Direct Variation or Direct Proportion:
Extra:
Two quantities x and y are said to be in direct proportion if they increase (decrease) together in such a manner that the ratio of their corresponding values remains
constant. That is if
=k [k is a positive number, then x and y are said to vary directly.
In such a case if y1, y2 are the values of y corresponding to the values x1, x of x
respectively then = .
If the number of articles purchased increases, the total cost also increases. More than money deposited in a bank, more is the interest earned.
Quantities increasing or decreasing together need not always be in direct proportion, same in the case of inverse proportion.
When two quantities x and y are in direct proportion (or vary directly), they are
written as
. Symbol
stands for ‘is proportion to’.
Inverse Proportion: Two quantities x and y are said to be in inverse proportion if an increase in x causes a proportional decrease in y (and vice-versa) in such a manner that the product of their corresponding values remains constant. That is, if xy
= k, then x and y are said to vary inversely. In this case if y1, y2 are the values of y
corresponding to the values x1, x2 of x respectively then
x1, Y1 = x2, y2 or
=
When two quantities x and y are in inverse proportion (or vary inversely), they are
written as x

Factorisation: Representation of an algebraic expression as the product of two or more expressions is called factorization. Each such expression is called a factor of the given algebraic expression. (Scroll down to continue …)
Study Tools
Audio, Visual & Digital Content
When we factorise an expression, we write it as a product of factors. These factors may be numbers, algebraic variables or algebraic expressions.
An irreducible factor is a factor which cannot be expressed further as a product of factors.
A systematic way of factorising an expression is the common factor method. It consists of three steps:
Write each term of the expression as a product of irreducible factors
Look for and separate the common factors and
Combine the remaining factors in each term in accordance with the distributive law.
Sometimes, all the terms in a given expression do not have a common factor; but the terms can be grouped in such a way that all the terms in each group have a common factor. When we do this, there emerges a common factor across all the groups leading to the required factorisation of the expression. This is the method of regrouping.
In factorisation by regrouping, we should remember that any regrouping (i.e., rearrangement) of the terms in the given expression may not lead to factorisation. We must observe the expression and come out with the desired regrouping by trial and error.
A number of expressions to be factorised are of the form or can be put into the form: a2 + 2ab + b2, a2 – 2ab + b2, a2 – b2 and x2 + (a + b)x + ab. These expressions can be easily factorised using Identities I, II, III and IV
a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2
a2 – 2ab + b2 = (a – b)2
a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)
Factorisation
x2 + (a + b)x + ab = (x + a)(x + b)
In expressions which have factors of the type (x + a) (x + b), remember the numerical term gives ab.
Its factors, a and b, should be so chosen that their sum, with signs taken care of, is the coefficient of x.
We know that in the case of numbers, division is the inverse of multiplication. This idea is applicable also to the division of algebraic expressions.
In the case of division of a polynomial by a monomial, we may carry out the division either by dividing each term of the polynomial by the monomial or by the common factor method.
In the case of division of a polynomial by a polynomial, we cannot proceed by dividing each term in the dividend polynomial by the divisor polynomial. Instead, we factorise both the polynomials and cancel their common factors.
In the case of divisions of algebraic expressions that we studied in this chapter, we have Dividend = Divisor × Quotient.
In general, however, the relation is Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
Thus, we have considered in the present chapter only those divisions in which the remainder is zero.
There are many errors students commonly make when solving algebra exercises.
You should avoid making such errors.

Chandrayaan 3: India’s Next Mission to the Moon
India is all set to launch its third lunar mission, Chandrayaan 3, in the near future. The Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) has been working tirelessly on this project since the success of Chandrayaan 2 in September 2019. This mission is expected to be a major milestone in India’s space exploration journey, and it has generated a lot of interest and excitement among space enthusiasts.
What is Chandrayaan 3?
Chandrayaan 3 is India’s third lunar mission, which aims to land a rover on the moon’s surface. The mission is a follow-up to Chandrayaan 2, which was partially successful. The main objective of Chandrayaan 3 is to conduct scientific experiments and collect data on the moon’s surface and atmosphere. The mission will also help India to develop its technological capabilities in space exploration.
What are the key features of Chandrayaan 3?
Chandrayaan 3 will consist of an orbiter, a lander, and a rover. The orbiter will be responsible for mapping the moon’s surface, while the lander will carry the rover to the moon’s surface. The rover will then explore the moon’s surface, collect data, and conduct experiments. Chandrayaan 3 will also carry a range of scientific instruments that will help in studying the moon’s geology, mineralogy, and atmosphere.
What are the challenges of Chandrayaan 3?
Chandrayaan 3 is a complex mission that involves several challenges. One of the biggest challenges is the landing of the rover on the moon’s surface. The lander has to be designed in such a way that it can withstand the harsh lunar environment and land safely on the moon’s surface. Another challenge is the communication between the lander and the orbiter. The lander has to communicate with the orbiter in order to transmit data back to Earth.
When will Chandrayaan 3 be launched?
The launch date for Chandrayaan 3 has not been announced yet. However, ISRO has stated that it is working towards launching the mission as soon as possible. The COVID-19 pandemic has delayed the mission’s progress, but ISRO is confident that it will be able to launch Chandrayaan 3 in the near future.
Conclusion
Chandrayaan 3 is an important mission for India’s space exploration journey. It will help India to develop its technological capabilities in space exploration and contribute to scientific research on the moon’s surface and atmosphere. The success of Chandrayaan 3 will be a major milestone for India and will inspire future generations of space enthusiasts.
Statistics is the study of collection, organization, analysis and interpretation of data.
Data
Data is a distinct piece of information in the form of fact or figures collected or represented for any specific purpose. The word data is derived from the Latin word Datum.
Collection of Data
In general, data is of two types. They are:
Primary Data
Secondary Data
Primary Data
Primary data is the data collected from any firsthand experience for an explicit use or purpose.
Secondary data
Secondary data is the data collected by any third party for a different purpose other than the user.
Presentation of Data
After collecting data it is important to present it meaningfully. There are many ways to present data.
1. Raw Data or Ungrouped Data
a. Raw Data or Ungrouped Data is the collected data without any change in its form.
Example
The marks obtained by 10 students in a Mathematics test are:
55 36 95 73 60 42 25 78 75 62
Range
Range is the difference between the highest and the lowest values of data.
For Above data: Range = 95 – 36 = 59
b. Frequency Distribution Table – Frequency Distribution Table is the data of a large number of items converted into tabular form.
Frequency is the number of times the item comes to the table.
2. Grouped Data
To present the very large number of items in the data we use a grouped distribution table.
Grouped Distribution Table
a. Class Interval – The group used to classify the data is called the class interval i.e. 20 – 30, 30 – 40.
b. Upper Limit – In each class interval, the greatest number is the upper-class limit.
c. Lower Limit – In each class interval, the smallest number is the lower class limit.
d. Class Size – It is the difference between the upper limit and the lower limit i.e. 10.
Class Size = Upper Limit – Lower Limit
e. Class Mark – The midpoint of each class interval is the class mark.
Grouped data could be of two types as below:-
Inclusive or discontinuous Frequency Distribution.
Exclusive or continuous Frequency Distribution
Inclusive or discontinuous Frequency Distribution – If the upper limit of a class is different from the lower limit of its next class then it is said to be an Inclusive or discontinuous Frequency Distribution.
Example
Draw the histogram of the following frequency distribution.
Daily earnings (in Rs)
700 – 749
750 – 799
800 – 849
850 – 899
900 – 949
950 – 999

