 MTH001 short notes
Question: What is interest?
Answer: Interest is the cost of borrowing money.

Question: What is simple interest?

Answer: Simple interest = p * i * n where: p = principal (original amount
borrowed or loaned) i = interest rate for one period n = number of periods

Question: What is compound Interest?

Answer: Compound interest is calculated each period on the original principal and
all interest accumulated during past periods. Although the interest may be
stated as a yearly rate, the compounding periods can be yearly,
semiannually, quarterly, or even continuously. You can think of
compound interest as a series of back-to-back simple interest contracts.
The interest earned in each period is added to the principal of the
previous period to become the principal for the next period. For example,
you borrow $10,000 for three years at 5% annual interest compounded
annually.

Question: What is Present Value?

Answer: Present Value is an amount today that is equivalent to a future payment,
or series of payments, that has been discounted by an appropriate interest
rate. Since money has time value, the present value of a promised future
amount is worth less the longer you have to wait to receive it. The
difference between the two depends on the number of compounding
periods involved and the interest (discount) rate. PV = FV [ 1 / (1 + i)n ]
Where: PV = Present Value FV = Future Value i = Interest Rate Per
Period n = Number of Compounding Periods

Question: What is Future Value?

Answer: Future Value is the amount of money that an investment made today (the
present value) will grow to by some future date. Since money has time
value, we naturally expect the future value to be greater than the present
value. The difference between the two depends on the number of
compounding periods involved and the going interest rate. FV = PV (1 +
i)n Where: FV = Future Value PV = Present Value i = Interest Rate per
Period n = Number of Compounding Periods

Question: What is Accumulated Value?

Answer: What your money is worth after it earns interest, dividends, or capital
gains. Includes the amount you started with, plus any increase.

Question: How to solve linear equations?

Answer: The most important consideration with equations: No matter what kind of

Come & Join Us at [Link]

 equation you're dealing with -- linear or otherwise -- whatever you do to
the one side, you must do the exact same thing to the other side!
Equations are like toddlers in this respect: You have to be totally, totally
fair! Whatever you do to an equation, do the S A M E thing to B O T H
sides of that equation!

Question: What are the basic algebraic operations?

Answer: We can say that the “basic” algebraic operations you must master are: •
addition (of two or more terms or expressions) • subtraction (of one term
or expression from another) • multiplication (of one term or expression
by another) In the case of multiplication, it turns out to be useful not only
to start with two expressions and be able to write down the result of
multiplying them together, but also, to be able to start with an expression
and rewrite it as the product of two or more factors. • division (of one
term or expression by another – this leads to the whole subject of working
with fractions containing literal symbols.) • manipulating radicals or
roots, particularly square roots, of algebraic expressions

Question: What is ratio?

Answer: A ratio is a comparison of two numbers. We generally separate the two
numbers in the ratio with a colon (:). Suppose we want to write the ratio
of 8 and 12. We can write this as 8:12 or as a fraction 8/12, and we say
the ratio is eight to twelve.

Question: What is proportion?

Answer: A proportion is an equation with a ratio on each side. It is a statement that
two ratios are equal. 3/4 = 6/8 is an example of a proportion.

Question: What is rate?

Answer: A rate is a ratio that expresses how long it takes to do something, such as
traveling a certain distance. To walk 3 kilometers in one hour is to walk
at the rate of 3 km/h. The fraction expressing a rate has units of distance
in the numerator and units of time in the denominator.

Question: What is statistics?

Answer: Statistics as a discipline is the development and application of methods to
collect, analyze and interpret data. Modern statistical methods involve the
design and analysis of experiments and surveys, the quantification of
biological, social and scientific phenomenon and the application of
statistical principles to understand more about the world around us.

Question: What is arithmetic mean?

Answer: Arithmetic mean is simple averages of numbers that you have. e.g if you

Come & Join Us at [Link]

 4 numbers as 2,3,5,1 then arithmetic mean of these number is 2+3+5+1
divided by 4. so arithmetic mean for above numbers is 11/4=2.75 The
arithmetic mean of a set of values is the quantity commonly called "the"
mean or the average.

Question: What is frequency distribution?

Answer: A frequency distribution shows the number of observations falling into
each of several ranges of values. Frequency distributions are portrayed as
frequency tables, histograms, or polygons. Frequency distributions can
show either the actual number of observations falling in each range or the
percentage of observations. In the latter instance, the distribution is called
a relative frequency distribution.

Question: What is purpose of frequency distribution?

