REAL NUMBERS
Prime Numbers:
The natural numbers greater than 1 which are divisible by 1 and the number itself are called prime numbers,
Prime numbers have two factors i.e., 1 and the number itself For example, 2, 3, 5, 7 & 11 etc.
● 1 is not a prime number as it has only one factor.
Composite Numbers:
The natural numbers which are divisible by 1, itself and any other number or numbers are called composite
numbers. For example, 4, 6, 8, 9, 10 etc.
Note: 1 is neither prime nor a composite number.
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.
By Prime Factorisation Method
HCF=Product of the smallest power of each common prime factor in the numbers. LCM= Product of the
greatest power of each prime factor, involved in the numbers.
For any two positive integers a and b, HCF (a, b) × LCM (a, b) = a × b.
Coprime: Two integers are called coprime if their HCF is 1.
To prove Irrationality of Numbers:
Rational Numbers: Real numbers of the form p/q, q ≠ 0, p, q ∈ I are rational numbers.
● All integers can be expressed as rational, for example, 5 =5/1.
● Decimal expansion of rational numbers terminating or non-terminating recurring.
Irrational numbers: Real numbers which cannot be expressed in the form p/q, q≠0 and p, q ∈ I are
irrational numbers.
● Roots of primes like √2, √3, √5 etc. are irrational.
● Their decimal expansions are non-terminating and non-recurring.
Theorem: Let p be a prime number. If p divides a, then p divides a, where a is a positive integer.
● 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.
● The sum or difference of a rational and a rational number is rational.
● The product or quotient of a rational number and a rational number is rational.

Polynomial is the algebraic expression whose each variable has the power of a whole number.
Degree of a Polynomial:
If p(x) is a polynomial in x, the highest power of x in p(x) is called the degree of the polynomial p(x). For
example, 4x + 2 is a polynomial in the variable x of degree 1
● A polynomial of degree 1 is called a linear polynomial.
● A polynomial of degree 2 is called a quadratic polynomial.
● A polynomial of degree 3 is called a cubic polynomial.
Value of a Polynomial:
If p(x) is a polynomial in x, and if k is any real number, then the value obtained by replacing x by k in p(x),
is called the value of p(x) at x = k, and is denoted by p(k).
E.g. the value of p(x) = x² –3x – 4 at x = –1 is given by p(–1) = (–1)²–{3 × (–1)} – 4 = 0
Zero of a Polynomial:
It is the value of variable for which the polynomial becomes equal to zero. For example,
if p(x) = 2x + 3, then p(x) = 0 gives us 2x+ 3 = 0, i.e., x = -3/2 is the zero.
Geometrical Meaning of the Zeroes of a Polynomial
● the linear polynomial ax + b, a≠0, has exactly one zero, namely, the x-coordinate of the point where
the graph of y = ax + b i.e. -b/a intersects the x-axis.
● For any quadratic polynomial ax² + bx + c, a≠0, the graph of the corresponding equation
y = ax²+ bx + c has one of the two shapes either open upwards like u or open downwards like n
depending on whether a > 0 or a < 0. (These curves are called parabolas.)
Remark: In general, given a polynomial p(x) of degree n, the graph of y = p(x) intersects the x-axis at at
most n points. Therefore, a polynomial p(x) of degree n has at most n zeroes.
Relationship between Zeroes and Coefficients of a Polynomial
A. For Linear Polynomial
● zero of a linear polynomial ax + b is -b/a.
B. For Quadratic Polynomial
❖ sum of zeroes = - (Coefficient of x)/Coefficient of x² i.e. + =-b/a
❖ product of zeroes = constant term/Coefficient of x² i.e. =c/a
Whenever sum of zeroes and product of zeroes are known,
quadratic polynomial = k {x² - (sum of zeroes) x + product of zeroes}, where k≠0.
3. QUADRATIC EQUATIONS
QUADRATIC EQUATIONS: The equation corresponding to a quadratic polynomial P(x) is called a
quadratic equation in variable x. P(x):ax² + bx + c =0, a ≠ 0, a, b, c ∈ R is known as the standard form of
quadratic equation.
ROOT OR SOLUTION OF A QUADRATIC EQUATION:
A real number α is called a root of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c =0, a ≠ 0 if aα²+ bα + c =0. In this
case, we also say x = α is a solution of the quadratic equation.
For instance, 1 is the root of the equation x² — 2x + 1 =0 because it satisfies the given equation.
NOTE:
1. The zeroes of the quadratic polynomial ax² + bx + c and the roots of the quadratic equation
ax² + bx + c = 0 are the same.
2. Roots of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c =0 can be found by factoring it into two linear
factors and equating each factor to zero.
DISCRIMINANT: The expression b² — 4ac is called the discriminant of the quadratic equation.
SOLUTION OF A QUADRATIC EQUATION BY DISCRIMINANT METHOD:
Let quadratic equation be ax²+ bx + c = 0
Step 1. Find D = b² — 4ac.
2
−𝑏± 𝑏 −4𝑎𝑐
Step 2. (i) If D > 0, roots are given by x =(-b + √D) / 2a , (-b – √D) / 2a i.e. 𝑥 = 2𝑎
(ii) If the D = 0 equation has equal roots and the root is given by x = -b / 2a.
(iii) If D < 0, the equation has no real roots.
NATURE OF ROOTS
(i) If b²— 4ac > 0, then the roots are real and distinct.
(ii) If b²— 4ac = 0, the roots are real and equal or coincident.
(iii) If b² — 4ac <0, the roots are not real (imaginary roots).
FORMATION OF QUADRATIC EQUATION WHEN TWO ROOTS ARE GIVEN
If α and β are two roots of equation, then the required quadratic equation can be formed as
x²— (α + β) x + αβ =0
NOTE:
Let α and β be two roots of the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0 then
(i) Sum of Roots= - the coefficient of x / the coefficient of x² i.e. α + β = – b / a and
(ii) Product of Roots = constant term / the coefficient of x²⇒ αβ = c / a
METHOD OF SOLVING WORD PROBLEMS:
Step 1: Translating the word problem into Mathematical form (symbolic form) according to the given
condition
Step 2: Form the word problem into Quadratic equations and solve them.
4. PAIR OF LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES
Linear Equation in Two Variables:
It is an equation of the form ax+by+c=0 where a, b and c are real numbers and a, b are not zero together.
The behaviour of lines representing a pair of linear equations
1. the lines may intersect in a single point. In this case, the pair of equations has a unique solution
(consistent pair of equations).
2. the lines may be parallel. In this case, the equations have no solution (inconsistent pair of equations).
3. the lines may be coincident. In this case, the equations have infinitely many solutions [dependent
(consistent) pair of equations].
Solution of a Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables:It is the value(s) of x and y which satisfies both
the equations simultaneously.