Exclusive or continuous Frequency Distribution – If the upper limit of a class is the same as the lower limit of its next class then it is said to be exclusive or continuous Frequency Distribution
Example

Daily earnings (in Rs)
700 – 750
750 – 800

Graphical Representation of Data
Since a picture represents better than a thousand words, The data is presented graphically. Some of the methods of representing the data graphically are:
1. Bar Graph
2. Histogram
3. Frequency Polygon
1. Bar Graph
It is the easiest way to represent the data in the form of rectangular bars so it is called Bar graph.
The thickness of each bar should be the same.
The space between the bars should also be the same.
The height of the bar should be according to the numerical data to be represented.
Example
Represent the average monthly rainfall of Nepal for the first six months in the year 2014.
Month
Jan
Feb
Mar
Apr
May
Jun
Average rainfall
45
65
40
60
75
30
Solution
On the x-axis mark the name of the months.
On the y-axis mark the class interval which we have chosen.
Then mark the average rainfall respective to the name of the month by the vertical bars.
The bars could be of any width but should be the same.
This is the required bar graph.
2. Histogram
It is similar to Bar graph, but it is used in case of a continuous class interval.
The class intervals are to be taken along an x-axis.
The height represents the frequencies of the respective class intervals.
Example
Draw the histogram of the following frequency distribution.
Daily earnings (in Rs)
700 – 750
750 – 800
800 – 850
850 – 900
900 – 950
950 – 1000
No. of stores

Solution:
Mark the daily earnings on the x-axis.
Mark the no. of stores on the y-axis.
As the scale is starting from 700 so we will mark the zigzag to show the break.
Mark the daily earnings through the vertical bars.
3. Frequency Polygon
Procedure to draw the frequency polygon
First, we need to draw a histogram.
Then join the midpoint of the top of the bars to a line segment and the figure so obtained is the required frequency polygon.
The midpoint of the first bar is to be joined with the midpoint of the imaginary interval of the x-axis
The midpoint of the last bar is to be joined with the midpoint of the next interval of the x-axis.
If we need to draw the frequency polygon without drawing the histogram then first we need to calculate the class mark of each interval and these points will make the frequency polygon.
Example
Draw the frequency polygon of a city in which the following weekly observations were made in a study on the cost of living index without histogram.
Step 1: First of all we need to calculate the class mark of each class interval.
Step 2: Take the suitable scale and represent the class marks on the x-axis.
Step 3: Take the suitable scale and represent the frequency distribution on the y-axis.
Step 4: To complete the frequency polygon we will join it with the x-axis before the first class and after the last interval.
Step 5: Now plot the respective points and join to make the frequency polygon.
Measures of Central Tendency
To make all the study of data useful, we need to use measures of central tendencies. Some of the tendencies are
1. Mean
2. Median
3. Mode
1. Mean (Average)
The mean is the average of the number of observations. It is calculated by dividing the sum of the values of the observations by the total number of observations.
It is represented by x bar or.
The meanof n values x1, x2, x3, …… xn is given by
Mean of Grouped Data (Without Class Interval)
If the data is organized in such a way that the frequency is given but there is no class interval then we can calculate the mean by
where, x1, x2, x3,…… xn are the observations
f1, f2, f3, …… fn are the respective frequencies of the given observations.
Example
Here, x1, x2, x3, x4, and x5 are 20, 40, 60, 80,100 respectively.
and f1 , f2 , f3 , f4, f5 are 40, 60, 30, 50, 20 respectively.
2. Median
The median is the middle value of the given number of the observation which divides into exactly two parts.
For median of ungrouped data, we arrange it in ascending order and then calculated as follows
If the number of the observations is odd then the median will be Term
As in the above figure the no. of observations is 7 i.e. odd, so the median will beterm.
= 4th term.
The fourth term is 44.
If the number of observations is even then the median is the average of n/2 and (n/2) +1 term.
Example
Find the median of the following data.
6, 7, 10, 12, 13, 4, 8, 12
1. First, we need to arrange it in ascending order.
4, 6, 7,8,10,12,12,13
2. The no. of observation is 8. As the no. of observation is even the median is the average of n/2 and (n/2)+1.
3.
4. 4th term is 8 and the 5th term is 10.
5. So the median
3. Mode
The mode is the value of the observation which shows the number that occurs frequently in data i.e. the number of observations which has the maximum frequency is known as the Mode.
Example
Find the Mode of the following data:
15, 20, 22, 25, 30, 20,15, 20,12, 20
Solution
Here the number 20 appears the maximum number of times so
Mode = 20.
Remark: The empirical relation between the three measures of central tendency is: 3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean
The figures which we can be drawn on a flat surface or that lie on a plane are called Plane Figure.
Example – Circle, Square, Rectangle etc.
Solid figures
The 3D shapes which occupy some space are called Solid Figures.
Example – Cube, Cuboid, Sphere etc. (Scroll down to continue …)

Total surface area of the cereal box = 2(lb + bh + lh)
= 2(20 × 8 + 8 × 30 + 20 × 30)
= 2(160 + 240 + 600)
= 2(1000) = 2000 cm2.