Answer: The purpose of a frequency distribution is to summarize and organize a
set of data. Presenting data in a frequency distribution makes inspection
of the data set much more manageable than presenting the entire set of
raw data. A frequency distribution can be considered a type of descriptive
statistic.

Question: What is cumulative frequency?

Answer: A distribution that indicates the category or score value and the
cumulative frequency (cum f) or proportion/percentage (cum p/cum %) of
the total number of cases below the upper real limit of the associated
category or score value. Cumulative distributions are particularly helpful
when determining Percentile Ranks and Percentile Points.

Question: What types of frequency distribution table are?

Answer: In the simplest form, the table consists of two columns, one for the score
value (X) and a second indicating the number of observations for the
score value (f). Note: ?f = N, where N is total number of observations.
The X values should be: 1. Continuous 2. Descending To find the sum of
the entire set of scores, you can multiply the score value, X, by the
number of times the score value was observed, f, and sum these products.

Question: What are the measures of central tendency?

Answer: We saw that there are several ways to define central tendency. This
section defines the three most common measures of central tendency: the
mean, the median, and the mode.

Question: How do the various measures of central tendency compare with each
other?
Answer: The three most commonly-used measures of central tendency are the
following. Mean The sum of the values divided by the number of values--
often called the "average." • Add all of the values together. • Divide by
the number of values to obtain the mean. Example: The mean of 7, 12,
24, 20, 19 is (7 + 12 + 24 + 20 + 19) / 5 = 16.4. Median The value which

Come & Join Us at [Link]

 divides the values into two equal halves, with half of the values being
lower than the median and half higher than the median. • Sort the values
into ascending order. • If you have an odd number of values, the median
is the middle value. • If you have an even number of values, the median is
the arithmetic mean (see above) of the two middle values. Example: The
median of the same five numbers (7, 12, 24, 20, 19) is 19. Mode The
most frequently-occurring value (or values). • Calculate the frequencies
for all of the values in the data. • The mode is the value (or values) with
the highest frequency. Example: For individuals having the following
ages -- 18, 18, 19, 20, 20, 20, 21, and 23, the mode is 20. Check your
understanding of these concepts by calculating the mean, median, and
mode of the following three sets of numbers.

Question: What is range?

Answer: Range is the difference between the highest and lowest data element.

Question: What is Variance?

Answer: Variance is the third method of measuring dispersion. Compare the two
variance formulae with their corresponding standard deviation formulae,
and we see that variance is just the square of the standard deviation.

Question: What is mean deviation?

Answer: The mean deviation (also called the mean absolute deviation) is the mean
of the absolute deviations of a set of data about the data's mean.

Question: What is quartile deviation?

Answer: It is based on the lower quartile Q1 and the upper quartileQ3. The
difference Q3 – Q1 is called the inter quartile range. The difference Q3 –
Q1 divided by 2 is called semi-inter-quartile range or the quartile
deviation. Thus Quartile Deviation (Q.D) = (Q3 – Q1) / 2. The quartile
deviation is a slightly better measure of absolute dispersion than the
range. But it ignores the observation on the tails. If we take difference
samples from a population and calculate their quartile deviations, their
values are quite likely to be sufficiently different. This is called sampling
fluctuation. It is not a popular measure of dispersion. The quartile
deviation calculated from the sample data does not help us to draw any
conclusion (inference) about the quartile deviation in the population.

Question: What is probability?

Answer: An experiment is a situation involving chance or probability that leads to
results called outcomes. P(A) = The Number Of Ways Event A Can
Occur / The Total Number Of Possible Outcomes The probability of
event A is the number of ways event A can occur divided by the total
number of possible outcomes. Let's take a look at a slight modification of
the problem from the top of the page. Example: A spinner has 4 equal
sectors colored yellow, blue, green and red. After spinning the spinner,
what is the probability of landing on each color? Outcomes: The possible

Come & Join Us at [Link]

 outcomes of this experiment are yellow, blue, green, and red.
Probabilities: P(yellow) = number of ways to land on yellow / total
number of colors = ¼ P(blue) = number of ways to land on blue / total
number of colors = ¼ P(green) = number of ways to land on green / total
number of colors = ¼ P(red) = number of ways to land on red / total
number of colors = ¼

Question: A pair of dice is rolled. Let A denote the event “the sum shown is 5” and
B the event “the two dice show the same number”. Find a). P (A / B) b).
P (B / A) c). P (A / B`)
Answer: A = {(1, 4), (2, 3), (3, 2), (4, 1) B = {(1, 1), (2, 2), (3, 3), (4, 4), (5, 5), (6,
6)} B` = {(1, 2), (1, 3), (1, 4), ----} A n B = empty A n B` = {(1, 4), (2,
3), (3, 2), (4, 1)} P (A) = 4 / 36, P (B) = 6 / 36, P (B`) = 30 / 36. P (A n B)
= 0 / 36 = 0 P (A n B`) = 4 / 36 a) P (A / B) = P (A n B) / P (B) = 0 b) P
(B / A) = undefined c) P (A / B`) = 4/30 = 1/15

Question: What is average deviation?

