Slope

Definition and Formula

  • Slope measures steepness of a line.
  • Calculated as ratio of vertical change (Δy) to horizontal change (Δx) between two points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2).
  • Formula: m = tan θ = (y2 - y1)/(x2 - x1)
  • θ is angle made with positive x-axis.
  • General line equation: y = mx + c, where c is y-intercept.

  • General form: Ax + By = C, where A, B ≠ 0.
  • Example: Income (I) vs Time (t) with equation I = 15t (I in dollars, t in hours).
  • Graph shows direct proportionality: as time increases, income increases linearly.
  • Minimum hours for savings found where income > expenditure.

Solved Examples

Quadratic Equations

Definition and General Form

  • Any equation of the form (p(x) = 0), where (p(x)) is a polynomial of degree 2.
  • General form: (ax2 + bx + c = 0), where (a, b, c ∈ ℝ) and (a ≠ 0).

Method of Factorisation

  • Express (ax2 + bx + c) as product of two linear factors by splitting the middle term.
  • Let factors be ((px + q)) and ((rx + s)), then:
    • (a = pr)
    • (b = ps + qr)
    • (c = qs)
    • Product of split terms ps × qr = ac
  • Set each factor to zero to find roots.

Quadratic Formula

  • Roots of (ax2 + bx + c = 0) are given by:
    • (x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac))/2a)
    • Discriminant D = b2 - 4ac
  • Nature of roots based on (D):
    • (D > 0): Two distinct real roots ((-b + √D)/2a) and ((-b - √D)/2a)
    • (D = 0): Two equal real roots ((-b)/2a)
    • (D < 0): No real roots (complex roots)

Solved Examples

  • Ex 1: Solve (x2 - 5x + 6 = 0) by factorisation.

  • Ex 2: Find roots of (2x2 + 3x - 2 = 0) using quadratic formula.
    • (a=2, b=3, c=-2)
    • (D = 32 - 4 × 2 × (-2) = 9 + 16 = 25)

    • A. Two distinct real roots
    • B. Two equal real roots
    • C. No real roots
    • D. One real root

Answer Key

  • Q1: B. (x2 - 4x + 4 = 0) is quadratic (degree 2).

Memory Aids

  • Quadratic formula: (x = (-b ± √(b2 - 4ac))/2a)
  • Discriminant D = b2 - 4ac decides root nature.

Logarithm

Definition and Explanation

  • Logarithm of a number to base a is the power x such that ax = N.
  • Written as loga N = x, where a > 0, a ≠ 1.
  • Logarithm is the inverse of the exponential function.
  • Parts: base (under log), argument (inside log), exponent (result).
  • Relation: loga x = y ⇔ ay = x.

Definition

  • Antilog of \(x\) is the number whose logarithm is \(x\).
  • Written as \(\text{antilog } x\).

Solved Examples

  • Ex 1: Find antilog of 2.4218.