Solution
Given, h = 22 cm, R = 7 cm, r = 6 cm (thickness of the wall is 1 cm).
Total surface area of a hollow cylinder = 2πh(R + r) + 2π(R2 – r2)
= 2(π) (22) (7+6) + 2(π)(72 – 62)
= 572 π + 26 π = 598 π
= 1878.67 cm2

Circles
Any closed shape with all points connected at equidistant from the centre forms a Circle.
Any point which is equidistant from anywhere from its boundary is known as the Centre of the Circle.
Radius is a Latin word which means ‘ray’ but in the circle it is the line segment from the centre of the circle to its edge. So any line starting or ending at the centre of the circle and joining anywhere on the border of the circle is known as the Radius of Circle.
Interior and Exterior of a Circle
In a flat surface, the interior of a circle is the line whose distance from the centre is less than the radius.
The exterior of a circle is the line in the plane whose distance from the centre is larger than the radius.
Terms related to circle
Chord: Any straight line segment that’s both endpoints falls on the boundary of the circle is known as Chord. In Latin, it means ‘bowstring’.
Diameter: Any straight line segment or Chord which passes through the centre of the Circle and its endpoints connects on the boundary of the Circle is known as the Diameter of Circle. So in a circle Diameter is the longest chord possible in a circle.
Arc: Any smooth curve joining two points is known as Arc. So in Circle, we can have two possible Arcs, the bigger one is known as Major Arc and the smaller one is known as Minor Arc.
Circumference: It is the length of the circle if we open and straighten it out to make a line segment.
Segment and Sector of the Circle
A segment of the circle is the region between either of its arcs and a chord. It could be a major or minor segment.
Sector of the circle is the area covered by an arc and two radii joining the centre of the circle. It could be the major or minor sector.
Angle Subtended by a Chord at a Point
If in a circle AB is the chord and is making ∠ACB at any point of the circle then this is the angle subtended by the chord AB at a point C.
Likewise, ∠AOB is the angle subtended by chord AB at point O i.e. at the centre and ∠ADB is also the angle subtended by AB at point D on the circle.
Theorem 1: Any two equal chords of a circle subtend equal angles at the centre.
Here in the circle, the two chords are given and PQ = RS with centre O.
So OP = OS = OQ = OR (all are radii of the circle)
∆POQ ≅ ∆SOR
∠POQ = ∠SOR
This shows that the angles subtended by equal chords to the centre are also equal.
Theorem 2: If the angles made by the chords of a circle at the centre are equal, then the chords must be equal.
This theorem is the reverse of the above Theorem 1.
Perpendicular from the Centre to a Chord
Theorem 3: If we draw a perpendicular from the centre of a circle to any chord then it bisects the chord.
If we draw a perpendicular from the centre to the chord of the circle then it will bisect the chord. And the bisector will make a 90° angle to the chord.
Theorem 4: The line which is drawn from the centre of a circle to bisect a chord must be perpendicular to the chord.
If we draw a line OB from the centre of the circle O to the midpoint of the chord AC i.e. B, then OB is the perpendicular to the chord AB.
If we join OA and OC, then
In ∆OBA and ∆OBC,
AB = BC (B is the midpoint of AC)
OA = OC (Both are the radii of the same circle)
OB = OB (same side)
Hence, ΔOBA ≅ ΔOBC (both are congruent by SSS congruence rule)
⇒ ∠OBA = ∠OBC (respective angles of congruent triangles)
∠OBA + ∠OBC = ∠ABC = 180° [Linear pair]
∠OBC + ∠OBC = 180° [Since ∠OBA = ∠OBC]
2 x ∠OBC = 180°
∠OBC = 90o
∠OBC = ∠OBA = 90°
∴ OB ⊥ AC
Circle through Three Points
Theorem 5: There is one and only one circle passing through three given non-collinear points.
In this figure, we have three non-collinear points A, B and C. Let us join AB and BC and then make the perpendicular bisector of both so that RS and PQ the perpendicular bisector of AB and BC respectively meet each other at Point O.
Now take the O as centre and OA as the radius to draw the circle which passes through the three points A, B and C.
This circle is known as Circumcircle. Its centre and radius are known as the Circumcenter and Circumradius.
Equal Chords and Their Distances from the Centre
Theorem 6: Two equal chords of a circle are at equal distance from the centre.
AB and CD are the two equal chords in the circle. If we draw the perpendicular bisector of these chords then the line segment from the centre to the chord is the distance of the chord from the centre.
If the chords are of equal size then their distance from the centre will also be equal.
Theorem 7: Chords at equal distance from the centre of a circle are also equal in length. This is the reverse of the above theorem which says that if the distance between the centre and the chords are equal then they must be of equal length.
Angle Subtended by an Arc of a Circle
The angle made by two different equal arcs to the centre of the circle will also be equal.
There are two arcs in the circle AB and CD which are equal in length.
So ∠AOB = ∠COD.
Theorem 8: The angle subtended by an arc at the centre is twice the angle subtended by the same arc at some other point on the remaining part of the circle.
In the above figure ∠POQ = 2∠PRQ.
Theorem 9: Angles from a common chord which are on the same segment of a circle are always equal.
If there are two angles subtended from a chord to any point on the circle which are on the same segment of the circle then they will be equal.
∠a = (1/2) ∠c (By theorem 8)
∠b = (1/2) ∠c
∠a = ∠b
Cyclic Quadrilaterals
If all the vertices of the quadrilateral come in a circle then it is said to be a cyclic quadrilateral.
Theorem 10: Any pair of opposite angles of a cyclic quadrilateral has the sum of 180º.
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360º (angle sum property of a quadrilateral)
∠A + ∠C = 180°
∠B + ∠D = 180º
Theorem 11: If the pair of opposite angles of a quadrilateral has a sum of 180º, then the quadrilateral will be cyclic.
Any closed polygon with four sides, four angles and four vertices are called Quadrilateral. It could be regular or irregular. (Sroll down to continute …)