Answer: The average of absolute deviations of the individual values from the
median or from the mean is called average deviation.

Question: What deos measure of dispersion mean?

Answer: Measure of dispersion is a measurement of the spread or variability in a
set of scores.

Question: When does the matrix multiplication possible?

Answer: Matrix multiplication is only possible if the row matrix and the column
matrix have the same number of elements.

Question: What is meant by Discrete?

Answer: A type of data is discrete if there are only a finite number of values
possible. Discrete data usually occurs in a case where there are only a
certain number of values, or when we are counting something (using
whole numbers). For example, 5 students, 10 trees etc.

Question:
Answer:

Question: What discrete objects are?

Answer: The objects that can be counted in whole numbers are called discrete
objects

Question: What is a proposition?

Answer: A sentence that is either true or false, but not both, is called a proposition.
Or you can say that an unambiguously true or false assertion is called
proposition for example 2+2=4

Question: What is statement?
Answer: A proposition is a statement that is either true or false.

Question: When two compound propositions are logically equivalent?

Answer: When they have the same truth table values no matter what truth values
their constituent propositions have.

Question: How can we differentiate between Inclusive Or and Exclusive Or?

Answer: Inclusive OR A disjunction for which either or both statements may be
true For example, the use of the word or in "A triangle can be defined as
a polygon with three sides or as a polygon with three vertices" is
inclusive. Either or both options can be true. Exclusive OR A disjunction
for which either statement may be true but not both For example, the use
of the word or in "This morning I can go to school or I can stay home" is
exclusive. Either option may be true but not both.

Question: What is the meaning of declarative sentence?

Answer: Declarative sentences are the sentences that state some fact. For Example:
• Islamabad is the capital of Pakistan • 2+2=4 • He is very rich

Question: Difference between sentence and statement.

Answer: A sentence is a statement if it has a truth value otherwise this sentence is
not a statement. By truth value I mean if I write a sentence "Lahore is
capital of Punjab" Its truth value is "true" because yes Lahore is a capital
of Punjab. So the above sentence is a statement. Now if I write a sentence
"How are you" Then you cannot answer in yes or no. So this sentence is
not a statement. Every statement is a sentence but converse is not true.

Question: What is the truth table?

Answer: Truth table is a table which describes the truth values of a proposition. Or
we can say that Truth table displays the complete behavior of a
proposition. Therefore the purpose of truth table is to identify its truth
values. A statement or a proposition in Discrete math can easily identify
its truth value by the truth table. Truth tables are especially valuable in
the determination of the truth values of propositions constructed from
simpler propositions. The main steps while making a truth table are "first
judge about the statement that how much symbols (or variables) it
contain. If it has n symbols then total number of combinations=2 raise to
power n. These all the combinations give the truth value of the statement
from where we can judge that either the truthness of a statement or
proposition is true or false. In all the combinations you have to put values
either "F" or "T" against the variables. But note it that no row can be
repeated. For example "Ali is happy and healthy" we denote "Ali is
happy" by p and "Ali is healthy" by q so the above statement contain two
variables or symbols. The total no of combinations are =2 raise to power
2(as n=2) =4 which tell us the truthness of a statement.

Question: What is the De Morgan's law?
Answer: De Morgan law states “Negation of the conjunction of two statements is
logically equivalent to the disjunction of their negation and Negation of
the disjunction of two statements is logically equivalent to the
conjunction of their negation". i.e. ~ (p^q) = ~p v ~q and ~(p v q)= ~p ^
~q For example: " The bus was late and Jim is waiting "(this is an
example of conjunction of two statements) Now apply negation on this
statement you will get through De Morgan's law " The bus was not late or
Jim is not waiting" (this is the disjunction of negation of two statements).
Now see both statements are logically equivalent. That’s what De
Morgan wants to say

Question: What is Tautology?

