• HCF × LCM = Product of two numbers

Chapter 2: Polynomials
• If ax² + bx + c = 0, then sum of roots (α + β) = -b/a
• Product of roots (αβ) = c/a
• Remainder theorem: If p(x) is divided by (x – a), remainder = p(a)
• Factor theorem: If p(a) = 0, then (x – a) is a factor of p(x)

Chapter 3: Pair of Linear Equations in Two Variables


• ax + by + c = 0 , a1x + b1y + c1 = 0
• If a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2 → Unique solution

• If a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2 → Infinitely many solutions

Chapter 4: Quadratic Equations


• Standard form: ax² + bx + c = 0

• Roots: x = [-b ± √D] / 2a
• Nature of roots: D > 0 → real & distinct, D = 0 → real & equal, D < 0 → not real

The surface area of a cone is SA = πr(l + r) whereas for a cylinder it is SA = 2πrh + 2πr². The cone formula includes the slant height (l) due to its conical shape compared to the straight sides of the cylinder .

The section formula is used to find the coordinates of a point dividing a line segment in a given ratio internally. It functions by calculating the weighted average of the coordinates of the endpoints: ((mxI + nxII)/(m+n), (myI + nyII)/(m+n)).

The relationship between the HCF (Highest Common Factor) and LCM (Least Common Multiple) of two numbers is given by the equation: HCF × LCM = Product of the two numbers .

A tangent to a circle is perpendicular to the radius at the point of contact because this orientation minimizes the distance from a point outside to the circle, creating a right angle, which is the shortest distance on a tangent path .

The discriminant of a quadratic equation, given as D = b² - 4ac, determines the nature of the roots. If D > 0, the roots are real and distinct. If D = 0, the roots are real and equal. If D < 0, the roots are not real .

Probability quantifies the likelihood of an event occurring by comparing the number of favorable outcomes to the total number of possible outcomes with the formula: Probability = Favourable outcomes / Total outcomes .

For the quadratic equation ax² + bx + c = 0, the sum of roots (α + β) is -b/a and the product of roots (αβ) is c/a .

The nth term an = a + (n – 1)d and the sum of n terms Sn = n/2 [2a + (n – 1)d] = n/2 [a + l] of an AP reflect its linearity through constant differences and proportional increases based on the number of terms and common difference .

The Basic Proportionality Theorem states that if a line parallel to one side of a triangle divides the other two sides proportionally, it helps establish similarity criteria for triangles, particularly confirming AA (Angle-Angle) similarity .

For a pair of linear equations to have a unique solution, the condition a1/a2 ≠ b1/b2 must be satisfied. For the equations to have no solutions, the condition a1/a2 = b1/b2 ≠ c1/c2 applies .