Important Points To Remember
The diagonals of a parallelogram are equal if and only if it is a rectangle.
If a diagonal of a parallelogram bisects one of the angles of the parallelogram then it also bisects the opposite angle.
In a parallelogram, the bisectors of any two consecutive angles intersect at a right angle.
The angle bisectors of a parallelogram form a rectangle.
Mid Point Theorem

Converse Of Mid Point Theorem
A line through the midpoint of a side of a triangle parallel to another side bisects the third side.
Intercept Theorem
If there are three parallel lines and the intercepts made by them on one transversal are equal then the intercepts on any other transversal are also equal.
Angle Sum Property of a Quadrilateral
The sum of the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360°
If we draw a diagonal in the quadrilateral, it divides it into two triangles.
And we know the angle sum property of a triangle i.e. the sum of all the three angles of a triangle is 180°.
The sum of angles of ∆ADC = 180°.
The sum of angles of ∆ABC = 180°.
By adding both we get ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
Hence, the sum of the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
Example
Find ∠A and ∠D, if BC∥ AD and ∠B = 52° and ∠C = 60° in the quadrilateral ABCD.
Solution:
Given BC ∥ AD, so ∠A and ∠B are consecutive interior angles.
So ∠A + ∠B = 180° (Sum of consecutive interior angles is 180°).
∠B = 52°
∠A = 180°- 52° = 128°
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360° (Sum of the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360°).
∠C = 60°
128° + 52° + 60° + ∠D = 360°
∠D = 120°
∴ ∠A = 128° and ∠D = 120 °.

Properties of a Parallelogram
Theorem 1: When we divide a parallelogram into two parts diagonally then it divides it into two congruent triangles.
∆ABD ≅ ∆CDB
Theorem 2: In a parallelogram, opposite sides will always be equal.
Theorem 3: A quadrilateral will be a parallelogram if each pair of its opposite sides will be equal.
Here, AD = BC and AB = DC
Then ABCD is a parallelogram.
Theorem 4: In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.
In ABCD, ∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D
Theorem 5: In a quadrilateral, if each pair of opposite angles is equal, then it is said to be a parallelogram. This is the reverse of Theorem 4.
Theorem 6: The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Here, AC and BD are the diagonals of the parallelogram ABCD.
So the bisect each other at the centre.
DE = EB and AE = EC
Theorem 7: When the diagonals of the given quadrilateral bisect each other, then it is a parallelogram.
This is the reverse of the theorem 6.
The Mid-point Theorem
1. If a line segment joins the midpoints of the two sides of the triangle then it will be parallel to the third side of the triangle.
If AB = BC and CD = DE then BD ∥ AE.
2. If a line starts from the midpoint of one line and that line is parallel to the third line then it will intersect the midpoint of the third line.
If D is the midpoint of AB and DE∥ BC then E is the midpoint of AC.
Example
Prove that C is the midpoint of BF if ABFE is a trapezium and AB ∥ EF.D is the midpoint of AE and EF∥ DC.
Solution:
Let BE cut DC at a point G.
Now in ∆AEB, D is the midpoint of AE and DG ∥ AB.
By midpoint theorem, G is the midpoint of EB.
Again in ∆BEF, G is the midpoint of BE and GC∥ EF.
Two geometric figures which are the same in shape, such that one is simply a copy of the other on a smaller scale or a larger scale, are called similar geometric figures.
Two geometric figures are said to be similar if and only if they have the same shape but not necessarily the same size. Two congruent geometric figures are always similar but converse may or may not be true. (Scroll down to read more …)

Similar Polygons: Two polygons of the same number of sides are similar, if
(i) their corresponding angles are equal and
(ii) their corresponding sides are in proportion or their corresponding sides are in the same ratio.
The same ratio of the corresponding sides is referred to as the representative fraction or the scale factor for the polygons.
Similar Triangles :
Two triangles are said to be similar,
if (i) their corresponding angles are equal and
ii) their corresponding sides are in proportion (are in the same ratio).
If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle intersecting the other two sides, then it divides the two sides in the same ratio. Or If a line is drawn parallel to one side of a triangle, intersecting the other two sides in distinct points, the other two sides are divided in the same ratio i .e.. If in ∆ABC, l∥ BC, intersecting in D and E. then

Criteria for Similarity of Triangles:
Two triangles are said to be similar, if
(i) their corresponding angles are equal and (ii) their corresponding sides are in proportion (or are in the same ratio).
2 (i) AA or AAA Similarity Criterion : If two angles of one triangle are equal to two corresponding angles of another triangle, then the triangles are similar. If two angles of one triangle are respectively equal to the two angles of another triangle, then the third angles of the two triangles are necessarily equal, because the sum of three angles of a triangle is always 180 0 .
(ii) SAS Similarity Criterion : If one angle of a triangle is equal to one angle of another triangle and the sides including these angles are in the same ratio, then the two triangles are similar. Or If two sides of a triangle are proportional to two corresponding sides of another triangle and the angles included between them are equal, then the triangles are similar.
iii) SSS Similarity Criterion : If in two triangles, sides of one triangle are proportional (or are in the same ratio) to the sides of the other triangle, then the triangles are similar. If ∆ABC~ ∆PQR by any one similarity criterion, then ∠A=∠P, ∠B=∠Q, ∠C=∠R and
i.e., A and P, B and Q, C and R are the corresponding vertices, also AB and PQ. BC and QR. CA and RP are the corresponding sides. 3 Areas of Similar Triangles: The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding sides. – The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the square of the ratio of their corresponding medians. – The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of their corresponding altitudes. – The ratio of the areas of two similar triangles is equal to the ratio of the squares of their corresponding angle bisectors. Pythagoras Theorem : In a right triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides. Converse of Pythagoras Theorem : In a triangle, if the square of one side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides, then the angle opposite the first side is a right angle. If a perpendicular is drawn from the vertex of the right angle of a right triangle to the hypotenuse, the triangles on each side of the perpendicular are similar to the whole triangle and similar to each other i .e ..