Answer: A tautology is a statement form that is always true regardless of the truth
values of the statement variables i.e. If you want to prove that (p v q) is
tautology ,you have to show that all values of statement (p v q) are true
regardless of the values of p and q. If all the values of the statement (p v
q) is not true then this statement is not tautology.

Question: What is converse, Inverse and contrapositive

Answer: Inverse, converse and contrapositive are also statements which are made
from simple conditional statement. The converse of the conditional
statement p --> q is q --> p .i.e. now conclusion become hypothesis and
hypothesis become conclusion. The contrapositive of the conditional
statement p --> q is ~ q --> ~ p i.e. Take the negation of conclusion and
made it hypothesis and similarly take the negation of conclusion and
made it conclusion. The inverse of the conditional statement p --> q is ~p
--> ~q

Question: What is p implies q?

Answer: p--- >q means to "go from hypothesis to a conclusion" where p is a
hypothesis and q is a conclusion. And note it that this statement is
conditioned because the "truthness of statement p is conditioned on the
truthness of statement q". Now the truth value of p--->q is false only
when p is true and q is false otherwise it will always true e.g. consider an
implication "if you do your work on Sunday, I will give you ten rupees."
Here p=you do your work on Sunday (is the hypothesis), q=I will give
you ten rupees (the conclusion or promise). Now the truth value of p----
>q will false only when the promise is braked i.e. you do your work on
Sunday but you do not get ten rupees. In all other conditions the promise
is not braked.

Question: Difference between the converse and the contrapositive of a conditional

proposition
Answer: The converse of a conditional propositions merely the reverses the roles
of p and q, where p and q are propositions, whereas contrapositive

Come & Join Us at [Link]

 reverses the roles of p and q and negates each of them.

Question: Is a conditional statement logically equivalent to its converse and

contrapositive?
Answer: In general a conditional statement is not logically equivalent to its
converse but it is logically equivalent to its contrapositive.

Question: What is difference between the converse and inverse?

Answer: The converse of a conditional statement is formed by interchanging the
hypothesis and conclusion of the original statement. In other words, the
parts of the sentence change places. The words "if" and "then" do not
move. It is important to remember that the converse does NOT
necessarily have the same truth value as the original conditional
statement. Example: Conditional: "If the space shuttle was launched, then
a cloud of smoke was seen." Converse: "If a cloud of smoke was seen,
then the space shuttle was launched." The inverse of a conditional
statement is formed by negating the hypothesis and negating the
conclusion of the original statement. In other words, the word "not" is
added to both parts of the sentence. It is important to remember that the
inverse does NOT necessarily have the same truth value as the original
conditional statement. Example: Conditional: "If you grew up in Alaska,
then you have seen snow." Inverse: "If you did not grow up in Alaska,
then you have not seen snow

Question: What is the meaning of implication?

Answer: Implication means "Condition of being implied". We put some condition
on a statement to be true or false e.g. If you got A in class then you will
go for tour. We put a condition that for going on tour you should get A.

Question: What is the basic difference of Tautology and contradiction?

Answer: A compound statement that is always true, no matter what the truth
values of the propositions that occur in it, is called a tautology ,whereas a
compound statement that is always false, no matter what the truth values
of the propositions that occur in it , is called a contradiction.

Question: Describe Idempotent Law.

Answer: Idempotent Law, The property of operations in mathematics and
computer science which means that multiple applications of the operation
do not change the result is called Idempotent.

Question: What is absurdity or contradiction?

Answer: A statement which is always false is called an absurdity.

Question: What is argument?

Answer: An argument is a sequence of statements aimed at demonstrating the truth
of an assertion. For example If x is a real number such that x<-2 or x>2

Come & Join Us at [Link]

 then x^2>4, Therefore, if x^2<_4, then x>_-2 and x<_2.

Question: Define “Critical rows”

Answer: In which all the premises are true in a truth table are called critical rows.

Question: What is a valid and invalid argument?

Answer: As "an argument is a list of statements called premises (or assumptions or
hypotheses) which is followed by a statement called the conclusion.” A
valid argument is one in which the premises entail (or imply) the
conclusion. 1) It cannot have true premises and a false conclusion. 2) If
its premises are true, its conclusion must be true. 3) If its conclusion is
false, it must have at least one false premise. 4) All of the information in
the conclusion is also in the premises. And an invalid argument is one in
which the premises do not entail (or imply) the conclusion. It can have
true premises and a false conclusion. Even if its premises are true, it may
have a false conclusion. Even if its conclusion is false, it may have true
premises. There is information in the conclusion that is not in the
premises. To know them better, try to solve more and more examples and
exercises.

