divide the m + n + p things into two groups containing m and n + p things respectively the number

of ways in which this can be done is m+n+pCm = (m n p)m(n p)+ +

+ And the number of ways in which the group of

n + p things can be divided into two groups containing n and p things respectively is n pn

Chapter 7binomial theorem

71 IntroductIon

We have dealt with expansions of (x + a)2 while dealing with quadratic equations Herein we will study expansions of the form (x + a)n Any power of binomial expression (a + x)2 can be expanded in the form of a series which is obtained the by process of continuous multiplication as shown here (a + x)2 = (a + x) (a + x) = a2 + ax + ax + x2 = a2 + 2ax + x2 which can be explained as the terms of expansion are obtained when any one of two terms a or x are selected from each factor and finally they are multiplied together

72 BInomIal

Any algebraic expression containing two terms is called lsquobinomial expressionrsquo [Bi (two ) + Nomial (terms)] is an expression containing sum of two different terms

73 General term

A general term is known as representative term of binomial and it is (r + 1)th term of the expansion and is given by Tr +1 = nCr a

n - r xr in expansion of (a + x )n

731 rth Term from Beginning

The term nCr xnndashr y r is the ( r + 1)th term from beginning in the expansion of (x + y)n It is usually called

the general term and it is denoted by Tr+1 ie Tr +1 = nCr xnndashr yr

732 kth Term from End

kth term from end in the expansion of (x + y)n = (n - k + 2)th term from beginning

74 mIddle term

The middle term depends upon the value of n

Chapter 9trigonometriC ratios and identities

91 INTRODUCTION

The word lsquotrigonometryrsquo is derived from two Greek words (i) trigon (means a triangle) and (ii) metron (means a measure) Therefore trigonometry means science of measuring the sides of angles and study of the relations between side and angles of triangle

92 ANgle

Angle is defined as the measure of rotation undergone by a given revolving ray OX in a plane about its initial point O The original ray OX is called the initial side and the final position (OP) of the ray after rotation is called the terminal side of the angle angXOP The point of rotation (O) is called the vertex

921 Rules for Signs of Angles

bull If initial ray OA rotates to terminal ray OA then angle = q (rotation anti clockwise)

bull If initial ray OA rotates to terminal ray OB then angle = ndashq (rotation clockwise) where q is the measure of rotation

922 Measurement of AngleThe measurement of angle is done under the following three systems of measurement of angles

9221 Sexagesimal or english system

1 right angle = 900 (degrees) 10 = 60 (minutes)1 = 60 (seconds)

9223 Radian measure or circular measurement

One radian corresponds to the angle subtended by arc of length r (radius) at the centre of the circle with radius r Since the ratio is independent of the size of a circle it follows that a radian is a dimensionless quantity

Length of an arc of a circle θ = =arc lengthlAngle (in radians)

r radiusRelation between radian and degree πc = 180deg

In hand working tips

bull The unit radian is denoted by c (circular measure) and it is customary to omit this symbol c Thus

when an angle is denoted as 2π

it means that the angle is 2π

941 Signs of Trigonometric Ratios

Consider a unit circle with centre at origin of the coordinate axes Let P(a b) be any point on the circle with angle AOP = x radian ie length of arc AP = x as shown in the following figure

We defined cos x = a and sin x = b Since DOMP is a right triangle we have OM2 + MP2 = OP2 or

a2 + b2 = 1Thus for every point on the unit circle we have a2 + b2 = 1 or cos2x + sin2x = 1 Accordingly we can

judge the sign of a trigonometric function by comparing it with the sign of respective coordinates in that particular quadrant

Here we discuss problems related to the solution of two equations satisfied simultaneously We may divide the problems into two categories as shown by the following diagram

When number of equations is more than or equal to number of variables

Trigonometric Equation 10107

∎ Single variable problems with intermediate values

Step 1 Find the values of variable x satisfying both equations

Step 2 Find common period of function used in both the equation say T and obtain x = α isin(0 T] sat-isfying both the equations

Step 3 Generalizing the value of α we get x = nT + α

∎ Single variable problem with extreme values

Step 1 When LHS and RHS of a equation have their ranges say R1 and R2 in common domain and R1 cap R2 = f then the equations have no solution

Step 2 If R1 cap R2 have finitely many elements and the number of elements are few then individual cases can be analyzed and solved

Step 3 Generalizing the value of α we get x = nT + α

1091 More Than One Variable Problems

bull Substitute one variable (say y) in terms of other variable x ie eliminate y and solve as the trigonometric equations in one variables

bull Extract the linearalgebraic simultaneous equations from the given trigonometric equations and solve as simultaneous algebric equations

bull Many times you may need to make appropriate substitutions bull When number of variables is more than number of equations To solve an equation involving more than one variable definite solutions can be obtained if extreme

values (range) of the functions are used

10911 Some important results

1 While solving a trigonometric equation squaring the equations at any step should be avoided as far as possible If squaring is necessary check the solution for extraneous values

2 Never cancel terms containing unknown terms on the two sides which are in product It may cause loss of the genuine solution

3 The answer should not contain any such values of angles which make any of the terms undefined or infinite

4 Domain should not change If it changes necessary corrections must be made 5 Check that denominator is not zero at any stage while solving equations

To solve the equation when the terms on the two side (LHS and RHS) of the equation are of different nature eg trigonometric and algebraic we use inequality method Which is used to verify whether the given equation has any real solution or not In this method we follow the steps given below

10108 Mathematics at a Glance

Step I If given equation is f(x) = g(x) then let y = f(x) and y = g(x) ie break the equation in two parts

Step II Find the extreme values of both sides of equation giving range of values of y for both side If there is any value of y satisfying both the inequalities then there will be a real solution otherwise there will be no real solution

Solutions of equation f(x) ndash g(x) = 0 are abscissa (x-co-ordinate) of the point of intersection of the graph y = f(x) and y = g(x)

Algorithm To solve the equation f(x) ndash g(x) = 0 eg 10sinx ndash x = 0

Step 1 Write the equation f(x) = g(x) ie sinx = x10

Step 2 Draw the graph of y = f(x) and y = g(x) on same x ndash y plane

Let f(x) = sinx and g(x) = x

Step 3 Count the number of the points of intersection If graphs of y = f(x) and y = g(x) cuts at one two three no points then number of solutions are one two three zero respectively

From the given graph we can conclude that f(x) = sinx and g(x) = x

Case 2 When two sides and the included angle of the triangle are given Let b c and A be given then lsquoarsquo can be found from the formula a2 = b2 + c2 ndash 2bc cos A

Now angle B can be found from the formulae 2 2 2c a bcosB

= and C from

C = 180deg ndash A ndash B

Another way to solve such triangle is first to find B C2minus by using the formulae

and therefore by addition and subtraction B and C and the third side lsquoarsquo by

cosine formula a2 = b2 + c2 ndash 2bc cos A or bsin A

asinB

= or a = b cos C + c cos B

Case 3 When two angles and the included side of a triangle are givenLet angle B C and side a be given The angle A can be found fromA = 180deg - B - C and the sides b and c from sine rule

a b csin A sinB sinC

= = ie a sinBbsin A

= and a sinCcsin A

Case 4 Ambiguous CaseWhen two sides (say) a and b and the angle (say) A opposite to one side a are given There are following three possibilities

11112 Mathematics at a Glance

(i) Either there is no such triangle (ii) One triangle (iii) Two triangles which have the same given elements

We have b asinB sin A

= rArr bsin AsinB

a= hellip (1)

Also c2 ndash 2 (b cos A) c + b2 ndash a2 = 0 (2)

gives 2 2 2c bcos A a b sin A= plusmn minus (3)Now the following cases may raise

(a) When a lt b sin A rArr sin B gt 1 form equation (1) or from equation (3) c is imaginary which is impossible Hence no triangle is possible

(b) When b sin A = a rArr from equation (1) sin B = 1 rArr B = 90deg and from equation (3) c = b cos A This value of c is admissible only when b cos A is positive ie when the angle A is acute In such a

case a lt b (b sin A = a) or A lt B Hence only one definite triangle is possible

Note

In this case a = b is not possible since A = B = 90deg which is not possible Since no triangle can have two right angles

(c) When b sin A lt a and sin B lt 1 from (4) In this case there are three possibilities (i) If a = b then A = B and from equation (3) we get c = 2b cos A or 0 Hence in this case we get

only one triangle (since in this case it is must that A and B are acute angles) (ii) If a lt b then A lt B Therefore A must be an acute angle b cos A gt 0 Further a2 lt b2 rArr a2 lt b2 (cos2 A + sin2 A)

rArr 2 2 2a b sin A bcos Aminus lt From equation (3) it is clear that both values of c are positive so we get two triangles such that

and 2 22c bcos A a b sin A= minus minus

It is also clear from equation (1) that there are two values of B which are supplementary

(iii) If a gt b then A gt B also a2 - b2 sin2 A gt b2 cos2 A or 2 2 2a b sin A bcos Aminus gt

Hence one value of c is positive and other is negative for any value of angle A Therefore we get only one solution Since for given values of a b and A there is a doubt or ambiguity in the determination of the triangle Hence this case is called ambiguous case of the solution of triangles

Properties of Triangles 11113

(a) If a lt b sin A ie a lt CD then the circle will not meet AX and hence there is no triangle satisfying the given condition

(b) If a = b sin A the circle will touch AX at D (or B) and only one right angled triangle is possible In this case B = 90deg and A lt 90deg

(c) If a = b (angA ne 90deg) then the circle will cut AX at B and passes through A Hence here we get only one solution of given data (as shown in the figure)

(d) If a gt b sin A then the circle will cut AX at two distinct points (other than A) Let the point be B1 and B2Sub-case 1 If b sin A lt a lt b then both B1 and B2 are on the same side of A as shown in the figure and we get two distinct triangles ACB1 and ACB2

Let ABC be a triangle and I be the centre of incircle Let IA IB IC be the centres of the escribed circles which are opposite to A B and C respectively then IA IB IC is called the ex-central triangle of D ABC By geometry IC bisects the angle ACB and IBC bisects the angle ACM

ang ICIB = angACI + angACIB = 12

ang ACB + 12

ang ACM = 12

ang (180deg) = 90deg

Similarly ang ICIA = 90deg

11118 Mathematics at a Glance

Hence IA IB is a straight line perpendicular to IC Similarly AI is perpendicular to the straight line IBIC and BI is perpendicular to the straight line IA IC

Also since IA and IAA both bisect the angle BAC hence A I and IA are collinear Similarly BIIB and CIIC are straight lines

Hence IA IB IC is a triangle thus the triangle ABC is the pedal triangle of its ex-central triangle IA IB IC The angles IBIA and ICIA are right angles hence the points B I C IA are concyclic Similarly C I A IB and the points A I B IC are concyclic

The lines AIA BIB CIC meet at the incentre I which is therefore the orthocentre of the ex-central triangle IA IB IC

If a function is one-to-one and onto from A to B then function g which associates each element y isin B to one and only one element x isin A such that y = f(x) hArr x = g(y) then g is called the inverse function of f denoted by g = fndash1 [Read as f inverse] Thus if f A rarr B then g B rarr A

1211 Inverse Trigonometric Functions

The equation sin x = y and x = sinndash1 y are not identical because the former associates many values of x of a single value of y while the latter associates a single x to a particular value of y To assign a unique angle to a particular value of trigonometric ratio we introduce a term called principle range

We list below the domain (values of x) and principle ranges (values of y) of all the inverse trigonometric functions and their graph

Remarks

1 sin 5π6 = 12 But 5π6 ne sinminus1(12) there4 sinndash1x cosndash1x tanndash1x denotes angles or real number lsquowhose sine is xrsquo lsquowhose cosine is xrsquo and lsquowhose tangent is xrsquo provided that the answers given are numerically smallest available

2 If there are two angles one positive and the other negative having same numerical value Then

we shall take the positive value For example cos 1

A straight line is a curve such that every point on the line segment joining any two points lie on it or in other words straight line is the locus of a point which moves such that the slope of line segment joining any two of its position remains constant

1411 Equation of Straight Line

A relation between x and y which is satisfied by coordinates of every point lying on a line is called the equation of straight line Every first degree equation in x y ie ax + by + c = 0 represents a line Thus a line which is also defined as the locus of a point satisfying the condition ax + by + c = 0 where a b c are constant

∎ Equation of straight line parallel to axes (i) Equation of a straight line which is parallel to x-axis and at a distance b units from it is given by

y = b b gt or lt 0 according as it is in positive or negative side

equation of x-axis is y = 0 (ii) Similarly for any line parallel to the y axis and at a distance a unit from it is given by x = a

a gt or a lt 0 according as the line lies on positive or negative sides of the x-axis ∎ The combined equation of the coordinate axis is xy = 0

156 family of circles

General Equation of Circle x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 contains three unknown parameters (effective) Therefore three conditions are necessary in order to determine a circle uniquely and if only two conditions are given then the obtained equation contains a parameter and it is described as family of circle

Following are the ways of expressing some known family of circles

1 Equation of circle through intersection of a circle S = 0 and a line L = 0 S + lL = 0

157 radical axes and radical centre

Radical axis of S = 0 and Sprime = 0 is the locus of the point from which the tangents drawn to the two circles are of equal lengths Its equation is given by S ndash Sprime = 0 ( only if coefficients of x2 y2 in both circles are same)

Remarks

(i) If the circles S = 0 and Sprime= 0 intersect each other then their common chord and their radical axis coincide Thus they have the same eqn S ndash Sprime = 0

(ii) If two circles touch each other then their radical axis coincides with their common tangent at their point of contact The equation is again S ndashSprime= 0

bullRadical Centre The common point of intersection of the radical axes of three circles taken two at a time is called the radical centre of the three circles

Tips and Tricks

1 If two circles do not intersect (c1c2 gt r1 + r2) then they have two transverse and two direct common tangents

2 If two circles intersect (c1c2 lt r1 + r2) then they have two direct tangents only

3 If two circles touch externally (c1c2 = r1 + r2) then they have one transverse and two direct common tangents

4 If two circles touch internally (c1c2 = r1 ndash r2) then they have only one common tangent

5 If the point P lies outside the circle then the polar and the chord of contact of this point P are same straight line

6 If the point P lies on the circle then the polar and the tangent to the circle at P are same straight line

7 The coordinates of the pole of the line lx + my + n = 0 with respect to the circel x2 + y2 = a2 are

8 If (x1 y1) is the pole of the line lx + my + n = 0 wrt the circle x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy +c = then where r is the radius of the circle

161 IntroductIon to conIc SectIonS

A conic section or conic is the locus of a point which moves in a plane so that its distance from a fixed point is in a constant ratio to its perpendicular distance from a fixed straight line Conic sections are section obtained when a pair of two vertical cones with same vertex are intersected by a plane in various orientation The point V is called vertex and the line L1 is Axis

The rotating line L2 is called as generator of the cone the vertex separates the cone into two parts known as nappes

Nature of conic sections depends on the position of the intersecting plane with respect to the cone and the angle f made by it with the vertical axis of the cone

Circle When f = 90deg the section is a circle

Ellipse When q ltflt 90deg the section is an ellipse

Parabola If plane is parallel to a generator of the cone (ie when f = q) then section is a parabola

Parabola 16163

Hyperbola When 0 le f lt q the plane cuts through both the nappes and the curves of intersection is hyperbola

Degenerated Conics

When the plane cuts at the vertex of the cone we have the different cases

When q lt f le 90deg then the section is a point

When 0 le f lt q then the section is a pair of intersecting straight lines It is the degenerated case of a hyperbola

Whenf= q then the plane contains a generator of the cone and the section is a coincident straight line

1611 Definition of Various Terms Related to Conics

Focus The fixed point is called the focus of the conic section

Eccentricity The constant ratio (e) is called the eccentricity of the conic section

Directrix The fixed straight line is called the directrix

Axis The straight line passing through the focus and perpendicular to the directrix is called the axis of the conic section

Vertex The point of intersection of conic and the axis are called vertices of conic section

Centre The point which bisects every chord of the conic passing through it is called centre of the conic

Double Ordinate A chord perpendicular to the axis is called double ordinate (normal chord) of the conic section The double ordinate passing through the focus is called the latus rectum

Tangent at any point (P) bisects the external angle and nor-mal at same point bisects the internal angle between fo-cal distances of P This refers to the well-known reflection property of the ellipse which states that rays from one are reflected through other focus and vice-versa

Ellipse 17179

In general four normals can be drawn to an ellipse from any point and if a b d g are the eccentric angles of these four co-normal points then a + b + d + g is an odd multiple of p

In general there are four concyclic points on an ellipse and if a b d g are the eccentric angles of these four points then a + b + d + g is an even multiple of p

The circle on any focal distance as diameter touches the auxiliary circle The straight lines joining each focus to the foot of the perpendicular from the other focus upon the

Conjugate diameter Two diameters are said to be conjugate if each bisects all chords parallel to the other

If conjugate diameters are perpendicular to each other then ellipse becomes a circle The eccentric angles of the ends of a pair of conjugate diameters of an ellipse differ by a right angle The sum of squares of any two conjugate semi-diameters of an ellipse is constant and is equal to sum

of the squares of the semi-axes of the ellipse The product of the focal distances of a point on an ellipse is equal to the square of the semi-diameter

which is conjugate to the diameter through the point The tangents at the extremities of a pair of conjugate diameters form a parallelogram whose area is

constant and is equal to the area of rectangle formed by major and minor axis lengths

In general four normals can be drawn on a hyperbola each passing through a common point The feets of perpendicular of these four normals lying on the hyperbola are called co-normal points

Chapter 19Complex Number

191 IntroductIon

While working with real numbers (ℝ) we would not find relations to equations such as x2 + 9 = 0 () So to look forward we have to difine another set of number systems

1911 Imaginary Numbers (Non-real Numbers)

A number whose square is non-positive is termed as an imaginary number eg 2 or (1 2)minus + minus

Iota Euler introduced the symbol i for the number 1minus It is known as iota (a Greek word for

lsquoimaginaryrsquo) Thus 2 2iminus = and + minus = +1 2 1 2i are imaginary numbers

Remark (i) Imaginary numbers do not follow the property of order ie for z1 and z2 imaginary numbers we

cannot say which one is greater Since i is neither positive nor negative nor zero

(ii) Here non-possible does not imply negative eg 1 2+ minus is also non-positive

1912 Purely Imaginary Numbers (I)

The number z whose square is non positive real number (negative or zero) is termed as purely imaginary

number For example 5minus ie I = z z = ai where a isin ℝ and i =

19121 Geometrical representation of purely imaginary numbers

Single multiplication by i is equivalent to geometrical rotation of number by p2 radians anti-clockwise

Therefore purely imaginary numbers are represented as points lying on y axis of argand plane For example z = ai is represented by point (0 a) on y axis as shown here

19190 Mathematics at a Glance

Remarks 1 The plane formed by real and imaginary axes is called ArgandGaussianComplex Plane

2 It should be kept in mind that any equation not having real roots does not necessarily posses imaginary roots For example the equation x + 5 = x + 7 is neither satisfied by real numbers nor is satisfied by imaginary numbers

non-negative real number ie both a and b are non-negative

192 complex number

A number z resulting as a sum of a purely real number x and a purely imaginary number iy is called a

complex number ie a number of the form z = x + iy where x y isin ℝ and = minusi 1 is called a complex number Here x is called real part and y is called imaginary part of the complex number and they are expressed as Re(z) = x Im (z) = y A complex z = x + iy number may also be defined as an ordered pair of real numbers and may be denoted by the symbol (x y)

The set of complex numbers is denoted by ℂ and is given by = z z = x + iy where x y isin ℝ and = minusi 1

193 ArgAnd plAne

Any complex number z = a + ib can be written as an ordered pair (a b) which can be represented on a plane by the point P(a b) (known as affix of point P) as shown in the figure This plane is called Argand plane complex plane or the Gaussian plane

1931 Representation of Complex Numbers

Complex numbers can be represented by following forms 1 Cartesian form (rectangular form) A complex number z = x + iy can be represented by the

point P having coordinate (x y) 2 Vector form (Algebraic form) Every complex number z is regarded as a position vec-

tor

(OP) which is sum of two position vectors Purely real vector x

(OA) and purely imaginary

vector iy

(OB)

= + = +

OP OA AP OA OB rArr z = x + iy

Modulus of z Distance of point P from the origin is called modulus of complex number z and is denoted by |z| It is length of vector

(OP) It is distance of P(z) from origin

Argument of z Argument of z is the angle made by

OP with the positive direction of real axis Also known as amplitude z and is denoted by amp (z)

Arg(z) = q where θ =ytanx

q lies in the quadrant in

which complex number z lies

NoteThe principal arguments q isin (ndashp p]

3 Polar form (amplitude modulus form) In DOAP OP = |z| = r rArr OA = x = r cosq and AP = y = r sinq rArr z = x + iy = r (cosq + i sinq) = r cisq

Remarkcis q is unimodular complex number and acts as unit vector in the direction of q where q is arg z

4 Euler form (Exponential form) Euler represented complex number z as an exponential function of its argument q (radians) and described here As we know that using Taylorrsquos series expansion cos q and sinq can be expanded in terms of polynomial in q as given below

Advantages of using Euler form Convenient for division and multiplication of complex numbers Suitable for exponential logarithmic and irrational functions involving complex numbers

19311 Inter-conversion from polartrigonometric to algebraic form

(i) Algebraic form to polar form Given z = x + iy then

= +2 2r x y θ = θ =x ycos sinr r

gives q = f (say)

In polar form = + φ+ φ2 2z x y (cos isin )

(ii) Polar form to algebraic form Given z = r(cosq + isinq) = rcosq + i(rsinq)

rArr z = x + iy where x = rcosq and y = rsinq

1932 Properties of Complex Numbers

(i) Equality Two complex numbers z1 and z2 are equal only when their real and imaginary parts are respectively equal ie Re(z1) = Re(z2) and I(z1) = I(z2) or |z1| = |z2| and arg (z1) = arg (z2)

19192 Mathematics at a Glance

RemarksStudents must note that x y isin ℝ and x y ne 0 If x + y = 0 rArr x = ndash y is correct but x + iy = 0 rArr x = ndash iy is incorrect (unless both x and y are zero)

Hence a real number cannot be equal to the imaginary number unless both are zero

(ii) Inequality Inequality in complex number is not defined because lsquoirsquo is neither positive zero nor negative So 4 + 3i gt 1 + 2i or i lt 0 or i gt 0 is meaningless

(iii) If Re(z) = 0 then z is purely imaginary and if Im (z) = 0 then z is purely real (iv) z = 0 rArr Re(z) = Im (z) = 0 therefore the complex number 0 is purely real and purely imaginary or both (v) If z = x + iy then iz = ndashy + ix rArr Re(iz) = ndash Im(z) and Im(iz) = Re(z) (vi) Conjugate of complex number z = x + i y is denoted

as z = (x ndash iy) ie a complex number with same real part as of z and negative imaginary part as that of z

(vii) If z is purely real positive rArr Arg(z) = 0 (viii) If z is purely real negative rArr Arg(z) = p (ix) If z is purely imaginary with positive imaginary part

rArr Arg(z) = p2 (x) If z is purely imaginary with negative imaginary part

19321 Binary operations defined on set of complex numbers

Binary operation on set of complex number is a function from set of complex numbers to itself That is if z1 z2 isin C and is a binary operation on the set of complex numbers then z1 z2 isin C Following binary operations are defined on set of complex numbers

Addition of two complex numbers Let z1 = x1 + iy1 and z2 = x2 + iy2 rArr z1 + z2 = (x1 + iy1) + (x2 + iy2)= (x1 + x2) + i (y1 + y2) ie z1 + z2 = [R(z1) + R(z2)] + i[I(z1) + I(z2)] isin C

19322 Geometric representation

Consider two complex numbers z1 = (x1 + iy1) and z2 = (x2 + iy2) represented by

Then by parallelogram law of vector addition + = + =

Geometric representation Let A and B are two points in the complex plane respectively affixes of z1 and z2 where z1 = r1(cos q1 + i sinq1) and z2 = r2(cos q2 + i sinq2) z1z2 = r1r2(cosq1 + isin q1) (cosq2 + i sinq2)

1933 ResultThe product rule can be generalized to n complex numbers Let zn = rn(cosqn + i sinqn) where n = 1 2

Now |z1 z2zn| = r1r2rn = |z1| | z2 ||zn| and arg (z1 z2zn) = q1 + q2 + + qn = arg z1 + arg z2 + + arg zn

Method of Solving Complecs EquationsLet the given equation be f(z) = g(z) To solve this equation we have the following four methods

Method 1 Put z = x + iy in the given equation and equate the real and imaginary parts of both sides and solve to find x and y hence z = x + iy

Method 2 Put z = r(cosq + isinq) and equate the real and imaginary parts of both sides solve to get r and q hence z

Method 3 Take conjugate of both sides of given equations Thus we get two equations f(z) = g(z) (1) and =f(z) g(z) (2)

Adding and Subtracting the above two equations we get two new equations solving then we get z

1961 Line Segment in Argandrsquos Plane

Any line segment joining the complex numbers z1 and z2 (directed towards z2) represents a complex number given by z2 ndash z1 Since every complex number has magnitude and direction therefore z2 ndash z1 also

|z2 ndash z1| represents the length of line segment BA ie the distance between z1 and z2 and arg(z2 ndash z1) represents the angle which line segment AB (on producing) makes with positive direction of real axis

lsquolsquoA set is any collection of distinct and distinguishable objects of our intuition or thoughtrsquorsquo By the term lsquodistinctrsquo we mean that no object is repeated By the term lsquodistinguishablersquo we mean that given an object we can decide whether that object is in our collection or not

202 RePReSeNtAtION OF SetS

A set is represented by listing all its elements between braces and by separating them from each other by commas (if there are more than one element)

203 NOtAtION OF SetS

Sets are usually denoted by capital letters of the English alphabet while the elements are denoted in gen-eral by small letters eg set of vowels = A = a e i o u

(ii) Set Builder Method Under this method set may be represented with the help of certain property or properties possessed by all the elements of that set

A = x | P(x) or A = x P(x) This signifies A is the set of element x such that x has the property P For example the set

A = 1 2 3 4 5 can be written as A = x | x isin N and x le 5

207 CARDINAL NuMbeR OF A SetS

Cardinal number of a set X is the number of distinct elements in a set and it is denoted by n(X) For example for X = x1 x2 x3 n (X) = 3

Some Important Remarks

Equivalent Sets Two finite sets A and B are equivalent if their cardinal numbers are same That is n (A) = n (B)

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 That is A = B if A and B are equal and A ne B if they are not equal

Every finite set is countable but every countable set is not necessarily finite

Infinite sets may or may not be countable

Uncountable sets are always infinite

Every subset of a countable set is countable

Every superset of an uncountable set is also uncountable

Intersection of countable sets is always countable

Countable union of countable sets is always countable

A set A is said to be a subset of B if all the elements of A are present in B and is denoted by A sube B (read as A is subset of B) and symbolically written as x isin A rArr x isin B hArr A sube B

2010 NuMbeR OF SubSetS

Consider a set X containing n elements as x1 x2 xn then the total number of subsets of X = 2n

Proof Number of subsets of the above set is equal to the number of selections of elements taking any number of them at a time out of the total n elements and it is equal to 2n Q

nC0 + nC1 + nC2++ nCn = 2n

2011 tyPeS OF SubSetS

(i) Proper Subset A non-empty set A is said to be a proper subset of a set B if every element of A is an element

of B and B has at least one element which is not an element of A and is denoted by A sub B (ii) Improper Subset The set A itself and the empty set is known as improper subset For example if X = x1 x2 xn

then total number of proper sub-sets = 2n - 2 (excluding itself and the null set) The statement A sube B can be written as B supe A then B is called the super set of A

2012 POweR SetS

The collection of all subsets of set A is called the power set of A and is denoted by P(A) ie P(A) =

X X is a subset of A If A = x1 x2 x3 xn then n(P(A)) = 2n n(P(P(A)) = 22n

Thus X isin P(A) hArr X sube A ie the elements of P(A) are the subset of A

2013 DISjOINt SetS

Sets A and B are said to be disjoint iff A and B have no common element or A cap B = f If A cap B ne f then A and B are said to be intersecting or overlapping sets Eg

Remarks (i) Two disjoint sets need not be complementry eg if U = 1 2 3 4 5 A = 1 3 B = 2 4 then A