Angles
When two rays begin from the same endpoint then they form an Angle. The two rays are the arms of the angle and the endpoint is the vertex of the angle.

Types of Angles
Complementary and Supplementary Angles
Complementary Angles are the different angles whose sum is 90°.
Complementary Angles are the different angles whose sum is 180°.
Intersecting Lines and Non-intersecting Lines
There are two ways to draw two lines-
1. The lines which cross each other from a particular point are called Intersecting Lines.
2. The lines which never cross each other at any point are called Non-intersecting Lines. These lines are called Parallel Lines and the common length between two lines is the distance between parallel lines.
Pairs of Angles Axioms
1. If a ray stands on a line, then the sum of two adjacent angles formed by that ray is 180°.
This shows that the common arm of the two angles is the ray which is standing on a line and the two adjacent angles are the linear pair of the angles. As the sum of two angles is 180° so these are supplementary angles too.
2. If the sum of two adjacent angles is 180°, then the arms which are not common of the angles form a line.
This is the reverse of the first axiom which says that the opposite is also true.
Vertically opposite Angles Theorem
When two lines intersect each other, then the vertically opposite angles so formed will be equal.
AC and BD are intersecting each other so ∠AOD = ∠BOC and ∠AOB = DOC.
Parallel Lines and a Transversal
If a line passes through two distinct lines and intersects them at distant points then this line is called Transversal Line.
Here line “l” is transversal of line m and n.
Exterior Angles – ∠1, ∠2, ∠7 and ∠8
Interior Angles – ∠3, ∠4, ∠5 and ∠6
Pairs of angles formed when a transversal intersects two lines-
1. Corresponding Angles:
∠ 1 and ∠ 5
∠ 2 and ∠ 6
∠ 4 and ∠ 8
∠ 3 and ∠ 7
2. Alternate Interior Angles:
∠ 4 and ∠ 6
∠ 3 and ∠ 5
3. Alternate Exterior Angles:
∠ 1 and ∠ 7
∠ 2 and ∠ 8
4. Interior Angles on the same side of the transversal:
∠ 4 and ∠ 5
∠ 3 and ∠ 6
Transversal Axioms
1. If a transversal intersects two parallel lines, then
Each pair of corresponding angles will be equal.
Each pair of alternate interior angles will be equal.
Each pair of interior angles on the same side of the transversal will be supplementary.
2. If a transversal intersects two lines in such a way that
Corresponding angles are equal then these two lines will be parallel to each other.
Alternate interior angles are equal then the two lines will be parallel.
Interior angles on the same side of the transversal are supplementary then the two lines will be parallel.
Lines Parallel to the Same Line
If two lines are parallel with a common line then these two lines will also be parallel to each other.
As in the above figure if AB ∥ CD and EF ∥ CD then AB ∥ EF.
Angle Sum Property of a Triangle
1. The sum of the angles of a triangle is 180º.
∠A + ∠B + ∠C = 180°
2. If we produce any side of a triangle, then the exterior angle formed is equal to the sum of the two interior opposite angles.
Introduction to Euclid Geometry The necessity of geometry had been felt from ancient times in different parts of the world.
The practical problems faced by people of ancient civilization had developed this branch of mathematics.
Let us cite few examples.

In order to redraw the boundaries, the idea of area was introduced, the idea of area was introduced.
The volumes of granaries could be measured by using geometry.
The existence of Egyptian pyramids indicates the use of geometry from olden times.
In Vedic period, there was a manual of geometrical construction, known as Sulbasutra’s.
Different geometrical shapes were constructed as altars to perform various Vedic rites.
The word Geometry originates from the green word ‘Geo’ (earth) and metrein (to measure) Through Geometry was developed and applied from ancient time in various part the world, it was not presented in a systematic manner.
Later in 300 BC, the Egyptian mathematician Euclid, collected all the known work and arranged it in a systematic manner.
‘Elements’ is a classic treatise in geometry which was written by Euclid.
This was the most influential book. The ‘element’ was used as a text book for several years in western Europe.
The ‘elements’ started with 28 definitions, five postulates and five common notions and systematically built the rest of plane and solid geometry.
The geometrical approach given by Euclid is known as Euclid method.
The Euclid method consists of making a small set of assumptions and then proving many other proposition from these assumptions.
The assumptions, made were obvious universal truth. The two types of assumption, made were ‘axioms’ and ‘postulates’.
Euclid’s Definitions Euclid listed 23 definitions in book 1 of the ‘elements’.
We list a few of them: 1) 2) 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) A point is that which has no part A line is a breadth less length The ends of a line are points A straight line is a line which lies evenly with the points on itself. A surface is that which has length and breadth only.
The edges of a surface are lines A plane surface is surface which lies evenly with straight lines on its self. Starting with these definitions, Euclid assumed certain assumptions, known as axioms and postulates.
Euclid’s Axioms Axioms were assumptions which were used throughout mathematics and are not specifically linked to geometry.
Few of Euclid’s axioms are:
1) Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another.
2) It equals are added to equals; the wholes are equal.
3) 4) 5) 6) 7) If equals are subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal.
Things which coincide one another are equal to one another.
The whole is greater than the part Things which are double of the same thing are equal to one another.
Things which are half of the same things are equal to one another.
All these axioms refer to magnitude of same kind.
Axiom – 1 can be written as follows: If x = Z and y = Z, then x = y
Axiom – 2 explains the following: If x = y, then x + Z = y + Z According to axiom – 3, If x = y, then x – Z = y – Z Axiom – 4 justifies the principle of superposition that every thing equals itself.
Axiom – 5, gives us the concept of comparison. If x is a part of y, then there is a quantity Z such that x = y + Z or x > y Note that magnitudes of the same kind can be added, subtracted or compared.
Euclid’s Postulates Euclid used the term postulate for the assumptions that were specific to geometry. Euclid’s five postulates are as follows: Postulate 1: A straight line may be drawn from any one point to any other point. Same may be stated as axiom 5.1 Given two distinct points, there is a unique line that passes through them.
Postulate 2: A terminated line can be produced indefinitely. Postulate 3: A circle can be drawn with any centre and any radius. Postulate 4: All right angles are equal to one another. Postulate 5: If a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angle on the same side of it taken together less than two right angles, then two straight lines, if produced indefinitely, meet on that side on which the sum of the angles is less than two right angles. Postulates 1 to Postulates 4 are very simple and obvious and therefore they are taken a ‘self evident truths’. Postulates 5 is complex and it needs to be discussed. Suppose the line XY falls on two lines AB and CD such that ∠1 + ∠2 < 180°, then the lines AB and CD will intersect at a point. In the given figure, they intersect on left side of PQ, if both are produced. Note: In mathematics the words axiom and postulate may be used interchangeably, though they have distinct meaning according to Euclid. System of Consistent Axioms A system of axioms is said to be consistent, if it is impossible to deduce a statement from these axioms, which contradicts any of the given axioms or proposition. Proposition or Theorem The statement or results which were proved by using Euclid’s axioms and postulates are called propositions or Theorems. Theorem: Two distinct lines cannot have more than one point in common. Proof: Given: AB and CD are two lines. To prove: They intersect at one point or they do not intersect. Proof: Suppose the lines AB and CD intersect at two points P and Q. This implies the line AB passes through the points P and Q. Also the line CD passes through the points P and Q. This implies there are two lines which pass through two distinct point P and Q. But we know that one and only one line can pass through two distinct points. This axiom contradicts out assumption that two distinct lines can have more than one point in common. The lines AB and CD cannot pass through two distinct point P and Q. Equivalent Versions of Euclid’s Fifth Postulate The two different version of fifth postulate a) For every line l and for every point P not lying on l, there exist a unique line m passing through P and parallel to l. b) Two distinct intersecting lines cannot be parallel to the same line.
The equation of a straight line is the linear equation. It could be in one variable or two variables.
Linear Equation in One Variable
The equation with one variable in it is known as a Linear Equation in One Variable. (Scroll down to continue …)