Question: Explain Valid Arguments.

Answer: When some statement is said on the basis of a set of other statements,
meaning that this statement is derived from that set of statements, this is
called an argument. The formal definition is “an argument is a list of
statements called “premises” (or assumptions or hypotheses) which is
followed by a statement called the “conclusion.” A valid argument is one
in which the premises imply the conclusion. 1) It cannot have true
premises and a false conclusion. 2) If its premises are true, its conclusion
must be true. 3) If its conclusion is false, it must have at least one false
premise. 4) All of the information in the conclusion is also in the
premises.

Question: How to check validity and invalidity of argument through diagram.

Answer: To check an argument is valid or not you can also use Venn diagram. We
identify some sets from the premises. Then represent those sets in the
form of diagram. If diagram satisfies the conclusion then it is a valid
argument otherwise invalid e.g. if we have three premises S1: all my
friends are musicians S2: John is my friend. S3: None of my neighbor is
musicians. Conclusion John is not my neighbor. Now we have three sets
Friends, Musicians, neighbors. Now you see from premises 1 and 2 that
friends are subset of musicians’ .From premises 3 see that neighbor is an
individual set that is disjoint from set musicians. Now represent then in
form of Venn diagram. Musicians neighbor Friends Now sees that john
lies in set friends which is disjoint from set neighbors. So their
intersection is empty. Which shows that john is not his neighbor. In that
way you can check the validity of arguments.

Question: A set is define a well define collection of distinct objects so why an
empty set is called a set although it has no element?
Answer: Some time we have collection of zero objects and we call them empty
sets e.g. set of natural numbers greater than 5 and less than 5. A = {x
belongs to N / 5< x < 5} Now see this is a set which have collection of
elements which are greater than 5 and less than 5 (from natural number)

Question: Define Fraction.

Answer: Any number which can not represent as a whole number is called a
fraction. For example ¾, 5/3 etc

Question: What is the difference between rational number and Irrational number?
Answer: Rational number: Any number which can represent in the form of p\q
where p, q belongs to set of integers and q?0. As 7, ? etc Also a
terminating, recurring decimal represents a rational number. Irrational
number: Any number which can not represent in the form of p\q where p,
q belongs to set of integers and q?0. For example ?, 1\3 etc Also a non
terminating, non recurring decimal represents an irrational number. So set
of irrational numbers= Q`= {numbers which are not rational}

Question: Define “Set of real numbers”.

Answer: The union of rational and irrational numbers forms the set of real
numbers. Thus a real number is either rational or irrational e.g. 2, 1\2,
0.54326, etc Where set of rational and irrational numbers is defined as
Rational number: Any number which can represent in the form of p\q
where p, q belongs to set of integers and q?0, As 7, ? etc Also a
terminating, recurring decimal represents a rational number. Irrational
number: Any number which can not represent in the form of p\q where p,
q belongs to set of integers and q?0, for example ?, 1\3 etc Also a non
terminating, non recurring decimal represents an irrational number. So set
of irrational numbers= Q`= {numbers which are not rational}

Question: Set of complex numbers.

Answer: If x and y are real numbers, then x + iy is called a complex number. x is
called the real part and y is called the imaginary [Link] complex
number x + iy is also written as an ordered pair (x, y) and is denoted by z.
i.e., z = x + iy where i= (-1) ^1\2. Examples 2+4!,5-3!,2+2^1/2! etc.

Question: What are the properties of complex numbers?

Answer: The Properties of Complex numbers are: Commutative Law for Addition,
Commutative Law for multiplication, Additive Identity Exists,
Multiplicative Identity Exist, Reciprocals (Multiplicative Inverses) Exist
for nonzero complex numbers, Negatives (Additive Inverses) Exist for all
complex numbers, Non Zero Product Law.

Question: What is the Equality of Complex numbers?

Come & Join Us at [Link]

Answer: Two complex numbers are equal if and only if their corresponding real
parts and imaginary parts are separately equal. i.e., a+ib=x+iy if and only
if a=x and b=y

Question: What is an improper subset?

Answer: An improper subset is identical to the set of which it is a subset. Or in
other words any set is a subset of itself and it is called an improper
subset. For example: Set A: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} Set B: {1, 2, 3, 4, 5} Set B is
an improper subset of Set A and vice versa.

Question: Is an empty set subset of every set?

