CHAPTER NO.1 REAL NUMBERS (Weightage 10 – 11 Marks)

BASIC CONCEPTS:

1. Rational numbers are numbers which can be written in the form of ,

where both ‘p’ and ‘q’ are integers and q≠ 0.

2. Irrational numbers are numbers which can’t be express in the form of

rational numbers.

3. The set of rational and irrational numbers together are called Real

numbers.

4. The fundamental theorem of Arithmetic: “ Every composite number can be

expressed as a product of primes and this factorization is unique ( apart

from the order in which the prime factors occur).

5. H.C.F : Product of the smallest powers of each common prime factors in

the numbers.

6. L.C.M : Product of the greatest powers of each prime factors in the

numbers.

7. The product of two positive integers is equal to the product of their L.C.M

and H.C.F.

8. Let x = be a rational numbers, such that the prime factorization of “q” is

of the form 2n.5m where n,m are non negative integers. Then ‘x’ has a

decimal expansion which terminates

9. If ‘q’ is not in the form of 2n.5m then that ‘x’ has a decimal expansion

which is non – terminating repeating ( recurring )

10. (i) a , x are two positive integers and a≠1 and x = an then = n

(ii) Logarithm of any number to a given base is the value of index to which

the base must be raised to get the given number.

11. LAWS OF LOGARITHMS:

i. = +

ii. = -

iii. = m.

iv. = 1

v. = 0

10. Let us assume, to the contrary that is rational

= form

Let us divide both ‘r’ and ‘s’ with their common factor

then = ( where a and b are co-primes)

b = a

3b2 = a2

3 divides a2

Hence 3 divides a (1) ( 1 mark )

let a = 3c ( where ‘c’ is a positive integer)

3b2 = a2

3b2 = (3c)2

3b2 = 9c2

b2 = 3c2

3 divides b2

3 divides b ( 2 ) ( 1 mark )

from (1) and (2) 3 divides both ‘a’ and b’ ½ mark

But ‘a’ and ‘b’ are co-primes ½ mark

Our assumption is not correct ½ mark

is irrational ½ mark

11. Let us assume that 5 - is rational number ½ mark

5 - = form (where a, b are relative primes ) ½ mark

5 - = ½ mark

As is rational 5 - is also rational ½ mark

But, 5 - = ½ mark

is also a rational number

It is false

So our assumption is not correct ½ mark

5 - is an irrational number ½ mark

12. Let us assume that 3 - 2 is rational number ½ mark

3 - 2 = form (where a, b are relative primes ) ½ mark

3 - =2 ½ mark

But 3 - =2 ½ mark

is also a rational number

It is false

So our assumption is not correct ½ mark

CHAPTER NO.2 SETS (weightage 8 – 10 marks )

BASIC CONCEPTS :

1. A Set is a well defined collection of objects

2. An object belong to a set is known as an element of the Set

3. A Set can be represented in two ways (i) Roaster (or) tabular form (ii) Set

builder form In roaster form all the elements of a set are listed, the

elements being separated by commas and enclosed within braces, { }.

4. Elements in a Set are expressed by means of property or rules possessed by

the elements of a Set, this form is called as Set builder form

5. A Set which does not contain any elements is called the empty Set or the

null Set

6. A Set is called a finite set if it is possible to count the number of elements

in it.

7. A Set is called an infinite set if the number of elements in it is not finite

8. The number of elements in a set is called the cardinal number of the set.

9. Universal Set is denoted by ‘ ’ . Universal set is usually drawn as rectangle.

Page 9: X DCEB MATHS EM

10. If every element in the set A is in set B , then A is called a subset to B. It is

denoted by A B

11. Two sets A and B are said to be equal, if every element of A is also an

element of B and every element of B is also an element of A.

12. Union of sets A and B is denoted as A B.

A B = { x/x A or x B }

13. Intersection of Sets A and B is denoted by A B.

A B = { x/ x A and x B }

14. Difference of Sets A and B is denoted by A – B ( or ) B – A

A – B = { x/x A and x B }

B – A = { x/x B and x A }

CHAPTER 3

POLYNOMIALS Important formulae

1. Polynomials: Polynomials are algebraic expressions constructed using

constants and variables.

Coefficients operate on variables, which can be raised to various

powers of non – negative integer exponents.

Ex: - 2x2+5x, 3x

2-5x+6, -6y, x

2 etc are polynomials.

etc are polynomials.

2. Degree of a polynomials: 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)

digits is 66. If the digits of the number differ by 2 find the number?