The general form for Linear Equation in One Variable is px + q = s, where p, q and s are real numbers and p ≠ 0.
Example:
x + 5 = 10
y – 3 = 19
These are called Linear Equations in One Variable because the highest degree of the variable is one.
Graph of the Linear Equation in One Variable
We can mark the point of the linear equation in one variable on the number line.
x = 2 can be marked on the number line as follows –
Graph of the Linear Equation in One Variable
Linear Equation in Two Variables
An equation with two variables is known as a Linear Equation in Two Variables. The general form of the linear equation in two variables is
ax + by + c = 0
where a and b are coefficients and c is the constant. a ≠ 0 and b ≠ 0.
Example
6x + 2y + 5 = 0, etc.
Slope Intercept form
Generally, the linear equation in two variables is written in the slope-intercept form as this is the easiest way to find the slope of the straight line while drawing the graph of it.
The slope-intercept form is y = mx+c
Where m represents the slope of the line.
and c tells the point of intersection of the line with the y-axis.
Remark: If b = 0 i.e. if the equation is y = mx then the line will pass through the origin as the y-intercept is zero.
Solution of a Linear Equation
There is only one solution in the linear equation in one variable but there are infinitely many solutions in the linear equation in two variables.
As there are two variables, the solution will be in the form of an ordered pair, i.e. (x, y).
The pair which satisfies the equation is the solution to that particular equation.
Example:
Find the solution for the equation 2x + y = 7.
Solution:
To calculate the solution of the given equation we will take x = 0
2(0) + y = 7
y = 7
Hence, one solution is (0, 7).
To find another solution we will take y = 0
2x + 0 = 7
x = 3.5
So another solution is (3.5, 0).
Graph of a Linear Equation in Two Variables
To draw the graph of a linear equation in two variables, we need to draw a table to write the solutions of the given equation, and then plot them on the Cartesian plane.
By joining these coordinates, we get the line of that equation.
The coordinates which satisfy the given Equation lie on the line of the equation.
Every point (x, y) on the line is the solution x = a, y = b of the given Equation.
Any point, which does not lie on the line AB, is not a solution of Equation.
Example:
Draw the graph of the equation 3x + 4y = 12.
Solution:
To draw the graph of the equation 3x + 4y = 12, we need to find the solutions of the equation.
Let x = 0
3(0) + 4y = 12
y = 3
Let y = 0
3x + 4(0) = 12
x = 4
Now draw a table to write the solutions.
x 0 4
y 3 0
Now we can draw the graph easily by plotting these points on the Cartesian plane.
Linear Equation in Two Variables
Equations of Lines Parallel to the x-axis and y-axis
When we draw the graph of the linear equation in one variable then it will be a point on the number line.
x – 5 = 0
x = 5
This shows that it has only one solution i.e. x = 5, so it can be plotted on the number line.
But if we treat this equation as the linear equation in two variables then it will have infinitely many solutions and the graph will be a straight line.
x – 5 = 0 or x + (0) y – 5 = 0
This shows that this is the linear equation in two variables where the value of y is always zero. So the line will not touch the y-axis at any point.
x = 5, x = number, then the graph will be the vertical line parallel to the y-axis.
All the points on the line will be the solution of the given equation.
Equations of Lines Parallel to the x-axis and y-axis
Similarly if y = – 3, y = number then the graph will be the horizontal line parallel to the x-axis.
A plane formed by two number lines, one horizontal

other at their zeroes, and then they form a Cartesian

● The horizontal line is known as the x-axis and the vertical line is known
as the y-axis.
● The point where these two lines intersect each other is called the origin.
It is represented as ‘O’.
● OX and OY are the positive directions as the positive numbers lie in the
right and upward direction.
● Similarly, the left and the downward directions are the negative directions
as all the negative numbers lie there.
Quadrants of the Cartesian Plane The Cartesian plane is divided into four quadrants namely Quadrant I, Quadrant II, Quadrant III, and Quadrant IV anticlockwise from OX.
Coordinates of a Point To write the coordinates of a point we need to follow the following rules. ● Thex – coordinate of a point is marked by drawing perpendicular from the y-axis measured a length of the x-axis .It is also called the Abscissa.
They – coordinate of a point is marked by drawing a perpendicular from the x-axis measured a length of the y-axis .It is also called the Ordinate. ● While writing the coordinates of a point in the coordinate plane, the x – coordinate comes first, and then the y – coordinate. We write the coordinates in brackets. In figure, OB = CA = x coordinate (Abscissa), and CO = AB = y coordinate (Ordinate). We write the coordinate as (x, y).
Remarks:
As the origin, O has zero distance from the x-axis and the y-axis so its abscissa and ordinate are zero. Hence the coordinate of the origin is (0, 0). The relationship between the signs of the coordinates of a point and the quadrant of a point in which it lies.