Converse of Thales Theorem: If a line divides any two sides of a triangle in the same ratio, then the line is
parallel to the third side. In the fig.

Criteria for Similarity of Triangles
(i) AAA Similarity:
If in two triangles, corresponding angles are equal, then their
corresponding sides are in the same ratio (or proportion) and
hence the two triangles. => Δ ABC ~ Δ DEF
OR
AA Similarity:
If two angles of one triangle are respectively equal to two angles of another triangle (by the
angle sum property of a triangle their third angles will also be equal), then the two triangles are
similar.
(ii) SSS Similarity: If in two triangles, sides of one triangle
are proportional to (i.e., in the same ratio of) the sides of
the other triangle, then their corresponding angles are
equal and hence the two triangles are similar.
AB/DE=BC/EF=AC/DF=2/3 =>Δ ABC ~ Δ DEF
(iii) SAS Similarity: If one angle of a triangle is equal to
one angle of the other triangle and the sides including
these angles are proportional, then the two triangles
are similar. AB/DE=AC/DF=2/3 and∠ A (included
between the sides AB and AC) = ∠ D (included
between the sides DE and DF) =>Δ ABC ~ Δ DEF.
7. COORDINATE GEOMETRY
● The distance of a point from the y-axis is called its x-coordinate, or abscissa.
● The distance of a point from the x-axis is called its y-coordinate, or ordinate.
● The coordinates of a point on the x-axis are of the form (x, 0), and of a point on the y-axis are of the
form
(0, y).
Distance Formula:
the distance between the points P (x1, y1) and Q (x2, y2) is
2 2 2 2
PQ = (𝑥2 − 𝑥1) + (𝑦2 − 𝑦1) or (𝑥1 − 𝑥2) + (𝑦1 − 𝑦2)
i) To find the ratio of division, let the ratio is k:1 and use the formula ( 𝑘𝑥2+𝑥1
𝑘+1
,
𝑘𝑦2+𝑦1
𝑘+1 ).
ii) The mid-point of a line segment divides the line segment in the ratio 1 : 1. So the mid-
point of the line segment joining (x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) is ( 𝑥2+𝑥1

,
𝑦2+𝑦1

To bisect means to divide into two equal parts and to trisect means to divide into three equal
parts.
8. INTRODUCTION TO TRIGONOMETRY
● The word ‘trigonometry’ is derived from the Greek words ‘tri’ (meaning three), ‘gon’ (meaning
sides) and ‘metron’ (meaning measure).
Trigonometry is the study of relationships between the sides and angles of a triangle.
Trigonometric Ratios (T-ratios) of an acute angle in a right triangle express the relationship
between the angle and the length of its sides.
● Perpendicular (p) is the side opposite to the angle while base (b) is the side adjacent to the angle.
Hypotenuse (h) is the longest side.
Types of T-ratios
S No Trigonometric Ratios Abbreviation
1 sine of ∠ A sin A
2 cosine of ∠ A cos A
3 tangent of ∠ A tan A
4 cosecant of ∠ A cosec A
5 secant of ∠ A sec A
6 cotangent of ∠ A cot A
● sin A is used as an abbreviation for ‘the sine of the angle A’. sin A is not the product of ‘sin’ and A.
‘sin’ separated from A has no meaning. Same is applicable for other ratios.
● The Greek letters θ (theta), ɸ (phi) etc. are used to denote angles.
● sin θ=p/h, cos θ=b/h, tan θ=p/b {pandit badri prasad hare har bol}
cosec θ=1/sin θ = h/p, sec θ=1/cos θ=h/b, cot θ=1/tanθ=b / p
● the values of the trigonometric ratios of an angle do not vary with the lengths of the sides of the
triangle, if the angle remains the same.
● sin2 A, cos2 A, etc., are written in place of (sin A)2 , (cos A)2 , etc., respectively.
But cosec A = (sin A)-1 ≠ sin-1 A (it is called sine inverse A). sin-1 A has a different meaning.
● If in a right triangle ABC, sin A = 1/3, then this means that
BC/AC=1/3, i.e., the lengths of the sides BC and AC of the
triangle ABC are in the ratio 1: 3 (see Fig.). So if BC = k, then
AC=3k, where k is any positive number. To determine other
trigonometric ratios for the angle A, we need to find the length of
the third side AB.
● Since the hypotenuse is the longest side in a right triangle, the value of sin A or cos A is always less
than 1 (or, in particular, equal to 1).