20231 Cartesian Product of Two SetsCartesian product of two sets A and B is a set containing the ordered pairs (a b) such that a isin A and b isin B It is denoted by

A times B ie A times B = (a b) a isin A and b isin B If set A = a1 a2 a3 and B = b1 b2 thenA times B = (a1 b1) (a1 b2) (a2 b1) (a2 b2) (a3 b1) (a3 b2) andB times A = (b1 a1) (b1 a2) (b1 a3) (b2 a1) (b2 a2) (b2 a3)Clearly A times B ne B times A until A and B are equal

Remarks

1 Since A times B has elements as ordered pairs therefore it can be geometrically located on X ndash Y plane by considering set A on X-axis and set B on Y-axis

2 Cartesian product of n sets A1 A2 A3An is denoted by A1 x A2 x A3 x x An and is the set of n ordered tuples ie A1 x A2 x A3 x x An = (a1 a2 a3 an) ai isin Ai i = 1 2 3 n Cartesian product of n sets represents n-dimensional space

3 A times B times C and (A times B) times C are not same

A times B times C = (a b c) a isin A b isin B c isin C whereas

(A times B) times C = (a b c) a isin A b isin B c isin C

20232 Number of Elements in Cartesian Product A times B

If number of elements in A denoted by n(A) = m and number of elements in B denoted by n(B) = n then number of elements in (A times B) = m times n ie n(A times B) = n(A) times n(B)

Since A times B contains all such ordered pairs of the type (a b) such that a isin A and b isin B that means it includes all possibilities in which the elements of set A can be related with the elements of set B Therefore A times B contains n(A) times n(B) number of elements

20233 Properties and Laws of Cartesian Product

1 (a) Cartesian product distributes over union and intersection of sets That is A times (B cup C) = (A times B) cup (A times C) and A times (B cap C) = (A times B) cap (A times C) for every group

of sets A B and C

Sets and Relation 20219

(b) Cartesian product distributes over subtraction of sets That is A times (B ndash C) = (A times B) ndash (A times C) 2 Cartesian Product is not Associative Cartesian product of sets is not associative in nature

That is A times (B x C) ne (A times B) times C As the elements of A times (B times C) are of the type (a (b c)) whereas the elements of (A times B) times C are of

the type ((a b) c) a isin A b isin B c isin C 3 Cartesian Product is not Commutative Cartesian product of sets is not commutative in nature That is A times B ne B times A until A = B 4 Cardinality of Cartesian Product (a) If A and B are two sets then n(A times B) = n(A) times n(B) (b) If A and B are sets having k number of common elements ie n(A cap B) = k then the number

of elements common to A times B and B times A = k2 5 Intersection of cross product is equal to cross product of intersection That is for sets A B S and T (A times B) cap (S times T) = (A cap S) times (B cap T) 6 For subset A of B and C of D We have (a) (A times C) sube (B cap C) for every set C (b) (A times C) sube (B cap D) (c) (A times A) sube (A times B) cap (B times A) 7 For complementary sets B and C of sets B and C (a) A times (B cup C) = (A times B) cap (A times C) (b) A times (B cap C) = (A times B) cup (A times C) 8 A times (B D C) = (A times B) D (A times C)

A relation R from set X to Y (R X rarr Y) is a correspondence between set X to set Y by which none one or more elements of X are associated with none one or more elements of Y Therefore a relation (or binary relation) R from a non-empty set X to another non-empty set Y is a subset of X times Y That is R X rarr Y is nothing but subset of A times B For example consider set X and Y as set of all males and females members of a royal family of the Ayodhya kingdom

2025 DOMAIN CO-DOMAIN AND RANge OF ReLAtION

Domain Domain of a relation R from set A to set B is the collection of elements of set A which are participating in the correspondence ie it is set of all pre-images under the relation R For example domain of R = (1 5) (2 10) (3 6) is

DR = 1 2 3 where R is a relation from set A = 1 2 3 4 to set B = 5 6 7 8 9 10

Co-domain Co-domain of a relation R from set A to set B is set B itself irrespective of the fact whether an element of set B is related with any element of A or not For example B =5 6 7 8 9 10 is co-domain of above relation R

Range Range of a relation R from set A to set B is the set of those elements of set B which are participating in the correspondence ie set of all images under the relation R For the above relation range is given by the set RR = 5610

2026 uNIVeRSAL ReLAtION FROM Set A tO Set b

Since A times B contains all possible ordered pairs which relate each element of A to every element of B therefore (A times B) is largest possible relation defined from set A to set B and hence also known as Universal relation from A to B

2027 NuMbeR OF ReLAtIONS FROM Set A tO Set b

Since each relation from A to B is a subset of Cartesian product A times B therefore number of relations that can be defined from set A to set B is equal to the number of subsets of A times B Thus the number of relations from A to B = 2n(A times B) = 2n(A) x n(B)

Many-one Relation

When there exists at least one group having more than one element of set X which are related with same element of set Y then R is said to be many one relation from set X to set Y

One-many Relation

Relation R from set X to set Y is said to be one-many if there exists an element in set X which is related with more than one element of set Y

Many-many Relation

Relation R from set X to set Y is said to be many-many if it is many-one as well as one-many

20321 Reflexive Relation

R X rarr Y is said to be reflexive iff x R x x isin X That is every element of X must be related to itselfTherefore if for each x isin X (x x) isin R then relation R is called reflexive relation

RemarkIf R X rarr Y is a reflexive relation then its domain is X For example if R is a relation on set of integers (ℤ) defined by ldquoxRy iff x divides yrdquo then it is reflexive and hence its domain set is ℤ

20322 Identity RelationA relation R X rarr Y is said to be an identity relation if each element of X is related to itself only For example if X = x1 x2 x3 and Y = x1 x2 x3 x4 then the relation R = (x1 x1) (x2 x2) (x3 x3) is an identity relation from set X to set Y

Remarks 1 Every identity relation from set X to set Y is reflexive relation from set X to set Y but converse is

not true That is every reflexive relation need not be identity For example R X rarr Y where X = x1 x2 x3 and Y = x1 x2 x3 x4 then the relation R = (x1 x1) (x2 x2) (x3 x3) (x1 x2) is reflexive but not identity relation from set X to set Y because x1 R x1 as well as x1Rx2

2 If R is a relation from set X to itself then the relation is called relation on set X

(a) R is said to be reflexive on set X if xRx x isin X

(b) R is said to be identity relation on set X if x R x x isin X and x is not related to any other element and it is denoted by Ix

3 Symmetric Relation R X rarr Y is said to be symmetric iff (x y) isin R rArr (y x) isin R

That is x R y rArr y R x For example perpendicularity of lines in a plane is symmetric relation

20323 Transitive Relation

R X rarr Y is said to be transitive iff (x y) isin R and (y z) isin R rArr (x z) isin RThat is x R y and yR zrArr x R z For example the relation ldquobeing sister ofrdquo among the members of a family is always transitive

20224 Mathematics at a Glance

Notes (i) Every null relation is a transitive relation

(ii) Every singleton relation is a transitive relation

(iii) Universal and identity relations are reflexive as well as transitive

20324 Anti-symmetric RelationA relation R from set X to set Y is said to be an anti-symmetric relation iff (a b) isin R and (b a) isin R rArr a = b

That is for two different elements x isin X and y isin Y the relation R does not contain the ordered pairs (x y) and (y x) simultaneously

For example relations ldquobeing subset of rdquo ldquois greater than or equal tordquo and ldquoidentity relationrdquo are anti-symmetric relations

1 R1 is symmetric as whenever ordered pair (x y) isin R1 rArr (y x) isin R1Also R1 is anti-symmetric as for no two different elements x y the ordered pairs (x y) and (y x) occur in R1

2 R2 is symmetric but not anti-symmetric as (1 2) (2 3) isin R2 rArr (2 1) (3 2) isin R2 but 1 ne 2 and 2 ne 3 3 R3 is anti-symmetric but not symmetric as (3 4) isin R3 but (4 3) notin R3 4 R4 is neither symmetric nor anti-symmetric as (3 4) isin R3 but (4 3) notin R3 and (1 2) (2 1) both are

in R3 but 1 ne 2

20325 Equivalence RelationA relation R from a set X to set Y (R X rarr Y) is said to be an equivalence relation iff it is reflexive symmetric as well as transitive The equivalence relation is denoted by ~ For example relation ldquois equal tordquo Equality Similarity and congruency of triangles parallelism of lines are equivalence relations

2033 COMPOSItION OF ReLAtIONS

Let R and S be two relations from set A to B and B to C respectively Then we can define a relation SoR from A to C such that (a c) isin SoR hArr exist b isin B such that (a b) isin R and (b c) isin S

This relation is called the composition of R and S Diagrammatically it is shown in the following figure

Sets and Relation 20225

2034 INVeRSe OF A ReLAtION

Let A B be two sets and let R be a relation from a set A to B Then the inverse of R denoted by R-1 is a relation from B to A and is defined by R-1 = (b a) (a b)isinR Clearly (a b) isin R hArr (b a) isin R-1

Also Dom (R) = Range (R-1) and range (R) = Dom (R-1)For example let A = 1 2 3 4 and B = 2 3 4 5Define a relation R from A to B as xRy iff y = x + 1 then R = (1 2)

(2 3) (3 4) (4 5)rArr Rndash1 = (2 1) (3 2) (4 3) (5 4)Thus we can define Rndash1 a relation from B to A as xRy iff y = x ndash 1

The arrow diagram represents the relations R and Rndash1

Remark(SoR)ndash1 = Rndash1oSndash1 where R is a relation from A to B and S is a relation from B to C

Tips and Tricks

If number of elements in A n(A) = m and n(B) = n then number of elements in (A times B) = m times n A times B is termed as the largest possible relation defined from set A to set B it is also known as the

universal relation from A to B If A sube B then (A times B) cap (B times A) = A2 = A times A If A has m elements and B has n elements then number of relations that can be defined

from A to B = 2m times n If A is a set containing n elements then the number of relations that can be defined

on set ( )2nA 2=

If A and B are two non-empty sets having n elements in common then A times B and B times A have n2 elements in common

If A is related to B then symbolically it is written as (aRb) where a is pre-image and b is image If A is not related to B then symbolically it is written as a R b All identity relations are reflexive but all reflexive relations are not identity Every null relation is a transitive relation Every singleton relation is a transitive relation Universal and identity relations are reflexive as well as transitive Identity relation is symmetric as well as anti-symmetric or both Union of two reflexive (or symmetric) relations on a set A also reflexive (or symmetric) on set A Union of two transitive relations need not be transitive on set A Union of two equivalence relations need not be equivalence 1 If R and S are two equivalence relations on a set A then R cap S is also an equivalence

relation on A 2 The inverse of an equivalence relation is an equivalence relation 3 The set (a a)a isin A = D is called the diagonal line of A times A Then lsquothe relation R in a is

antisymmetric iff R cap Rndash1 sube D

Chapter 21FunCtions

211 Definition of function

Let X and Y be two non-empty sets Then a function lsquof rsquo from set X to set Y is denoted as f X rarr Y or y = f(x) x isin X and y isin Y A function f(x) from X (domain) to Y (co-domain) is defined as a relation f from set X to set Y such that each and every element of X is related with exactly one element of set Y

Image and Pre-image Let f be a function from set X to set Y ie f X rarr Y and let an element x of set X be associated to the element y of set Y through the rule lsquof rsquo then (x y) isin f ie f(x) = y then y is called lsquoimage of x under f rsquo and x is called lsquopre-image of y under f rsquo

Natural Domain The natural domain of a function is the largest set of real number inputs that give real number outputs of the function

Co-domain Set Y is called co-domain of function f

Range of Function If f Df (sube X) rarr Y is a function with domain Df then the set of images y (output isinY) generated corresponding to input x isin Df is called range of function and it is denoted by Rf

ie Rf = f(x) xisinDf sube Y

Remarks

(i) Every function is a relation but every relation read not be a function

(ii) A relation R A rarr B is a function if its domain = A and it is not one-many ie either one-one or many-many

Functions 21227

(iii) To find domain of function we need to know when does a function become undefined and when it is defined

ie we need to find those values of x where f(x) is finite and real and those values of x where f(x) is either infinite or imaginary

(iv) When its value tends to infinity (infin)

eg =minus2

1y

x 1 at x = plusmn1 f(x) is not defined at x = plusmn1 and defined forall x isin ℝ except for plusmn1 therefore

domain of f(x) = ℝ ~ 1 ndash1

(v) When it takes imaginary value eg = minusy x 1 at x isin (ndashinfin 1) f(x) is not defined on (ndashinfin 1) and

defined on [1 infin) therefore domain of f(x) = [1 infin)

(vi) When it takes indeterminate form ie becomes of the form infininfininfin infin minus infin

infin0 00

1 0 etc0

212 RepResentation of a function

A fanction can be represented analytcally as orduced pass parametrically wita arrow diagram praphibly

Remarks All function cannot be represented by all the above methods

(i) The Drichlet-Function which is defined as f(x) =

0 when x is rational

1 when x is irrational cannot be graphed since there exist

infinite number of rationals as well as irrationals between any two real numbers

(ii) Consider the Eulerrsquos totient or Eulerrsquos phi function f(n) = Number of positive integers less than or equal to n and co-prime to n where n is a natural number

The domain of f is the set of positive integers Its range is the set of positive integers 1 2 3 hellip

We cannot represent this function analytically A portion of the graph of f(n) as shown here for understanding of the function

(iii) Consider another function called prime number function defined by f(x) = number of prime numbers less than or equals to x where x is non-negative real number

Then domain of f(x) is (0 infin) and range is the set of non-negative integers ie 0 1 2 3 hellip

The graph of function is shown here

As x increases the function f(x) remains constant until x reaches a prime at which the graph of function jumps by 1Therefore the graph of f consists of horizontal line segments This is an example of a class of function called step functions

(iv) Another function which is so complicated that it is impossible to draw its graph

h(x) = minus

x if x is rational

x is irrationalif x2

As we know that between any two real numbers there lie infinitely many relations and irrational number so it is impossible to draw its graph

21531 Methods of testing a relation to be a function

Method 1 When the relation to be tested is represented analytically A relation f X rarr Y defined as y = f(x) will be function iff x1 = x2 rArr f(x1) = f(x2) since otherwise an element of X would have two different image

Method 2 When the relation to be tested is represented as a set of ordered pairs

A relation f X rarr Y represented as a set of ordered pairs will be function from X to Y iffSet of abscissa of all ordered pairs is equal to XNo two ordered pairs should have same abscissa

RemarkBecause f is a relation from X rarr Y therefore abscissa of ordered pairs must belong to X where as ordinates of ordered pairs must belong to Y

Method 3 When the relation to be tested is represented graphically relation f X rarr Y y = f(x) is function iff all the straight line x = a forall a isin X intersect the graph of function exactly once as shown below

A relation f X rarr Y will not be a function in following two conditions 1 If for some a isin X line x = a does not cut the curve y = f(x) eg in the graph of function shown below

the line x = a does not cut the graph of function and a isin X (Df) = [a b] ie no output for input x = a

rArr f(x) is not a function from X to Y 2 If for atleast one a isin X line x = a intersects y = f(x) more than once ie there exists an input having

more than one output say at (a y1) (a y2) and (a y3) rArr For input x = a f(x) has three outputs y1 y2 as well as y3 Hence f(x) is not function

Method 4 When the relation to be tested is represented diagrammatically A relation f X rarr Y is a function if no input has two or more outputs in Y and no x isin X is un-related

216 classification of functions

2161 One-one (Injective) Function

f X rarr Y is called injective when different elements in set X are related with different elements of set Y ie no two elements of domain have same image in co-domain In other words we can also say that no element of co-domain is related with two or more elements of domain

217 Many-one functions

f X rarr Y is many-one when there exist at least two elements in the domain set X which are related with same element of co-domain Y

2171 Onto (Surjective) FunctionA function f X rarr Y is called surjective only when each element in the co-domain is f-image of at least one element in the domain ie f X rarr Y is onto iff y isin Y there exists x isin X such that f(x) = y ie iff Rf = co-domain (Y)

Surjective f X rarr Y reduces the co-domain set to range of function

218 MethoD of testinG foR injectivity

(a) Analytical Method A function f X rarr Y is injective (one-one) iff whenever two images are equal then it means that they are outputs of same pre-image ie f(x1) = f(x2) hArr x1 = x2 forall x1 x2 isin X Or by using contra-positive of the above condition ie x1 ne x2 hArr f(x1) ne f(x2) forall x1 x2 isin X

Notes

1 If f (x) is not one-one then it is many-one function If we go according to definition consider f(x1) = f(x2) rArr x1 is not necessarily equal to x2

ie If two f-images are equal then their pre-images may or may not be equal

2 To test injectivity of f(x) consider f(x1) = f(x2) and solve the equation and get x2 in terms of x1 If x2 = x1 is only solution then function f is injective but if other real solutions also exist then f is many-one function

Functions 21243

(b) Graphical Method For one-one every line parallel to x-axis y = k isin Rf cuts the graph of function exactly once then the function is one-one or injective

For many-one If there exists a line parallel to x-axis which cuts the graph of function at least twice then the function is many one

(c) Method of Monotonicity for one-one If a function f(x) is continuous and monotonic

(f (x) ge 0 f (x) = 0 occures at isolated points) on an interval I then it is always one-one on interval I because any straight line parallel to x-axis y = k isin I intersects the graph of such functions exactly once

For many-one

(i) If a function is continuous and non-monotonic on interval I then it must be many-one on interval I

(ii) If a function is discontinuous and monotonic on interval I then it can be one-one or many-one on I as is clear from the figures given below

(iii) Even functions and periodic functions are always many-one in their natural domains whereas they are one-one in their principal domain They can be made one-one by restricting the domain

eg cosx is many one on ℝ but is one-one on [0 p] or 02π

Similarly fraction part function

x is periodic function with period 1 It is many one on ℝ but one-one on [n n + 1) for each integer n

(iv) If a function is discontinuous and non-monotonic on an interval I then it can be one-one or many one on I It can be understood well by the graph shown as follows

21244 Mathematics at a Glance

(v) All polynomials of even degree defined in ℝ have at least one local maxima or minima and hence

are many-one in the domain ℝ Polynomials of odd degree can be one-one or many-one in ℝ (d) Hit and trial method to test many-one functions It is possible to find an element in the range of function which is f image of two or more than two

elements in the domain of function

219 into (non-suRjective) function

While defining function we have mentioned that there may exist some element in the co-domain which are not related to any element in the co-domain

f X rarr Y is into iff there exists at least one y isin Y which is not related with any x isin X

Thus the range of the into function is proper subset of the co-domain ie range sub co-domain (properly)

2110 one-one onto function (Bijective function)

If a function is both one-one as well as onto then f(x) is set to be bijective function or simply bijection

2111 testinG of a function foR suRjective

Method 1 The equality of range of function to co-domain forms the condition to test surjectivity of function For instance to test surjectivity of f [0 infin) rarr [2 infin) such that f(x) = x2 + 2

Using the analytic formula we obtain the rule of function for argument x in terms of y as shown below

∵ y = x2 + 2 x2 = y ndash 2 ie |x| = y 2minus

rArr x y 2= minus ∵ x ge 0

Functions 21245

Now we check whether the expression of x in forms of y is valid for all elementary co-domain If it is so then f is surjective otherwise it is non-surjective

Thus x to be real and positive RHS ie y 2minus must be real and positive thus y isin [2 infin) Hence the given function f is onto

Method 2 Hit and Trial Method Sometimes we choose an element of co-domain which may not be an image of any element in domain and we test it for same If it comes out to be true then f is into function

RemarkIn order to convert a function from many-one to an injective function its domain must be transformed to principal domain In order to convert a function from into to onto the co-domain of function must be replaced by its range

Remarks 1 If n(X) lt n(Y) then after mapping different elements of X to different elements of Y we are left with

at least one element of Y which is not related with any element of X and hence there will be no onto function from X to Y ie all the functions from X to Y will be into

For a function to be invertible it should be one-one and onto ie bijective function

21151 Method to Find Inverse of a Given FunctionStep 1 Check the injectivity (one-one) Take f(x1) = f(x2) and show that x1 = x2 or show that f is continuous and monotonic on its domain

Step 2 Surjectivity (onto) Find the Range of the function (Rf) and compare it with co-domain

If Rf = Co-domain then f is onto

Step 3 Using equation y = f(x) express x in terms of y hellip (1)

Step 4 Replace x by y and y by x in the obtained relation (1) to get y = fndash1(x)

RemarkSince to each (x y) isin f there exists (y x) isin fndash1 and (y x) and (x y) are mirror images of each other in the line y = x therefore the graph of f-1(x) is obtained by reflecting the graph of f(x) in the line y = x as shown below

1 Composition of a non-monotonic function g(x) over a periodic function f(x) having period T is always a periodic function with period T (But fundamental period may be less than T)

(iii) If f(x) and g(x) are functions of opposite monotonicity in their respective domain then gof is a decreasing function on its domain Further if f(x) and g(x) are continuous functions then gof is continuous and decreasing function If [a b] or (a b) is common domain of gof(x) and decreasing function f(x) (say) then range of f(x) is [f(b) f(a)] or (f(b) f(a)) which in turn in domain of g(x) g(x) being continuous and increasing (say) range of gof(x) will be [g(f(b)) g(f(a))] or (g(f(b)) g(f(a))) Same will be the range of gof(x) if f(x) is increasing and g(x) is decreasing

(iv) If f(x) is an increasing and continuous function in its domain and g(x) is non-monotonic having range [a b] or (a b) then the range of fog(x)) will be [f(a) f(b)] or (f(a) f(b)) Similarly if f(x) is decreasing and continuous function in its domain and g(x) is non-monotonic having range [a b] or (a b) then the range of fog(x) will be [f(b) f(a)] or (f(b) f(a))

(v) If f(x) is non-monotonic function and continuous in its domain and g(x) is any function (monotonic or non-monotonic) for which the composition function fog is defined then range of fog can be obtained by analyzing the behaviour of function f(x) on the range set of function g(x) ie by determining the intervals of monotonicity lub gub of f(x) in range set of g(x)

(vi) If f(x) is monotonic and continuous in its domain and g(x) is non-monotonic for which fog(x) is defined and range of g(x) is [a b] or (a b) then the range of fog(x) will be [f(a) f(b)] or (f(a) f(b)) if f(x) is increasing and it will be [f(b) f(a)] or (f(b) f(a)) if f(x) is decreasing

(vii) If f(x) and g(x) both are non-monotonic and continuous for which fog(x) is defined then the range of f(x) can be obtained by analyzing the behaviour of f(x) on the range set of g(x) ie by determining the intervals of monotonicity lub and glb of f(x) in the range set of g(x)

Limit

221 Limit of a function

Limit at x = a means value of function at x = a if the function is without any break and if it is not defined at x = ay then limit of function means to find the real number to which function tends when x tends to a independent of the way whether x approaches to a by taking smalles values then lsquoarsquo or greater then lsquoarsquo 1 meaning of a x is approaching nearer and nearer to lsquoarsquo (fixed real number) but x ne a 2 meaning of a+ x is approaching to lsquoarsquo by taking values greater than lsquoarsquo 3 meaning of andash x is approaching to lsquoarsquo by taking values less than lsquoarsquo

222 Limit of function f(x) at x = a

Is denoted by x 0lim f(x) l(say)rarr

= means ldquoas x tends to a f(x) tends to lrdquo ie the number lsquolrsquo is said to be limit

of f (x) at x = a if for any arbitrary chosen positive numberisin however small but not zero there exists cor-responding number d greater than zero such that |f (x) ndash l |lt isin for all values of x for which 0 lt |x ndash a| lt d

223 ExistEncE of Limit of a function

Limit of a function f(x) is said to exist at x = a if x a x alim f(x) lim f(x) l(lt )

minus +rarr rarr= = infin

ie LHL (Left Hand Limit) = RHL (Right Hand Limit) = l(lt infin) Symbolically f(andash) + f(a+) = l(ltinfin)

224 non-ExistEncE of Limit of a function

x 0lim f(x)rarr

does not exist due to the following reason(s)

(i) If one of the two sided limits is finite and other is infinite (ii) If both sided limits are finite but unequal (iii) If both limits are infinite but of opposite signs (iv) If at least one of the two limits does not exist uniquely

22256 Mathematics at a Glance

Remarks (i) For the existence of limit function must be defined in at least one of the two deleted

neighbourhood of lsquoarsquo ie (a ndash d a) (left deleted neighbourhood of a) or (a a + d) (right deleted neighbourhood of a) In such cases limit is taken equal to one-sided limit for which x tends to a taking those values of x in deleted neighbourhood of a in which function is defined eg

8 (a) (Chain rule for continuity or continuity of composite functions) If f(x) is continuous at x = a and g(y) is continuous at y = f(a) then the composite function (gof)(x) is continuous at x = a

(b) Let a function f(x) be continuous at all points in the interval [ab] and let its range be the interval [m M] and further the function g(x) be contininuous in the interval [m M] then the composite function (gof) (x) is continuous in the interval [a b]

(c) If the function f is continuous everywhere and the function g is continuous everywhere then the composition gof is continuous everywhere

(d) All polynomials trigonometric functions inverse trigonometric functions exponential and logarithmic functions are continuous at all points in their respective domains

(e) If f(x) is continuous at x = a then |f(x)| is also continuous at x = a

9 Sum of the two discontinuous functions may be continuous Example (i) f(andash) = l1 f(a+) = l2 l1 ne l2 and g(andash) = l2 g(a+) = l1 then (f + g)(andash) = (f + g)(a+) = (f + g)(a) = l1 + l2

(ii) f(x) = [x] + x = x is a continuous function where as [x] and x are discontinuous functions at integer points

10 Summation of a continuous and a discontinuous function is always discontinuous 11 Product of a continuous function with a discontinuous function may be continuous and this is

possible only when the continuous function attains zero at that point 12 Quotient of a continuous and discontinuous function may be continuous may be discontinuous

2218 continuity of a function on a sEt

A function f(x) is said to be continuous on a set A if f(x) is continuous at every point of set A If a function has discontinuity even at single point of set A then f(x) is said to be discontinuous on set A

Domain of continuity of function The set of all those points where the function f(x) is continuous is called Domain of continuity of function f(x) Every function is continuous on its domain of continuity

Continuity of a function on its domain A function f(x) is said to be continuous on its domain if it is continuous at every point of its domain

22182 Continuity in an Open Interval

A function f(x) is said to be continuous in (a b) when f(x) is continuous at each point c isin (a b) ie f(cndash) = f(c+) = f(c) forallc isin (a b)

221821 Method of testing of continuity in open interval

1 First of all make sure that every point of open interval is in the domain of given function ie each constituent function is defined at each point of open interval (a b) eg f(x) = x2 + sinx ndash tanx then x2 sinx tan x each is defined in open interval (0 1) but same function is not defined in open interval

(1 2) as tan x is not defined at π157

2 Thus f(x) cannot be continuous in open interval (1 2) due

to discontinuity at π

=x2

2 Use the knowledge of domain of continuity of standard constituent functions involved and

algebra of continuity eg if lt le

+ lt lt

x sin x 0 x 1f(x)

x 21 x 4

Now x and sin x have their domain of continuity ℝ and the product of two continuous functions at a point is also continuous at that point Thus x sin x is continuous in (0 1)

Also (x2 + 2) being a polynomial function is also continuous at each real number x2 + 2 is also continuous on (1 4)

3 Test the continuity of f(x) at suspicious points (ie points splitting the function into two different definitions) For example in above step (2) x = 1 is the suspesious point

2219 continuity of a function on a cLosEd intErvaL

A function f(x) is said to be continuous on closed interval [a b] if

(i) f(x) is continuous in (a b) (ii) f(x) is right continuous at x = a (iii) f(x) is left continuous at x = b

22266 Mathematics at a Glance

Thus f(x) is continuous on [a b] if

(i) f(cndash) = f(c+) = f(c) forall c isin (a b) (ii) f(a) = f(a+) (iii) f(bndash) = f(b)

2220 propErtiEs of continuous function

P 3 Weierstrass Theorem (Extreme Value Theorem)If f is continuous on [a b] then f takes on a least value m and a greatest value M on this interval

P 4 Bolzanos TheoremIf f(a) and f(b) possesses opposite signs then $ at least one solution of the equation f(x) = 0 in the open interval (a b) provided that f is continuous in [a b]

P 5 A continuous functions whose domain is some closed interval must have its range also a closed interval

