37. The concept of the Cartesian coordinate system may seem simple, but it can be extended
and analyzed for much more complex functions. Now-a-days, these concepts are essential in
fields such as engineering, physics, architecture, astronomy, data processing, 3D modeling,
and computer graphics. 2D Cartesian plane concept can be extended to 3D space by adding
a third axis – the Z-axis. This third axis is mutually perpendicular to both the X and Y axes.
All three axes must share a common origin. Every point 3D space can then be represented
in terms of X, Y, and Z coordinates.
An architect by using this concept designed a hut on a catesian plane.

MAIN CONCEPTS a b q r
18 = 2 × 9 + 0
I. Euclid’s Division lemma 18 = 3 × 5 + 3
Given two positive integers a and b, there exist unique integers q 18 = 5 × 3 + 3
and r satisfying a = bq + r, 0 £ r < b. 18 = 7 × 2 + 4
18 = 11 × 1 + 7
Notice this. Each time ‘r’ is less than b. Each ‘q’ and ‘r’ is unique.
••
……•
…••
II. Application of lemma
Euclid’s Division lemma is used to find HCF of two positive integers. Example: Find HCF of 56
and 72?
Steps:
• Apply lemma to 56 and 72.
• Take bigger number and locate ‘b’ and ‘r’. 72 = 56 × 1 + 16
• Since 16 ¹ 0, consider 56 as the new 56 = 16 × 3 + 8
dividend and 16 as the new divisor.
• Again, 8 ¹ 0, consider 16 as new dividend 16 = 8 × 2 + 0
and 8 as new divisor.
Since remainder is zero, divisor (8) is HCF.
Although Euclid’s Division lemma is stated for only positive integers, it can be extended for
all integers except zero, i.e., b ¹ 0.

IV. Fundamental theorem of Arithmetic
Every composite number can be expressed as a product of primes, and this expression is unique,
apart from the order in which they appear.
Applications:
1. To locate HCF and LCM of two or more positive integers.
2. To prove irrationality of numbers.
3. To determine the nature of the decimal expansion of rational numbers.
1. Algorithm to locate HCF and LCM of two or more positive integers:
Step I: Factorize each of the given positive integers and express them as a product of
powers of primes in ascending order of magnitude of primes.
Step II: To find HCF, identify common prime factor and find the least powers and multiply
them to get HCF.
Step III: To find LCM, find the greatest exponent and then multiply them to get the LCM.
2. To prove Irrationality of numbers:
• The sum or difference of a rational and an irrational number is irrational.
• The product or quotient of a non-zero rational number and an irrational number is
irrational.
3. To determine the nature of the decimal expansion of rational numbers:
• Let x = p/q, p and q are co-primes, be a rational number whose decimal expansion
terminates. Then the prime factorization of ‘q’ is of the form 2m5n, m and n are non-
negative integers.
• Let x = p/q be a rational number such that

2 Polynomials
L E T’s R E C A L L
☞ “Polynomial” comes from the word ‘Poly’ (Meaning Many) and ‘nomial’ (in this case
meaning Terms)—so it means many terms.
☞ A polynomial is made up of terms that are only added, subtracted or multiplied.
☞ A quadratic polynomial in x with real coefficients is of the form ax2 + bx + c, where a, b, c are real
numbers with a ¹ 0.
☞ Degree—The highest exponent of the variable in the polynomial is called the degree of polynomial.
Example: 3x3 + 4, here degree = 3.
☞ Polynomials of degrees 1, 2 and 3 are called linear, quadratic and cubic polynomial respectively.
☞ A polynomial can have terms which have Constants like 3, –20, etc., Variables like x and y and
Exponents like 2 in y2.
☞ These can be combined using addition, subtraction and multiplication but NOT DIVISION.

☞ The zeroes of a polynomial p(x) are precisely the x-coordinates of the points, where the graph of y
= p(x) intersects the x-axis.
☞ If a and b are the zeroes of the quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c, then
−b −Coefficient of x
Sum of zeroes, α + β = a = Coefficient of x 2
c Constant term
Product of zeroes, αβ = a = Coefficient of x 2
☞ If a, b, g are the zeroes of the cubic polynomial ax3 + bx2 + cx + d = 0, then

−b −Coefficient of x 2
a + b + g= a =
Coefficient of x 3
c Coefficient of x
ab + bg + ga = a = Coefficient of x 3
−d −Constant term
and, abg = a = Coefficient of x 3
☞ Zeroes (a, b) follow the rules of algebraic indentities, i.e.,