Sol: Ones place of a two digit number is = x

In tenth digit place is = y

Then the two digit number is = 10y + x

If revers the digit number is = 10x + y

Sum of the two numbers = 66

(10y + x) + (10x + y) = 66

11x + 11y = 66

Page 32: X DCEB MATHS EM

32

11 (x + y) = 66

x + y = = 6 ….. (1)

Difference of the two digits is = 2

x – y = 2 ……. (2)

x + y = 6

y = 6 – x

Substituting the y value in equation (2)

x – (6 – x) = 2

x – 6 + x = 2

2x = 2 +6 = 8

x = =4

Substituting x = 4 in y value

y = 6 – 4 = 2

x = 4, y = 2 the number is = 10y + x = 10 2+4 = 24

Reverse the number is = 10x + y = 10 4+2 = 42

By using elimination method to solve the problems

1. 3x + 5y =9 ….. (1)

3x + 2y = 4 ……….. (2)

Sol: Equating the variables in the above equation

(1) 2 ……. 16x + 10y = 18

(2) 5 ……. 10x + 10y = 20

x = -2

Substituting the x value in (2)

3 (-2) + 2y = 4

-6 + 2y = 4

2y = 4 + 6 = 10

y = = 5

x = -2, y = 5

Page 33: X DCEB MATHS EM

33

Charge for 1km is = y

For a distance of 10km, paid by the charge is = 220Rs

x + 10y = 220 ….. (1)

Paid the charge for the journey of 15km is = 310Rs

x + 15y = 310 ….. (2)

i) (2) – (1) x + 15y = 310

x + 10y = 220

5y = 90

y = = 18

Substituting the y = 18 value in 1

x + 10(18) = 220

x + 180 = 220

x = 220 – 180 = 40

The fixed charge is x = 40Rs

Charge for the journey is = 18Rs

ii) To pay for travelling a distance of 25 km is

= Fixed charge + 25 charge for 1km

= 40 + (25 18)

= 40 + 450 = 490Rs

th term of the 2

nd AP is a100 = y + 99d

According to the problem

(x + 99d) – (y – 99d) = 100

x + 99d – y – 99d = 100

x- y = 100 (1)

1000th

term of the 1st AP is a1000 = x + 999d

8.SIMILAR TRIANGLES

You have studied in your earlier classes basic concepts of geometry which

are essential to study the further course in geometry. Hence, you must acquire the

requisite preliminary knowledge with regard to the concepts such as “the

congruent”, corresponding angles, alternate angles etc.,

(a)A two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal then the following angles are

equal.

(i) The corresponding angles are equal.

(ii) The alternate angles are equal.

i.e., l//m and „p‟ in a transversal

(Corresponding angles) and (alternate angles)

(b)(i) The height (or) attitude of an acute angled triangle lies inside of the triangle.

(ii) The height (or) attitude of an abtuse angled triangle lies inside of the triangle.

(iii) The height (or) attitude of a right angled triangle is one of the two sides.

(iv) In any case, the area of the triangle = ½ base x (height drawn to the base)

(c) In an isosceles triangles, the sides opposite to the equal angles are equal or

the angles opposite to the equal sides are equal.

(i) In ABC, if AB = AC

(d) A quadrilateral in which two opposite sides are parallel is called a trapezium.

i.e., AB // DC then ABCD is a Trapizium AC, BD are its diagonals.

(Alternate angles)

(e) In the triangles having the same base and are lying between the same parallel

lines, then their areas are equal triangles ABC, ABD, ABE are on the same

Page 78: X DCEB MATHS EM

(f) If the variables a,b,c are proportion to x,y,z then = =

Similar of geometrical figures

Two Polygons with same number of sides are similar if

(i) all the corresponding angles are equal and

2. All equilateral triangles are similar.

3. All circles are similar

Note: 1. If the scale factor k < 1 then the figure will diminished

2. If the scale factor k > 1 then the figure will enlarges

3. If the scale factor k = 1 then we get the congruent figure.

Similarity of triangles:-

If three angles in one triangle are equal to the corresponding three angles of

another triangle then the triangles are similar.

(or)

Page 79: X DCEB MATHS EM

If the corresponding sides of two triangles are proportion then the two

triangles are similar.

i.e. If ABC PQR

(or) If = = ABC PQR

Note: 1. In two (or) more triangles, if either the three angles are equal or the

sides are in proportion, then the triangles will have the same shape and hence the

triangles are similar.

Note: „Congruence‟ is the property pertaining to both shape and size.

corresponding three angles of another triangle, then they are similar and

hence the corresponding sides are proportion.