RemarkIf a function f(x) is continuous on an open interval (a b) or on real number line R and m and M are respectively the greatest lower bound and least upper bounds of f(x) then Range of f(x) = [m M] if f(x) attains m and M and it is (m M) if f(x) does not attain its bounds m or M are included in range if m or M are attained by the function

P 6 Continuity of inverse FunctionIf the function y = f(x) is defined continuous and strictly monotonic on the domain of function f(x) then there exists a single-valued inverse function x = f(y) defined continuous and also strictly monotonic in the range of the function y = f(x)

22211 Physical Significance

Since minusminus

f(x) f(a)x a

is an average rate of change of f(x) wrt lsquox in [a x] therefore x rarr a the interval [a x]

converts to an instant and rarr

minusminusx a

f (x) f(a)limx a

becomes instantaneous rate of change of f(x) wrt x at x = a

So differentiability physically signifies that no sudden change in the instantaneous rate of change at x = a

22212 Geometrical SignificanceDifferentiability of f(x) at x = a implies LHD = RHD This geometrically means that a unique tangent with finite slope can be drawn at x = a Therefore graph of f(x) must be smooth without any sharp edgecorner at x = a and tangent line at x = a is not vertical

Remarks (i) Tangent is also defined as the line joining two infinitely small close points on a curve

22222 Reasons of Non-differentiability of a Function at x = a

1 Discontinuity of function at x = a

2 Sharp points on graph The point P on graph is called sharp corner or kink At such

points the graph changes its direction abruptly In such case LHD ne RHD

3 Vertical tangent

4 oscillation Point If a function f(x) is continuous but left and right

derivative do not exist at x = a due to high frequency oscillations in neighbourhood of x = a then the function f(x) is non-differentiable at x = a and such a point is called oscillation point

method to check the differentiability of a given function on a set or to find domain of differentiability

1 From the graph theory or using standard functionrsquos domain of continuity find all those points where the function is discontinuous (say) x = x1 x2 x3 xn Then f(x) will be non-differentiable at these points

2 Find all those points where the function f(x) takes a sharp turn ie have kink points At these points function will be non-differentiable

3 Also find all those points where the function f(x) has vertical tangent At such points f(x) will be non-differentiable

4 Find all points where f(x) oscillates with infinite frequency At such points f(x) will be non-differentiable 5 The set ℝ except for the points of non-differentiability will be the domain of differentiability

of given function 6 If f(x) is a multi-formula function then remove the sign of equality at the points where the definition

of function changes Find the corresponding derivative functions The continuity of function at the point of separation of two different branches and continuity of derivative function implies the dif-ferentiability of function at that point

238 iMPliCit differentiation

Implicit functions are those in which y cannot be expressed exclusively in terms of x ie if the relation between the variables x and y are given by an equation containing both and this equation is not immediately solvable for y then y is called an implicit function of x For example y2 + x2 + 2xy - 3x2y = 0 or x2 y = sinxy etc

2381 Procedure to Find dydx for Implicit Function

(a) To get dydx

differentiate entire function with respect to x treating y as a function of x

(b) Collect the coefficient of dydx

at one place and transfer the remaining terms to the right hand side

(c) Find dydx

in terms of x and y

Rate of Change

If y = f (x) is a differentiable function of x then dydx

is called the instantaneous rate of change of y with

243 errors and approXIMatIons

Let a function y = f(x) be defined and if Dx be the error occurred while calculating x then we may also get an error in calculation of y ie f(x) The correct value of y should have been y = (x + Dx) But the value that we have obtained because of the error in calculation of x will be y = f(x) Therefore f(x + Dx) ndash f(x) will be the error in calculation of y and is denoted Dy

Application of Derivatives 24279

2431 Types of Errors 1 absolute errors It is the deviation of measured value of a physical quantity from its actual

value ie error = Dy = f(x + Dx) ndash f(x)

2 Relative errors It is the ratio of error to the total quantity measured eg yyδ where dy is absolute

error and y is actual value

3 Percentage errors It is given by relative error times 100 ie y 100yδ

times

4 Maximum probable error It is the error encountered in the final measured quantity assuming that all the errors occurring in the measurement of component quantities have same sign ie cumulative in nature eg if z = f(x) + f(y) then maximum probable error in z = |error in f(x)| + |error in f(y)|

The shortest distance between two non-intersecting curves is found along the common normal to the two curves In fact if the two curves also have the largest distance between them then it is also found along the common normal to the two curves This can be established with the help the concept of maximum minima

In the figure we notice that the shortest distance between the curves is AB and the largest distance between them is PQ both of which are found along a common normal Note that the common normal may be different in two cases

2416 crItIcal poInt

The points at which f (x) = 0 or f (x) does not exist are called critical point The point where f (x) = 0 are called stationary points

Remarks

(i) At critical points function may change its monotonicity but it is not always the case

(ii) If x = a is a critical point of f(x) then it is also for the function g(x) = f(x) + k k = constant and x = a + k is critical point for g(x) = f(x + k)

(iii) For a function discontinuous at x = a derivative test does not work for such function monotonicity is tested by using the basic definition of monotonic function at a point

(iv) If a function is strictly monotonic then it may be discontinuous

Application of Derivatives 24285

(v) For a discontinuous function if f(x) gt 0 forall x isin Df then it is not necessary that function is increasing

(vi) If f(x) is discontinuous then f(x) lt 0 forall x isin Df ⇏ f(x) is decreasing

(vii) For a continuous function on ℝ if f(a) = 0 f(a) ne 0 or f(a) does not exist due to sharp point then x = a is a critical point

Case 1 If f (x) lt 0 forall x isin (ndashinfin a) and f(x) gt 0 forall x isin (a infin) then (ndashinfin a] is the interval of monotonic decreasing of f(x) and [a infin) is the interval of monotonic increasing of f(x)

Case 2 If f lsquo(x) gt 0 forall x isin (ndashinfin a) and f(x) lt 0 forall x isin (a infin) then (ndash infin a] is the interval of monotonic increasing of f(x) and [a infin) is the interval of monotonic decreasing of f(x)

(viii) If f (a) = 0 and f (a) = 0 then x = a is called point of inflexion and is not a critical point In such case monotonicity of f(x) in left neighbourhood (a ndash h a) and right neighbourhood (a + h a) remain same

(ix) If f(x) is a continuous function then its intervals of monotonicity can be obtained by first finding the critical point ie point where f (x) = 0 or f (x) does not exist (f (x) ne infin) and then analysing the behaviour of f (x) to be positive or negative in the neighbourhood of critical point

(x) If f(x) is continuous function and f(a) = plusmninfin then f(x) has same monotonicity in left and right neighbourhoods of x = a

If f(a ndashh) gt 0 and frsquo(a + h) gt 0 h rarr 0+ then f(x) is monotonically increasing at x = a and f(x) is strictly increasing in (a ndash h a + h) h rarr 0+

Simillary If frsquo(a ndashh) lt 0 and frsquo(a + h) lt 0 h rarr 0+ then f(x) is monotonically decreasing at x = a and f(x) is strictly decreasing in (a ndash h a + h) h rarr 0+

(xi) While presenting the answer for intervals of monotonic increasedecrease do not use union symbols without taking adequate care

∵ It may happen that f(x) decreases in two intervals but fail to behave so in their union

Consider f(x) = x2 endashx Here f(x) darr for (ndashinfin 0) and also for (2 infin)

But as is evident from the graph of the function x1 lt x2 rArr f(x) gt f(x2) but x2 lt x3 ⇏ f(x2) gt f(x3)

Rather x2 lt x3 rArr f(x2) lt f(x3)

f(x) is not decreasing on (ndashinfin 0) cup (2 infin)

(xii) (Although when f (x) is discontinuous then this may happen that if f(x) increases in [a b] and [c d] both so it is also increases in [a b] cup [c d]

For instance see the graph function y = f(x)

Here the function increases in the intervals (a b) (c d) and we may proceed to write that it in (a b) cup (c d)

∵ Here we have f(b) ge f(c)

2417 Intervals of MonotonIcIty for dIscontInuous functIon

2420 hyper crItIcal poInt

A hyper critical point or cirtical point of second kind or second order critical point are those values x for which f (x) = 0 or f (x) does not exist

2421 poInts of InfleXIon

The point of inflexion is a point which separates the convex portion of the curve from its concave portion

Remarks 1 At the point of inflexion tangent (if exist) cuts the curve

2 Continuous function lsquof rsquo need not have an inflection point at all the points satisfying f(x) = 0 If f(x) = x4 we have f(0) = 0 but the graph of f is always concave up and hence there is no point of inflection

Let us take the function y = x5 ndash 5x4 Here y = 20x2 (x ndash 3)

Now y= 0 for x = ndash3 the second derivative changes sign and thus x = 3 is a point of inflection But when x passes through the point x = 0 the second derivative retains constant sign and therefore the origin is not a point of inflection (since the graph of the given function is concave up on both sides of the origin)

3 If x = c is a point of inflection of a curve y = f(x) and at this point there exists the second derivative f(c) then f(c) is necessarily equal to zero (f(c) = 0)

4 The point (1 0) in y = (x ndash 1)3 being both a critical point and a point of inflection is a point of horizontal inflection (Q the tangent at (1 0) on y is parallel to x-axis)

5 If a function f is such that the derivative f is continuous at x = c and f(c) = 0 while f(c) ne 0 then the curve y = f(x) has a point of inflection for x = c

Application of Derivatives 24289

6 It should be noted that a point separating a concave up arc of a curve from a concave down arc may be such that the tangent at that point is perpendicular to the x-axis ie vertical tangent or such that the tangent does not exist

This can be demonstrated easily by the behavior of the graph of the

function = 3 x in the vicinity of the origin In such a case we speak of a point of inflection with vertical tangent

7 A number c such that f(c) is not defined and the concavity of f changes at c will correspond to an inflection point if and only if f(c) is defined In other words for a point lsquocrsquo to be a point of inflection f(x) must be defined at x = c even if f(x) is not defined at x = c

If f(x) is a polynomial function then as we already know that all polynomial functions are continuous and differentiable in their domain thereby the following deduction can be made

1 If all the roots of f(x) = 0 are real then all the roots of f (x) = 0 are also real and the roots of f (x) = 0 separate the roots of f(x) = 0

Here a b c d e are the 5 roots of f(x) = 0 and a b g d are the 4 roots of f (x) = 0 2 If f(x) is of degree lsquonrsquo then f (x) is of degree lsquon ndash 1rsquo and a root of f (x) = 0 exists in each of them n ndash 1

3 Not more than one root of f(x) = 0 can lie between two consecutive roots of f (x) = 0 4 If f (x) = 0 has n real roots then f(x) = 0 cannot have more than (n + 1) real roots 5 If f(n) (x) is the nth derivative of f(x) and the equation f(n) (x) = 0 has some imaginary roots then

f(x) = 0 has atleast as many imaginary roots 6 If all the real roots a b g d of f (x) = 0 are known we can find the number of real roots of

f(x) = 0 by considering the signs of f(a) f(b)hellip A single root of f(x) = 0 or no root lies between a and b according as f(a) and f(b) have opposite

Remarks

The term lsquoextremumrsquo or lsquoextremalrsquo or lsquoturning valuersquo is used both for maximumminimum value

The above definition is applicable to all functions continuous or discontinuous differentiable or non-differentiable at x = a

If the graph of a function f attains a local maximum at the point (a f(a)) then x = a is called the point of local maximum and f(a) is called the local maximum value A similar terminology is used for local minimum

A function can have several local maximum and minimum values

If a function is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing at an interior point x = a it cannot have an extremum at x = a and vice versa

A local maximum (local minimum) value of a function may not be the greatest (least) value in a finite interval A local minimum value may be greater than a local maximum value

For a continuous function there must exist one local minima between any two local maxima and vice-versa

However this may or may not be the case for discontinuous functions

For such function f (x) is evaluated and we find the intervals of monotonic increasing and monotonic decreasing ie intervals for which f (n) gt 0 and f (n) lt 0 Let they be [n1 n2] and [n3 n4] Then we observed f(n1) f(n2) f(n3) f(n4) and max f(n2) f(n3) gives us maximum value of function and minf(n1) f(n4) gives us the minimum value of function If n ( = 1 2 3 4) is not in the domain of function then the real number in the domain nearest to n serves the purpose but it should be in the same interval of monotonicity in which n lies

eg let f(x) = 2

n (n )n 90

isin+

then f (x) gt 0 for x (0 90)isin and f (x) lt 0 for x ( 90 )isin infin

rArr f(n) has greatest value at n 90 948=

but x isin IrArr f(x) has its greatest value either at x = 9 or at n = 10 Now f(9) = 119 and f(10) = 119 Thus f(9) = f(10) = 119 is the greatest term

Chapter 25IndefInIte IntegratIon

251 INTRODUCTION

Integration is the inverse process of differentiation Instead of differentiating a function we are given the derivative of a function and asked to find its primitive ie the original function Such a process is called integration or anti-differentiation

2511 Anti-derivative of a Function

A function F(x) is called an anti-derivative of the function f(x) on the interval I say [x1 x2] iff at all the points of the interval I Fprime(x) = f(x) if x is terminal point of the interval ie x1 or x2 then Fprime(x) shall be only one-sided derivative eg Fprime(x1

+) at x1 and Fprime(x2ndash) at x = x2 Thus if f(x) is derivative

of F(x) then F(x) is an aniderivative of f(x) In fact F(x) + C C = arbitraly constant is the set of all antiderivatives of f(x)

2512 Notation of Anti-derivatives or Indefinite Integral

If Fprime(x) = f(x) forall x isin I (closed interval) then = +int f(x)dx F(x) C (anti-derivative of f(x)) where C is arbitrary constant called constant of integration

Remarks

(i) Anti-derivatives of a function f(x) if exist then they are infinitely many If F(x) is one of the anti-derivative then F(x) + C C = arbitrary constant is the set of all antiderivates

(ii) Any two anti-derivaties of a fanction differ by a constant

(iii) For anti-derivative of a function f(x) to exist over an interval [x1 x2] it is necessary that the function is continuous in that interval

(iv) Geometrically an indefinite integral int f ( x )dx is a family of curves y = F(x) + C each of whose

members is obtained by translating any one of the curves parallel to itself vertically upwards or downwards (that is along the y-axis)

Each curve f(x y) = 0 divides the entire x ndash y plane into three set of points as given in figure

R1 = (x y) f(x y) = 0 x y isinℝ ie the points lying on the curve f(x y) = 0

R2 = (x y) f(x y) gt 0 x y isinℝ ie the points lying on one side of the curve f(x y) = 0 (outside the curve if closed)

R3 = (x y) f(x y) lt 0 x y isinℝ ie the points lying on other side of f(x y) = 0 (inside the curve if closed)

Steps to Identify the Region Represented by a Given Inequality (say) f(x y) gt 0

Step I Consider the equality and draw the curve using the symmetry and other concepts of curve sketching and transformation of graphs

Step II Consider any points (a b) not lying on the curve preferably (0 0) or point on coordinate axis and determine the sign of f(a b)

Step III If f(a b) gt 0 then f(x y) gt 0 represents the region containing (a b) If f(a b) lt 0 then the region which does not contains point (a b) will be represented by inequality f(x y) gt 0

Note that the region represented by inequality f(x y) gt 0 or f(x y) lt 0 does not contain the points on the curve whereas the region represented by inequality f(x y) ge 0 and f(x y) le 0 contains the points on the curve

2722 Order and Degree of Differential Equation

27221 Order

It is the order of the highest order derivative appearing in the differential equation The order of differential equation states about the number of times the family of curve has been differentiated in order to eliminate all its parameters to form the given differential equation Therefore the order of differential equation is same as the number of effective arbitrary constants present in the family of curves from which the differential equation is derived

Example 2dyx x y sin x log xdx

+ = is of 1st order where as 2

2 x2

d y dy3x x edx dx

minus = is of second

27222 Degree

Degree of differential equation is the degree ie power of the highest order derivative present in the differential equation after the equation is made free from all radicals and fractions as far as derivatives are concerned and is written in terms of a polynomial in all differential coefficients (ie derivative involved in differential equation

To get the degree of the differential equation we first try to convert it into the following form

If the dependent variables and all its derivatives present occur in the first degree only that is neither the product of dependent variables nor product of derivative nor product of derivative and dependent vari-ables are present in the differential equation

274 non-lInear dIfferentIal equatIons

A differential equation which is not linear is termed as a non linear differential equation For instance the

2741 Formation of Family of Curves

We know that differential equations are used to represent a family of curves Family of curves is defined as a set of infinite curves having some common characteristics and atleast one variable characteristic which is represented by unknown parameter involved in the equation of family of curves (ie atleast one parameter) By assigning different values to these parameters (arbitrary constants) different members of the family of curves can be obtained

Differential Equation 27339

27411 Single parameter family

The family of curves having only one arbitrary constant eg y = mx + 2 family of lines passing through y = 2 x2 + y2 = k2 family of concentric circles y2 = kx family of parabolas y = x + k set of parallel lines

27412 Double parameter familyThese are the equations having two parameters so called family of family of curves

eg y = mx + c denoting family of family of lines in xy planeeg two families of the above family of family of lines are shown in the figure y = x + k when m = 1 y = mx + 2 when c = 2Similarly other two parameter family of curves are (x ndash h)2 + y2 = r2 (circles) y = A sin x + B cos x

y = Ax2 + Bx etc

2742 Formation of Differential EquationThe differential equation of the family of curves f(x y C1 C2 C3Cn = 0) with parameters C1 C2 C3Cn can be found by differentiating it n-times and eliminating the n-parameters by using above (n + 1) equations (One given equation and n other equation obtained by differentiating it n-times)

RemarksIt is evident that a differential equation of the nth order cannot have more than n arbitrary constants in its solution for if it had say (n + 1) on eliminating them there would appear not an equation of the nth order but one of the (n + 1)th order Finally the differential equation corresponding to a family of curves is obtained by using the following steps

(a) Identify the number of essential arbitrary constants (say n) in the equation of the curve

(b) Differentiate the equation n times

(c) Eliminate the arbitrary constants from the equation of curve and n additional equations obtained in step (b)

275 solutIon of dIfferentIal equatIon

Solving a differential equation is an inverse process of forming differential equation of a family of curves by integrating the given differential equation to obtain a general relation between the independent and de-pendent variables Therefore the solutionintegralprimitive of a differential equation is a family of curves is satisfying the differential equation in the domain of differential equation

Example y = sin x + c is solution of differential equation dy = cos x dx

276 classIfIcatIon of solutIon

2761 General SolutionA family of curves (ie relation in variables x and y) satisfying the given differential equation which contains exactly as many effective arbitrary constants as the order of differential equation is known as general solution or complete integral or complete primitives Let the equation involving the variables x y and n independent arbitrary constants be f(x y C1 C2 Cn) = 0 (i)

and the differential equation obtained from (i) be 2 n

Then (i) is called the general solution of (ii)

Notes

(i) The general solution of an ordinary differential equation of nth order contains n independent parameters (essential arbitrary constant) which means the general solution of an ordinary differential equation of order one contains one arbitrary parameter and of second order contains two independent parameters and so on

Differential Equation 27341

(ii) The general solution of a differential equation contains exactly as many essential parameters as the degree of equation While counting the parameters in the general solution it must be seen that they are essential and are not equivalent to a lesser number of parameters The parameters in the solution of a differential equation are said to be essential if it is impossible to deduce from the solution an equivalent relation containing lesser number of parameters

eg y = (A + B)ex + CeDndashx = has apparently four parameters but number of essential parameter is two this can be observed as below y = (A + B)ex + CeDendashx rArr y = C1e

x + C2endashx where C1 = A + B and C2 = CeD

27611 Particular solution

A solution obtained from the general solution by giving particular values to the arbitrary constants eg y = sinx + 1 is one particular solution of equation dy ndash cos x dx = 0

27612 Cauchyrsquos initial value problem

The problem of determining the particular solution of equation dy F(x y)dx

= (1) satisfying the

condition y(x0) = y0 (2) where x0 y0 are given numbers is referred to as Cauchyrsquos initial value problem Condition (2) is called the initial condition (boundary condition) The particular integral of equation (1) satisfying the initial condition (2) is called the solution of Cauchy problem

27613 Singular solutions

General solution of differential equations may not include all possible solutions consequently the differential equation may also possess other solutions than the general solution The solution which cannot be obtained by giving any value to arbitrary constants present in the general solution are termed as singular solution

In order to realize the existence of singular solution consider an example of family of circles (x ndash h)2 + y2 = a2 where h is parameter and a is fixed constant

It is the general solution of differential equation 2 2

dy a 1dx y

Clearly y = plusmna also satisfies the above

differential equation but it can never be obtained by providing any real value for the parameter h from the general solution Therefore y = plusmna is indeed the singular solution of the above differential equation

277 VarIable separable form

The differential equation of the form dy f(x)g(y)dx

= or dy f(x)dx g(y)

= is called variable separable form

So the general form of such equation is N(y)dy = M(x) dx which can be solved by integrating

both sides ie M(x)dx N(y)dy=int int as described as here for dy f(x)g(y)dx

=

Step I Rearrange the expression to express it in the form f(x)dx = g(y)dy

Step II Integrating both sides we get f(x)dx g(y)dy=int int Say F(x) G(y) be some anti-derivatives of

f(x) and g(y) respectively we get G(y) = F(x) + CStep III Solving the equation G(y) = F(x) + C for y we express the general solution as y = H(x C)

Triangle law of vector addition If two vectors are represented by two adjacent sides of a triangle taken in the same order then the closing side of the triangle taken in the opposite order represents the sum of the first two vectors

28111 Parallelogram law of vector addition

If two vectors are represented by the two adjacent sides of a parallelogram both in magnitude and direction then their resultant will be given by the diagonal through the intersection of these sides (in both senses ie magnitude and direction)

Remarks

(iv) Maximum number of diagonal vectors obtained by joining two on n-vertices of n-sided convex polygon = 2(nc2 ndash n)

282 classification of Vectors

Opposite Vectors (Negative Vectors)

The negative of a vector a is defined as a vector having same magnitude that of a and the direction opposite to a It is denoted as - a

Zero Vector (Null Vector)

A vector whose initial and terminal points are same is called a null vector eg

AA Such vector has zero magnitude and arbitrary (indefinite) direction It is denoted by

O + + =

CollinearParallel Vectors

Vectors having same or parallel line of action irrespective of their magnitude

Like Parallel Vectors

Two vectors having parallel line of action drawn in the same sense irrespective of their magnitude are called like parallel vectors

Unlike Parallel Vectors

Two vectors having parallel line of action drawn in the opposite sense irrespective of their magnitude are called Unlike parallel vectorsOpposite vectors are unlike parallel vectors

Free Vectors A vector a which can be represented by

any one of the two directed line segments

AB and

PQ whose lengths are equal and are in the same direction is known as a free vector Such vectors have freedom to have their initial point any where

Localized Vector If a vector is restricted to pass through a specified point (ie a fixed point) then it is called localized vector An example of a localized vector is a force as its effect depends on the point of its application Co-terminus vectors position vectors etc are examples of localized vectors

Co-initial Vectors Vectors having same initial point (say origin) are called co-initial vectors If vectors in plane (or shape) are free vectors then they can be shifted parallely and can be converted to co-initial vectors having their initial points at origin

Clearly section formula is applicable iff points P Q R lie on a straight line Thus from this fact we

have necessary and sufficient condition for three different point P Q R with position vector a b and c

to be collinear (ie lying on a straight line) there exist non-zero scalers l + m + n = 0

28358 Mathematics at a Glance

Hence a mb nc 0+ + =

where as along with above the additional condition l + m + n = 0 ensures collinearality of point P Q R

then a b c

lie

on same plane confining the line passing through points PQR and the origin Thus if any three co-terminus (Co-initial vector) or free vectors are non-coplanar(ie do not lie on same or parallel plane) then terminal point of none of three vectors can divide the line segment joining the terminal point of other two vectors Also it three co-terminus vectors having non parallel line or action are coplanar but there terminal points are non-collinear even then none of the terminal point of three vectors can divide the line segment joining the terminal points of other two vectors

Thus four section formula to be valid four point P Q and R with position vectors a b and c

the position

vector a b c

must be coplanar and PQR must be collinear However if PQR are collinear then

a b c

will be coplanar Thus for section formula to be applied for three different points PQR

collinearity of points PQR is necessary and sufficient condition However coplanarity of a b c

is

necessary condition but not sufficient a b c

are coplanar and point PQR are collinear

2861 Collinearity of the Points Point lying on same line are called collinear Two points are always collinear Thus necessary and sufficient condition for three different points A B and C to be collinear is that there exist three non-zero scalars x y z such that + + =

xa yb zc o and x + y + z = 0

However in above condition any one scalar is zero say x then + =

Conclusion The necessary and sufficient condition for three point

A(a) B(b) C(c) to be collinear is

that there exist three scalars x y z not all zeros (at most one scalar can be zero) such that + + + =

xa yb zc o and x + y + z = 0

291 IntroductIon

Since all points in a 3D space do not lie in a plane therefore to locate these points two co-ordinates are not sufficient Therefore to locate a point in a three-dimensional space we need three co-ordinates corresponding to three mutually perpendicular co-ordinate axes

These three co-ordinate axes divide the entire space into 8 parts each known as octant as shown here in the figure

(i) Shifting of origin keeping axes parallel to origin (translation of axes) If origin is shifted to point O(a b g) keeping the axes parallel to then the co-ordinates of any point P wrt new co-ordinate system are given by (X = x ndash a Y = y ndash b Z = z ndash g) where (x y z) are co-ordinates of point P wrt original co-ordinates system

Three-Dimensional Geometry 29367

(ii) Rotation of axes (keeping the origin fixed)If the axes are rotated by an angle q keeping the origin fixed then the co-ordinates of point P wrt new co-ordinates system are given by X = xcosq + y sinq Y = ndashxsinq + ycosq It can be remember by the following box

Also x = Xcosq ndash Ysinq y = Xsinq + Ycosq

Of two lines in space can be obtained they are non-parallel non-coincident but are intersecting

Method 1

Step I Compare the position vector of both lines ie let position vector of point of intersection be r

Step II Compare the scalar coefficient of linearly independent vectors to get three linear equations in l and m

Step III Solving any two to get l and m and if the values obtained satisfy 3rd equation then lines are intersecting and for the obtained value of l get the position vector of the point

Method 2

Step I Take a general point of L1 = 0 (ll1+x1 lm1+y1 ln1+z1)

Step II Substituted in equation L2 = 0 to get two equations in l

Step III If the values of l obtained from both equation are same then the lines Intersect otherwise they are parallel or skew

Step IV If the lines intersect then the values of l obtained generate point of intersection

301 ExpErimEnts

An experiment is a set of processes which are carried out under stipulated conditions to study the phenomenon associated with it It is defined as below

ldquoA mathematical operation which results in some well-defined outcomes is known as experimentrdquo Broadly there can be two types of experiments These are as follows (a) Random experiments Prediction of any specific outcome is impossible before completion of

experiments For example tossing of a coin throwing of a die etc (b) Non-random experiments Prediction of some of the outcomes can be made before performing

the experiments For example ratio of hydrogen and oxygen in a molecule of H2O throwing of a two-dimentioal die etc

Sample Space

Set(S) of all possible outcomes of random experiments For example S = 1 2 3 4 5 6 for die and S = HT for tossing a coin

Infinite Sample Space

Sample space having infinite number of elements These are of two types (a) Discrete Sample Space Having elements which can be put into a set with onendashone

correspondence with the set of natural numbers (ie sample space is countability infinite) For example tossing of a coin till a head appears S = HTHTTHTTTHhellip

(b) Continuous Sample Space Sample space is an interval or union of interval for example lifetime of a computer hard-disk manufactured by HCL has sample space S =[0 infin)

NoteThe problems related with continuous sample space are generally solved using geometrical equivalent of sample space and event space and they will be dealt in our coming article under the heading Geometrical Probability

3011 EventA subset of sample space For example E1 = 2 4 6 is the event of getting even numbers in the experi-ments of throwing of a die where S = 1 2 3 4 5 6 Clearly E1 sube S

Probability 30383

Single Event An event having single point

Compound Event An event having more than one point

Impossible Event An event having elements outside the sample space or which is emptyFor example event of getting 7 while throwing a die