(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab \ (a 2 + b2) = (a + b)2 – 2ab
☞ DIVISION ALGORITHM: If p(x) and g(x) are any two polynomials with g(x) ¹ 0, then
p(x) = g(x) × q(x) + r(x) Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
Remember this!
¨ If r (x) = 0, then g (x) is a factor of p (x).
¨ If r (x) ≠ 0, then we can subtract r (x) from p (x) and then the new
polynomial formed is a factor of g(x) and q(x).
3 Pair Of Linear Equations

In Two Variables
MAIN CONCEPTS
☞ For any linear equation, each solution (x, y) corresponds to a point on the line. General form is
given by ax + by + c = 0.
☞ The graph of a linear equation is a straight line.
☞ Two linear equations in the same two variables are called a pair of linear equations in two
variables. The most general form of a pair of linear equations is:
a1x + b1y + c1 = 0; a2x + b2y + c2 = 0
where a1, a2, b1, b2, c1, and c2 are real numbers, such that a12 + b12 ¹ 0, a22 + b22 ¹ 0.
☞ A pair of values of variables ‘x‘ and ‘y’ which satisfy both the equations in the given system of
equations is said to be a solution of the simultaneous pair of linear equations.
☞ A pair of linear equations in two variables can be represented and solved, by

(i) Graphical method (ii) Algebraic method
(i) Graphical method. The graph of a pair of linear equations in two variables is presented by
two lines.
(ii) Algebraic methods. Following are the methods for finding the solution (s) of a pair of linear
equations:
(i) Substitution method
(ii) Elimination method
(iii) Cross-multiplication method.
☞ There are several situations which can be mathematically represented by two equations that are
not linear to start with. But we allow them so that they are reduced to a pair of linear equations.
☞ Consistent system. A system of linear equations is said to be consistent if it has at least one
solution.
☞ Inconsistent system. A system of linear equations is said to be inconsistent if it has no solution.

L E T’s R E C A L L
☞ A quadratic polynomial of the form ax2 + bx + c, where a ¹ 0 and a, b, c are real numbers, is called
a quadratic equation
when ax2 + bx + c = 0.
Here a and b are the coefficients of x2 and x respectively and ‘c’ is a constant term.
☞ Any value is a solution of a quadratic equation if and only if it satisfies the quadratic equation.
☞ Quadratic formula: The roots, i.e., a and b of a quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0 are given
−b ± D 2
by or − b ± b − 4ac , provided b2 – 4ac ³ 0.
2a 2a

Here, the value b2 – 4ac is known as the discriminant and is generally denoted by D. ‘D’ helps us
to determine the nature of roots for a given quadratic equation. Thus D = b2 – 4ac.
The rules are:
• If D = 0 Þ The roots are Real and Equal.
• If D > 0 Þ The two roots are Real and Unequal.
• If D < 0 Þ No Real roots exist.
☞ If a and b are the roots of the quadratic equation, then Quadratic equation is
x2 – (a + b) x + ab = 0 Or x2 – (sum of roots) x + product of roots = 0

Example: 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, … is a sequence where each successive item is 2 greater than the preceding
term and 1, 4, 9, 16, 25, … is a sequence where each term is the square of successive natural
numbers.
☞ TERMS:
The various numbers occurring in a sequence are called ‘terms’. Since the order of a sequence is
fixed, therefore the terms are known by the position they occupy in the sequence.
Example: If the sequence is defined as
1 3 5 7 9 .. n
¯ ¯ ¯ ¯
First Second Third nth general
term (a1) term (a2) term (a3) term (an) or term
☞ ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION (A.P.):

An Arithmetic progression is a special case of a sequence, where the difference between a term and
its preceding term is always constant, known as common difference, i.e., d. The arithmetic
progression is abbreviated as A.P.
The general form of an A.P. is \ a, a + d, a + 2d,... For example, 7, 9, 11, 13.., Here the common
difference is 2. Hence it is an A.P.
☞ In an A.P. with first term a and common difference d, the nth term (or the general term) is given
by
an = a + (n – 1)d.
...where [a = first term, d = common difference, n = term number
Example: To find seventh term put n = 7 \ a7 = a + (7 – 1)d or a7 = a + 6d

☞ The sum of the first n terms of an A.P. is given by
n n
Sn = [2a + (n – 1)d] or [a + l]
2 2
where, l is the last term of the finite AP.
a+c
☞ If a, b, c are in A.P. then b = and b is called the arithmetic mean of a and c.

corresponding angles are equal and
lengths are proportional.

Two triangles are similar if either of the following three criterions are satisfied:

another triangle, then the two triangles are similar.
SSS Similarity Criterion. If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportional, then they
are similar.