Answer: Yes, an empty set is the subset of every set. The subset of an empty set is
only an empty set itself

Question: B is a proper subset of C if the cardinal number of C is 10 what is the

maximum number of elements in B?
Answer: Since B is subset of C so every element of B is contained in C and given
B is a proper subset of C so by definition every element of B is contained
in C and B is not the same as C. The cardinal number of a set is the
number of elements in the set. In this case, C has 10 elements, so B has at
most 9 elements.

Question: Why null set is not considered as an element of any set even though it is a
subset of every set?
Answer: Consider a set say, A = {1, 2, 3, 4} of 4 elements. The subsets of A are
:{},{1}, {2}, {3},{4},{1,2},{1,3},{1,4},{2,3},{2,4}{3,4},{1,2,3},
{1,2,4} ,{2,3,4},{1,3,4} {1,2,3,4}.This is true that the null set {} is a
subset. But how many elements are in the null set? 0 elements, this is
why the null set is not an element of any set, but a subset of any set.
Using the above example, the null set is not an element of the set {1, 2, 3,
4}, true. {1} is a subset of the set {1, 2, 3, 4} but it's not an element of the
set {1, 2, 3, 4}, either. Look at the distinction: 1 is an element of the set
{1,2,3,4} but {1} (the set containing the number 1) is not an element of
{1,2,3,4}. If we are just talking about sets of numbers, then another set
will never be an element of the set. Numbers will be elements of the set.
Other sets will not be elements of the set. Once we start talking about
more abstract sets, like sets of sets, then a set can be an element of a set.
Take for example the set consisting of the two sets {null} and {1, 2}. The
null set is an element of this set.

Question: Is empty set is proper subset or not?

Answer: Yes, empty set is proper subset of any non empty set say X. Since empty
set is subset of X and does not equal to X.

Question: Show |A x B| = |A| x |B|

Answer: Number of members of set A x B is equal to multiplication of number of
members of A and number of members B. Where A x B is set of

Come & Join Us at [Link]

 Cartesian product of A and B. Let A= {1, 2} and B= {x, y} Then |A|=2,
|B| =2 and A × B={(1,x),(1,y),(2,x),(2,y)} so | A × B| =4….(1) And |A| ×
|B|=2*2=4……. (2) From (1) and (2) | A × B| = |A| × |B|.

Question: How does to convert a decimal number into fraction form?

Answer: Step1: To eliminate decimal. For it follow the rules, First note that how
many digits are there after decimal points? If 1, divide the given decimal
number by 10 If 2, divide the given decimal number by 100. If 3, divide
the given decimal number by [Link] so on Step2: Now simplify it such
that nominator and denominator are relatively prime. Example
convert3.25 into fraction form 3.25 Step 1: After decimal point there are
2 digits so dividing it by 100. So we have 325/100 Step2: After
simplification we have 13/4.

Question: Define membership table and truth table.

Answer: Membership table: A table displaying the membership of elements in
sets. Set identities can also be proved using membership tables. An
element is in a set, a 1 is used and an element is not in a set, a 0 is used.
Truth table: A table displaying the truth values of propositions.

Question: What are the relations on sets?

Question: What is an integer?

Answer: Integers are the whole numbers, negative whole numbers, and zero. For
example, 43434235, 28, 2, 0, -28, and -3030 are integers, but numbers
like 1/2, 4.00032, 2.5, Pi, and -9.90 are not. We can say that an integer is
in the set: {...3,-2,-1, 0,1,2,3...} (The three dots mean you keep going in
both directions.) It is often useful to think of the integers as points along a
'number line. Note that zero is neither positive nor negative.

Question: Differentiate the proper and improper subset.

Answer: Proper subset: If A is a subset of B and B contains at least one element
which is not an element of A. Then A is a proper subset of B. Improper
subset: If A is a subset of B and A=B then we can say that A is an
improper subset of B. So every set is an improper subset of itself. Also
empty or { } is an improper subset of every set. So that An improper
subset is a subset containing every element of the original set. A proper
subset contains some but not all of the elements of the original set. Every
Set has necessarily two subsets empty and the Set itself, thus every set is
known as improper subset of itself and any other subset is called Proper
Subsets.

Question: Why we use round function?

Answer: The ROUND function is used to round a numeric field to the number of

Come & Join Us at [Link]

 decimals specified. The Round function returns a number rounded to a
specified number of decimal places. However, the Round function
behaves a little peculiar, so before using this function, please read the
following: The Round function utilizes round-to-even logic. If the
expression that you are rounding ends with a 5, the Round function will
round the expression so that the last digit is an even number. For
example: Round (12.55, 1) would return 12.6 (rounds up) Round (12.65,
1) would return 12.6 (rounds down) Round (12.75, 1) would return 12.8
(rounds up)

Question: What is the difference between a sequence and a series?