Possible Event An event having elements from the sample space

Sure or Certain Event An event which is equal to the sample space

Mutually Exclusive EventsA set of events is said to be mutually exclusive if occurrence of one of them precludes the occurrence of any of the remaining events If a set of events E1 E2 En are mutually exclusive events ie Ei cap Ej = f for all i j = 1 2 n and i ne j then P(E1 cup E2 cup cup En) = P(E1) + P(E2) + P(E3) + + P(En)

3012 Exhaustive EventsA set of events is said to be exhaustive if the performance of the experiment results in the occurrence of at least one of them Therefore if a set of events E1 E2 En are exhaustive events then

P(E1 cup E2 cup cup En) = 1 =

=

n

ii 1

E S

Two events A and B are said to be mutually exhaustive if P(A cup B) = 1 ie A cup B = S

3013 Equally Likely EventsThe given events say E1 E2 En are said to be equally likely if all the factors are taken into consideration we have no reason to believe that anyone of these factors has better chances of occurrence than the other That is P (E1) = P(E2) = = P(En)

3014 Disjoint Events

Events E1 and E2 are said to be disjoint when they have no common elements That is E1 cap E 2 = f

Complementary Event Of E is Ec = (S ndash E)

3015 Independent and Dependent Events

Two events are said to be dependent if the occurence or non-occurrence of one does decides and disturbs the occurrence or non-occurrence of the other For example in the withdrawl of cards from a deck of cards without replacement the outcomes will be dependent events but if the withdrawl is done with replacement the outcomes will be independent If a set of events E1 E2 En are independent Events then P(E1 cap E2 cap E3 cap cap En) = P(E1) P(E2) P (En)

3016 Mutually Exclusive and Exhaustive EventsA set of events is said to be mutually exclusive as well as exhaustive if the conditions as given below are satisfied

Ei cap Ej = f V i j such that i ne j and E1 cup E2 cupcup En = Sfor mutually exclusive and exhaustive events E1 E2 EnProbability of occurrence of atleast one of them

= P(E1 cup E2 cup cup En) = P(E1) + P(E2) + + P(En) = 1

30384 Mathematics at a Glance

Trials Experiments performed repeatedly are known as trialsProbability of occurrence of an eventIf an event can happen in x ways and fail to happen in y ways and each of these ways is equally likely

then the probability or the chance of its occurrence will be +x

x y and that of its non-occurrence

will be +y

Mathematical and Classical Definition of Probability

For an experiment with continuous finite sample space S the probability of occurrence of an event E is

denoted by P(E) and it is defined as n(E) number of elements in EP(E)n(S) number of elementsinspace S

= =

= number of outcomes favourable to E in sample space S

total number of outcomes (elements) in S

For example in the experiment of throwing a dice the probability of getting 2 as an outcome is 16

30161 Properties of probability of event

1 The probability P(E) of occurrence of any event E lies between 0 and 1

2 Complementary event of E is denoted as Ec or Eprime or E which literally means non-occurrence of E Thus E occurs only when E does not occurs Therefore + =P(E) P(E) 1

3 If E is an impossible event then P(E) = 0 4 If E is a possible event then 0 lt P(E) lt 1 5 If E is a certain event then P(E) = 1

Remarks

1 A die is a solid cube with six faces and numbers 1 2 3 4 5 and 6 marked on the faces respectively In throwing or rolling a die any of the above numbers would shown on the uppermost face

2 A pack of cards consists of 52 cards in 4 suits ie (a) spades spades (b) Clubs clubs (c) Hearts hearts (d) diamonds diams Each suit consists of 13 cards Out of these spades and clubs are black faced cards while hearts and diamonds are red-faced cards The aces kings queens jack (or knave) are called face cards or honour cards king queen and jack are known as court cards

3 Game of Bridge It is played by 4 players each player is given 13 cards

4 Game of Whist It is played by two pairs of persons

30162 Statistical definition of probability

When a random experiment is repeated n times under similar conditions ie n trials are made and n is very large and an event E occurs r times out of the n trials then the probability of occurrence of the

event E is defined as rarrinfin

30163 Odds in favour and odds against an event

(b) Odds against = = =Enumber of unfavourable outcomes (n(E)) yP(E)

30165 Set theoretic principle

Let E1 E2 E3 E4 be four events then (a) E1 cup E2 stands for occurrence of atleast one of E1 E2 (b) E1 cap E2 stands for simultaneous occurrence of E1 and E2

(c) Eprime or E or EC stands for non occurrence of event E

(d) cap = cup1 2 1 2(E E ) E E = stands for non-occurrence of both E1 and E2 ie

the occurence of neither E1 nor E2

(e) E1 - E2 denotes the occurrence of event E1 but not of E2

(g) E1 cup E2 cup E3 denotes the occurence of at least one of the events E1 or E2 or E3

30168 Mutually independent eventsThree events E1 E2 E3 are said to be mutualy independent iff

P(E1 cap E2) = P(E1) P(E2) P(E1 cap E3) = P(E1) P(E3)P(E2 cap E3) = P(E2) P(E3) and P(E1 cap E2 cap E3) = P(E1) P(E2) P(E3)

30169 Pairwise independent events

These events would said to be pairwise independent whenP(E1 cap E2) = P(E1) P(E2) P(E2 cap E3) = P(E2) P(E3) and P(E1 cap E3) = P(E1) P(E3)Thus mutually independent events are always pairwise independent but the converse may not be true

RemarkMore than one random variables can be defined on same sample space For example in the above sample space if Y denotes the number of head minus number of tails then Y(HH) = 2 Y(HT) = 0 Y (TH) = 0 = Y(TT)= ndash2

3194 Properties of DeterminantsProperty 1 The value of determinant remains unaltered if the rows are changed into columns and

columns into rows For example if 1 1

∆ = (a1 b2 ndash b1 a2) and 1 21 2 2 1

1 2

a a(a b a b )

b bprime∆ = = minus rArr D = Dprime

Property 2 If all the elements of a rowcolumn are zero then the value of determinant will be zero

Property 3 Reduction and increase of order of determinant (a) If all the elements in a row (or a column) except one element are zeros the determinant reduces

to a determinant of an order less by one (b) A determinant can be replaced by a determinant of a higher order by one as per the requirment

31408 Mathematics at a Glance

Property 4 If any two rows or two columns of a determinant are interchanged the determinant retains its absolute value but changes its sign and symbolically the interchange of ith and jth rows or ith and jth columns is written as

i jR R∆ = minus∆ i jC C(or )minus∆

Property 5 The value of a determinant is zero if any two rows or columns are identical Symbolically it is written as DRi equiv Rj

= 0 or DCi equiv Cj = 0

Property 6 (a) If every element of a given row of matrix A is multiplied by a number l the matrix thus obtained has determinant equal to l (det A) As a consequence if every element in a row of a determinant has the same factor this can be factored out of the determinant Symbolically it is written as

i i1R Rm

mrarr

∆ = ∆

(b) If all the elements of a row (column) of a determinant are multiplied by a constant (k) then the determinant gets multiplied by that constant

Property 7 The value of the determinant corresponding to a triangular determinant is equal to product of its principal diagonal elements

Property 8 If any row or column of a determinant be passed over n rows or columns the resulting determinant will be (ndash1)n times the original determinantProperty 9 (a) If every element of a column or (row) is the sum (difference) of two terms then the determinant is equal to the sum (difference) of two determinants of same order one containing only the first term in place of each sum the other only the second term The remaining elements of both determinants are the same as in the given determinant (b) A determinant having two or more terms in the elements of a row (or column) can be written as the

sum of two or more determinantsProperty 10 The value D of a determinant A remains unchanged if all the elements of one row (column) are multiplied by a scalar and added or subtracted to the corresponding elements of another row (column) Symbolically it is written as

i i jR R mRrarr +∆ = ∆ (or j j iC C mCrarr +∆ ) and operation is also symbolically written as

Ri rarr Ri + mRj or Cj = Cj + mCi

Property 11 (a) The sum of the products of elements of a row (or column) with their corresponding co-factors is equal to the value of the determinant For example a11C11 + a12 C12 + a13 C13 = a21 C21 + a22 C22 + a23 C23 = D (b) Sum of the products of elements of any row (or column) with the co-factors of the corres sponding

elements of a parallel row (or column) is always zero For example a11 C21 + a12 C22 + a13C23 = 0Property 12 If the elements of a determinant D involve x ie the determinant is a polynomial in x and if it vanishes for x = a then (x ndash a) must be a factor of D In other words if two rows (or two column) become identical for x = a then (x ndash a) is a factor of D Generalizing this result we can say if r rows (or r columns) become identical when a is substituted for x then (x ndash a)r ndash 1 should be a factor of D

For example if 2

3

x 5 2x 9 4x 16 8

∆ = at x = 2 D = 0 (∵ C1 and C2 become identical at x = 2)

3195 CautionWhile applying all the above properties from property 1 to property 10 atleast one row (or column) must remain unchanged

311063 Method to break a determinant as the product of two determinants

(a) Observe the diagonal symmetry of the elements and apply the following facts q The determinant of skew symmetric determinant with odd order always vanishes Therefore any

odd order skew symmetric determinant can be broken into product of two matrices of which atleast one is singular

q The determinant of skew symmetric determinant with even order is a perfect square Therefore an even ordered skew symmetric determinant can be written as a square of a determinant having symmetrical elements

(b) Observe the symmetry of the elements and make sure whether (i j)th element of the given determinant can be written as Ri Cj where Ri is the i th row of the first factor (determinant) and Cj is the jth column of the second factor (determinant)

(c) While applying the approach (b) it is advised to choose the (i j)th element to be diagonal elements

328 Mode

Mode is that value in a series which occurs most frequently In a frequency distribution mode is that vari-ate which has the maximum frequency

Statistics 32417

3281 Computation of Mode

(a) Mode of Individual Series In the case of individual series the value which is repeated maximum number of times is the mode of the series

(b) Mode of Discrete Series In the case of discrete frequency distribution mode is the value of the variate corresponding to the maximum frequency

Case (i) If a group has two or more scores with the same frequency and that frequency is the maximum positive distribution is bimodal or multimodal that is to say it has several modes eg 1 1 1 4 4 5 5 5 7 8 9 9 9 has modes 1 5 and 9

Case (ii) When the scores of a group all have the same frequency there is no mode eg 2 2 3 3 6 6 9 9 has no mode

Case (iii) If two adjacent values are the maximum frequency the average of two adjacent scores is

the mode 0 1 3 3 5 5 7 8 mode = +=

3 5 42

(c) Mode of Continuous Series Case 1 When classes have the same width Step 1 Find the modal class ie the class which has maximum frequency The modal class can be

determined either by inspection or with the help of grouping table Step 1 The mode is given by the formula

Mode = minus

329 Measures of dispersion

The degree to which numerical values in the set of values tend to spread about an average value is called the dispersion of variation The commonly used measures of dispersion are (a) Range (b) Quartile Deviation or Semi-inter-quartile Range (c) Mean Deviation (d) Standard Deviation

Range It is the difference between the greatest and the smallest observations of the distributionIf L is the largest and s is the smallest observation in a distribution then its Range = L ndash S Also

Remarks (i) Coefficient of variation and consistency are reciprocal of each other Higher is the CV lower will be

the consistency (stability) again lower is the CV higher will be the stability

(ii) If we are given scores of two players and the number of matches in which the given scores were attained and we are asked to find better run getter the player with best average (mean) Also we are asked to find most stable player or most consistent player the player with lower CV (Coefficient of variation)

Any presentation or work on Mathematics must be conceived as an art rather than a text This is where this work holds it differently During my school days and throughout my long teaching career I realized that most of the JEE aspirants feel the need of a book that may provide them with rapid revision of all the concepts they learned and their important applications throughout their two years long time of preparation I prefer to call it Mathematics at a Glance The present book is written with sole objective of that The entire syllabus of Mathematics for AIEEE JEE Mains and JEE Advanced has been presented in an unprecedented format The reader ought to have the following pre requisites before going through it

(i) HeShe must have ample knowledge of high school Mathematics (ii) Must have conceptualtheoretical knowledge behind the various mathematical thoughts presented (iii) Must be confident enough that heshe is not the father of Mathematics and if not comfortable with

any concept or text we shall be thankful to have your valuable advice

As the name of this work suggests that it has been designed to help during revision It must be kept in mind that the motive of the text is to provide a recapitulation of the entire mathematics that you have studied in your mainstream syllabus While going through the book if you want detailed analysis of any thought or idea you must go for

ldquoFundamentals of Mathematics---By Sanjay MishrardquoAll the suggestions for improvement are welcome and shall be greatfully acknowledged

14 STATEMENTS AND MATHEMATICAL STATEMENTS

141 Statement

It is a sentence which is complete in itself and explains its meanings completely eg Delhi is the capital of India

142 Mathematical StatementsA given statement is mathematical if either it is true or it is false but not both

143 Scientific StatementA given sentence will qualify as a scientific statement even if it may be true conditionally eg mass can be neither created nor destroyed

Foundation of Mathematics 13

15 CLASSIFICATION OF MATHEMATICAL STATEMENTS

1 axiom Mathematical statements which are accepted as truth without any formal proof given for it eg Equals added to equals are equals

2 Definition Mathematical statement which is used to explain the meaning of certain words used in the subject

Eg ldquoThe integers other than plusmn1 and 0 which are divisible by either one or by themselves are called prime integersrdquo

3 Theorems A mathematical statement which is accepted as lsquotruthrsquo only when a formal proof is given for it like summation of interior angles of a triangle is 180 degree is a theorem

151 ConjecturesIn mathematics a conjecture is an unproven proposition that appears correct For example every even integer greater than two can be expressed as a sum of two primes

152 Mathematical Reasoning

Reasoning is a process of logical steps that enables us to arrive at a conclusion In mathematics there are two types of reasoning These are as follows 1 inductive Reasoning Like that in mathematical induction 2 Deductive Reasoning Series of steps to deduct one mathematical statement from the other and

their proof which will be discussed in the text

16 WORKING ON MATHEMATICAL STATEMENTS

161 Negation of a Statement

The denial of a statement is called its negation To negate a statement we can use phrases like ldquoIt is falserdquo ldquois notrdquo Rita is at home rArr Rita is not at home

162 Compounding of Statements

Compounding of statements is defined as combining two or more component statements using the connecting words like lsquoandrsquo and lsquoorrsquo etc The new statement formed is called a compound statement

Compounding with OR

p x is odd prime numberq x is perfect square of integer

x is a odd prime or a perfect square integer

Compounding with AND

p 2 is a prime numberq 2 is an even number

2 is a prime and even natural number

NoteOR be inclusive or exclusive depending both conditions are simultaneously possible or not respectively

14 Mathematics at a Glance

17 IMPLICATION OF A STATEMENT

If two statement p and q are connected by the group of words lsquoifhellip thenhelliprsquo the resulting compound statement

lsquoif p then qrsquo is called lsquoconditional implicationsrsquo of p and q is written in symbolic form as lsquop rarr qrsquo (read as lsquop implies qrsquo)

eg p the pressure increases q the volume increasesThen implication of the statements p and q is given by p rarr q if the pressure increases then the

volume decreases

171 Converse of a Statement

it is given by p rArr q means q rArr pIf a integer n is even then n2 is divisible by 4 Converse is ldquoIf n2 is divisible by 4 then n must be evenrdquo

172 Contra Positive of a Statement p rArr q is ~q rArr ~p

If a triangle has two equal sides then it is isosceles triangle Its contrapositive is lsquoif a triangle is not isosceles then it has no two sides equalrsquo

18 TRUTH VALUE

The truth (T) or falsity (F) of any statement is called its truth value Eg every mathematical statement is either true or false Truth value of a true statement is (T) and that of a false statement is (F)

Given below in the table are Venn Diagrams and truth tables of various mathematical and logical operations

19 QUANTIFIERS

These are phrases like ldquothere exists $rdquo ldquofor all forallrdquo less than greater than etc For example there exist a polygon having its all sides equal is known as a regular polygon

191 Proofs in MathematicsWe can prove a mathematical statement in various ways which are categorized as straightforward Mathod of exhaustion Mathematical induction Using counter example Contradiction and Contrapositive statements

192 What is a Mathematical AssumptionA mathematical statement which is assumed to be true until a contradiction is achieved An assumed statement may prove to be false at a later stage of mathematical analysis

nuMbeR systeMWell Life without numbers is unpredictable Numbers have been used since ages to facilitate our transac-tions regarding trade exchange or other mathematical purposes Number system has successfully replaced the Bartar system of exchange In this text we will discuss the number system followed by mathematical analysis of real world problems Our present number system is known as Indo-Arabic number system

110 SET OF NATURAL NUMBERS

ℕ = x x is counting number) Counting numbers are called lsquonatural numbersrsquo and their set is denoted as = 1 2 3 4 5

16 Mathematics at a Glance

If 0 is not included in the set of natural numbers then we obtain whole numbers (W) W = 0 1 2 3

1101 Algebraic Properties of Natural Numbers

They are associative and commutative ie for all a b c in the set of natural numbersassociative law a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c a(bc) = (ab)ccommutative law a + b = b + a ab = ba

The set of statements P(n) n isin N is true for each natural number n ge m is provided thatP(m) is trueP(k) is true for n = k (where k ge m)rArr P(n) is true for

n = k + 1

Let there be a proposition or a mathematical statement namely P(n) involving a natural num-ber n In order to prove that P(n) is true for all natural numbers n ge m we proceed as followsVerify that P(m) is trueAssume that P(k) is true (where k ge m)Prove that P(k + 1) is trueOnce step ndash (c) is completed after (a) and (b) we are through ie P(n) is true for all natural numbers n ge m

Ratio It is a rational between two quantities that tells us what multiplepart one quantity is of the other Therefore if x and y are two quantities of the same kind then their ratio is x y which may be denoted by xy (This may be an integer or fraction)

1 A ratio may be represented in a number of ways eg x mx nxy my ny= = = where m nare

non-zero numbers 2 To compare two or more ratios always reduce them to a common denominator

It is a very useful method for solving pair of linear equations in two or three variables Given two equations a1x + b1y + c1 helliphellip (i)a2x + b2y + c2z helliphellip (ii)

Thus we can conclude that the set of solution of above pair of equation can always be expressed by the ratio x y z in terms of coefficients of the equations

step (1) Express the coefficients of x y z beginning with y in cyclic order as shown in the figure and take the product of the coefficients indicated by arrows

step (2) The product formed by descending arrows is considered positive and those by ascending arrows is taken negative

step (3) So we get x y z (b1c2 ndash b2c1) (c1a2 ndash c2a1) (a1b2 ndash a2b1)

120 INTRODUCTION

The concept of inequality finds its origin from the property of order of real numbers An inequation is marked by the use of logical operations such as lt gt le ge ne etc An inequation can have one or more than one variables ax + by + c ge 0

inequation An inequation is a statement involving sign of inequality ie lt gt le ge ≮ ≯ ne

1201 Classification of InequalityInequalities are of four types

If a ndash b gt 0 rArr a gt b (read a greater than b)If a ndash b ge 0 rArr a ge b (read a greater than or equal to b)If a ndash b lt 0 rArr a lt b (read a is less than b)If a ndash b le 0 rArr a le b (read a is less than or equal to b)

linear inequality Inequality having variables in one degree eg 2x + 3y gt 5 x ndash 2y + 3z = 5 etc

solution of inequality The values of unknown variable which satisfies the given inequation are called solutions of inequality eg x = 2 y = 4 is a particular solution of inequality 2x + 3y gt 5

12011 Basic properties of inequality and laws

(i) transition property If a gt b and b gt c rArr a gt c (ii) law of trichotomy If x and y are two real numbers then exactly one of the three statements

real number) (vii) If a gt b then ac lt bc forall c lt 0 (sign of inequality gets reverse when multiplied both sides by negative

real number)

(viii) If a gt b then a b for c 0c cgt gt and a b for c 0

1 by graphical method Let L equiv ax + by + c = 0 be a line then by = ndashax ndash c Since the P point satisfies the equation of the line aa + bb + c = 0 From the given diagram we interpret that g gt b bg gt bb for b gt 0 rArr aa + bg gt aa + bb rArr aa + bg + c gt aa + bb + c rArr aa + bg + c gt 0 Thus all the points lying in the half plane II above the line ax + by + c = 0 satisfies the

inequality ax + by + c gt 0 Similarly in case b lt 0 we can prove that the point satisfying ax + by + c gt 0 lies in the

half plane I Hence we infer that all points satisfying ax + by + c gt 0 lies in one of the half plane II or I

according as b gt 0 or b lt 0 and conversely Thus the straight line ax + by + c = 0 divides the whole x ndashy plane into three regions (a) For b lt 0 (i) R1 = (a b) aa + bb + c = 0 (ii) R2 = (a b) aa + bb + c lt 0 (iii) R3 = (a b) aa + bb + c gt 0 (b) For b gt 0

linear expression for P (ab) step iV Check whether it satisfies the inequality or not If it satisfies

then the inequality represents the half plane which contains the point and shade the region

step V Otherwise the inequality represents that half plane which does not contain the point within it

For convenience the point (0 0) is preferred step Vi The set R1 is a straight line while the sets R2 and R3 are called open half planes The set

R1 cup R3 represent the points whose co-ordinates satisfy ax + by + c ge 0 (b gt 0) and R1 cup R2 represent the points whose co-ordinates satisfying ax + by + c le 0 (b gt 0) Here R2 is the solution region of inequality ax + by + c lt 0 b gt 0 and R3 is the solution region of inequality ax + by + c gt 0 b gt 0

21 ExponEntial Function

If a is a positive real number then ax (a ne 1) is always positive and it is called lsquoexponential function of xrsquo Here a is called lsquobasersquo and x is called index

211 Properties of Exponential Functions

(i) As we know that = times times times forall isin

n

n times

a a a a n where a is called lsquobasersquo and n is index or exponent

Exponential function f(x) = ax is generalisation of this law to facilitate some useful applications with some imposed functional restrictions ie a gt 0 and a ne 1

(ii) Domain of f(x) is set of real number and range of f(x) is (0 infin) ie forall x isinℝ f(x) = ax associates x to some positive real number uniquely ie exponential function f(x) is defined such that it is invertible

(iii) For a lt 0 and a = 0 the function f(x) = ax loses its meaning for some values of x isin ℝ For instance for a = ndash1 ndash12 ndash3 etc

f(x) = ax becomes non-real forall =pxq

where p and q are co-prime and q is an even integer

eg (ndash3)32 (ndash1)14 etcSimilarly when base a = 0 then f(x) = 0x does not remain an one-to-one function which is required for invariability same restriction also holds for a = 1 Since then f(x) = 1x again becomes many one function as all inputs x get associated to single output 1Therefore we conclude that for f(x) = ax the base a gt 0 a ne 1 and x isin ℝ thus y isin (0 infin)

(iv) If the base a is Euler number lsquoersquo then the exponential function ex is known as natural exponential function

212 Laws of Indices

(i) ax is defined and ax gt 0 forall x isin ℝ (ii) a0 = 1 We can observe that rarrn a 1 as n assumes very large value (n rarr infin) and it is true for both

cases ie a gt 1 or a isin (0 1) therefore when n rarr infin = = =1n 0n a a a 1

input x increases It can be understood from the table given below

input x increases which can be observed in the following table

3 If the base a gt 1 then ax ge 1 for all x ge 0 and ax lt 1 when x lt 0 if 0 lt a lt 1 then 0 lt ax lt 1 for x gt 0 and ax gt 1 for x lt 0 The above fact as well as the relative position of graphs of exponenital functions with different bases can be understood with the help of following figure

If the base a gt 1 then ax ge 1 for all x ge 0

214 Composite Exponential FunctionsA composite function is a function in which both the base and the exponent are the functions of x Generally any function of this form is a composite exponential function This function is also called an exponential power function or a power exponential function ie y = [u(x)]v(x) = uv In calculus the domain consists of such values of x for which u(x) and v(x) are defined and u(x) gt 0

215 Methods of Solving Exponential Equation

To solve an exponential equation we make use of the following facts

(i) If the equation is of the form ax = ay(a gt 0) rArr x = y or a = 1 (ii) If the equation is of the form ax = bx (a b gt 0) rArr either x = 0 or a = b (iii) If the equation is of the form ax = k (a gt 0) then

Case I If b ge 0 rArr x isin Case II If b gt 0 k ne 1 rArr x = logak Case III If a = 1 k ne 1 rArr x isin Case IV If a = 1 k = 1 rArr x isin ℝ(Since 1x = 1 rArr 1 = 1 x isin ℝ)

(iii) If the equation is of the form af(x) = ag(x) where a gt 0 and a ne 1 then the equation will be equivalent to the equation f(x) = g(x)

Remarksax = 1 rArr x = 0 is an incomplete conclusion it is only true if the base a ne 0 plusmn 1if a = 0 so equality does not holds as 00 is meaningless

Where as when a = 1 then an = 1 rArr 1x = 1 Thus x isin ℝ

In case a = ndash1 then (ndash1)x = 1 is true for x = pq when p is even and GCD of p and q = 1

22 Solving ExponEntial inEquality

(i) The value of ax increases as the value of x increases when base a isin (1 infin) but the value of ax de-

creases as the value of x increases when base a isin (0 1) ge gtge rArr le isin

x y x y if a 1a a

x y if a (01)

(ii) The elementary exponential inequalities are inequalities of form ax gt k ax lt k where a and k are certain numbers (a gt 0 a ne 1) Depending on the values of the parameters a and k the set of solutions of the inequality ax gt k can be in the following forms1 x isin (logak infin) for a gt 1 k gt 02 x isin (ndashinfin logak) for 0 lt a lt 1 k gt 03 x isin ℝ for a gt 0 k lt 0Depending on the values of a and k the set of solutions of the inequality ax lt k can be in the fol-lowing forms1 x isin (ndashinfin logak) for a gt 1 k gt 02 x isin (logak infin ) for 0 lt a lt 1 k gt 03 x isin for a gt 0 k lt 0 (ie the inequality has no solutions)

23 logaRitHMic Function

The logarithm of any number N to the given base a is the exponent or index or the power to which the base must be raised to obtain the number N Thus if ax = N x is called the logarithm of N to the base a It is denoted as logaN

loga N = x hArr ax = N a gt 0 a ne 1 and N gt 0

Notes

(a) The logarithm of a number is unique ie no number can have two different logarithms to a given base

(b) The base lsquoarsquo is a positive real number but excluding 1 ie a gt 0 a ne 1 As a consequence of the definition of exponential function we exclude a = 1

Since for a = 1 logax = y rArr x = ay = 1y which has no relevance to the cases of logax when x ne 1 ie for all values of exponent the value of x remains 1

(c) The number lsquoxrsquo represents result of exponentiation ie ay therefore it is also a positive real number ie x = ay gt 0

(d) The exponent lsquoyrsquo ie logarithm of lsquoxrsquo is a real number and neither a nor x equals to zero

(d) Domain of function y = logax is (0 infin) and the range (-infin infin)

when x rarr 0 then logax rarr-infin (for a gt 1) and logax rarr infin (for 0 lt a lt 1) because y = logax rArr x = ay which approaches to zero iff y rarr-infin as a-infin = 0 forall a gt 1 and when a isin (0 1) x = ay approaches to zero iff y rarr infin ∵ ainfin = 0 if 0 lt a lt 1

(e) Common Logarithms and Natural Logarithms The base of logarithm can be any positive number other than 1 but basically two bases are mostly used They are 10 and e (=2718 approximately) Logarithm of numbers to the base 10 are named as Common Logarithms whereas the logarithms of the numbers to the base e are called as Natural or Napierian logarithms

If a = 10 then we write log b instead of log10b

If a = e then we write ℓnb instead of logeb

We find logea = log10a loge10 or e10

e

log alog a 0434

log 10= = logea (this transformation is used to convert

natural logarithm to common logarithm)

231 Properties of Logarithm

P 1 loga 1 = 0 because 0 is the power to which a must be raised to obtain 1 P 2 logaa = 1 since 1 is the power to which a must be raised to obtain a P 3 alogaN = N and logaa

N = N as N is the power to which a must be raised to obtain aN P 4 logm(ab) = logm a + logmb (a gt 0 b gt 0) Logarithm of the product of two numbers to a certain base

is equal to the sum of the logarithms of the numbers to the same base

Exponential Logarithm 233

P 5 logm (ab) = logma-logmb logarithm of the quotient of two numbers is equal to the difference of their logarithms base remaining the same throughout

P 6 loga Nk = k logaN (k is any real number) Logarithm of the power of a number is equal to the product

of the power and logarithm of the number (base remaining the same) P 7 logak N = (1k)loga N

