Mathematics Tutorials

1. Linear Equations
Definition:
A linear equation is an equation between two variables that gives a straight line when plotted on a
graph.

General Form:
ax + b = 0

Example:
Solve 2x + 3 = 7
=> 2x = 4
=> x = 2

2. Pythagoras Theorem
Definition:
In a right-angled triangle, the square of the hypotenuse is equal to the sum of the squares of the
other two sides.

Formula:
c² = a² + b²

Example:
If a = 3, b = 4, then
c² = 3² + 4² = 9 + 16 = 25
=> c = 5

3. Derivatives Basics
Definition:
The derivative represents the rate of change of a function with respect to a variable.

Basic Rule:
If f(x) = x^n, then f'(x) = n*x^(n-1)

Example:
f(x) = x^3
f'(x) = 3x^2

4. Mean, Median, Mode


Mean:
Average of numbers. Mean = (Sum of values) / (Number of values)

Median:
Middle value when data is sorted.

Mode:
Most frequent value.

Example:
Data: 2, 3, 3, 5, 7
Mean = 20/5 = 4
Median = 3
Mode = 3

5. Prime Numbers
Definition:
A prime number is a natural number greater than 1 that has no positive divisors other than 1 and
itself.

Examples:
2, 3, 5, 7, 11, 13, 17, 19

Note:
2 is the only even prime number.