☞ Position of a point P in the Cartesian plane with respect to co-ordinate axes is represented by the
ordered pair (x, y).

☞ The line X¢OX is called the X-axis and YOY¢is called the Y-axis.
☞ The part of intersection of the X-axis and Y-axis is called the origin
O and the co-ordinates of O are (0, 0).
☞ The perpendicular distance of a point P from the Y-axis is the ‘x’
co-ordinate and is called the abscissa.
☞ The perpendicular distance of a point P from the X-axis is the ‘y’
co-ordinate and is called the ordinate.
☞ Signs of abscissa and ordinate in different quadrants are as

given in the diagram:
☞ Any point on the X-axis is of the form (x, 0).

☞ Any point on the Y-axis is of the form (0, y).
☞ The distance between two points P(x1, y1) and Q (x2, y2) is given by
PQ = (x2 − x1 )2 + ( y 2 − y1 )2
Note. If O is the origin, the distance of a point P(x, y) from the origin O(0, 0) is given by

8 Introduction to Trigonometry
☞ Trigonometry is the science of relationships between the sides and angles of a right-angled
triangle.
☞ Trigonometric Ratios: Ratios of sides of right triangle are called trigonometric ratios.
Consider triangle ABC right-angled at B. These ratios are always defined with respect to acute
angle ‘A’ or angle ‘C’.
☞ If one of the trigonometric ratios of an acute angle is known, the remaining trigonometric ratios of
an angle can be easily determined.
☞ How to identify sides: Identify the angle with respect to which the t-ratios have to be calculated.
Sides are always labelled with respect to the ‘q
q’ being considered.
Let us look at both cases:
A A
q
Perpendicular
Adjacent side
Opposite side
H H
yp yp

Base
en ot

us us
e e
B C q
B C
Opposite side Adjacent side
Perpendicular Base
Case I: ∠A = θ Case II: ∠C = θ
In a right triangle ABC, right-angled at B. Once we have identified the sides, we can define
six t-Ratios with respect to the sides.
Case I Case II
Perpendicular BC Perpendicular AB
(i) sine A = Hypotenuse = AC (i) sine C = Hypotenuse = AC

Base AB Base BC
(ii) cosine A = Hypotenuse = AC (ii) cosine C = Hypotenuse = AC
Perpendicular BC Perpendicular AB
(iii) tangent A = = (iii) tangent C = =
Base AB Base BC
Hypotenuse AC Hypotenuse AC
(iv) cosecant A = Perpendicular = BC (iv) cosecant C = Perpendicular = AB
Hypotenuse AC Hypotenuse AC
(v) secant A = = (v) secant C = =
Base AB Base BC
Base AB Base BC
(vi) cotangent A = Perpendicular = BC (vi) cotangent C = Perpendicular = AB
Note from above six relationships:
1 1 1
cosecant A = sin A , secant A = , cotangent A = tangent A
cosine A
However, it is very tedious to write full forms of t-ratios, therefore the abbreviated
notations are:
sine A is sin A cosine A is cos A tangent A is tan A
cosecant A is cosec A secant A is sec A cotangent A is cot A
☞ TRIGONOMETRIC IDENTITIES
An equation involving trigonometric ratio of angle(s) is called a trigonometric identity, if it is true
for all values of the angles involved. These are:
sin θ cos θ
tan θ = cos θ cot θ =
sin θ
• sin2 q + cos2 q = 1 Þ• sin2 q = 1 – cos2 q Þ cos2 q = 1 – sin2 q
• cosec2 q – cot2 q = 1 Þ cosec2 q = 1 + cot2 q Þ cot2 q = cosec2 q – 1
• sec2 q – tan2 q = 1 Þ sec2 q = 1 + tan2 q Þ tan2 q = sec2 q – 1
• sin q cosec q = 1 Þ cos q sec q = 1 Þ tan q cot q =1
C
☞ ALERT: A t-ratio only depends upon the angle ‘q’ and stays the same for same
angle of different sized right triangles.
Value of t-ratios of specified angles: A B

The value of sin q and cos q can never exceed 1 (one) as opposite side is 1. Adjacent side can never
be greater than hypotenuse since hypotenuse is the longest side in a right-angled D.
☞ ‘t-RATIOS’ OF COMPLEMENTARY ANGLES A
If DABC is a right-angled triangle, right-angled at B, then
∵ ∠ A+ ∠ B+ ∠ C = 180 °
Ð A + Ð C = 90° ...
angle-sum-property
or Ð C = (90° – Ð A) B C
Thus, Ð A and Ð C are known as complementary angles and are related by the following
relationships:
sin (90° – A) = cos A; cosec (90° – A) = sec A
cos (90° – A) = sin A; sec (90° – A) = cosec A
tan (90° – A) = cot A; cot (90° – A) = tan A

Theorem 2: A line drawn through the end point of a radius and perpendicular to it, is the
tangent to the circle.
Given: A circle C(O, r) and a line APB is perpendicular to

Proof: Since OP ^ AB

\ The point Q lies outside the circle.
Therefore, every point on AB, other than P, lies outside the circle. This shows that AB meets the
circle at the point P.
Hence, AP is a tangent to the circle at P.
Theorem 3. Prove that the lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are
equal.