Note

(1) The property 4 5 6 7 are not applicable conditionally because logaM + logaN is defined only when M and N are both positive whereas logaMN is defined even if M and N are both negative Therefore logaMN cannot be always replaced by logaM + logaN Therefore such replacement can lead to loss of root while solving an equation

(2) Thus to avoid the loss of root we consider the following transformations

(a) logaMN = loga |M| + loga |N| (when MN gt 0)

(b) a a a

Mlog log |M | log |N |

N= minus (when MN gt 0 N ne 0)

(c) logaN2k = 2k loga |N| (when N ne 0 k an integer)

(d) k |a|a

1log N log N

2k2 = (when N gt 0 k is an integer ne 0 a ne 0 |a| ne 1)

(3) The transformation 2(a) 2(b) or also valid conditionally as LHS is defined when M and N have same sign whereas the RHS is defined for any arbitrary values of M and N other than zero So such replacement while solving an equation can generate extraneous roots but since extraneous roots can be counter checked (and those not satisfying the parent equation can always be discarded) on the other hand the loss of root is difficult be traced therefore it is suggested to use the results of 2(a) 2(b) 2(c) 2(d) in place of property number 4 5 6 7 While simplifying and solving equationinequations

P 8 logba = logca logbc

P 9 = =cb

(i) Arithmetic Progression It is the progression in which the difference of successive terms remain constant and this constant is known as common difference (eg sequence of odd natural numbers 1 3 5 7 )

321 Properties of Arithmetic Progression P1 If a is the first term and d is the common difference of the AP then AP can be written as a a + d

a + 2d a + ( n -1)d P2 General Terms nth term from beginning Tn = a + (n - 1)d = l (last term) where d = Tn - Tnndash1 n

th term from last Tn = l + (n -1) (-d)

bull If d gt 0 rArrincreasing Arithmetic Progression (AP) bull If d lt 0 rArrdecreasing Arithmetic Progression (AP) bull If d = 0 rArrall the terms remain same P3 Hence the nth term can also be written as Tn = Sn - Sn-1 P4 Sum of first n terms Sn = n2 [2a + (n -1)d] = n2 [a + l )

bull Sum of the first n natural number is n(n 1)2+ bull Sum of the first n odd natural number is n2

bull Sum of the first n even natural number is n(n + 1) P5 Summation of equidistant terms from beginning and end of an AP is always constant and is equal

to sum of the first and last term rArr n 1 n 2 n 1n nS (T T ) (T T ) 2 2 minus= + = + +

P6 If the nth term tn = an + b then the series so formed is an AP P7 If the sum of first n terms of a series is Sn = an2 + bn + c then the series so formed is an AP (provided

c = 0) If c ne 0 then series formed will be AP from the 2nd term onward P8 If every term of an AP is increased or decreased by the same quantity the resulting terms will also

be in AP with no change in common difference P9 If every term of an AP (CD = d) is multiplied or divided by the same non-zero quantity K then the

resulting terms will be in AP with new common difference equal to dK or dK P10 If the corresponding terms of two APrsquos are added or subtracted the resulting is also an AP

If the differences of the successive terms (dkrsquos) of a series are in AP or GP then we can find nth term of the series by the following procedureStep 1 Denote the nth term and the sum of the series upto n terms of the series by Tn and Sn respectivelyStep 2 Rewrite the given series with each term shifted by one place to the rightStep 3 Then substract the second expression of Sn from the first expression to obtain Tn

Remarks

(a) Difference of successive terms is constant then nth term is given by Tn = a + bn (where a and b is constant)Sn = S Tn

521 Polynomial Equation

When a polynomials expression is equated to zero then it generates corresponding equation Roots of polynomial expression are the solution of its corresponding equation A Polynomial equation of nth degree has exactly n roots not necessarily all real (Because it can be

factorized into exactly n linear factors) Two polynomials are equal if they have same degree and same coefficients corresponding to same

power of x If sum of coefficients of a polynomial equation vanishes then x = 1 is one of its roots If sum of coefficients of odd power term of x is equal to the sum of coefficients of even power term

of x then x = ndash1 is one of its roots

Therefore to prove a nth degree polynomial equation to be an identity there are two ways Either show that number of roots ge n + 1 Show that all the coefficients are zero

(i) D gt 0 and (ii) a f(k) lt 0 (b) Condition for both the roots of a quadratic equation to lie

between numbers k1 and k2 or in the interval k1lt x lt k2

If both the roots aand b of a quadratic equation lie between number k1 and k2

(i) D gt 0 (ii) a f(k1) gt 0 a f(k2) gt 0 and (iii) k1 lt ndashb2a lt k2 (c) Conditions for a number k to be less than the roots of a

quadratic equation or under what condition will both roots of ax2 + bx + c = 0 be greater than a certain specified number k

Thus a number k is smaller than the roots of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 iff (i) D gt 0 (ii) a f(k) gt 0 (iii) k lt ndashb2a

(d) Condition for exactly one root of a quadratic equation to lie in the interval (k1 k2) where k1 lt k2

If exactly one root of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 lies in the interval (k1 k2) then the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 must have real roots and f(k1) and f(k2) must be of opposite signs Thus exactly one root of the equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 lies in the interval (k1 k2) if

(i) D gt 0 (ii) f(k1) f(k2) lt 0

Step 1 To check at most positive roots in f(x) = 0 Check change in sign = most positive roots eg f(x) = x9 + 5x8 ndash x3 + 7x + 2 = 0 There are 2 changes in sign at most 2 positive roots

Step 2 Check at most negative roots in f(x) = 0 The numbers of changes in sign = most negative roots eg f(x) = x9 + 5x8 - x3 + 7x + 2rArr f(- x) = - x9 + 5x8 + x3 - 7x + 2 There are 3 changes in sign at most 3 negative roots

581 Some Important Forms of Quadratic Equations

An equation f(x) = 0 cannot have more positive roots then there are changes of sign in f(x) and cannot have more negative roots than there are changes of sign in f(ndashx)

1 An equation of the form (x ndash a) (x ndash b) (x ndash c) (x ndash d) = A where a lt b lt c lt d a + b = c + d can be solved by a change of variable

Tips and TricksThe truth of the following statements will be readily admitted

1 If all the coefficients are real then the imaginary roots occurs in pairs (ie number of complex roots is always even)

2 If the degree of a polynomial equation is odd then the number of real roots will also be odd It follows than at least one of the roots will be real

3 Every equation of an odd degree has at least one real root whose sign is opposite to that of its last term

4 Every equation which is of even degree and has its last term negative has at least two real roots one positive and one negative

8 If the coefficients are all positive the equation has no positive root Thus the equation x5 + x3 + 2x +1 = 0 cannot have a positive root

9 If the coefficients of the even powers of x are all of one sign and the coefficients of the odd powers are all of the contrary sign the equation has no negative root Thus thee quation x7 + x5

ndash 2x4 + x3 ndash 3x2 + 7x ndash 5 = 0 cannot have a negative root

10 If the equation contains only even powers of x and the coefficients are all of the same sign the equation has no real root Thus the equation 2x6 + 3x4 + x2 + 7 = 0 cannot have a real root

11 If the equation contains only odd powers of x and the coefficients are all of the same sign the equation has no real root except x = 0 Thus the equation x9 + 2x5 + 3x3 + x = 0 has no real root except x = 0

12 If there is no change in sign then all the roots are imaginary

13 If in the polynomial of degree n the maximum number of possible positive real roots is k1 and maximum number of possible negative real roots is k2 and zero is not the root of polynomial then the minimum number of complex roots will be equal to n ndash (k1 + k2)

Combination

61 introduction

Permutations and combinations is the art of counting without counting ie we study various principles and techniques of counting to obtain the total number of ways an event can occur without counting each and every way individually

62 Fundamental PrinciPles oF counting

621 Addition Rule

If an event (operation) E1 can occur in n1 ways E2 can occur in n2 ways hellip and Ek can occur in nk ways (where k ge 1) And these ways for the above events to occur are pair-wise disjoint then the number of

ways for at least one of the events (E1 E2 E3 hellip or Ek) to occurs is (n1 + n2 + n3 + hellip + nk) = i k

i 1 2 k ii 1i 1

A | A A A | | A |==

where |Ai|

denotes the number of elements in the set Ai

622 Multiplication RuleIf an event E can be decomposed into n ordered event E1 E2 hellip Er and that there are n1 ways for the event E1 to occurs n2 ways for the event E2 to occur hellip nr ways for the event Er to occur Then the total number

of ways for the event E to occur is given by n(E1 and E2 and hellip and Er) = r

bull Both addition and multiplication rules can be extended to any finite number of mutually exclusive operations

623 Complementation Rule

If A and A are two complementary sets and S be universal set thenQ ( )n(A) + n A = n(S) rArr = minusn(A) n(S) n(A)

So we count n(A) or n(A) whichever is easier to count then subtract from n(S) to get the other

624 Principles of Inclusion-Exclusion

Let X be a finite set of m elements and x1 x2 x3 xr be some properties which the elements of X may or may not have if the subset of X having the property xi (where i = 1 2 3 r) is Xi and those having both

properties xi and xj is denoted by i jX Xcap and so on

625 Injection and Bijection Principles

Suppose that a group of n students attend a lecture in a lecture theater which has 100 seats assuming that no student occupies more than one seat and no two students share a seat if it is known that every student has a seat then we must have n le 100 If it known furthermore that no seat is vacant then we are sure that n = 100 without actually counting the number of students

6251 Injection principle (IP)

Let A and B be two finite sets if there is an injection from A to B then |A| le |B|

6252 Bijection principle (BP)

Let A and B be two finite sets if there is a bijection from A to B then |A| = |B|

63 combinations and Permutations

Each of the groups or selections which can be made by taking some or all of a number of things without considering the order in which the objects are taken is called a combination Whereas a selection of objects where the order in which the objects are taken is also taken into account is called as an arrangementpermutation

To understand the concept of combination and permutation let us consider the combinations which can be made by taking the letters from a b c d two at a time namely

Combinations (total no 6)

Permutations (totalnumber 12)

NoteFrom the above illustration it is simply clear that in combinations we are only concerned with the number of things each selection contains without taking into account the order in which the objects are being selected (ie ab and ba are regarded as same selection) Whereas in permutation the order of objects is taken into account

64 Permutation oF diFFerent objects

Case I When repetition of objects is not allowedNumber of permutation of n distinct things taken r at a time (0 le r le n) is denoted by nPr and it is equivalent to filling up of r vacancies by n different person clearly first place can be filled in n ways and after which 2nd place can be filled in (n -1) ways and 3rd place can be filled in (n - 2) ways and similarly rth place can be filled in (n - r + 1) ways

rArr nPr = n(n - 1) (n - 2) (n - r + 1) = n(n r)minus

Explanation let N be the required number of permutations From any of these if the p like things were different we could make p new permutations Thus if the p like things were all different we would have got N(p) new permutations Similarly if the q like things were different we would get N (q) new permutations from each of the second set of permutations

Thus if the p like things and the q like things were all different we would have got Npq permutations in all The process is continued untill all the sets of like things are different and we then get the number of permutations of n things taken all at a time when they are all different (which is n)

67 circular Permutation

The arrangement of objects around a circle is called lsquocircular permutationrsquo Two circular permutations are called identical iff one of them can be super imposed on the other by a suitable rotation without overturn-ing and without changing the relative position of object eg following 5 circular permutations are identical

671 Circular Permutation of n ObjectsWhen lsquonrsquo distinct objects (A1 A2 A3 An) are to be arranged around a circle then each circular arrangement generates lsquonrsquo number of distinct linear arrangements by rotating the objects around the

circle by 0360

n

at a time (keeping their relative position fixed)

rArr Each circular array generates lsquonrsquo linear permutation Let the total number of circular array be x

rArr Number of linear arrays = nx rArr nx = n rArr nx = n 1n

= minus

Remark bull As in circular permutation (unlike linear permutations) there is no initial and terminal position

therefore fixing the position of one object around the circle its position acts as a terminal consequently the remaining (n ndash 1) positions become as distinct as in linear permutations Therefore rest of (n ndash 1) object can be arranged in these position in (n ndash 1) ways

Permutation and Combination 1669

ExplanationIn a circular permutation the relative position among the things is important whereas the place of a thing has no significance Thus in a circular permutation the first thing can be placed anywhere This operation can be done only in one way then relative order begins Thus the ways for performing remaining parts of the operation can be calculated just like the calculation of linear permutation for an example to place 8 different things round a circle first we place any one thing at any place there will be only one numbers of ways = 7 Thus required number of circular permutations if 7

bull Since each circular arrangement has its unique counter-clockwise arrangement therefore the number

of clockwise array = number of counter-clockwise arrays = minus( n 1)2

bull In a garland of flowers or a necklace of beads (since the overturning of permutations is possible) It is difficult to distinguish clockwise and anti-clockwise orders of things so a circular permutation under both these orders (the clockwise and anti-clockwise) is considered to be the same

Therefore the number of ways of arranging n beads along a circular wire is minus( n 1)2

682 Sum of Divisor

Since each individual divisor is given as terms of the expansion (p0 + p1 + p2 + + pa) (1+ q + q2 + + qb) (1+ r + r2 + + rc) therefore the sum of all divisors is = 1 + p + q + r + p2 + q2 + r2 + pq + pr ++ pa qb rc

Explanation It can be obtained by assuming the selection of k distinct object and rest r ndash k objects identical and taking the values of variable k from 0 to r (or p) whichever is less

For an instance when no object is selected from identical objects (k = 0) then the number of selection = nndashpCr

6101 Distribution Among Unequal Groups

To find the number of ways in which m + n things can be divide into two groups containing m and n things respectively This is clearly equivalent to finding the number of combinations of m + n things taking m at a time for every time we select a group of m things we leave a group of n things behind

Thus the required number = (m n)mn+

Permutation and Combination 1675

6102 To Find the Number of Ways in Which the m + n + p Things Can be Divided into Three Groups Containing m n p Things Separately

First divide the m + n + p things into two groups containing m and n + p things respectively the number

of ways in which this can be done is m+n+pCm = (m n p)m(n p)+ +

+ And the number of ways in which the group of

n + p things can be divided into two groups containing n and p things respectively is n pn

(n p)C np

the number of ways in which the subdivision into three groups containing m n p things can be made follows

6103 Distribution Among Equal Groups

When name of groups is not specified If 2m objects are to be distributed among two equal groups

containing m objects each Then it can be done in (m m)m m2

+ = 2

2m(m) 2

because each division it is possible

to arrange the groups into 2 ways without obtaining new distributionExplanation Then we divide the total number of arrangements obtained normally by k where k is |

number of groups among which the objects are distributed If we put n = p = m we obtain3m

m m m

but since this include 3 times the actual number of divisions because of the arrangement of groups among them selves therefore the number of different ways in which subdivision into three equal groups can

be made is =3m

71 IntroductIon

We have dealt with expansions of (x + a)2 while dealing with quadratic equations Herein we will study expansions of the form (x + a)n Any power of binomial expression (a + x)2 can be expanded in the form of a series which is obtained the by process of continuous multiplication as shown here (a + x)2 = (a + x) (a + x) = a2 + ax + ax + x2 = a2 + 2ax + x2 which can be explained as the terms of expansion are obtained when any one of two terms a or x are selected from each factor and finally they are multiplied together

Chapter 9trigonometriC ratios and identities

91 INTRODUCTION

The word lsquotrigonometryrsquo is derived from two Greek words (i) trigon (means a triangle) and (ii) metron (means a measure) Therefore trigonometry means science of measuring the sides of angles and study of the relations between side and angles of triangle

92 ANgle

Angle is defined as the measure of rotation undergone by a given revolving ray OX in a plane about its initial point O The original ray OX is called the initial side and the final position (OP) of the ray after rotation is called the terminal side of the angle angXOP The point of rotation (O) is called the vertex

921 Rules for Signs of Angles

bull If initial ray OA rotates to terminal ray OA then angle = q (rotation anti clockwise)

bull If initial ray OA rotates to terminal ray OB then angle = ndashq (rotation clockwise) where q is the measure of rotation

922 Measurement of AngleThe measurement of angle is done under the following three systems of measurement of angles

9221 Sexagesimal or english system

1 right angle = 900 (degrees) 10 = 60 (minutes)1 = 60 (seconds)

9222 Centesimal or french system (Grade)

1 right angle = 100g (grades) 1g = 100 (minutes)1 = 100 (seconds)

988 Mathematics at a Glance

RemarkThe minutes and seconds in the sexagesimal system are different them the respective minutes and seconds in the centesimal system Symbols in both there systems are also different

9223 Radian measure or circular measurement

One radian corresponds to the angle subtended by arc of length r (radius) at the centre of the circle with radius r Since the ratio is independent of the size of a circle it follows that a radian is a dimensionless quantity

Length of an arc of a circle θ = =arc lengthlAngle (in radians)

r radiusRelation between radian and degree πc = 180deg

In hand working tips

bull The unit radian is denoted by c (circular measure) and it is customary to omit this symbol c Thus

when an angle is denoted as 2π

it means that the angle is 2π

radians where p is the number with approximate value 314159

bull D G R

180 200= =

deg π where D G and R denotes degree grades and radians respectively

bull The angle between two consecutive digits in a clock is 30deg (p6 rad) The hour hand rotates through an angle of 30deg in one hour

bull The minute hand rotate through an angle of 6deg in one minute

93 POlygON AND ITs PROPeRTIes

A closed figure surrounded by n straight lines is called a polygon It is classified in two ways bull A closed figure surrounded by n straight lines bull If all sides of a polygon are equal then it is regular polygon bull Convex Polygon A polygon in which all the internal angles are smaller than 180deg bull Concave Polygon A polygon in which at least one internal angles is larger

than 180deg

Properties bull An angle is called reflexive angle if it is greater than or equal to 180deg or p radians bull Sum of all internal angles of a convex polygon = (n ndash 2) pc = (n ndash 2) 180deg

bull Each internal angle of regular polygon of n sides = (n 2)

Consider an angle q = angXOA as shown in figure P be any point other than O on its terminal side OA and let PM be perpendicular from P on x-axis Let length OP = r OM = x and MP = y We take the length OP = r always positive while x and y can be positive or negative depending upon the position of the terminal side OA of angXOA

In the right-angled triangle OMP we have Base = OM = x perpendicular = PM = y and Hypotenuse = OP = r

941 Signs of Trigonometric Ratios

Consider a unit circle with centre at origin of the coordinate axes Let P(a b) be any point on the circle with angle AOP = x radian ie length of arc AP = x as shown in the following figure

We defined cos x = a and sin x = b Since DOMP is a right triangle we have OM2 + MP2 = OP2 or

a2 + b2 = 1Thus for every point on the unit circle we have a2 + b2 = 1 or cos2x + sin2x = 1 Accordingly we can

judge the sign of a trigonometric function by comparing it with the sign of respective coordinates in that particular quadrant

Here we discuss problems related to the solution of two equations satisfied simultaneously We may divide the problems into two categories as shown by the following diagram

When number of equations is more than or equal to number of variables

Trigonometric Equation 10107

∎ Single variable problems with intermediate values

Step 1 Find the values of variable x satisfying both equations

Step 2 Find common period of function used in both the equation say T and obtain x = α isin(0 T] sat-isfying both the equations

Step 3 Generalizing the value of α we get x = nT + α

∎ Single variable problem with extreme values

Step 1 When LHS and RHS of a equation have their ranges say R1 and R2 in common domain and R1 cap R2 = f then the equations have no solution

Step 2 If R1 cap R2 have finitely many elements and the number of elements are few then individual cases can be analyzed and solved

Step 3 Generalizing the value of α we get x = nT + α

1091 More Than One Variable Problems

bull Substitute one variable (say y) in terms of other variable x ie eliminate y and solve as the trigonometric equations in one variables

bull Extract the linearalgebraic simultaneous equations from the given trigonometric equations and solve as simultaneous algebric equations

bull Many times you may need to make appropriate substitutions bull When number of variables is more than number of equations To solve an equation involving more than one variable definite solutions can be obtained if extreme

values (range) of the functions are used

10911 Some important results

1 While solving a trigonometric equation squaring the equations at any step should be avoided as far as possible If squaring is necessary check the solution for extraneous values

2 Never cancel terms containing unknown terms on the two sides which are in product It may cause loss of the genuine solution

3 The answer should not contain any such values of angles which make any of the terms undefined or infinite

4 Domain should not change If it changes necessary corrections must be made 5 Check that denominator is not zero at any stage while solving equations

To solve the equation when the terms on the two side (LHS and RHS) of the equation are of different nature eg trigonometric and algebraic we use inequality method Which is used to verify whether the given equation has any real solution or not In this method we follow the steps given below

10108 Mathematics at a Glance

Step I If given equation is f(x) = g(x) then let y = f(x) and y = g(x) ie break the equation in two parts

Step II Find the extreme values of both sides of equation giving range of values of y for both side If there is any value of y satisfying both the inequalities then there will be a real solution otherwise there will be no real solution

rArr ( k) satisfying both the curves y f(x) and y g(x)α = =

Solutions of equation f(x) ndash g(x) = 0 are abscissa (x-co-ordinate) of the point of intersection of the graph y = f(x) and y = g(x)

Algorithm To solve the equation f(x) ndash g(x) = 0 eg 10sinx ndash x = 0

Step 1 Write the equation f(x) = g(x) ie sinx = x10

Step 2 Draw the graph of y = f(x) and y = g(x) on same x ndash y plane

Let f(x) = sinx and g(x) = x

also we know that -1 le sinx le 1

Step 3 Count the number of the points of intersection If graphs of y = f(x) and y = g(x) cuts at one two three no points then number of solutions are one two three zero respectively

From the given graph we can conclude that f(x) = sinx and g(x) = x

Case 2 When two sides and the included angle of the triangle are given Let b c and A be given then lsquoarsquo can be found from the formula a2 = b2 + c2 ndash 2bc cos A

Now angle B can be found from the formulae 2 2 2c a bcosB

C = 180deg ndash A ndash B

Another way to solve such triangle is first to find B C2minus by using the formulae

and therefore by addition and subtraction B and C and the third side lsquoarsquo by

cosine formula a2 = b2 + c2 ndash 2bc cos A or bsin A

= or a = b cos C + c cos B

Case 3 When two angles and the included side of a triangle are givenLet angle B C and side a be given The angle A can be found fromA = 180deg - B - C and the sides b and c from sine rule

a b csin A sinB sinC

= = ie a sinBbsin A

Case 4 Ambiguous CaseWhen two sides (say) a and b and the angle (say) A opposite to one side a are given There are following three possibilities

11112 Mathematics at a Glance

(i) Either there is no such triangle (ii) One triangle (iii) Two triangles which have the same given elements

We have b asinB sin A

= rArr bsin AsinB

a= hellip (1)

Also c2 ndash 2 (b cos A) c + b2 ndash a2 = 0 (2)

gives 2 2 2c bcos A a b sin A= plusmn minus (3)Now the following cases may raise

(a) When a lt b sin A rArr sin B gt 1 form equation (1) or from equation (3) c is imaginary which is impossible Hence no triangle is possible

(b) When b sin A = a rArr from equation (1) sin B = 1 rArr B = 90deg and from equation (3) c = b cos A This value of c is admissible only when b cos A is positive ie when the angle A is acute In such a

case a lt b (b sin A = a) or A lt B Hence only one definite triangle is possible

Note

In this case a = b is not possible since A = B = 90deg which is not possible Since no triangle can have two right angles

(c) When b sin A lt a and sin B lt 1 from (4) In this case there are three possibilities (i) If a = b then A = B and from equation (3) we get c = 2b cos A or 0 Hence in this case we get

only one triangle (since in this case it is must that A and B are acute angles) (ii) If a lt b then A lt B Therefore A must be an acute angle b cos A gt 0 Further a2 lt b2 rArr a2 lt b2 (cos2 A + sin2 A)

rArr 2 2 2a b sin A bcos Aminus lt From equation (3) it is clear that both values of c are positive so we get two triangles such that

and 2 22c bcos A a b sin A= minus minus

It is also clear from equation (1) that there are two values of B which are supplementary

(iii) If a gt b then A gt B also a2 - b2 sin2 A gt b2 cos2 A or 2 2 2a b sin A bcos Aminus gt

Hence one value of c is positive and other is negative for any value of angle A Therefore we get only one solution Since for given values of a b and A there is a doubt or ambiguity in the determination of the triangle Hence this case is called ambiguous case of the solution of triangles

Properties of Triangles 11113

(a) If a lt b sin A ie a lt CD then the circle will not meet AX and hence there is no triangle satisfying the given condition

(b) If a = b sin A the circle will touch AX at D (or B) and only one right angled triangle is possible In this case B = 90deg and A lt 90deg

(c) If a = b (angA ne 90deg) then the circle will cut AX at B and passes through A Hence here we get only one solution of given data (as shown in the figure)

(d) If a gt b sin A then the circle will cut AX at two distinct points (other than A) Let the point be B1 and B2Sub-case 1 If b sin A lt a lt b then both B1 and B2 are on the same side of A as shown in the figure and we get two distinct triangles ACB1 and ACB2

The circumcircle of pedal triangle for any DABC is called a nine-point circle

1181 Properties of Nine-point Circle

1 If passes through nine points of triangle L M N (feet of altitudes) D E F (mid points of sides) and midpoints of HA HB HC where H is orthocentre of triangle ABC

2 Its centre is called nine-points centre (N) It is the circumcentre of a pedal triangle

3 Its radius is 91 2

Let ABC be a triangle and I be the centre of incircle Let IA IB IC be the centres of the escribed circles which are opposite to A B and C respectively then IA IB IC is called the ex-central triangle of D ABC By geometry IC bisects the angle ACB and IBC bisects the angle ACM

ang ICIB = angACI + angACIB = 12

ang ACB + 12

ang ACM = 12

ang (180deg) = 90deg

Similarly ang ICIA = 90deg

11118 Mathematics at a Glance

Hence IA IB is a straight line perpendicular to IC Similarly AI is perpendicular to the straight line IBIC and BI is perpendicular to the straight line IA IC

Also since IA and IAA both bisect the angle BAC hence A I and IA are collinear Similarly BIIB and CIIC are straight lines

Hence IA IB IC is a triangle thus the triangle ABC is the pedal triangle of its ex-central triangle IA IB IC The angles IBIA and ICIA are right angles hence the points B I C IA are concyclic Similarly C I A IB and the points A I B IC are concyclic

The lines AIA BIB CIC meet at the incentre I which is therefore the orthocentre of the ex-central triangle IA IB IC

Remarks

1 Each of the four points I IA IB IC is the orthocente of the triangle formed by joining the other three points

2 The circumcentre the centroid the centre of the nine point circle and the orthocentre all lie on a straight line

If a function is one-to-one and onto from A to B then function g which associates each element y isin B to one and only one element x isin A such that y = f(x) hArr x = g(y) then g is called the inverse function of f denoted by g = fndash1 [Read as f inverse] Thus if f A rarr B then g B rarr A

1211 Inverse Trigonometric Functions

The equation sin x = y and x = sinndash1 y are not identical because the former associates many values of x of a single value of y while the latter associates a single x to a particular value of y To assign a unique angle to a particular value of trigonometric ratio we introduce a term called principle range

We list below the domain (values of x) and principle ranges (values of y) of all the inverse trigonometric functions and their graph

The path traced by a moving point P(x y) is called locus of P The equation of locus is a relation in the variable x and y which is satisfied by the coordinates of the moving point P(which moves under given geometrical restriction) at any position on its path

That is if f(x y) = 0 is satisfied by (a b) forall (a b) lying on the path then its called equation of locus

Method to Find Equation of Locus

Step I Let coordinate of point P be (h k) and apply the condition given to express h and k as a function of some parameter (q a b t l etc )

Step II Eliminate the parameters to relate h and k

Step III In the equation between h and k therefore obtained replace h by x and k by y to get equation of locus

141 Definition

A straight line is a curve such that every point on the line segment joining any two points lie on it or in other words straight line is the locus of a point which moves such that the slope of line segment joining any two of its position remains constant

1411 Equation of Straight Line

A relation between x and y which is satisfied by coordinates of every point lying on a line is called the equation of straight line Every first degree equation in x y ie ax + by + c = 0 represents a line Thus a line which is also defined as the locus of a point satisfying the condition ax + by + c = 0 where a b c are constant