2. AA criterion for (similarity) of two triangles:

In two triangles, if two angles of one triangle are equal to the

corresponding two angles of one triangle are equal to the corresponding two

angles, another triangle, then the triangles are similar.

Circle Tangent Secant:

A circle and a line in a plane can be depicted in three ways.

1. The circle and the line have no common point.

2. The circle and the line have only one common point.

3. The circle and the line have exactly two common point.

In the second case the line is called the largest and the common point

is called the point of contact

In the third case the line is called the secant of the circle and the

common points are called points of intersection.

Theorem: The tangent at any point of a circle is perpendicular to the radius

through the point of contact.

Given: XY is the tangent to the circle with centre „o‟ at „p‟

RTP: XY OP

Proof: Assume XY is not perpendicular to „OP‟ if we take point on XY i.e. Q

on XY then it must be outside of the circle, otherwise Q lies inside of

the circle, and consequently, XY becomes secant

OP < OQ

For every point on XY other than P,

Page 110: X DCEB MATHS EM

110

OP < OQ

Note: Using the theorem we can construct a tangent to the given circle.

Construct of a Tangent:

Construction steps:

1. Draw a circle with radius „OP‟ let „O‟ be the its centre.

2. Locate the points A,B on such that AP = BP

„P‟ is the midpoint of

3. Draw a perpendicular bisector to and ensure that it passes

through „P‟.

OP XY XY is a tangent.

Length of the Tangent:

OP = Distance of the centre point „P‟ = d

OA = Radius = r

AP = Length of the tangent from an external point „P‟

AP2 = OP2 – OA2 (By Pythagoras Theorem)

AP =

Ex:- Find the length of the tangent to a circle with centre „O‟ and radius 6cm

from a point „P‟ such that OP = 10cm

OP = 10cm

Here OP = d = 10cm

OA = r = 6cm

Length of the tangent AP =

=

Page 111: X DCEB MATHS EM

= = 8cm.

Construction of Tangents to a circle from an external point:

Construction Steps:

1. Draw a circle with given radius and let its centre be „O‟ let „P‟

be an external point so that OP > r

2. The perpendicular bisector to „OP‟ intersects OP at „Q‟

3. Draw a circle with radius ½ OP = PQ = OQ and centre at „Q‟

let the points of intersection of two circles be A, B

4. Join P, A and P, B PA, PB are two tangents.

Proof: OAP = 900 (Angle in the semi circle)

OA PA (At the end of a radius of the circle becomes the tangent)

Similarly OBP = 900

OB PB

PA, PB are two tangents from „P‟ to the circle.

Since PA2 = OP2 – OA2

= OP2 – OB2 (

= PB2

PA = PB

i.e., The two tangents drawn from an external point to the given circle are

equal.

Ex:- If a circle touches all the four sides of a quadrilateral ABCD at P,Q,R,S

Show that AB + CD = BC + DA

Proof: AP = AS

BP = BQ

CR = CA

Page 112: X DCEB MATHS EM

112

DR = DS Tangents to the circles drawn from the external points

A,B,C,D.

AP + BP + CR + DR = AS + BQ + CQ + DS

(AP + BP) + (CR+DR) = (AS+DS) + (BQ + CQ)

AB + CD = AD + BC

Example: Draw a pair of tangents to a circle of radius 5cm which are inclined to

each other at an angle of 600.

Solution:

To draw the tangents, we must know the location the outside point „p‟

i.e., we must know the distance between „O‟ and „P‟.

OA = OB (Radii)

OP = OP (Common side)

PA = PB (Tangents)

1. Draw a circle with radius OA = OB = 5cm and let „O‟ be the centre

of the circle. Locate the point „P‟ which is 10cm away from „O‟.

2. The perpendicular bisector to „OP‟ intersects OP at „M‟.

3. Draw a circle with radius = ½ OP = 5cm and centre at „M‟ let the

points of intersection of two circles be A,B

4. Join P,A and P, B. PA, PB are the required Tangents.

PROBABILITY Probability: Probability means the number of occasions that a particular

statement or event is lifely to occur in a large population of events.

The theoretical (classical) probability of an event E, written as P(E) is

defined as

P (E) =

P(E) + P(E) = 1 where stands for „not E‟

i.e., P ( ) = 1 – P(E)

Page 144: X DCEB MATHS EM

1. Define the mutually exclusive events?

Sol: Solution: Two or more events of an experiment, where occurance of an

event prevents occurances of all other events are called mutually exclusive

events.

2. Define the complementary events and probability?

Sol: If an event is denoted by „E‟ in an experiment.

We denote the event „not E‟ by this is called the complement event of

event E.

So P (E) + P ( ) = 1