14 Statistics
MAIN CONCEPTS AND FORMULAE
☞ MEAN (AVERAGE): Mean [Ungrouped Data]—Mean of n observations, x1, x2, x3, … xn, is
1 x + x + x + ... + x
2 3 n 1 x
X = = x \ X = n
n n
☞ MEAN [Grouped Data]. The mean for grouped data can be found by the following three methods:
f i xi
(i) Direct Mean Method: X = fi
Upper class limit + Lower class limit Note : Frequency of a class is centred
Class Mark = ... at its mid-point called class mark.
2
(ii) Assumed Mean Method: In this, an arbitrary mean ‘a’ is chosen which is called, ‘assumed
mean’, somewhere in the middle of all the values of x.
f i di
X =a+ fi ...[where di = (xi – a)
(iii) Step Deviation Method:
f i ui di
X =a+ fi ×h ...[where ui =
h
, where h is a common divisor of di
☞ MEDIAN: Median is a measure of central tendency which gives the value of the middle-most
observation in the data.

(ii) Median (Grouped Data): Median = l + 2 ×h
f
...where[l = Lower limit of median class; n = Number of observations; f = Frequency of median class;
c.f. = Cumulative frequency of preceding class; h = Class size
(iii) Representing a cumulative frequency distribution graphically as a cumaltive frequency
curve, or an ogive of the less than type and of the more than type. The median of grouped data
can be obtained graphically as the x-coordinate of the point of intersection of the two ogives
for this data.
☞ Mode:(i) Ungrouped Data: The value of the observation having maximum frequency is the mode.
f1 − f0
(ii) Grouped Data: Mode = l + 2 f1 − f0 − f2 ×h
...where[l = Lower limit of modal class; f1 = Frequency of modal class; f0 = Frequency of the class

15 Probability
MAIN CONCEPTS
☞ PROBABILITY: It is the numerical measurement of the degree of certainty.
1. Theoretical probability associated with an event E is defined as “If there are ‘n’ elementary events
associated with a random experiment and m of these are favourable to the event E then the
m
probability of occurence of an event is defined by P(E) as the ratio ”.
n
Number of outcomes favourable to E m
P(E) = Number of all possible outcomes of the experiment . Thus, P(E) =
n
2. If P(E) = 1, then it is called a ‘Certain Event’.
3. If P(E) = 0, then it is called an ‘Impossible Event’.
4. The probability of an event E is a number P(E) such that: 0 £ P(E) £ 1
5. An event having only one outcome is called an elementary event. The sum of the probabilities
of all the elementary events of an experiment is 1.
6. For any event E, P(E) + P( E) = 1, where E stands for ‘not E’. E and E are called
complementary events.
7. Favourable outcomes are those outcomes in the sample space that are favourable to the
occurrence of an event.
☞ SAMPLE SPACE
A collection of all possible outcomes of an experiment is known as sample space. It is denoted by ‘S’
and represented in curly brackets.
Examples of Sample Spaces:
1. A coin is tossed = Event
\ E1 = Getting a head (H) on upper face; E2 = Getting a tail (T) on upper face
\ S = {H, T} \ Total number of outcomes = 2
2. Two coins are tossed = Event = E
E1 = Getting a head on coin 1 and a tail on coin 2 = (H, T)
E2 = Getting a head on both coin 1 and coin 2 = (H, H)
E3 = Getting a tail on coin 1 and a head on coin 2 = (T, H)
E4 = Getting a tail on both, coin 1 and coin 2 = (T, T)
\ S = {(H, T), (H, H), (T, H), (T, T)}. \ Total number of outcomes = 4
NOTE: In probability the order in which events occur is important. \ E1 &E3 are treated as different outcomes.
☞ IMPORTANT TIPS
1. Coin. A coin has two faces termed as Head and Tail.
2. Dice. A dice is a small cube which has between one to six spots or numbers on its sides, which
is used in games.
3. Cards. A pack of playing cards consists of four suits called Hearts, Spades, Diamonds and
Clubs. Each suit consists of 13 cards.