∎ Equation of straight line parallel to axes (i) Equation of a straight line which is parallel to x-axis and at a distance b units from it is given by

y = b b gt or lt 0 according as it is in positive or negative side

equation of x-axis is y = 0 (ii) Similarly for any line parallel to the y axis and at a distance a unit from it is given by x = a

a gt or a lt 0 according as the line lies on positive or negative sides of the x-axis ∎ The combined equation of the coordinate axis is xy = 0

General Equation of Circle x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 contains three unknown parameters (effective) Therefore three conditions are necessary in order to determine a circle uniquely and if only two conditions are given then the obtained equation contains a parameter and it is described as family of circle

Following are the ways of expressing some known family of circles

157 radical axes and radical centre

Radical axis of S = 0 and Sprime = 0 is the locus of the point from which the tangents drawn to the two circles are of equal lengths Its equation is given by S ndash Sprime = 0 ( only if coefficients of x2 y2 in both circles are same)

Remarks

(i) If the circles S = 0 and Sprime= 0 intersect each other then their common chord and their radical axis coincide Thus they have the same eqn S ndash Sprime = 0

(ii) If two circles touch each other then their radical axis coincides with their common tangent at their point of contact The equation is again S ndashSprime= 0

bullRadical Centre The common point of intersection of the radical axes of three circles taken two at a time is called the radical centre of the three circles

Tips and Tricks

1 If two circles do not intersect (c1c2 gt r1 + r2) then they have two transverse and two direct common tangents

2 If two circles intersect (c1c2 lt r1 + r2) then they have two direct tangents only

3 If two circles touch externally (c1c2 = r1 + r2) then they have one transverse and two direct common tangents

4 If two circles touch internally (c1c2 = r1 ndash r2) then they have only one common tangent

5 If the point P lies outside the circle then the polar and the chord of contact of this point P are same straight line

6 If the point P lies on the circle then the polar and the tangent to the circle at P are same straight line

7 The coordinates of the pole of the line lx + my + n = 0 with respect to the circel x2 + y2 = a2 are

8 If (x1 y1) is the pole of the line lx + my + n = 0 wrt the circle x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy +c = then where r is the radius of the circle

Chapter 16parabola

161 IntroductIon to conIc SectIonS

A conic section or conic is the locus of a point which moves in a plane so that its distance from a fixed point is in a constant ratio to its perpendicular distance from a fixed straight line Conic sections are section obtained when a pair of two vertical cones with same vertex are intersected by a plane in various orientation The point V is called vertex and the line L1 is Axis

The rotating line L2 is called as generator of the cone the vertex separates the cone into two parts known as nappes

Nature of conic sections depends on the position of the intersecting plane with respect to the cone and the angle f made by it with the vertical axis of the cone

Circle When f = 90deg the section is a circle

Ellipse When q ltflt 90deg the section is an ellipse

Parabola If plane is parallel to a generator of the cone (ie when f = q) then section is a parabola

Parabola 16163

Hyperbola When 0 le f lt q the plane cuts through both the nappes and the curves of intersection is hyperbola

Degenerated Conics

When the plane cuts at the vertex of the cone we have the different cases

When q lt f le 90deg then the section is a point

When 0 le f lt q then the section is a pair of intersecting straight lines It is the degenerated case of a hyperbola

Whenf= q then the plane contains a generator of the cone and the section is a coincident straight line

1611 Definition of Various Terms Related to Conics

Focus The fixed point is called the focus of the conic section

Eccentricity The constant ratio (e) is called the eccentricity of the conic section

Directrix The fixed straight line is called the directrix

Axis The straight line passing through the focus and perpendicular to the directrix is called the axis of the conic section

Vertex The point of intersection of conic and the axis are called vertices of conic section

Centre The point which bisects every chord of the conic passing through it is called centre of the conic

Double Ordinate A chord perpendicular to the axis is called double ordinate (normal chord) of the conic section The double ordinate passing through the focus is called the latus rectum

In general four normals can be drawn to an ellipse from any point and if a b d g are the eccentric angles of these four co-normal points then a + b + d + g is an odd multiple of p

In general there are four concyclic points on an ellipse and if a b d g are the eccentric angles of these four points then a + b + d + g is an even multiple of p

If conjugate diameters are perpendicular to each other then ellipse becomes a circle The eccentric angles of the ends of a pair of conjugate diameters of an ellipse differ by a right angle The sum of squares of any two conjugate semi-diameters of an ellipse is constant and is equal to sum

of the squares of the semi-axes of the ellipse The product of the focal distances of a point on an ellipse is equal to the square of the semi-diameter

which is conjugate to the diameter through the point The tangents at the extremities of a pair of conjugate diameters form a parallelogram whose area is

constant and is equal to the area of rectangle formed by major and minor axis lengths

Both the asymptotes are pair of tangents to a hyperbola from its centre Axis of Hyperbola bisects the angle between asymptotes

If lines be drawn through A Aprime parallel to C axis and through B Bprime parallel to T axis then asymptotes lie along the diagonal of rectangle thus formed

Combined equation of asymptotes (A = 0) differs from equation of hyperbola (H = 0) and conjugate hyperbola (C = 0) by same constant ie A = H + l and A = C ndash l

Chapter 19Complex Number

191 IntroductIon

While working with real numbers (ℝ) we would not find relations to equations such as x2 + 9 = 0 () So to look forward we have to difine another set of number systems

1911 Imaginary Numbers (Non-real Numbers)

A number whose square is non-positive is termed as an imaginary number eg 2 or (1 2)minus + minus

Iota Euler introduced the symbol i for the number 1minus It is known as iota (a Greek word for

lsquoimaginaryrsquo) Thus 2 2iminus = and + minus = +1 2 1 2i are imaginary numbers

Remark (i) Imaginary numbers do not follow the property of order ie for z1 and z2 imaginary numbers we

cannot say which one is greater Since i is neither positive nor negative nor zero

(ii) Here non-possible does not imply negative eg 1 2+ minus is also non-positive

1912 Purely Imaginary Numbers (I)

The number z whose square is non positive real number (negative or zero) is termed as purely imaginary

number For example 5minus ie I = z z = ai where a isin ℝ and i =

19121 Geometrical representation of purely imaginary numbers

Single multiplication by i is equivalent to geometrical rotation of number by p2 radians anti-clockwise

Therefore purely imaginary numbers are represented as points lying on y axis of argand plane For example z = ai is represented by point (0 a) on y axis as shown here

19190 Mathematics at a Glance

Remarks 1 The plane formed by real and imaginary axes is called ArgandGaussianComplex Plane

2 It should be kept in mind that any equation not having real roots does not necessarily posses imaginary roots For example the equation x + 5 = x + 7 is neither satisfied by real numbers nor is satisfied by imaginary numbers

non-negative real number ie both a and b are non-negative

192 complex number

A number z resulting as a sum of a purely real number x and a purely imaginary number iy is called a

complex number ie a number of the form z = x + iy where x y isin ℝ and = minusi 1 is called a complex number Here x is called real part and y is called imaginary part of the complex number and they are expressed as Re(z) = x Im (z) = y A complex z = x + iy number may also be defined as an ordered pair of real numbers and may be denoted by the symbol (x y)

The set of complex numbers is denoted by ℂ and is given by = z z = x + iy where x y isin ℝ and = minusi 1

193 ArgAnd plAne

Any complex number z = a + ib can be written as an ordered pair (a b) which can be represented on a plane by the point P(a b) (known as affix of point P) as shown in the figure This plane is called Argand plane complex plane or the Gaussian plane

1931 Representation of Complex Numbers

Complex numbers can be represented by following forms 1 Cartesian form (rectangular form) A complex number z = x + iy can be represented by the

point P having coordinate (x y) 2 Vector form (Algebraic form) Every complex number z is regarded as a position vec-

tor

(OP) which is sum of two position vectors Purely real vector x

(OA) and purely imaginary

vector iy

(OB)

= + = +

OP OA AP OA OB rArr z = x + iy

Modulus of z Distance of point P from the origin is called modulus of complex number z and is denoted by |z| It is length of vector

(OP) It is distance of P(z) from origin

Argument of z Argument of z is the angle made by

OP with the positive direction of real axis Also known as amplitude z and is denoted by amp (z)

Arg(z) = q where θ =ytanx

q lies in the quadrant in

which complex number z lies

NoteThe principal arguments q isin (ndashp p]

3 Polar form (amplitude modulus form) In DOAP OP = |z| = r rArr OA = x = r cosq and AP = y = r sinq rArr z = x + iy = r (cosq + i sinq) = r cisq

Remarkcis q is unimodular complex number and acts as unit vector in the direction of q where q is arg z

4 Euler form (Exponential form) Euler represented complex number z as an exponential function of its argument q (radians) and described here As we know that using Taylorrsquos series expansion cos q and sinq can be expanded in terms of polynomial in q as given below

Advantages of using Euler form Convenient for division and multiplication of complex numbers Suitable for exponential logarithmic and irrational functions involving complex numbers

19311 Inter-conversion from polartrigonometric to algebraic form

(i) Algebraic form to polar form Given z = x + iy then

= +2 2r x y θ = θ =x ycos sinr r

gives q = f (say)

In polar form = + φ+ φ2 2z x y (cos isin )

(ii) Polar form to algebraic form Given z = r(cosq + isinq) = rcosq + i(rsinq)

rArr z = x + iy where x = rcosq and y = rsinq

1932 Properties of Complex Numbers

(i) Equality Two complex numbers z1 and z2 are equal only when their real and imaginary parts are respectively equal ie Re(z1) = Re(z2) and I(z1) = I(z2) or |z1| = |z2| and arg (z1) = arg (z2)

19192 Mathematics at a Glance

RemarksStudents must note that x y isin ℝ and x y ne 0 If x + y = 0 rArr x = ndash y is correct but x + iy = 0 rArr x = ndash iy is incorrect (unless both x and y are zero)

Hence a real number cannot be equal to the imaginary number unless both are zero

(ii) Inequality Inequality in complex number is not defined because lsquoirsquo is neither positive zero nor negative So 4 + 3i gt 1 + 2i or i lt 0 or i gt 0 is meaningless

(iii) If Re(z) = 0 then z is purely imaginary and if Im (z) = 0 then z is purely real (iv) z = 0 rArr Re(z) = Im (z) = 0 therefore the complex number 0 is purely real and purely imaginary or both (v) If z = x + iy then iz = ndashy + ix rArr Re(iz) = ndash Im(z) and Im(iz) = Re(z) (vi) Conjugate of complex number z = x + i y is denoted

as z = (x ndash iy) ie a complex number with same real part as of z and negative imaginary part as that of z

(vii) If z is purely real positive rArr Arg(z) = 0 (viii) If z is purely real negative rArr Arg(z) = p (ix) If z is purely imaginary with positive imaginary part

rArr Arg(z) = p2 (x) If z is purely imaginary with negative imaginary part

rArr Arg(z) = ndashp2 (xi) Arg(0) is not defined

19321 Binary operations defined on set of complex numbers

Binary operation on set of complex number is a function from set of complex numbers to itself That is if z1 z2 isin C and is a binary operation on the set of complex numbers then z1 z2 isin C Following binary operations are defined on set of complex numbers

Addition of two complex numbers Let z1 = x1 + iy1 and z2 = x2 + iy2 rArr z1 + z2 = (x1 + iy1) + (x2 + iy2)= (x1 + x2) + i (y1 + y2) ie z1 + z2 = [R(z1) + R(z2)] + i[I(z1) + I(z2)] isin C

19322 Geometric representation

Now |z1 z2zn| = r1r2rn = |z1| | z2 ||zn| and arg (z1 z2zn) = q1 + q2 + + qn = arg z1 + arg z2 + + arg zn

Method of Solving Complecs EquationsLet the given equation be f(z) = g(z) To solve this equation we have the following four methods

Method 1 Put z = x + iy in the given equation and equate the real and imaginary parts of both sides and solve to find x and y hence z = x + iy

Method 2 Put z = r(cosq + isinq) and equate the real and imaginary parts of both sides solve to get r and q hence z

Method 3 Take conjugate of both sides of given equations Thus we get two equations f(z) = g(z) (1) and =f(z) g(z) (2)

Adding and Subtracting the above two equations we get two new equations solving then we get z

Method 4 Geometrical Solution From the given equation we follow the geometry of complex number z and find its locus

Any line segment joining the complex numbers z1 and z2 (directed towards z2) represents a complex number given by z2 ndash z1 Since every complex number has magnitude and direction therefore z2 ndash z1 also

|z2 ndash z1| represents the length of line segment BA ie the distance between z1 and z2 and arg(z2 ndash z1) represents the angle which line segment AB (on producing) makes with positive direction of real axis

(ii) Set Builder Method Under this method set may be represented with the help of certain property or properties possessed by all the elements of that set

A = x | P(x) or A = x P(x) This signifies A is the set of element x such that x has the property P For example the set

A = 1 2 3 4 5 can be written as A = x | x isin N and x le 5

207 CARDINAL NuMbeR OF A SetS

Cardinal number of a set X is the number of distinct elements in a set and it is denoted by n(X) For example for X = x1 x2 x3 n (X) = 3

Some Important Remarks

Equivalent Sets Two finite sets A and B are equivalent if their cardinal numbers are same That is n (A) = n (B)

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 That is A = B if A and B are equal and A ne B if they are not equal

Every finite set is countable but every countable set is not necessarily finite

Infinite sets may or may not be countable

Uncountable sets are always infinite

Every subset of a countable set is countable

Every superset of an uncountable set is also uncountable

Intersection of countable sets is always countable

Countable union of countable sets is always countable

A set A is said to be a subset of B if all the elements of A are present in B and is denoted by A sube B (read as A is subset of B) and symbolically written as x isin A rArr x isin B hArr A sube B

2010 NuMbeR OF SubSetS

Consider a set X containing n elements as x1 x2 xn then the total number of subsets of X = 2n

Proof Number of subsets of the above set is equal to the number of selections of elements taking any number of them at a time out of the total n elements and it is equal to 2n Q

nC0 + nC1 + nC2++ nCn = 2n

2011 tyPeS OF SubSetS

(i) Proper Subset A non-empty set A is said to be a proper subset of a set B if every element of A is an element

of B and B has at least one element which is not an element of A and is denoted by A sub B (ii) Improper Subset The set A itself and the empty set is known as improper subset For example if X = x1 x2 xn

then total number of proper sub-sets = 2n - 2 (excluding itself and the null set) The statement A sube B can be written as B supe A then B is called the super set of A

2012 POweR SetS

The collection of all subsets of set A is called the power set of A and is denoted by P(A) ie P(A) =

X X is a subset of A If A = x1 x2 x3 xn then n(P(A)) = 2n n(P(P(A)) = 22n

Thus X isin P(A) hArr X sube A ie the elements of P(A) are the subset of A

2013 DISjOINt SetS

A times B ie A times B = (a b) a isin A and b isin B If set A = a1 a2 a3 and B = b1 b2 thenA times B = (a1 b1) (a1 b2) (a2 b1) (a2 b2) (a3 b1) (a3 b2) andB times A = (b1 a1) (b1 a2) (b1 a3) (b2 a1) (b2 a2) (b2 a3)Clearly A times B ne B times A until A and B are equal

Remarks

1 Since A times B has elements as ordered pairs therefore it can be geometrically located on X ndash Y plane by considering set A on X-axis and set B on Y-axis

2 Cartesian product of n sets A1 A2 A3An is denoted by A1 x A2 x A3 x x An and is the set of n ordered tuples ie A1 x A2 x A3 x x An = (a1 a2 a3 an) ai isin Ai i = 1 2 3 n Cartesian product of n sets represents n-dimensional space

3 A times B times C and (A times B) times C are not same

A times B times C = (a b c) a isin A b isin B c isin C whereas

(A times B) times C = (a b c) a isin A b isin B c isin C

20232 Number of Elements in Cartesian Product A times B

If number of elements in A denoted by n(A) = m and number of elements in B denoted by n(B) = n then number of elements in (A times B) = m times n ie n(A times B) = n(A) times n(B)

Since A times B contains all such ordered pairs of the type (a b) such that a isin A and b isin B that means it includes all possibilities in which the elements of set A can be related with the elements of set B Therefore A times B contains n(A) times n(B) number of elements

20233 Properties and Laws of Cartesian Product

of sets A B and C

Sets and Relation 20219

(b) Cartesian product distributes over subtraction of sets That is A times (B ndash C) = (A times B) ndash (A times C) 2 Cartesian Product is not Associative Cartesian product of sets is not associative in nature

That is A times (B x C) ne (A times B) times C As the elements of A times (B times C) are of the type (a (b c)) whereas the elements of (A times B) times C are of

the type ((a b) c) a isin A b isin B c isin C 3 Cartesian Product is not Commutative Cartesian product of sets is not commutative in nature That is A times B ne B times A until A = B 4 Cardinality of Cartesian Product (a) If A and B are two sets then n(A times B) = n(A) times n(B) (b) If A and B are sets having k number of common elements ie n(A cap B) = k then the number

of elements common to A times B and B times A = k2 5 Intersection of cross product is equal to cross product of intersection That is for sets A B S and T (A times B) cap (S times T) = (A cap S) times (B cap T) 6 For subset A of B and C of D We have (a) (A times C) sube (B cap C) for every set C (b) (A times C) sube (B cap D) (c) (A times A) sube (A times B) cap (B times A) 7 For complementary sets B and C of sets B and C (a) A times (B cup C) = (A times B) cap (A times C) (b) A times (B cap C) = (A times B) cup (A times C) 8 A times (B D C) = (A times B) D (A times C)

2024 ReLAtIONS

A relation R from set X to Y (R X rarr Y) is a correspondence between set X to set Y by which none one or more elements of X are associated with none one or more elements of Y Therefore a relation (or binary relation) R from a non-empty set X to another non-empty set Y is a subset of X times Y That is R X rarr Y is nothing but subset of A times B For example consider set X and Y as set of all males and females members of a royal family of the Ayodhya kingdom

2025 DOMAIN CO-DOMAIN AND RANge OF ReLAtION

Domain Domain of a relation R from set A to set B is the collection of elements of set A which are participating in the correspondence ie it is set of all pre-images under the relation R For example domain of R = (1 5) (2 10) (3 6) is

DR = 1 2 3 where R is a relation from set A = 1 2 3 4 to set B = 5 6 7 8 9 10

Co-domain Co-domain of a relation R from set A to set B is set B itself irrespective of the fact whether an element of set B is related with any element of A or not For example B =5 6 7 8 9 10 is co-domain of above relation R

Range Range of a relation R from set A to set B is the set of those elements of set B which are participating in the correspondence ie set of all images under the relation R For the above relation range is given by the set RR = 5610

2026 uNIVeRSAL ReLAtION FROM Set A tO Set b

Since A times B contains all possible ordered pairs which relate each element of A to every element of B therefore (A times B) is largest possible relation defined from set A to set B and hence also known as Universal relation from A to B

2027 NuMbeR OF ReLAtIONS FROM Set A tO Set b

Since each relation from A to B is a subset of Cartesian product A times B therefore number of relations that can be defined from set A to set B is equal to the number of subsets of A times B Thus the number of relations from A to B = 2n(A times B) = 2n(A) x n(B)

2028 ReLAtION ON A Set

A relation R from set A to itself is called relation on set AFor example let A = 1234916 Define a relation from set A to itself as a R b if b is square of a

but a ne b thenR = (2 4) (3 9)(4 16) Here domain = 2 3 4 co-domain = A range = 4 9 16

2030 CLASSIFICAtION OF ReLAtIONS

One-one or Injective Relation

If different elements of set X are related with different elements of set Y ie no two different elements of domain are related to same element of set Y then R is said to be one-one relation or injective relation from set X to set Y

Many-one Relation

When there exists at least one group having more than one element of set X which are related with same element of set Y then R is said to be many one relation from set X to set Y

One-many Relation

Relation R from set X to set Y is said to be one-many if there exists an element in set X which is related with more than one element of set Y

Many-many Relation

Relation R from set X to set Y is said to be many-many if it is many-one as well as one-many

Onto Relation (Surjective Relation)

A relation R X rarr Y is said to be onto or surjective relation if there is no such element y isin Y which is not related with any x isin X ie for each y isin Y there exist at least one element x in X which is related with y In such a relation

Range (RR) = co-domain ie range of onto relation is nothing but the co-domain of the relation

RemarkIn onto relation all elements of set X may or may not participate in relation but all elements of co-domain set Y participate in relation

2031 INtO ReLAtION

A relation R X rarr Y is said to be into iff there exist at least one y isin Y which is not related with any x isin X

Sets and Relation 20223

That is if range (RR) sub co-domain that is range of relation is a proper subset of co-domain

That is R6 (x1 y1) (x1 y2) (x2 y3)Clearly under relation R6 y4 has no pre-image in X

20311 One-One-Onto Relation (Bijective Relation)

A relation R X rarr Y is said to be bijective relation iff it is both onendashone as well as onto relation

For example R7 (x1 y2) (x2 y1) (x3 y3) where X = x1 x2 x3 x4 and Y = y1 y2 y3)

2032 tyPeS OF ReLAtIONS

20321 Reflexive Relation

R X rarr Y is said to be reflexive iff x R x x isin X That is every element of X must be related to itselfTherefore if for each x isin X (x x) isin R then relation R is called reflexive relation

RemarkIf R X rarr Y is a reflexive relation then its domain is X For example if R is a relation on set of integers (ℤ) defined by ldquoxRy iff x divides yrdquo then it is reflexive and hence its domain set is ℤ

20322 Identity RelationA relation R X rarr Y is said to be an identity relation if each element of X is related to itself only For example if X = x1 x2 x3 and Y = x1 x2 x3 x4 then the relation R = (x1 x1) (x2 x2) (x3 x3) is an identity relation from set X to set Y

Remarks 1 Every identity relation from set X to set Y is reflexive relation from set X to set Y but converse is

not true That is every reflexive relation need not be identity For example R X rarr Y where X = x1 x2 x3 and Y = x1 x2 x3 x4 then the relation R = (x1 x1) (x2 x2) (x3 x3) (x1 x2) is reflexive but not identity relation from set X to set Y because x1 R x1 as well as x1Rx2

2 If R is a relation from set X to itself then the relation is called relation on set X

(a) R is said to be reflexive on set X if xRx x isin X

(b) R is said to be identity relation on set X if x R x x isin X and x is not related to any other element and it is denoted by Ix

3 Symmetric Relation R X rarr Y is said to be symmetric iff (x y) isin R rArr (y x) isin R

That is x R y rArr y R x For example perpendicularity of lines in a plane is symmetric relation

20323 Transitive Relation

R X rarr Y is said to be transitive iff (x y) isin R and (y z) isin R rArr (x z) isin RThat is x R y and yR zrArr x R z For example the relation ldquobeing sister ofrdquo among the members of a family is always transitive

20224 Mathematics at a Glance

Notes (i) Every null relation is a transitive relation

(ii) Every singleton relation is a transitive relation

(iii) Universal and identity relations are reflexive as well as transitive

20324 Anti-symmetric RelationA relation R from set X to set Y is said to be an anti-symmetric relation iff (a b) isin R and (b a) isin R rArr a = b

That is for two different elements x isin X and y isin Y the relation R does not contain the ordered pairs (x y) and (y x) simultaneously

For example relations ldquobeing subset of rdquo ldquois greater than or equal tordquo and ldquoidentity relationrdquo are anti-symmetric relations

RemarkA relation R from set X to set Y may be both symmetric as well as anti-symmetric any one or not bothFor example let X = 1 2 3 4 and Y = 1 2 3 4 5 6

203241 Consider the relations

(i) R1 = (11) (22) (ii) R2 = (1 2) (2 1) (2 3) (3 2) (iii) R3 = (1 1) (2 2) (3 4) (iv) R4 = (1 2) (2 1) (3 4)

1 R1 is symmetric as whenever ordered pair (x y) isin R1 rArr (y x) isin R1Also R1 is anti-symmetric as for no two different elements x y the ordered pairs (x y) and (y x) occur in R1

2 R2 is symmetric but not anti-symmetric as (1 2) (2 3) isin R2 rArr (2 1) (3 2) isin R2 but 1 ne 2 and 2 ne 3 3 R3 is anti-symmetric but not symmetric as (3 4) isin R3 but (4 3) notin R3 4 R4 is neither symmetric nor anti-symmetric as (3 4) isin R3 but (4 3) notin R3 and (1 2) (2 1) both are

in R3 but 1 ne 2

20325 Equivalence RelationA relation R from a set X to set Y (R X rarr Y) is said to be an equivalence relation iff it is reflexive symmetric as well as transitive The equivalence relation is denoted by ~ For example relation ldquois equal tordquo Equality Similarity and congruency of triangles parallelism of lines are equivalence relations

2033 COMPOSItION OF ReLAtIONS

Let R and S be two relations from set A to B and B to C respectively Then we can define a relation SoR from A to C such that (a c) isin SoR hArr exist b isin B such that (a b) isin R and (b c) isin S

This relation is called the composition of R and S Diagrammatically it is shown in the following figure

Sets and Relation 20225

2034 INVeRSe OF A ReLAtION

Let A B be two sets and let R be a relation from a set A to B Then the inverse of R denoted by R-1 is a relation from B to A and is defined by R-1 = (b a) (a b)isinR Clearly (a b) isin R hArr (b a) isin R-1

Also Dom (R) = Range (R-1) and range (R) = Dom (R-1)For example let A = 1 2 3 4 and B = 2 3 4 5Define a relation R from A to B as xRy iff y = x + 1 then R = (1 2)

(2 3) (3 4) (4 5)rArr Rndash1 = (2 1) (3 2) (4 3) (5 4)Thus we can define Rndash1 a relation from B to A as xRy iff y = x ndash 1

The arrow diagram represents the relations R and Rndash1

Remark(SoR)ndash1 = Rndash1oSndash1 where R is a relation from A to B and S is a relation from B to C

Tips and Tricks

If number of elements in A n(A) = m and n(B) = n then number of elements in (A times B) = m times n A times B is termed as the largest possible relation defined from set A to set B it is also known as the

universal relation from A to B If A sube B then (A times B) cap (B times A) = A2 = A times A If A has m elements and B has n elements then number of relations that can be defined

from A to B = 2m times n If A is a set containing n elements then the number of relations that can be defined

on set ( )2nA 2=

If A and B are two non-empty sets having n elements in common then A times B and B times A have n2 elements in common

If A is related to B then symbolically it is written as (aRb) where a is pre-image and b is image If A is not related to B then symbolically it is written as a R b All identity relations are reflexive but all reflexive relations are not identity Every null relation is a transitive relation Every singleton relation is a transitive relation Universal and identity relations are reflexive as well as transitive Identity relation is symmetric as well as anti-symmetric or both Union of two reflexive (or symmetric) relations on a set A also reflexive (or symmetric) on set A Union of two transitive relations need not be transitive on set A Union of two equivalence relations need not be equivalence 1 If R and S are two equivalence relations on a set A then R cap S is also an equivalence

relation on A 2 The inverse of an equivalence relation is an equivalence relation 3 The set (a a)a isin A = D is called the diagonal line of A times A Then lsquothe relation R in a is

antisymmetric iff R cap Rndash1 sube D

Chapter 21FunCtions

211 Definition of function

Let X and Y be two non-empty sets Then a function lsquof rsquo from set X to set Y is denoted as f X rarr Y or y = f(x) x isin X and y isin Y A function f(x) from X (domain) to Y (co-domain) is defined as a relation f from set X to set Y such that each and every element of X is related with exactly one element of set Y

Image and Pre-image Let f be a function from set X to set Y ie f X rarr Y and let an element x of set X be associated to the element y of set Y through the rule lsquof rsquo then (x y) isin f ie f(x) = y then y is called lsquoimage of x under f rsquo and x is called lsquopre-image of y under f rsquo

Natural Domain The natural domain of a function is the largest set of real number inputs that give real number outputs of the function

Co-domain Set Y is called co-domain of function f

Range of Function If f Df (sube X) rarr Y is a function with domain Df then the set of images y (output isinY) generated corresponding to input x isin Df is called range of function and it is denoted by Rf

ie Rf = f(x) xisinDf sube Y

Remarks

(i) Every function is a relation but every relation read not be a function

(ii) A relation R A rarr B is a function if its domain = A and it is not one-many ie either one-one or many-many

Functions 21227

(iii) To find domain of function we need to know when does a function become undefined and when it is defined

ie we need to find those values of x where f(x) is finite and real and those values of x where f(x) is either infinite or imaginary