[Link] APPLICATIONS OF TRIGONOMETRY
The line of sight is the line drawn from the eye of an observer to the point in the object viewed
by the observer.
The angle of elevation of an object viewed, is the angle formed by the line of sight with the
horizontal when it is above the horizontal level, i.e., the case when we raise our head to look at
the object.
The angle of depression of an object viewed, is the angle formed by the line of sight with the
horizontal when it is below the horizontal level, i.e., the case when we lower our head to look at
the object.
10. CIRCLES
In fig. (i), 𝑃𝑄⃡ is a non-intersecting line.
In fig. (ii), 𝑃𝑄⃡ is a secant i.e. the line intersecting a circle at two points.
In fig. (ii), 𝑃𝑄⃡ is a tangent to a circle i.e. the line that intersects the circle at only one point , where A is
The length of the segment of the tangent from the external point P and the point of contact with the circle is
called the length of the tangent from the point P to the circle.
Theorem: The lengths of tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
Given: A circle with centre O, a point P lying outside the circle and two tangents
PQ, PR on the circle from P.
To prove: PQ = PR.
To construct: Join OP, OQ and OR.
Proof: ∠ OQP = ∠ ORP = 900 (The tangent is perpendicular to the radius.) Now in right triangles OQP and
ORP,
By Pythagoras Theorem,
PQ2 = OP2 – OQ2
= OP2 – OR2 (As OQ = OR=Radius)
= PR2
⇨ PQ = PR Hence proved.
Note: In right triangles OQP and ORP,
OQ = OR (Radii of the same circle) and
OP = OP (Common)
=>∆ OQP ≅ ∆ ORP (RHS)
=>PQ = PR (CPCT), ∠ OPQ = ∠ OPR(CPCT), i.e., OP is the angle bisector of ∠ QPR.
and ∠ POQ = ∠ POR(CPCT), i.e., OP is the angle bisector of ∠ QOR.
11. AREAS RELATED TO CIRCLES
● The portion (or part) of the circular region enclosed by
two radii and the corresponding arc is called a sector of
the circle and the portion (or part) of the circular region
enclosed between a chord and the corresponding arc is
called a segment of the circle.

Measures of Central Tendency
(i) Mean: The mean (or average) of observations is the sum of the values of all the observations
divided by the total number of observations.
Direct Method: If x1, x2,..., xn are observations(class marks or mid values) with respective frequencies f1 , f2
, . . ., fn , then this means observation x1 occurs f1 times, x2 occurs f2 times, and so on.
Now, the sum of the values of all the observations = f1 x1 + f2 x2 + . . . + fnxn, and the number of observations
= f1 + f2 + . . . + fn. So, the mean,
𝑛
F = frequency of median class, CF = cumulative frequency of class JUST preceding the median class,
h = class size (assuming class size to be equal)
Remarks: The data needs to be converted to continuous (exclusive) classes for finding the median and
mode.
Empirical Relationship: 3 Median = Mode + 2 Mean

Outcome means a result. Event(E) is the collection of outcome(s).
Experiment: An action which gives a result.
Random Experiment: An experiment with following two conditions:
(i) it must have outcomes and (ii) the outcomes cannot be predicted in advance.
Equally Likely Outcomes: The outcomes which have same chance to occur.
𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑓𝑎𝑣𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑎𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠
The probability of an event E, P(E) = 𝑁𝑢𝑚𝑏𝑒𝑟 𝑜𝑓 𝑎𝑙𝑙 𝑝𝑜𝑠𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑜𝑢𝑡𝑐𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑠
Remarks:
1. An event having only one outcome of the experiment is called an elementary event.
2. The sum of the probabilities of all the elementary events of an experiment is 1.
3. The event 𝐸, representing ‘not E’, is called the complement of the event E. We also say that 𝐸 and E
are complementary events. P(E) + P(𝐸) = 1
4. The probability of an event which is impossible to occur is 0. Such an event is called an impossible
event.
5. The probability of an event which is sure (or certain) to occur is 1. Such an event is called a sure
event or a certain event.
6. The number of favourable outcomes is always less than or equal to the number of all possible
outcomes. Therefore, 0 ≤ P(E) ≤ 1
