SETS
Summary
This chapter deals with some basic definitions and operations involving sets. These
are summarised below:
® A set is a well-defined collection of objects.
® A set which does not contain any element is called empty set.
® A set which consists of a definite number of elements is called finite set,
otherwise, the set is called infinite set.
® Two sets A and B are said to be equal if they have exactly the same elements.
® A set A is said to be subset of a set B, if every element of A is also an element
of B. Intervals are subsets of R.
® The union of two sets A and B is the set of all those elements which are either
in A or in B.
® The intersection of two sets A and B is the set of all elements which are
common. The difference of two sets A and B in this order is the set of elements
which belong to A but not to B.
® The complement of a subset A of universal set U is the set of all elements of U
which are not the elements of A.
® For any two sets A and B, (A ∪ B)′ = A′ ∩ B′ and ( A ∩ B )′ = A′ ∪ B′

RELATIONS AND FUNCTIONS

Summary
In this Chapter, we studied about relations and functions.The main features of
this Chapter are as follows:
® Ordered pair A pair of elements grouped together in a particular order.
® Cartesian product A × B of two sets A and B is given by
A × B = {(a, b): a ∈ A, b ∈ B}
In particular R × R = {(x, y): x, y ∈ R}
and R × R × R = {(x, y, z): x, y, z ∈ R}
® If (a, b) = (x, y), then a = x and b = y.
® If n(A) = p and n(B) = q, then n(A × B) = pq.
®A×φ=φ
® In general, A × B ≠ B × A.
® Relation A relation R from a set A to a set B is a subset of the cartesian
product A × B obtained by describing a relationship between the first element
x and the second element y of the ordered pairs in A × B.
® The image of an element x under a relation R is given by y, where (x, y) ∈ R,
® The domain of R is the set of all first elements of the ordered pairs in a
relation R.
® The range of the relation R is the set of all second elements of the ordered
pairs in a relation R.
® Function A function f from a set A to a set B is a specific type of relation for
which every element x of set A has one and only one image y in set B.
We write f: A→B, where f(x) = y.
® A is the domain and B is the codomain of f .
® The range of the function is the set of images.
® A real function has the set of real numbers or one of its subsets both as its
domain and as its range.
® Algebra of functions For functions f : X → R and g : X → R, we have
(f + g) (x) = f (x) + g(x), x ∈ X
(f – g) (x) = f (x) – g(x), x ∈ X
(f.g) (x) = f (x) .g (x), x ∈ X
(kf) (x) = k ( f (x) ), x ∈ X, where k is a real number.

LINEAR INEQUALITIES
Summary
® Two real numbers or two algebraic expressions related by the symbols <, >, ≤
or ≥ form an inequality.
® Equal numbers may be added to (or subtracted from ) both sides of an inequality.
® Both sides of an inequality can be multiplied (or divided ) by the same positive
number. But when both sides are multiplied (or divided) by a negative number,
then the inequality is reversed.
® The values of x, which make an inequality a true statement, are called solutions
of the inequality.
® To represent x < a (or x > a) on a number line, put a circle on the number a and
dark line to the left (or right) of the number a.
® To represent x ≤ a (or x ≥ a) on a number line, put a dark circle on the number
a and dark the line to the left (or right) of the number x.

SEQUENCES AND SERIES

Summary

® By a sequence, we mean an arrangement of number in definite order according

to some rule. Also, we define a sequence as a function whose domain is the
set of natural numbers or some subsets of the type {1, 2, 3, ....k}. A sequence
containing a finite number of terms is called a finite sequence. A sequence is
called infinite if it is not a finite sequence.
® Let a1, a2, a3, ... be the sequence, then the sum expressed as a1 + a2 + a3 + ...
is called series. A series is called finite series if it has got finite number of
terms.
® A sequence is said to be a geometric progression or G.P., if the ratio of any
term to its preceding term is same throughout. This constant factor is called
the common ratio. Usually, we denote the first term of a G.P. by a and its
common ratio by r. The general or the nth term of G.P. is given by an= arn – 1.
The sum Sn of the first n terms of G.P. is given by

Sn =
(
a rn – 1 ) or a (1– r ) , if r ≠ 1
n

r –1 1–r

® The geometric mean (G.M.) of any two positive numbers a and b is given by
ab i.e., the sequence a, G, b is G.P.

INTRODUCTION TO THREE
DIMENSIONAL GEOMETRY
Summary
® In three dimensions, the coordinate axes of a rectangular Cartesian coordi-
nate system are three mutually perpendicular lines. The axes are called the x,
y and z-axes.
® The three planes determined by the pair of axes are the coordinate planes,
called XY, YZ and ZX-planes.
® The three coordinate planes divide the space into eight parts known as octants.
® The coordinates of a point P in three dimensional geometry is always written
in the form of triplet like (x, y, z). Here x, y and z are the distances from the
YZ, ZX and XY-planes.
® (i) Any point on x-axis is of the form (x, 0, 0)
(ii) Any point on y-axis is of the form (0, y, 0)
(iii) Any point on z-axis is of the form (0, 0, z).
® Distance between two points P(x1, y1, z1) and Q (x2, y2, z2) is given by
PQ = ( x2 − x1 )2 + ( y2 − y1 )2 + ( z2 − z1 )2

LIMITS AND DERIVATIVES

Summary
® The expected value of the function as dictated by the points to the left of a
point defines the left hand limit of the function at that point. Similarly the right
hand limit.
® Limit of a function at a point is the common value of the left and right hand
limits, if they coincide.

® For a function f and a real number a, lim f(x) and f (a) may not be same (In

PROBABILITY
Summary
In this Chapter, we studied about the axiomatic approach of probability. The main
features of this Chapter are as follows:
® Event: A subset of the sample space
® Impossible event : The empty set
® Sure event: The whole sample space
® Complementary event or ‘not event’ : The set A′ or S – A
® Event A or B: The set A ∪ B
® Event A and B: The set A ∩ B
® Event A and not B: The set A – B
® Mutually exclusive event: A and B are mutually exclusive if A ∩ B = φ
® Exhaustive and mutually exclusive events: Events E1, E2,..., En are mutually
exclusive and exhaustive if E1 ∪ E2 ∪ ...∪ En = S and Ei ∩ Ej = φ V i ≠ j
® Probability: Number P (ωi) associated with sample point ω i such that
(i) 0 ≤ P (ωi) ≤ 1 (ii) ∑ P ( ω ) for all ω ∈ S = 1
i i

(iii) P(A) = ∑ P ( ωi ) for all ωi ∈ A. The number P (ωi) is called probability

of the outcome ωi.
® Equally likely outcomes: All outcomes with equal probability
® Probability of an event: For a finite sample space with equally likely outcomes
n(A)
Probability of an event P(A) = , where n(A) = number of elements in
n(S)
the set A, n(S) = number of elements in the set S.
® If A and B are any two events, then
P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A and B)
equivalently, P(A ∪ B) = P(A) + P(B) – P(A ∩ B)
® If A and B are mutually exclusive, then P(A or B) = P(A) + P(B)
® If A is any event, then
P(not A) = 1 – P(A)