Steps to plot the point (2, 3) on the Cartesian plane:
● First of all, we need to draw the Cartesian plane by drawing the coordinate axes with 1 unit = 1 cm.
● To mark the x coordinates, starting from 0 moves towards the positive x-axis and counts to 2.
● To mark the y coordinate, starting from 2 moves upwards in the positive direction and counts to 3.
● Now this point is the coordinate (2, 3). Likewise, we can plot all the other points, like (-3, 1) and (-1.5,-2.5) in the figure.
Question: Are the coordinates (x, y) = (y, x)? Let x = (-4) and y = (-2) So (x, y) = (- 4, – 2) (y, x) = (- 2, – 4)
Let’s mark these coordinates on the Cartesian plane. You can see that the positions of both the points are different in the Cartesian plane. So, If x ≠ y, then (x, y) ≠ (y, x), and (x, y) = (y, x), if x = y.
Example: Plot the points (6, 4), (- 6,- 4), (- 6, 4) and (6,- 4) on the Cartesian plane.
Solution: Since both numbers 6, 4 are positive the point (6, 4) lies in the first quadrant. For x coordinate, we will move towards the right and count to 6. Then from that point go upward and count to 4. Mark that point as the coordinate (6, 4). Similarly, we can plot all the other three points.
A polynomial is an algebraic expression that includes constants, variables, and exponents. It is the expression in which the variables have only positive integral powers.
Example
1. 4x3 + 3x2 + x +3 is a polynomial in variable x.
2. 4x2 + 3x-1 – 4 is not a polynomial as it has negative power.
3. 3x3/2 + 2x – 3 is not a polynomial.
Polynomials are denoted by p (x), q (x), etc.
In the above polynomials, 2x2, 3y, and 2 are the terms of the polynomial.
2 and 3 are the coefficients of x2 and y, respectively.
x and y are the variables.
2 is the constant term, which has no variable.
Polynomials in One Variable
If there is only one variable in the expression, then this is called the polynomial in one variable.
Example
x3 + x – 4 is polynomial in variable x and is denoted by p(x).
r2 + 2 is polynomial in variable r and is denoted by p(r).
Types of polynomials on the basis of the number of terms
Types of polynomials on the basis of the number of degrees
The highest value of the power of the variable in the polynomial is the degree of the polynomial.
Zeros of a Polynomial
If p(x) is a polynomial, then the number ‘a’ will be the zero of the polynomial with p(a) = 0. We can find the zero of the polynomial by equating it to zero.
Example: 1
The given polynomial is p(x) = x – 4
To find the zero of the polynomial, we will equate it to zero.
x – 4 = 0
x = 4
p(4) = x – 4 = 4 – 4 = 0
This shows that if we place 4 in place of x, we get the value of the polynomial as zero. So 4 is the zero of this polynomial. And also, we are getting the value 4 by equating the polynomial with 0.
So 4 is the zero of the polynomial or the root of the polynomial.
The root of the polynomial is basically the x-intercept of the polynomial.
If the polynomial has one root, it will intersect the x-axis at one point only, and if it has two roots, it will intersect at two points, and so on.
Example: 2
Find p (1) for the polynomial p (t) = t2 – t + 1
p (1) = (1)2 – 1 + 1
= 1 – 1 + 1
= 1
Remainder Theorem
We know the property of division which follows in the basic division, i.e.
Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder
This follows the division of polynomials.
If p(x) and g(x) are two polynomials in which the degrees of p(x) ≥ degree of g(x) and g(x) ≠ 0 are given, then we can get the q(x) and r(x) so that:
P(x) = g(x) q(x) + r(x),
where r(x) = 0 or degree of r(x) < degree of g(x).
It says that p(x) divided by g(x), gives q(x) as a quotient and r(x) as a remainder.
Let’s understand it with an example
Division of a Polynomial with a Monomial
We can see that ‘x’ is common in the above polynomial, so we can write it as
Hence, 3x2 + x + 1 and x the factors of 3x3 + x2 + x.
Steps of the Division of a Polynomial with a Non –Zero Polynomial
Divide x2 – 3x -10 by 2 + x
Step 1: Write the dividend and divisor in descending order, i.e., in the standard form. x2 – 3x -10 and x + 2
Divide the first term of the dividend with the first term of the divisor.
x2/x = x this will be the first term of the quotient.
Step 2: Now multiply the divisor by this term of the quotient and subtract it from the dividend.
Step 3: Now the remainder is our new dividend, so we will repeat the process again by dividing the dividend by the divisor.
Step 4: – (5x/x) = – 5
Step 5:
The remainder is zero.
Hence x2 – 3x – 10 = (x + 2)(x – 5) + 0
Dividend = (Divisor × Quotient) + Remainder
The Remainder Theorem says that if p(x) is any polynomial of degree greater than or equal to one and let ‘t’ be any real number and p (x) is divided by the linear polynomial x – t, then the remainder is p(t).
As we know,
P(x) = g(x) q(x) + r(x)
If p(x) is divided by (x-t) then
If x = t
P (t) = (t – t). q (t) + r = 0
To find the remainder or to check the multiple of the polynomial, we can use the remainder theorem.
Example:
What is the remainder if a4 + a3 – 2a2 + a + 1 is divided by a – 1.
Solution:
P(x) = a4 + a3 – 2a2 + a + 1
To find the zero of (a – 1), we need to equate it to zero.
a -1 = 0
a = 1
p (1) = (1)4 + (1)3 – 2(1)2 + (1) + 1
= 1 + 1 – 2 + 1 + 1
= 2
So by using the remainder theorem, we can easily find the remainder after the division of the polynomial.
Factor Theorem
The factor theorem says that if p(y) is a polynomial with degree n≥1 and t is a real number, then
(y – t) is a factor of p(y), if p(t) = 0, and
P (t) = 0 if (y – t) is a factor of p (y).
Example: 1
Check whether g(x) = x – 3 is the factor of p(x) = x3 – 4x2 + x + 6 using the factor theorem.
Solution:
According to the factor theorem, if x – 3 is the factor of p(x), then p(3) = 0, as the root of x – 3 is 3.
P (3) = (3)3 – 4(3)2 + (3) + 6
= 27 – 36 + 3 + 6 = 0
Hence, g (x) is the factor of p (x).
Example: 2
Find the value of k, if x – 1 is a factor of p(x) = kx2 – √2x + 1
Solution:
As x -1 is the factor, p(1) = 0
Factorization of Polynomials
Factorization can be done by three methods
1. By taking out the common factor
If we have to factorise x2 –x then we can do it by taking x common.
x(x – 1) so that x and x-1 are the factors of x2 – x.
2. By grouping
ab + bc + ax + cx = (ab + bc) + (ax + cx)
= b(a + c) + x(a + c)
= (a + c)(b + x)
3. By splitting the middle term
x2 + bx + c = x2 + (p + q) + pq
= (x + p)(x + q)
This shows that we have to split the middle term in such a way that the sum of the two terms is equal to ‘b’ and the product is equal to ‘c’.
Example: 1
Factorize 6x2 + 17x + 5 by splitting the middle term.
Solution:
If we can find two numbers p and q such that p + q = 17 and pq = 6 × 5 = 30, then we can get the factors.
Some of the factors of 30 are 1 and 30, 2 and 15, 3 and 10, 5 and 6, out of which 2 and 15 is the pair which gives p + q = 17.