(iv) When its value tends to infinity (infin)

eg =minus2

1y

x 1 at x = plusmn1 f(x) is not defined at x = plusmn1 and defined forall x isin ℝ except for plusmn1 therefore

domain of f(x) = ℝ ~ 1 ndash1

(v) When it takes imaginary value eg = minusy x 1 at x isin (ndashinfin 1) f(x) is not defined on (ndashinfin 1) and

defined on [1 infin) therefore domain of f(x) = [1 infin)

(vi) When it takes indeterminate form ie becomes of the form infininfininfin infin minus infin

infin0 00

1 0 etc0

212 RepResentation of a function

A fanction can be represented analytcally as orduced pass parametrically wita arrow diagram praphibly

Remarks All function cannot be represented by all the above methods

(i) The Drichlet-Function which is defined as f(x) =

0 when x is rational

1 when x is irrational cannot be graphed since there exist

infinite number of rationals as well as irrationals between any two real numbers

(ii) Consider the Eulerrsquos totient or Eulerrsquos phi function f(n) = Number of positive integers less than or equal to n and co-prime to n where n is a natural number

The domain of f is the set of positive integers Its range is the set of positive integers 1 2 3 hellip

We cannot represent this function analytically A portion of the graph of f(n) as shown here for understanding of the function

(iii) Consider another function called prime number function defined by f(x) = number of prime numbers less than or equals to x where x is non-negative real number

Then domain of f(x) is (0 infin) and range is the set of non-negative integers ie 0 1 2 3 hellip

The graph of function is shown here

As x increases the function f(x) remains constant until x reaches a prime at which the graph of function jumps by 1Therefore the graph of f consists of horizontal line segments This is an example of a class of function called step functions

(iv) Another function which is so complicated that it is impossible to draw its graph

h(x) = minus

x if x is rational

x is irrationalif x2

As we know that between any two real numbers there lie infinitely many relations and irrational number so it is impossible to draw its graph

21531 Methods of testing a relation to be a function

Method 1 When the relation to be tested is represented analytically A relation f X rarr Y defined as y = f(x) will be function iff x1 = x2 rArr f(x1) = f(x2) since otherwise an element of X would have two different image

Method 2 When the relation to be tested is represented as a set of ordered pairs

A relation f X rarr Y represented as a set of ordered pairs will be function from X to Y iffSet of abscissa of all ordered pairs is equal to XNo two ordered pairs should have same abscissa

RemarkBecause f is a relation from X rarr Y therefore abscissa of ordered pairs must belong to X where as ordinates of ordered pairs must belong to Y

Method 3 When the relation to be tested is represented graphically relation f X rarr Y y = f(x) is function iff all the straight line x = a forall a isin X intersect the graph of function exactly once as shown below

A relation f X rarr Y will not be a function in following two conditions 1 If for some a isin X line x = a does not cut the curve y = f(x) eg in the graph of function shown below

the line x = a does not cut the graph of function and a isin X (Df) = [a b] ie no output for input x = a

rArr f(x) is not a function from X to Y 2 If for atleast one a isin X line x = a intersects y = f(x) more than once ie there exists an input having

more than one output say at (a y1) (a y2) and (a y3) rArr For input x = a f(x) has three outputs y1 y2 as well as y3 Hence f(x) is not function

21242 Mathematics at a Glance

Method 4 When the relation to be tested is represented diagrammatically A relation f X rarr Y is a function if no input has two or more outputs in Y and no x isin X is un-related

216 classification of functions

2161 One-one (Injective) Function

f X rarr Y is called injective when different elements in set X are related with different elements of set Y ie no two elements of domain have same image in co-domain In other words we can also say that no element of co-domain is related with two or more elements of domain

217 Many-one functions

f X rarr Y is many-one when there exist at least two elements in the domain set X which are related with same element of co-domain Y

2171 Onto (Surjective) FunctionA function f X rarr Y is called surjective only when each element in the co-domain is f-image of at least one element in the domain ie f X rarr Y is onto iff y isin Y there exists x isin X such that f(x) = y ie iff Rf = co-domain (Y)

Surjective f X rarr Y reduces the co-domain set to range of function

218 MethoD of testinG foR injectivity

(a) Analytical Method A function f X rarr Y is injective (one-one) iff whenever two images are equal then it means that they are outputs of same pre-image ie f(x1) = f(x2) hArr x1 = x2 forall x1 x2 isin X Or by using contra-positive of the above condition ie x1 ne x2 hArr f(x1) ne f(x2) forall x1 x2 isin X

Notes

1 If f (x) is not one-one then it is many-one function If we go according to definition consider f(x1) = f(x2) rArr x1 is not necessarily equal to x2

ie If two f-images are equal then their pre-images may or may not be equal

2 To test injectivity of f(x) consider f(x1) = f(x2) and solve the equation and get x2 in terms of x1 If x2 = x1 is only solution then function f is injective but if other real solutions also exist then f is many-one function

Functions 21243

(b) Graphical Method For one-one every line parallel to x-axis y = k isin Rf cuts the graph of function exactly once then the function is one-one or injective

For many-one If there exists a line parallel to x-axis which cuts the graph of function at least twice then the function is many one

(c) Method of Monotonicity for one-one If a function f(x) is continuous and monotonic

(f (x) ge 0 f (x) = 0 occures at isolated points) on an interval I then it is always one-one on interval I because any straight line parallel to x-axis y = k isin I intersects the graph of such functions exactly once

For many-one

(i) If a function is continuous and non-monotonic on interval I then it must be many-one on interval I

(ii) If a function is discontinuous and monotonic on interval I then it can be one-one or many-one on I as is clear from the figures given below

(iii) Even functions and periodic functions are always many-one in their natural domains whereas they are one-one in their principal domain They can be made one-one by restricting the domain

eg cosx is many one on ℝ but is one-one on [0 p] or 02π

Similarly fraction part function

x is periodic function with period 1 It is many one on ℝ but one-one on [n n + 1) for each integer n

(iv) If a function is discontinuous and non-monotonic on an interval I then it can be one-one or many one on I It can be understood well by the graph shown as follows

21244 Mathematics at a Glance

(v) All polynomials of even degree defined in ℝ have at least one local maxima or minima and hence

are many-one in the domain ℝ Polynomials of odd degree can be one-one or many-one in ℝ (d) Hit and trial method to test many-one functions It is possible to find an element in the range of function which is f image of two or more than two

elements in the domain of function

219 into (non-suRjective) function

While defining function we have mentioned that there may exist some element in the co-domain which are not related to any element in the co-domain

f X rarr Y is into iff there exists at least one y isin Y which is not related with any x isin X

Thus the range of the into function is proper subset of the co-domain ie range sub co-domain (properly)

2110 one-one onto function (Bijective function)

If a function is both one-one as well as onto then f(x) is set to be bijective function or simply bijection

2111 testinG of a function foR suRjective

Method 1 The equality of range of function to co-domain forms the condition to test surjectivity of function For instance to test surjectivity of f [0 infin) rarr [2 infin) such that f(x) = x2 + 2

Using the analytic formula we obtain the rule of function for argument x in terms of y as shown below

∵ y = x2 + 2 x2 = y ndash 2 ie |x| = y 2minus

rArr x y 2= minus ∵ x ge 0

Functions 21245

Now we check whether the expression of x in forms of y is valid for all elementary co-domain If it is so then f is surjective otherwise it is non-surjective

Thus x to be real and positive RHS ie y 2minus must be real and positive thus y isin [2 infin) Hence the given function f is onto

Method 2 Hit and Trial Method Sometimes we choose an element of co-domain which may not be an image of any element in domain and we test it for same If it comes out to be true then f is into function

RemarkIn order to convert a function from many-one to an injective function its domain must be transformed to principal domain In order to convert a function from into to onto the co-domain of function must be replaced by its range

Remarks 1 If n(X) lt n(Y) then after mapping different elements of X to different elements of Y we are left with

2115 conDition foR invisiBility of a function

For a function to be invertible it should be one-one and onto ie bijective function

21151 Method to Find Inverse of a Given FunctionStep 1 Check the injectivity (one-one) Take f(x1) = f(x2) and show that x1 = x2 or show that f is continuous and monotonic on its domain

Step 2 Surjectivity (onto) Find the Range of the function (Rf) and compare it with co-domain

If Rf = Co-domain then f is onto

Step 3 Using equation y = f(x) express x in terms of y hellip (1)

Step 4 Replace x by y and y by x in the obtained relation (1) to get y = fndash1(x)

RemarkSince to each (x y) isin f there exists (y x) isin fndash1 and (y x) and (x y) are mirror images of each other in the line y = x therefore the graph of f-1(x) is obtained by reflecting the graph of f(x) in the line y = x as shown below

y = x or y = ndashx + k for some real value of k (vi) f(x) and fndash1(x) have same monotonic nature ie either both increasing or

both decreasing (vii) If f(x) is increasing function then fndash1(x) is also an increasing function but

f(x) and fndash1(x) have opposite curvatures(viii) If f(x) is a decreasing function then fndash1(x) is also a decreasing function but

f(x) and fndash1(x) have same curvatures (ix) If the graph of a function f(x) is symmetric about the line y = x then f(x)

and fndash1(x) are equal functions ie f(x) will be self invertible function or (involution) (x) If f A rarr B is a bijection then fndash1 B rarr A is an inverse function of f then fndash1of = IA and fofndash1 = IB

4 The product of two or more even functions is an even function 5 The product of an odd and an even function is an odd function 6 The quotient of two even functions (or two odd functions) is an even function 7 The nature (odd or even) of product of odd functions depends upon the number of functions taken

Notes

1 Composition of a non-monotonic function g(x) over a periodic function f(x) having period T is always a periodic function with period T (But fundamental period may be less than T)

eg if g(x) = x2 and f(x)= cosx then gof(x) = cos2x is periodic with period 2p But its fundamental period is p

Rule 2 Domain f1 D ~x f(x) 0

f(x) = =

Rule 3 Domain (f(x) plusmn g(x)) = Df cap Dg

Rule 10 Methods to find Range of Functions Given a function f X rarr Y where y = f(x)

Method I

Step 1 Find domain of f(x) say a le x le b

Step 2 Express x in terms of y using equation of function ie x = fndash1 (y)

Step 3 Apply the domain restriction ie a le x le b rArr a le fndash1 (y) le b

Step 4 Find the set of all possible y satisfying above inequality

Method II

For composition of continuous functions

Step 1 Identify the function as composite function of constituent functions f g and h say f(x) = h(f(g(x)))

Step 2 Test the monotonicity of f and g and h say g(ndash(increasing)) f(darr (decreasing)) h(darr (decreasing))

Functions 21253

Step 3 Find domain of h(f(g(x))) say a le x le b

Step 4 ∵ a le x le b rArr Rf = [h(f(g(a))) h(f(g(b)))]

Rule 5 If domain is a set having only finite number of points then the range will be the set of corre-sponding values of f (x)

Rule 6 If domain of y = f (x) is R or Rndashsome finite points or an infinite interval then with the help of given relation express x in terms of y and from there find the values of y for which x is defined and belongs to the domain of the function f (x) The set of corresponding values of y constitute the range of function

Rule 7 If domain is not an infinite interval find the least and the greatest values of f (x) using monoto-nicity (This method is applicable only for continuous functions and is the most general method)

their respective domain then gof is also continuous in its domain Now if common domain of f(x) and gof(x) is [a b] or (a b) then range of f(x) is [f(a) f(b)] or (f(a) f(b)) which in turn is domain of g(x) Then range of fog(x) will be [g(f(a) g(f(b))] or (g(f(a) g(f(b)))

(ii) If f(x) and g(x) both are decreasing functions in their respective domain then gof is also a decreasing function Further if both f(x) and g(x) are continuous in their respective domain then gof is continuous and increasing function in its domain If common domain of f(x) and gof(x) is [a b] or (a b) then range of f(x) is [f(b) f(a)] or (f(b) f(a)) which in turn in domain of g(x) which is decreasing and continuous function Thus range of gof will be [g(f(a)) g(f(b))] or (g(f(a)) g(f(a)))

(iii) If f(x) and g(x) are functions of opposite monotonicity in their respective domain then gof is a decreasing function on its domain Further if f(x) and g(x) are continuous functions then gof is continuous and decreasing function If [a b] or (a b) is common domain of gof(x) and decreasing function f(x) (say) then range of f(x) is [f(b) f(a)] or (f(b) f(a)) which in turn in domain of g(x) g(x) being continuous and increasing (say) range of gof(x) will be [g(f(b)) g(f(a))] or (g(f(b)) g(f(a))) Same will be the range of gof(x) if f(x) is increasing and g(x) is decreasing

(iv) If f(x) is an increasing and continuous function in its domain and g(x) is non-monotonic having range [a b] or (a b) then the range of fog(x)) will be [f(a) f(b)] or (f(a) f(b)) Similarly if f(x) is decreasing and continuous function in its domain and g(x) is non-monotonic having range [a b] or (a b) then the range of fog(x) will be [f(b) f(a)] or (f(b) f(a))

(v) If f(x) is non-monotonic function and continuous in its domain and g(x) is any function (monotonic or non-monotonic) for which the composition function fog is defined then range of fog can be obtained by analyzing the behaviour of function f(x) on the range set of function g(x) ie by determining the intervals of monotonicity lub gub of f(x) in range set of g(x)

(vi) If f(x) is monotonic and continuous in its domain and g(x) is non-monotonic for which fog(x) is defined and range of g(x) is [a b] or (a b) then the range of fog(x) will be [f(a) f(b)] or (f(a) f(b)) if f(x) is increasing and it will be [f(b) f(a)] or (f(b) f(a)) if f(x) is decreasing

(vii) If f(x) and g(x) both are non-monotonic and continuous for which fog(x) is defined then the range of f(x) can be obtained by analyzing the behaviour of f(x) on the range set of g(x) ie by determining the intervals of monotonicity lub and glb of f(x) in the range set of g(x)

Limit

221 Limit of a function

Limit at x = a means value of function at x = a if the function is without any break and if it is not defined at x = ay then limit of function means to find the real number to which function tends when x tends to a independent of the way whether x approaches to a by taking smalles values then lsquoarsquo or greater then lsquoarsquo 1 meaning of a x is approaching nearer and nearer to lsquoarsquo (fixed real number) but x ne a 2 meaning of a+ x is approaching to lsquoarsquo by taking values greater than lsquoarsquo 3 meaning of andash x is approaching to lsquoarsquo by taking values less than lsquoarsquo

222 Limit of function f(x) at x = a

Is denoted by x 0lim f(x) l(say)rarr

= means ldquoas x tends to a f(x) tends to lrdquo ie the number lsquolrsquo is said to be limit

does not exist due to the following reason(s)

(i) If one of the two sided limits is finite and other is infinite (ii) If both sided limits are finite but unequal (iii) If both limits are infinite but of opposite signs (iv) If at least one of the two limits does not exist uniquely

Remarks (i) For the existence of limit function must be defined in at least one of the two deleted

neighbourhood of lsquoarsquo ie (a ndash d a) (left deleted neighbourhood of a) or (a a + d) (right deleted neighbourhood of a) In such cases limit is taken equal to one-sided limit for which x tends to a taking those values of x in deleted neighbourhood of a in which function is defined eg

(b) Let a function f(x) be continuous at all points in the interval [ab] and let its range be the interval [m M] and further the function g(x) be contininuous in the interval [m M] then the composite function (gof) (x) is continuous in the interval [a b]

(c) If the function f is continuous everywhere and the function g is continuous everywhere then the composition gof is continuous everywhere

(d) All polynomials trigonometric functions inverse trigonometric functions exponential and logarithmic functions are continuous at all points in their respective domains

(e) If f(x) is continuous at x = a then |f(x)| is also continuous at x = a

9 Sum of the two discontinuous functions may be continuous Example (i) f(andash) = l1 f(a+) = l2 l1 ne l2 and g(andash) = l2 g(a+) = l1 then (f + g)(andash) = (f + g)(a+) = (f + g)(a) = l1 + l2

(ii) f(x) = [x] + x = x is a continuous function where as [x] and x are discontinuous functions at integer points

possible only when the continuous function attains zero at that point 12 Quotient of a continuous and discontinuous function may be continuous may be discontinuous

A function f(x) is said to be continuous on a set A if f(x) is continuous at every point of set A If a function has discontinuity even at single point of set A then f(x) is said to be discontinuous on set A

Domain of continuity of function The set of all those points where the function f(x) is continuous is called Domain of continuity of function f(x) Every function is continuous on its domain of continuity

Continuity of a function on its domain A function f(x) is said to be continuous on its domain if it is continuous at every point of its domain

22182 Continuity in an Open Interval

A function f(x) is said to be continuous in (a b) when f(x) is continuous at each point c isin (a b) ie f(cndash) = f(c+) = f(c) forallc isin (a b)

221821 Method of testing of continuity in open interval

1 First of all make sure that every point of open interval is in the domain of given function ie each constituent function is defined at each point of open interval (a b) eg f(x) = x2 + sinx ndash tanx then x2 sinx tan x each is defined in open interval (0 1) but same function is not defined in open interval

(1 2) as tan x is not defined at π157

2 Thus f(x) cannot be continuous in open interval (1 2) due

to discontinuity at π

=x2

2 Use the knowledge of domain of continuity of standard constituent functions involved and

algebra of continuity eg if lt le

+ lt lt

x sin x 0 x 1f(x)

x 21 x 4

Now x and sin x have their domain of continuity ℝ and the product of two continuous functions at a point is also continuous at that point Thus x sin x is continuous in (0 1)

Also (x2 + 2) being a polynomial function is also continuous at each real number x2 + 2 is also continuous on (1 4)

3 Test the continuity of f(x) at suspicious points (ie points splitting the function into two different definitions) For example in above step (2) x = 1 is the suspesious point

2219 continuity of a function on a cLosEd intErvaL

A function f(x) is said to be continuous on closed interval [a b] if

(i) f(x) is continuous in (a b) (ii) f(x) is right continuous at x = a (iii) f(x) is left continuous at x = b

22266 Mathematics at a Glance

Thus f(x) is continuous on [a b] if

(i) f(cndash) = f(c+) = f(c) forall c isin (a b) (ii) f(a) = f(a+) (iii) f(bndash) = f(b)

P 3 Weierstrass Theorem (Extreme Value Theorem)If f is continuous on [a b] then f takes on a least value m and a greatest value M on this interval

P 4 Bolzanos TheoremIf f(a) and f(b) possesses opposite signs then $ at least one solution of the equation f(x) = 0 in the open interval (a b) provided that f is continuous in [a b]

P 5 A continuous functions whose domain is some closed interval must have its range also a closed interval

RemarkIf a function f(x) is continuous on an open interval (a b) or on real number line R and m and M are respectively the greatest lower bound and least upper bounds of f(x) then Range of f(x) = [m M] if f(x) attains m and M and it is (m M) if f(x) does not attain its bounds m or M are included in range if m or M are attained by the function

P 6 Continuity of inverse FunctionIf the function y = f(x) is defined continuous and strictly monotonic on the domain of function f(x) then there exists a single-valued inverse function x = f(y) defined continuous and also strictly monotonic in the range of the function y = f(x)

Since minusminus

converts to an instant and rarr

So differentiability physically signifies that no sudden change in the instantaneous rate of change at x = a

22212 Geometrical SignificanceDifferentiability of f(x) at x = a implies LHD = RHD This geometrically means that a unique tangent with finite slope can be drawn at x = a Therefore graph of f(x) must be smooth without any sharp edgecorner at x = a and tangent line at x = a is not vertical

1 From the graph theory or using standard functionrsquos domain of continuity find all those points where the function is discontinuous (say) x = x1 x2 x3 xn Then f(x) will be non-differentiable at these points

2 Find all those points where the function f(x) takes a sharp turn ie have kink points At these points function will be non-differentiable

3 Also find all those points where the function f(x) has vertical tangent At such points f(x) will be non-differentiable

4 Find all points where f(x) oscillates with infinite frequency At such points f(x) will be non-differentiable 5 The set ℝ except for the points of non-differentiability will be the domain of differentiability

of given function 6 If f(x) is a multi-formula function then remove the sign of equality at the points where the definition

238 iMPliCit differentiation

Implicit functions are those in which y cannot be expressed exclusively in terms of x ie if the relation between the variables x and y are given by an equation containing both and this equation is not immediately solvable for y then y is called an implicit function of x For example y2 + x2 + 2xy - 3x2y = 0 or x2 y = sinxy etc

2381 Procedure to Find dydx for Implicit Function

(a) To get dydx

differentiate entire function with respect to x treating y as a function of x

(b) Collect the coefficient of dydx

at one place and transfer the remaining terms to the right hand side

(c) Find dydx

in terms of x and y

is partial differential of a given function with

Rate of Change

If y = f (x) is a differentiable function of x then dydx

is called the instantaneous rate of change of y with

243 errors and approXIMatIons

Let a function y = f(x) be defined and if Dx be the error occurred while calculating x then we may also get an error in calculation of y ie f(x) The correct value of y should have been y = (x + Dx) But the value that we have obtained because of the error in calculation of x will be y = f(x) Therefore f(x + Dx) ndash f(x) will be the error in calculation of y and is denoted Dy

Application of Derivatives 24279

2431 Types of Errors 1 absolute errors It is the deviation of measured value of a physical quantity from its actual

value ie error = Dy = f(x + Dx) ndash f(x)

2 Relative errors It is the ratio of error to the total quantity measured eg yyδ where dy is absolute

error and y is actual value

3 Percentage errors It is given by relative error times 100 ie y 100yδ

times

4 Maximum probable error It is the error encountered in the final measured quantity assuming that all the errors occurring in the measurement of component quantities have same sign ie cumulative in nature eg if z = f(x) + f(y) then maximum probable error in z = |error in f(x)| + |error in f(y)|

The shortest distance between two non-intersecting curves is found along the common normal to the two curves In fact if the two curves also have the largest distance between them then it is also found along the common normal to the two curves This can be established with the help the concept of maximum minima

In the figure we notice that the shortest distance between the curves is AB and the largest distance between them is PQ both of which are found along a common normal Note that the common normal may be different in two cases

2415 doMaIn of MonotonIcIty of a functIon

(i) Set of points of domain of function in which the function is monotonically increasing is called domain of monotonic increasing (Interval of monotonic increasing if it is an interval)

(ii) Set of points of domain of function in which the function is monotonically decreasing is called domain of monotonic decreasing (Interval of monotonic decreasing if it is an interval)

2416 crItIcal poInt

The points at which f (x) = 0 or f (x) does not exist are called critical point The point where f (x) = 0 are called stationary points

Remarks

(i) At critical points function may change its monotonicity but it is not always the case

(ii) If x = a is a critical point of f(x) then it is also for the function g(x) = f(x) + k k = constant and x = a + k is critical point for g(x) = f(x + k)

(iii) For a function discontinuous at x = a derivative test does not work for such function monotonicity is tested by using the basic definition of monotonic function at a point

(iv) If a function is strictly monotonic then it may be discontinuous

Application of Derivatives 24285

(v) For a discontinuous function if f(x) gt 0 forall x isin Df then it is not necessary that function is increasing

(vi) If f(x) is discontinuous then f(x) lt 0 forall x isin Df ⇏ f(x) is decreasing

(vii) For a continuous function on ℝ if f(a) = 0 f(a) ne 0 or f(a) does not exist due to sharp point then x = a is a critical point

Case 1 If f (x) lt 0 forall x isin (ndashinfin a) and f(x) gt 0 forall x isin (a infin) then (ndashinfin a] is the interval of monotonic decreasing of f(x) and [a infin) is the interval of monotonic increasing of f(x)

Case 2 If f lsquo(x) gt 0 forall x isin (ndashinfin a) and f(x) lt 0 forall x isin (a infin) then (ndash infin a] is the interval of monotonic increasing of f(x) and [a infin) is the interval of monotonic decreasing of f(x)

(viii) If f (a) = 0 and f (a) = 0 then x = a is called point of inflexion and is not a critical point In such case monotonicity of f(x) in left neighbourhood (a ndash h a) and right neighbourhood (a + h a) remain same

(ix) If f(x) is a continuous function then its intervals of monotonicity can be obtained by first finding the critical point ie point where f (x) = 0 or f (x) does not exist (f (x) ne infin) and then analysing the behaviour of f (x) to be positive or negative in the neighbourhood of critical point

(x) If f(x) is continuous function and f(a) = plusmninfin then f(x) has same monotonicity in left and right neighbourhoods of x = a

If f(a ndashh) gt 0 and frsquo(a + h) gt 0 h rarr 0+ then f(x) is monotonically increasing at x = a and f(x) is strictly increasing in (a ndash h a + h) h rarr 0+

Simillary If frsquo(a ndashh) lt 0 and frsquo(a + h) lt 0 h rarr 0+ then f(x) is monotonically decreasing at x = a and f(x) is strictly decreasing in (a ndash h a + h) h rarr 0+

(xi) While presenting the answer for intervals of monotonic increasedecrease do not use union symbols without taking adequate care

∵ It may happen that f(x) decreases in two intervals but fail to behave so in their union

Consider f(x) = x2 endashx Here f(x) darr for (ndashinfin 0) and also for (2 infin)

But as is evident from the graph of the function x1 lt x2 rArr f(x) gt f(x2) but x2 lt x3 ⇏ f(x2) gt f(x3)

Rather x2 lt x3 rArr f(x2) lt f(x3)

f(x) is not decreasing on (ndashinfin 0) cup (2 infin)

(xii) (Although when f (x) is discontinuous then this may happen that if f(x) increases in [a b] and [c d] both so it is also increases in [a b] cup [c d]

For instance see the graph function y = f(x)

Here the function increases in the intervals (a b) (c d) and we may proceed to write that it in (a b) cup (c d)

∵ Here we have f(b) ge f(c)

2417 Intervals of MonotonIcIty for dIscontInuous functIon

1 If f(x) is uarr in [a b] decreases in [c d] again uarr in [d e] Then f(x) increases in [a b] cup [d e] is true iff maximum value forall x isin [a b] should be less than min value of f(x) forall x isin [d e] ie f(b) lt f(d)

For example consider f(x) as shown in the figure 2 If f(x) is uarr in [a b] in [c d] and again uarr in [d e] then f(x) is decreasing

in [a b] cup [d e] iff minimum value of f(x) forall x isin [a b] is less then the maximum value of f(x) forall x isin [d e] ie f(b) gt f(d)

2420 hyper crItIcal poInt

A hyper critical point or cirtical point of second kind or second order critical point are those values x for which f (x) = 0 or f (x) does not exist

2421 poInts of InfleXIon

The point of inflexion is a point which separates the convex portion of the curve from its concave portion

Remarks 1 At the point of inflexion tangent (if exist) cuts the curve

2 Continuous function lsquof rsquo need not have an inflection point at all the points satisfying f(x) = 0 If f(x) = x4 we have f(0) = 0 but the graph of f is always concave up and hence there is no point of inflection

Let us take the function y = x5 ndash 5x4 Here y = 20x2 (x ndash 3)

Now y= 0 for x = ndash3 the second derivative changes sign and thus x = 3 is a point of inflection But when x passes through the point x = 0 the second derivative retains constant sign and therefore the origin is not a point of inflection (since the graph of the given function is concave up on both sides of the origin)

3 If x = c is a point of inflection of a curve y = f(x) and at this point there exists the second derivative f(c) then f(c) is necessarily equal to zero (f(c) = 0)

4 The point (1 0) in y = (x ndash 1)3 being both a critical point and a point of inflection is a point of horizontal inflection (Q the tangent at (1 0) on y is parallel to x-axis)

5 If a function f is such that the derivative f is continuous at x = c and f(c) = 0 while f(c) ne 0 then the curve y = f(x) has a point of inflection for x = c

Application of Derivatives 24289

6 It should be noted that a point separating a concave up arc of a curve from a concave down arc may be such that the tangent at that point is perpendicular to the x-axis ie vertical tangent or such that the tangent does not exist

This can be demonstrated easily by the behavior of the graph of the

function = 3 x in the vicinity of the origin In such a case we speak of a point of inflection with vertical tangent

7 A number c such that f(c) is not defined and the concavity of f changes at c will correspond to an inflection point if and only if f(c) is defined In other words for a point lsquocrsquo to be a point of inflection f(x) must be defined at x = c even if f(x) is not defined at x = c

If f(x) is a polynomial function then as we already know that all polynomial functions are continuous and differentiable in their domain thereby the following deduction can be made