Answer: A sequence is a list of numbers. The order in which the numbers are
listed is important, as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5... is one sequence, and 2, 1, 4, 3, 6, 5,
..is an entirely different sequence. A series is a sum of numbers. For
example, 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + 1/16 +... is an example of a series. A series
is composed of a sequence of terms that are added up. The order in which
the terms appear is sometimes important; there are certain kinds of series
in which any rearrangement of the terms will not affect its sum (these are
called "absolutely convergent"). There are others in which different
arrangements of the terms will cause the sum of the series to change.
Sequences and series are often confused because they are closely related
to each other. But when we say "sequence," we are not concerned with
the sum of the values of the terms, whereas in a series, we are interested
in such a sum. For example: 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4, 1/5, 1/6,... is a sequence, and
it is n(th) term will be 1/n.

Question: Define arithmetic operators.

Answer: The arithmetic operators are • Addition • Subtraction • Multiplication •
Division • Exponents

Question: How does form relations (R1, R2, R3, R4...) on Cartesian product?
Answer: The Cartesian product of two sets X (for example the points on an x-axis)
and Y (for example the points on a y-axis), denoted X × Y, is the set of
all possible ordered pairs whose first component is a member of X and
whose second component is a member of Y (e.g. the whole of the x-y
plane): R=X × Y = {(x, y) / x e X and y e Y} then every possible subset
of R is a relation denoted by R1, R2, R3…. For Example: X = {1, 2} and
Y = {4, 5} R=X × Y = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 4), (2, 5)} R1= {(1, 4)} R2= {(1,
5)} R3= {(2, 4)} R4= {(2, 5)} R5= {(1, 4), (1, 5)} R6= {(1, 4), (2, 4)}
R7= {(1, 4), (2, 5)} R8= {(1, 5), (2, 4)} R9= {(1, 5), (2, 5)} R10= {(2, 4),
(2, 5)} R11= {(1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 4)} R12= {(1, 4), (1, 5), (2, 5)} R13= {(1,
4), (2, 4), (2, 5)} R14= {(1, 5), (2, 4), (2, 5)} R=R15 = {(1, 4), (1, 5), (2,
4), (2, 5)} R16= { }.

Question: Explain Venn diagram.

Answer: Venn diagram is a pictorial representation of sets. Venn diagram can
sometime be used to determine whether or not an argument is valid. Real
life problems can easily be illustrate through Venn diagram if you first

 convert them into set form and then in Venn diagram form. Venn diagram
enables students to organize similarities and differences visually or
graphically. A Venn diagram is an illustration of the relationships
between and among sets, groups of objects that share something in
common

Question: What is a function?

Answer: A function say 'f' is a rule or machine from a set A to the set B if for
every element say a of A, there exist a unique element say b of set B such
that b=f(a) Where b is the image of a under f, and a is the pre-image.
Note it that set A is called the domain of f and Y is called the co domain
of f. As we know that function is a rule or machine in which we put an
input, and we get an output .Like that a juicer machine. We take some
apples (here apples are input) and we apply a rule or a function of juicer
machine on it, then we get the output in the form of juice.

Question: What is domain and co -domain.

Answer: Domain means "the set of all x-coordinates in a relation". It is very
simple, Let we take a function say f from the set X to set Y. Then domain
means a set which contain all the elements of the set X. And co domain
means a set which contain all the elements of the set Y. For example: Let
we define a function "f" from the set X= {a, b, c, d} to Y= {1, 2, 3, 4}.
such that f(a)=1, f(b)=2, f(c)=3, f(d)=1 Here the domain set is {a, b, c , d}
And the co-domain set is {1,2,3,4} Where as the image set is
{1,2,3}.Because f(a)=1 as 1 is the image of a under the rule 'f'. f(b)=2 as 2
is the image of b under the rule 'f'. f(c)=3 as 3 is the image of c under the
rule 'f'. f(d)=1as 1 is the image of d under the rule 'f'. Because "image set
contains only those elements which are the images of elements found in
set X". Note it that here f is one -one but not onto, because there is one
element '4' left which is the image of nothing element under the rule 'f'.