Integers
All natural numbers, negative numbers and 0, together are called Integers.
Z = – 3, – 2, – 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, …………..
Rational Numbers
The number ‘a’ is called Rational if it can be written in the form of r/s where ‘r’ and ‘s’ are integers and s ≠ 0,
Q = 2/3, 3/5, etc. all are rational numbers.
How to find a rational number between two given numbers?
To find the rational number between two given numbers ‘a’ and ‘b’.
Example:
Find 2 rational numbers between 4 and 5.
Solution:
To find the rational number between 4 and 5
To find another number we will follow the same process again.
Hence the two rational numbers between 4 and 5 are 9/2 and 17/4.
Remark: There could be unlimited rational numbers between any two rational numbers.
Irrational Numbers
The number ‘a’ which cannot be written in the form of p/q is called irrational, where p and q are integers and q ≠ 0 or you can say that the numbers which are not rational are called Irrational Numbers.
Example – √7, √11 etc.
Real Numbers
All numbers including both rational and irrational numbers are called Real Numbers.
R = – 2, – (2/3), 0, 3 and √2
Real Numbers and their Decimal Expansions
1. Rational Numbers
If the rational number is in the form of a/b then by dividing a by b we can get two situations.
a. If the remainder becomes zero
While dividing if we get zero as the remainder after some steps then the decimal expansion of such a number is called terminating.
Example:
7/8 = 0.875
b. If the remainder does not become zero
While dividing if the decimal expansion continues and not becomes zero then it is called non-terminating or repeating expansion.
Example:
1/3 = 0.3333….
Hence, the decimal expansion of rational numbers could be terminating or non-terminating recurring and vice-versa.
2. Irrational Numbers
If we do the decimal expansion of an irrational number then it would be non –terminating non-recurring and vice-versa. i. e. the remainder does not become zero and also not repeated.
Example:
π = 3.141592653589793238……
Representing Real Numbers on the Number Line
To represent the real numbers on the number line we use the process of successive magnification in which we visualise the numbers through a magnifying glass on the number line.
Example:
Step 1: The number lies between 4 and 5, so we divide it into 10 equal parts. Now for the first decimal place, we will mark the number between 4.2 and 4.3.
Step 2: Now we will divide it into 10 equal parts again. The second decimal place will be between 4.26 and 4.27.
Step 3: Now we will again divide it into 10 equal parts. The third decimal place will be between 4.262 and 4.263.
Step 4: By doing the same process again we will mark the point at 4.2626.
Operations on Real Numbers
1. The sum, difference, product and quotient of two rational numbers will be rational.
Example:
2. If we add or subtract a rational number with an irrational number then the outcome will be irrational.
Example:
If 5 is a rational number and √7 is an irrational number then 5 + √7 and 5 – √7 are irrational numbers.
3. If we multiply or divide a non-zero rational number with an irrational number then also the outcome will be irrational.
Example:
If 7 is a rational number and √5 is an irrational number then 7√7 and 7/√5 are irrational numbers.
4. The sum, difference, product and quotient of two irrational numbers could be rational or irrational.
Example:
Finding Roots of a Positive Real Number ‘x’ geometrically and mark it on the Number Line
To find √x geometrically
1. First of all, mark the distance x unit from point A on the line so that AB = x unit.
2. From B mark a point C with the distance of 1 unit, so that BC = 1 unit.
3. Take the midpoint of AC and mark it as O. Then take OC as the radius and draw a semicircle.
4. From the point B draw a perpendicular BD which intersects the semicircle at point D.
The length of BD= √x.
To mark the position of √x on the number line, we will take AC as the number line, with B as zero. So C is point 1 on the number line.
Now we will take B as the centre and BD as the radius, and draw the arc on the number line at point E.
Now E is √x on the number line.
Identities Related to Square Roots
If p and q are two positive real numbers

1. Simplify

2. Simplify
We will use the identity
Rationalising the Denominator
Rationalize the denominator means to convert the denominator containing square root term into a rational number by finding the equivalent fraction of the given fraction.
For which we can use the identities of the real numbers.
Example:
Rationalise the denominator of 7/(7- √3).
Solution:
We will use the identityhere.
Laws of Exponents for Real Numbers
If we have a and b as the base and m and n as the exponents, then
1. am × an =am+n
2. (am)n = amn
4. am bm = (ab)m
5.a0 = 1
6. a1 = a
7. 1/an = a-n
Let a > 0 be a real number and n a positive integer.
Let a > 0 be a real number. Let m and n be integers such that m and n have no common factors other than 1, and n > 0. Then,