1 If all the roots of f(x) = 0 are real then all the roots of f (x) = 0 are also real and the roots of f (x) = 0 separate the roots of f(x) = 0

Here a b c d e are the 5 roots of f(x) = 0 and a b g d are the 4 roots of f (x) = 0 2 If f(x) is of degree lsquonrsquo then f (x) is of degree lsquon ndash 1rsquo and a root of f (x) = 0 exists in each of them n ndash 1

Remarks

The term lsquoextremumrsquo or lsquoextremalrsquo or lsquoturning valuersquo is used both for maximumminimum value

The above definition is applicable to all functions continuous or discontinuous differentiable or non-differentiable at x = a

If the graph of a function f attains a local maximum at the point (a f(a)) then x = a is called the point of local maximum and f(a) is called the local maximum value A similar terminology is used for local minimum

A function can have several local maximum and minimum values

If a function is strictly increasing or strictly decreasing at an interior point x = a it cannot have an extremum at x = a and vice versa

A local maximum (local minimum) value of a function may not be the greatest (least) value in a finite interval A local minimum value may be greater than a local maximum value

For a continuous function there must exist one local minima between any two local maxima and vice-versa

However this may or may not be the case for discontinuous functions

Step i Find the derivative of the function and find the root of fprime(x) = 0 (Say x = x0 x1 x2 hellip)

Step ii Now find fprimeprime(x) at x = x0 then the following cases may arise If f primeprime(x0)lt 0 then f (x) is maximum at x = x0 If f primeprime(x0) gt 0 then f (x) is minimum at x = x0 If f primeprime(x0) = 0 then the second derivative test fails to conclude

Step iii Now find f primeprimeprime(x) at x = x0 and the following two cases may arise If f primeprimeprime(x0) ne 0 then f (x) has neither maximum nor minimum (inflexion point) at x = x0 But if f primeprimeprime(x0) = 0 then go for the next higher derivative test

Step iV Find fiv (x0) and analyzing the following cases If fiv (x0) = 0 then similar analysis of higher derivative continues If fiv (x0) = positive then f (x) is minimum at x = x0 If fiv (x0) = negative then f (x) is maximum at x = x0

In general let f prime(x0) = fprimeprime(x0) = = f(nndash1)(x0) = 0 f(n)(x0) ne 0 If n is odd then there is neither maximum nor minimum at x = x0 and if n is even then f (n)(x0) gt 0rArr min at x0 and f (n) (x0) lt 0 rArr max at x0

2441 MaXIMuM and MInIMuM for dIscrete valued functIons

discrete values function A real valued function whose domain is a finite or countable set is called discrete valued function Since the function can give exactly one image of every point of domain the range of discrete-valued functions is also finite or countable

For example f(x) = n2 n isin ℕ is a discrete function with domain ℕ set of natural numbers and range = n2 n isin ℕ = 1 4 9 16hellip

For such function f (x) is evaluated and we find the intervals of monotonic increasing and monotonic decreasing ie intervals for which f (n) gt 0 and f (n) lt 0 Let they be [n1 n2] and [n3 n4] Then we observed f(n1) f(n2) f(n3) f(n4) and max f(n2) f(n3) gives us maximum value of function and minf(n1) f(n4) gives us the minimum value of function If n ( = 1 2 3 4) is not in the domain of function then the real number in the domain nearest to n serves the purpose but it should be in the same interval of monotonicity in which n lies

eg let f(x) = 2

n (n )n 90

then f (x) gt 0 for x (0 90)isin and f (x) lt 0 for x ( 90 )isin infin

rArr f(n) has greatest value at n 90 948=

but x isin IrArr f(x) has its greatest value either at x = 9 or at n = 10 Now f(9) = 119 and f(10) = 119 Thus f(9) = f(10) = 119 is the greatest term

Chapter 25IndefInIte IntegratIon

251 INTRODUCTION

Integration is the inverse process of differentiation Instead of differentiating a function we are given the derivative of a function and asked to find its primitive ie the original function Such a process is called integration or anti-differentiation

2511 Anti-derivative of a Function

A function F(x) is called an anti-derivative of the function f(x) on the interval I say [x1 x2] iff at all the points of the interval I Fprime(x) = f(x) if x is terminal point of the interval ie x1 or x2 then Fprime(x) shall be only one-sided derivative eg Fprime(x1

+) at x1 and Fprime(x2ndash) at x = x2 Thus if f(x) is derivative

of F(x) then F(x) is an aniderivative of f(x) In fact F(x) + C C = arbitraly constant is the set of all antiderivatives of f(x)

2512 Notation of Anti-derivatives or Indefinite Integral

If Fprime(x) = f(x) forall x isin I (closed interval) then = +int f(x)dx F(x) C (anti-derivative of f(x)) where C is arbitrary constant called constant of integration

Remarks

(i) Anti-derivatives of a function f(x) if exist then they are infinitely many If F(x) is one of the anti-derivative then F(x) + C C = arbitrary constant is the set of all antiderivates

(ii) Any two anti-derivaties of a fanction differ by a constant

(iii) For anti-derivative of a function f(x) to exist over an interval [x1 x2] it is necessary that the function is continuous in that interval

(iv) Geometrically an indefinite integral int f ( x )dx is a family of curves y = F(x) + C each of whose

members is obtained by translating any one of the curves parallel to itself vertically upwards or downwards (that is along the y-axis)

Step II Consider any points (a b) not lying on the curve preferably (0 0) or point on coordinate axis and determine the sign of f(a b)

Step III If f(a b) gt 0 then f(x y) gt 0 represents the region containing (a b) If f(a b) lt 0 then the region which does not contains point (a b) will be represented by inequality f(x y) gt 0

Note that the region represented by inequality f(x y) gt 0 or f(x y) lt 0 does not contain the points on the curve whereas the region represented by inequality f(x y) ge 0 and f(x y) le 0 contains the points on the curve

2722 Order and Degree of Differential Equation

27221 Order

It is the order of the highest order derivative appearing in the differential equation The order of differential equation states about the number of times the family of curve has been differentiated in order to eliminate all its parameters to form the given differential equation Therefore the order of differential equation is same as the number of effective arbitrary constants present in the family of curves from which the differential equation is derived

Example 2dyx x y sin x log xdx

27222 Degree

Degree of differential equation is the degree ie power of the highest order derivative present in the differential equation after the equation is made free from all radicals and fractions as far as derivatives are concerned and is written in terms of a polynomial in all differential coefficients (ie derivative involved in differential equation

To get the degree of the differential equation we first try to convert it into the following form

If the dependent variables and all its derivatives present occur in the first degree only that is neither the product of dependent variables nor product of derivative nor product of derivative and dependent vari-ables are present in the differential equation

2741 Formation of Family of Curves

We know that differential equations are used to represent a family of curves Family of curves is defined as a set of infinite curves having some common characteristics and atleast one variable characteristic which is represented by unknown parameter involved in the equation of family of curves (ie atleast one parameter) By assigning different values to these parameters (arbitrary constants) different members of the family of curves can be obtained

Differential Equation 27339

27411 Single parameter family

The family of curves having only one arbitrary constant eg y = mx + 2 family of lines passing through y = 2 x2 + y2 = k2 family of concentric circles y2 = kx family of parabolas y = x + k set of parallel lines

27412 Double parameter familyThese are the equations having two parameters so called family of family of curves

eg y = mx + c denoting family of family of lines in xy planeeg two families of the above family of family of lines are shown in the figure y = x + k when m = 1 y = mx + 2 when c = 2Similarly other two parameter family of curves are (x ndash h)2 + y2 = r2 (circles) y = A sin x + B cos x

y = Ax2 + Bx etc

2742 Formation of Differential EquationThe differential equation of the family of curves f(x y C1 C2 C3Cn = 0) with parameters C1 C2 C3Cn can be found by differentiating it n-times and eliminating the n-parameters by using above (n + 1) equations (One given equation and n other equation obtained by differentiating it n-times)

RemarksIt is evident that a differential equation of the nth order cannot have more than n arbitrary constants in its solution for if it had say (n + 1) on eliminating them there would appear not an equation of the nth order but one of the (n + 1)th order Finally the differential equation corresponding to a family of curves is obtained by using the following steps

(a) Identify the number of essential arbitrary constants (say n) in the equation of the curve

(b) Differentiate the equation n times

(c) Eliminate the arbitrary constants from the equation of curve and n additional equations obtained in step (b)

275 solutIon of dIfferentIal equatIon

Solving a differential equation is an inverse process of forming differential equation of a family of curves by integrating the given differential equation to obtain a general relation between the independent and de-pendent variables Therefore the solutionintegralprimitive of a differential equation is a family of curves is satisfying the differential equation in the domain of differential equation

Example y = sin x + c is solution of differential equation dy = cos x dx

2761 General SolutionA family of curves (ie relation in variables x and y) satisfying the given differential equation which contains exactly as many effective arbitrary constants as the order of differential equation is known as general solution or complete integral or complete primitives Let the equation involving the variables x y and n independent arbitrary constants be f(x y C1 C2 Cn) = 0 (i)

Then (i) is called the general solution of (ii)

Notes

(i) The general solution of an ordinary differential equation of nth order contains n independent parameters (essential arbitrary constant) which means the general solution of an ordinary differential equation of order one contains one arbitrary parameter and of second order contains two independent parameters and so on

Differential Equation 27341

(ii) The general solution of a differential equation contains exactly as many essential parameters as the degree of equation While counting the parameters in the general solution it must be seen that they are essential and are not equivalent to a lesser number of parameters The parameters in the solution of a differential equation are said to be essential if it is impossible to deduce from the solution an equivalent relation containing lesser number of parameters

27611 Particular solution

A solution obtained from the general solution by giving particular values to the arbitrary constants eg y = sinx + 1 is one particular solution of equation dy ndash cos x dx = 0

27612 Cauchyrsquos initial value problem

The problem of determining the particular solution of equation dy F(x y)dx

= (1) satisfying the

condition y(x0) = y0 (2) where x0 y0 are given numbers is referred to as Cauchyrsquos initial value problem Condition (2) is called the initial condition (boundary condition) The particular integral of equation (1) satisfying the initial condition (2) is called the solution of Cauchy problem

27613 Singular solutions

General solution of differential equations may not include all possible solutions consequently the differential equation may also possess other solutions than the general solution The solution which cannot be obtained by giving any value to arbitrary constants present in the general solution are termed as singular solution

In order to realize the existence of singular solution consider an example of family of circles (x ndash h)2 + y2 = a2 where h is parameter and a is fixed constant

It is the general solution of differential equation 2 2

dy a 1dx y

Clearly y = plusmna also satisfies the above

differential equation but it can never be obtained by providing any real value for the parameter h from the general solution Therefore y = plusmna is indeed the singular solution of the above differential equation

Step I Rearrange the expression to express it in the form f(x)dx = g(y)dy

Step II Integrating both sides we get f(x)dx g(y)dy=int int Say F(x) G(y) be some anti-derivatives of

f(x) and g(y) respectively we get G(y) = F(x) + CStep III Solving the equation G(y) = F(x) + C for y we express the general solution as y = H(x C)

27131 Orthogonal Trajectory of a Given Curve

271311 Trajectory

A curve of family or curves f(x y c) = 0 which cuts every member of a given family of curves f (x y c) = 0 according to a fixed rule is called a trajector of the family of curves

If we consider only the trajectories cutting each member of fam-ily of curves f (x y c) = 0 at a constant angle then the curve which cuts every member of a given family of curves at right angle is called an orthogonal trajectory of the family

In order to find out the orthogonal trajectories the following steps are taken

Step 1 Let f(x y c) = 0 be the equation where c is an arbitrary parameter

Step 2 Differentiate the given equation wrt x and eliminate c

A property of phenomenon body or substance which has magnitude that can be expressed as a number and a reference

Type of Physical Quantities

Directed Line Segment A line segment drawn in a given direction is called a directed line segment

A directed line segment has the following three properties

Length OA ie length of line segment OA

Supportline of supportline of action The line of which OA is a line segment

Sense The sense of directed line segment is from O to A

Representation of a vector A vector is represented by a directed line segment OA where O is called initial point and A is called terminal point of vector Length of the line segment OA is called magnitude of vector and an arrow gives the direction of a vectorThe above vector is expressed as

OA

Notation of a vector A vector is denoted by small letters of the English alphabet under an arrow For example above

OA can be denoted by a ie =

OA a a or simply lsquoarsquo represents the magnitude of

vector called modulus of vectors

2811 Equality of Two VectorsTwo vectors are said to be equal if and only if they have (a) equal magnitudes (ie same length) (b) same direction (ie same or parallel support their lines of action may be different)

28352 Mathematics at a Glance

(c) same sense

Triangle law of vector addition If two vectors are represented by two adjacent sides of a triangle taken in the same order then the closing side of the triangle taken in the opposite order represents the sum of the first two vectors

28111 Parallelogram law of vector addition

If two vectors are represented by the two adjacent sides of a parallelogram both in magnitude and direction then their resultant will be given by the diagonal through the intersection of these sides (in both senses ie magnitude and direction)

Remarks

(i) Number of line segments obtained by joining two of n points (no three lying on a line) = nc2

(ii) Maximum number of vectors obtained by joining two of the n-points (no three lying on a line) = 2 times nc2

(iii) Number of diagonal obtained by joining two of n-vertices of an n-sided convex polygon = (nc2 ndash n)

(iv) Maximum number of diagonal vectors obtained by joining two on n-vertices of n-sided convex polygon = 2(nc2 ndash n)

Free Vectors A vector a which can be represented by

any one of the two directed line segments

AB and

PQ whose lengths are equal and are in the same direction is known as a free vector Such vectors have freedom to have their initial point any where

Localized Vector If a vector is restricted to pass through a specified point (ie a fixed point) then it is called localized vector An example of a localized vector is a force as its effect depends on the point of its application Co-terminus vectors position vectors etc are examples of localized vectors

Co-initial Vectors Vectors having same initial point (say origin) are called co-initial vectors If vectors in plane (or shape) are free vectors then they can be shifted parallely and can be converted to co-initial vectors having their initial points at origin

Clearly section formula is applicable iff points P Q R lie on a straight line Thus from this fact we

have necessary and sufficient condition for three different point P Q R with position vector a b and c

to be collinear (ie lying on a straight line) there exist non-zero scalers l + m + n = 0

28358 Mathematics at a Glance

then a b c

lie

on same plane confining the line passing through points PQR and the origin Thus if any three co-terminus (Co-initial vector) or free vectors are non-coplanar(ie do not lie on same or parallel plane) then terminal point of none of three vectors can divide the line segment joining the terminal point of other two vectors Also it three co-terminus vectors having non parallel line or action are coplanar but there terminal points are non-collinear even then none of the terminal point of three vectors can divide the line segment joining the terminal points of other two vectors

Thus four section formula to be valid four point P Q and R with position vectors a b and c

the position

vector a b c

must be coplanar and PQR must be collinear However if PQR are collinear then

a b c

will be coplanar Thus for section formula to be applied for three different points PQR

collinearity of points PQR is necessary and sufficient condition However coplanarity of a b c

is

necessary condition but not sufficient a b c

are coplanar and point PQR are collinear

2861 Collinearity of the Points Point lying on same line are called collinear Two points are always collinear Thus necessary and sufficient condition for three different points A B and C to be collinear is that there exist three non-zero scalars x y z such that + + =

that there exist three scalars x y z not all zeros (at most one scalar can be zero) such that + + + =

291 IntroductIon

Since all points in a 3D space do not lie in a plane therefore to locate these points two co-ordinates are not sufficient Therefore to locate a point in a three-dimensional space we need three co-ordinates corresponding to three mutually perpendicular co-ordinate axes

These three co-ordinate axes divide the entire space into 8 parts each known as octant as shown here in the figure

Three-Dimensional Geometry 29367

(ii) Rotation of axes (keeping the origin fixed)If the axes are rotated by an angle q keeping the origin fixed then the co-ordinates of point P wrt new co-ordinates system are given by X = xcosq + y sinq Y = ndashxsinq + ycosq It can be remember by the following box

Also x = Xcosq ndash Ysinq y = Xsinq + Ycosq

Chapter 30probability

301 ExpErimEnts

An experiment is a set of processes which are carried out under stipulated conditions to study the phenomenon associated with it It is defined as below

ldquoA mathematical operation which results in some well-defined outcomes is known as experimentrdquo Broadly there can be two types of experiments These are as follows (a) Random experiments Prediction of any specific outcome is impossible before completion of

experiments For example tossing of a coin throwing of a die etc (b) Non-random experiments Prediction of some of the outcomes can be made before performing

the experiments For example ratio of hydrogen and oxygen in a molecule of H2O throwing of a two-dimentioal die etc

Sample Space

Set(S) of all possible outcomes of random experiments For example S = 1 2 3 4 5 6 for die and S = HT for tossing a coin

Infinite Sample Space

Sample space having infinite number of elements These are of two types (a) Discrete Sample Space Having elements which can be put into a set with onendashone

correspondence with the set of natural numbers (ie sample space is countability infinite) For example tossing of a coin till a head appears S = HTHTTHTTTHhellip

(b) Continuous Sample Space Sample space is an interval or union of interval for example lifetime of a computer hard-disk manufactured by HCL has sample space S =[0 infin)

NoteThe problems related with continuous sample space are generally solved using geometrical equivalent of sample space and event space and they will be dealt in our coming article under the heading Geometrical Probability

3011 EventA subset of sample space For example E1 = 2 4 6 is the event of getting even numbers in the experi-ments of throwing of a die where S = 1 2 3 4 5 6 Clearly E1 sube S

Probability 30383

Single Event An event having single point

Compound Event An event having more than one point

Impossible Event An event having elements outside the sample space or which is emptyFor example event of getting 7 while throwing a die

Possible Event An event having elements from the sample space

Sure or Certain Event An event which is equal to the sample space

Mutually Exclusive EventsA set of events is said to be mutually exclusive if occurrence of one of them precludes the occurrence of any of the remaining events If a set of events E1 E2 En are mutually exclusive events ie Ei cap Ej = f for all i j = 1 2 n and i ne j then P(E1 cup E2 cup cup En) = P(E1) + P(E2) + P(E3) + + P(En)

3012 Exhaustive EventsA set of events is said to be exhaustive if the performance of the experiment results in the occurrence of at least one of them Therefore if a set of events E1 E2 En are exhaustive events then

P(E1 cup E2 cup cup En) = 1 =

=

n

ii 1

E S

Two events A and B are said to be mutually exhaustive if P(A cup B) = 1 ie A cup B = S

3013 Equally Likely EventsThe given events say E1 E2 En are said to be equally likely if all the factors are taken into consideration we have no reason to believe that anyone of these factors has better chances of occurrence than the other That is P (E1) = P(E2) = = P(En)

3014 Disjoint Events

Events E1 and E2 are said to be disjoint when they have no common elements That is E1 cap E 2 = f

Complementary Event Of E is Ec = (S ndash E)

3015 Independent and Dependent Events

Two events are said to be dependent if the occurence or non-occurrence of one does decides and disturbs the occurrence or non-occurrence of the other For example in the withdrawl of cards from a deck of cards without replacement the outcomes will be dependent events but if the withdrawl is done with replacement the outcomes will be independent If a set of events E1 E2 En are independent Events then P(E1 cap E2 cap E3 cap cap En) = P(E1) P(E2) P (En)

3016 Mutually Exclusive and Exhaustive EventsA set of events is said to be mutually exclusive as well as exhaustive if the conditions as given below are satisfied

Ei cap Ej = f V i j such that i ne j and E1 cup E2 cupcup En = Sfor mutually exclusive and exhaustive events E1 E2 EnProbability of occurrence of atleast one of them

= P(E1 cup E2 cup cup En) = P(E1) + P(E2) + + P(En) = 1

30384 Mathematics at a Glance

Trials Experiments performed repeatedly are known as trialsProbability of occurrence of an eventIf an event can happen in x ways and fail to happen in y ways and each of these ways is equally likely

then the probability or the chance of its occurrence will be +x

x y and that of its non-occurrence

will be +y

x y

Mathematical and Classical Definition of Probability

For an experiment with continuous finite sample space S the probability of occurrence of an event E is

denoted by P(E) and it is defined as n(E) number of elements in EP(E)n(S) number of elementsinspace S

= =

= number of outcomes favourable to E in sample space S

total number of outcomes (elements) in S

For example in the experiment of throwing a dice the probability of getting 2 as an outcome is 16

30161 Properties of probability of event

1 The probability P(E) of occurrence of any event E lies between 0 and 1

2 Complementary event of E is denoted as Ec or Eprime or E which literally means non-occurrence of E Thus E occurs only when E does not occurs Therefore + =P(E) P(E) 1

3 If E is an impossible event then P(E) = 0 4 If E is a possible event then 0 lt P(E) lt 1 5 If E is a certain event then P(E) = 1

Remarks

1 A die is a solid cube with six faces and numbers 1 2 3 4 5 and 6 marked on the faces respectively In throwing or rolling a die any of the above numbers would shown on the uppermost face

2 A pack of cards consists of 52 cards in 4 suits ie (a) spades spades (b) Clubs clubs (c) Hearts hearts (d) diamonds diams Each suit consists of 13 cards Out of these spades and clubs are black faced cards while hearts and diamonds are red-faced cards The aces kings queens jack (or knave) are called face cards or honour cards king queen and jack are known as court cards

3 Game of Bridge It is played by 4 players each player is given 13 cards

4 Game of Whist It is played by two pairs of persons

30162 Statistical definition of probability

When a random experiment is repeated n times under similar conditions ie n trials are made and n is very large and an event E occurs r times out of the n trials then the probability of occurrence of the

event E is defined as rarrinfin

= n

30163 Odds in favour and odds against an event

If in an experiment the number of outcomes favourable to an event E is x and number of outcomes not favourable to event E is y then

(a) Odds in favour of = = =Enumber of outcomes favourable(n(E)) P(E) x

ynumber of outcomes unfavourable(n(E)) P(E)

(b) Odds against = = =Enumber of unfavourable outcomes (n(E)) yP(E)

Let E1 E2 E3 E4 be four events then (a) E1 cup E2 stands for occurrence of atleast one of E1 E2 (b) E1 cap E2 stands for simultaneous occurrence of E1 and E2

(c) Eprime or E or EC stands for non occurrence of event E

30168 Mutually independent eventsThree events E1 E2 E3 are said to be mutualy independent iff

P(E1 cap E2) = P(E1) P(E2) P(E1 cap E3) = P(E1) P(E3)P(E2 cap E3) = P(E2) P(E3) and P(E1 cap E2 cap E3) = P(E1) P(E2) P(E3)

These events would said to be pairwise independent whenP(E1 cap E2) = P(E1) P(E2) P(E2 cap E3) = P(E2) P(E3) and P(E1 cap E3) = P(E1) P(E3)Thus mutually independent events are always pairwise independent but the converse may not be true

1 We have already discussed that mutually exclusive set of events are strongly dependent because occurrence of one precludes the occurrence of the other

2 The concept of mutual exclusive is set theoretic in nature while the concept of dependenceindependence is probablistic in nature

It is a real-valued function having its domain as the sample space of a random experiment eg while tossing two coins if X denotes the number of heads then S = HH HT TH TT then X (HH) = 2 X(HT) = 1 X(TH) = 1 X(TT) = 0

RemarkMore than one random variables can be defined on same sample space For example in the above sample space if Y denotes the number of head minus number of tails then Y(HH) = 2 Y(HT) = 0 Y (TH) = 0 = Y(TT)= ndash2

Property 2 If all the elements of a rowcolumn are zero then the value of determinant will be zero

Property 3 Reduction and increase of order of determinant (a) If all the elements in a row (or a column) except one element are zeros the determinant reduces

to a determinant of an order less by one (b) A determinant can be replaced by a determinant of a higher order by one as per the requirment

31408 Mathematics at a Glance

Property 4 If any two rows or two columns of a determinant are interchanged the determinant retains its absolute value but changes its sign and symbolically the interchange of ith and jth rows or ith and jth columns is written as

i jR R∆ = minus∆ i jC C(or )minus∆

Property 5 The value of a determinant is zero if any two rows or columns are identical Symbolically it is written as DRi equiv Rj

= 0 or DCi equiv Cj = 0

Property 6 (a) If every element of a given row of matrix A is multiplied by a number l the matrix thus obtained has determinant equal to l (det A) As a consequence if every element in a row of a determinant has the same factor this can be factored out of the determinant Symbolically it is written as

i i1R Rm

mrarr

∆ = ∆

(b) If all the elements of a row (column) of a determinant are multiplied by a constant (k) then the determinant gets multiplied by that constant

Property 7 The value of the determinant corresponding to a triangular determinant is equal to product of its principal diagonal elements

Property 8 If any row or column of a determinant be passed over n rows or columns the resulting determinant will be (ndash1)n times the original determinantProperty 9 (a) If every element of a column or (row) is the sum (difference) of two terms then the determinant is equal to the sum (difference) of two determinants of same order one containing only the first term in place of each sum the other only the second term The remaining elements of both determinants are the same as in the given determinant (b) A determinant having two or more terms in the elements of a row (or column) can be written as the

sum of two or more determinantsProperty 10 The value D of a determinant A remains unchanged if all the elements of one row (column) are multiplied by a scalar and added or subtracted to the corresponding elements of another row (column) Symbolically it is written as

i i jR R mRrarr +∆ = ∆ (or j j iC C mCrarr +∆ ) and operation is also symbolically written as

Ri rarr Ri + mRj or Cj = Cj + mCi

Property 11 (a) The sum of the products of elements of a row (or column) with their corresponding co-factors is equal to the value of the determinant For example a11C11 + a12 C12 + a13 C13 = a21 C21 + a22 C22 + a23 C23 = D (b) Sum of the products of elements of any row (or column) with the co-factors of the corres sponding

elements of a parallel row (or column) is always zero For example a11 C21 + a12 C22 + a13C23 = 0Property 12 If the elements of a determinant D involve x ie the determinant is a polynomial in x and if it vanishes for x = a then (x ndash a) must be a factor of D In other words if two rows (or two column) become identical for x = a then (x ndash a) is a factor of D Generalizing this result we can say if r rows (or r columns) become identical when a is substituted for x then (x ndash a)r ndash 1 should be a factor of D

For example if 2

3

x 5 2x 9 4x 16 8

∆ = at x = 2 D = 0 (∵ C1 and C2 become identical at x = 2)

311063 Method to break a determinant as the product of two determinants

(a) Observe the diagonal symmetry of the elements and apply the following facts q The determinant of skew symmetric determinant with odd order always vanishes Therefore any

odd order skew symmetric determinant can be broken into product of two matrices of which atleast one is singular

q The determinant of skew symmetric determinant with even order is a perfect square Therefore an even ordered skew symmetric determinant can be written as a square of a determinant having symmetrical elements

(b) Observe the symmetry of the elements and make sure whether (i j)th element of the given determinant can be written as Ri Cj where Ri is the i th row of the first factor (determinant) and Cj is the jth column of the second factor (determinant)

(c) While applying the approach (b) it is advised to choose the (i j)th element to be diagonal elements

328 Mode

Mode is that value in a series which occurs most frequently In a frequency distribution mode is that vari-ate which has the maximum frequency

Statistics 32417

3281 Computation of Mode

(a) Mode of Individual Series In the case of individual series the value which is repeated maximum number of times is the mode of the series

(b) Mode of Discrete Series In the case of discrete frequency distribution mode is the value of the variate corresponding to the maximum frequency

Case (i) If a group has two or more scores with the same frequency and that frequency is the maximum positive distribution is bimodal or multimodal that is to say it has several modes eg 1 1 1 4 4 5 5 5 7 8 9 9 9 has modes 1 5 and 9

Case (ii) When the scores of a group all have the same frequency there is no mode eg 2 2 3 3 6 6 9 9 has no mode

Case (iii) If two adjacent values are the maximum frequency the average of two adjacent scores is

the mode 0 1 3 3 5 5 7 8 mode = +=

3 5 42

(c) Mode of Continuous Series Case 1 When classes have the same width Step 1 Find the modal class ie the class which has maximum frequency The modal class can be

determined either by inspection or with the help of grouping table Step 1 The mode is given by the formula

Mode = minus

329 Measures of dispersion

The degree to which numerical values in the set of values tend to spread about an average value is called the dispersion of variation The commonly used measures of dispersion are (a) Range (b) Quartile Deviation or Semi-inter-quartile Range (c) Mean Deviation (d) Standard Deviation