Question: Antisymmetric relation

Answer: Antisymmetric: A relation R on a set A is said to be antisymmetric if (b,
a) e R and (a, b) e R then a=b for all a, b A. Or a relation is antisymmetric
if and only if there are no pairs of distinct elements a and b with a related
to b and b related to a. Be careful student, there is a condition if first
statement holds then second must be held. i.e. If (b, a) e R and (a, b) e R
then a=b Or you can say that if any order pair holds first condition but not
second then it is not antisymmetric otherwise it is antisymmetric. let
A={1,2,3,4} and a given relation is
R={(1,1)(1,2)(1,3)(1,4)(2,2)(2,3)(2,4)(3,3)(3,4)(4,4)} then R is
Antisymmetric. Since (1, 2) belongs to R but (2, 1) not belongs to R. First
statement is not hold. Similarly other pairs are not hold first condition. So
it is antisymmetric.

Question: Define decimal fraction and common fraction.
Answer: A decimal fraction is a fraction where the denominator is a power of ten.
e.g., 8/10, 83/100, 83/1000, and 8/10000 are expressed as: 0.8, 0.83,
0.083, and 0.0008. A common fraction is a fraction in which numerator
and denominator are both integers, as opposed to fractions. For example
2/5is a common fraction

Question: What is difference between percent and percentage?

Answer: Percentage is a way of expressing a number as a fraction of 100 (per cent
meaning "per hundred"). It is often denoted using the percent sign, "%".
For example, 45% (read as "forty-five percent") is equal to 45 / 100, or
0.45. Percentages are used to express how large one quantity is relative to
another quantity. The first quantity usually represents a part of, or a
change in, the second quantity, which should be greater than zero. For
example, an increase of $ 0.15 on a price of $ 2.50 is an increase by a
fraction of 0.15 / 2.50 = 0.06. Expressed as a percentage, this is therefore
a 6% increase.

Question: Describe the Matrix representation of transitive relation?

Answer: We know that
1) If a relation is reflexive then its matrix representation has unit
diagonal, to say as follow
1 0 1
1 1 0
0 0 1

2) If a relation is symmetric then its matrix representation is also

symmetric about the diagonal, to say as follows; .
1 0 1
0 1 1
1 1 1

Here you can see that matrix has same upper and lower triangular entries.
Now question arise what kind of special structure or pattern we obtain
in the case of transitive relation? Well!! It is not possible to find such
kind of specialty in the pattern or structure of matrix representation of
transitive relation. But in this case there should preserve (we get) a
shortest “path”, means to say if we have (a,b) and (b,c) then definitely
there exist (a,c). In other words if there are the “PATHS” from ab &
ac then for the transitive relation there must exist ac.
In matrix representation if we have 1,1 entries corresponding to (a,b)
and (b,c) respectively then there must exist(we should “search” for) entry
‘1’ at (a,c)
e.g:
For a set say A={a,b,c}, we have a relation say
R1={(a,a),(a,b),(a,c),(b,c),(c,c)}

B 0 0 1
C 0 0 1

Here you can verify all the criteria of transitivity as discussed above.

Question: There are the statements which contain the different truth values at the
same time. i.e "It is Cold today". Smart and weak people will agree with
this statement but not the healthy people. Are there any types of statement
if any then which type suits the requirement of containing the single truth
value either True or False?
Answer: In fact what we are studying is the Aristotelian logic in which
every declarative statement(proposition) is exactly true or false
and there is no other possibility. This kind of logic mostly used in
physical and mathematical sciences. For example any physical or
chemical theory will be either true or false. However in statistical
or social sciences it is sometimes not possible to divide all the
statements in true or false classes. For example, saying
"Valentine day is good for society". It is quite debatable or
perhaps controversial and for instance its deceleration is
undecided. So in this way we classify another kind logic where
there is a scope of third or fourth possibility, this is non-
Aristotelian logic. But we 'll concern in MTH202 only with
Aristotelian logic.

Question: Explain the concept of biconditional with real life and math related
example.
Answer: For biconditional, let we have the following examples;

1) We breath if and only if we live.

So in this case

p: we breath

q: we live

So logical form "p↔q" in tabular form as below;

p q p↔q
T(we breath) T(we live) T
F(but we
T(we breath) F
dont live)

F(we dont T(but we
F
breath) live)
F(neither we F(nor we
T
breath) live)

2) An intger is even if and only if it is divisible by 2.

p: an integer is even

q: intger is divisible by 2

So logical form "p↔q" in tabular form as below;

p q p↔q
T(an integer is T(intger is
T
even) divisible by 2)
F(but intger is
T(an integer is
not divisible by F
even)
2)
F(an integer is T(but intger is
F
not an even) divisible by 2)
F(neither an F(nor this intger
T
integer is even) is divisible by 2)
