Matrices

DEFINITION
A rectangular arrangement of elements in rows and columns, is called a matrix. Such a rectangular arrangement
of numbers is enclosed by small ( ) or big [ ] brackets. Generally a matrix is represented by a capital latter A, B,
C......... etc. and its element are represented by small letters a, b, c, x, y etc.
Following are some examples of a matrix :
a b  1 5 3  2
A =  c d  , B = 4 0 2 C =  0  , D = [1, 5, 6], E = [5]
     

ORDER OF MATRIX
A matrix which has m rows and n columns is called a matrix of order m × n, and its represented by
Am×n or A = [aij]m×n
It is obvious to note that a matrix of order m × n contains mn elements. Every row of such a matrix contains n
elements and every column contains m elements.

TYPES OF MATRICES
Row matrix
If in a matrix, there is only one row, then it is called a Row Matrix.
Thus A = [aij]m×n is a row matrix if m = 1
Column Matrix
If in a matrix, there is only one column, then it is called a column matrix.
Thus A = [aij]m×n is a column matrix if n = 1.
Square matrix
If number of rows and number of columns in a matrix are equal, then it is called a square matrix.
Thus A = [aij]m×n is a square matrix if m = n.
Note : (a) If m  n then matrix is called a rectangular matrix.
(b) The elements of a square matrix A for which i = j i.e., a11, a22, a33,......ann are called principal diagonal
elements and the line joining these elements is called the principal diagonal or leading diagonal of
matrix A.
(c) Trace of a matrix : The sum of principal diagonal elements of a square matrix A is called the trace of
matrix A which is denoted by trace A. Trace A = a11  a 22  ....a nn
Singleton matrix
If in a matrix there is only one element then it is called singleton matrix.
Thus A = [aij]m×n is a singleton matrix if m = n = 1.
Null or zero matrix
If in a matrix all the elements are zero then it is called a zero matrix and it is generally denoted by O.
Thus A = [aij]m×n is a zero matrix if aij = 0 for all i and j.
Diagonal matrix
If all elements except the principal diagonal in a square matrix are zero, it is called a diagonal matrix.
Thus a square matrix A = [aij] is a diagonal matrix if aij = 0, when i  j.

[1]
[2] Matrices and Determinants

Note : (a) No element of principal diagonal in diagonal matrix is zero.


(b) Number of zero is a diagonal matrix is given by n2 – n where n is a order of the matrix.
Scalar Matrix
If all the elements of the diagonal in a diagonal matrix are equal, it is called a scalar matrix.
Thus a square matrix A [aij] is a scalar matrix is
0 i  j
aij = k i  j where k is a constant.

Unit matrix
If all elements of principal diagonal in a diagonal matrix are 1, then it is called unit matrix. A unit matrix of order
n is denoted by In.
Thus a square matrix
1 i  j
A = [aij] is a unit matrix if aij = 0 i  j

Note : Every unit matrix is a scalar matrix.
Triangular matrix
A square matrix [aij] is said to be triangular if each element above or below the principal diagonal is zero. It is of
two types -
(a) Upper triangular matrix : A square matrix [aij] is called the upper triangular matrix, if aij = 0 when i > j.
(b) Lower triangular matrix : A square matrix [aij] is called the lower triangular matrix, if
aij = 0 when i < j
n(n  1)
Note : Minimum number of zero in a triangular matrix is given by where n is order of matrix.
2

Equal matrix
Two matrices A and B are said to be equal if they are of same order and their corresponding elements are equal.
Singular matrix
Matrix A is said to be singular matrix if its determinant |A| = 0, otherwise non-singular matrix i.e.,
If det |A| = 0  singular and det |A|  0  non-singular

ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION OF MATRICES


If A = [aij]m×n and B = [bij]m×n are two matrices of the same order then their sum A + B is a matrix whose each
element is the sum of corresponding elements.
i.e., A + B = [aij + bij ] m×n
A – B is defined as A – B = [aij – bij]m×n
Note : Matrix addition and subtraction can be possible only when matrices are of same order.
Properties of matrices addition
If A, B and C are matrices of same order, then-
(i) A + B = B + A (Commutative Law)
(ii) (A + B) + C = A + (B + C) (Associative law)
(iii) A + O = O + A = A, where O is zero matrix which is additive identity of the matrix.
(iv) A + (–A) = 0 = (–A) + A where (–A) is obtained by changing the sign of every element of A which is
additive inverse of the matrix
Matrices and Determinants [3]

A  B  A  C
(v) B  A  C  A   B = C (Cancellation law)

(vi) Trace (A ± B) = trace (A) ± trace (B)

SCALAR MULTIPLICATION OF MATRICES


Let A = [aij]m×n be a matrix and k be a number then the matrix which is obtained by multiplying every element of
A by k is called scalar multiplication of A by k and it denoted by kA.
Thus A = [aij]m×n  kA = [kaij]m×n

Properties of scalar multiplication


If A, B are matrices of the same order and m, n are any numbers, then the following results can be easily
established.
(i) m(A + B) = mA + mB (ii) (m + n)A = mA + nA (iii) m(nA) = (mn)A = n(mA)

MULTIPLICATION OF MATRICES
If A and B be any two matrices, then their product AB will be defined only when number of column in A is equal
to the number of rows in B. If A = [aij]m×n and B = [bij]n×p then their product AB = C = [cij], will be matrix of order
m × p, where
n

(AB)ij = Cij  a b
r 1
ir rj

Properties of matrix multiplication


If A, B and C are three matrices such that their product is defined, then
(i) AB  BA (Generally not commutative)
(ii) (AB) C = A (BC) (Associative Law)
(iii) IA = A = AI I is identity matrix for matrix multiplication
(iv) A (B + C) = AB + AC (Distributive law)
(v) If AB = AC   B = C (cancellation Law is not applicable)
(vi) If AB = 0 It does not mean that A = 0 or B = 0, again product of two non-zero matrix may be zero
matrix.
(vii) trance (AB) = trance (BA)
Note : (i) The multiplication of two diagonal matrices is again a diagonal matrix.
(ii) The multiplication of two triangular matrices is again a triangular matrix.
(iii) The multiplication of two scalar matrices is also a scalar matrix.
(iv) If A and B are two matrices of the same order, then
(a) (A + B)2 = A2 + B2 + AB + BA
(b) (A – B)2 = A2 + B2 – AB – BA
(c) (A – B) (A + B) = A2 – B2 + AB – BA
(d) (A + B) (A – B) = A2 – B2 – AB + BA
(e) A (–B) = (–A) B = –(AB)
Positive Integral powers of a matrix
The positive integral powers of a matrix A are defined only when A is a square matrix.
Also then A2 = A.A A3 = A.A.A = A2A
[4] Matrices and Determinants

Also for any positive integers m, n


(i) Am An = Am+n (ii) (Am)n = Amn = (An)m
(iii) In = I, Im = I (iv) A° = In where A is a square matrices of order n.

TRANSPOSE OF MATRIX
If we interchange the rows to columns and columns to rows of a matrix A, then the matrix so obtained is called
the transpose of A and it is denoted by
AT or At or A'
From this definition it is obvious to note that
(i) Order of A is m × n  order of AT is n × m
(ii) (AT)ij = (A)ji, " i, j)
Properties of Transpose
If A, B are matrices of suitable order then
(i) (AT)T = A
(ii) (A + B)T = AT + BT
(iii) (A – B)T = AT – BT
(iv) (kA)T = kAT
(v) (AB)T = BTAT
(vi) (A1A2.....An)T = AnT.....A2TA1T
(vii) (An)T = (AT)n, n  N

SYMMETRIC AND SKEW-SYMMETRIC MATRIX

(a) Symmetric matrix : A square matrix A = [aij] is called symmetric matrix if aij = aji for all ˆi  ˆj or AT = A.
Note : (i) Every unit matrix and square zero matrix are symmetric matrices.
n(n  1)
(ii) Maximum number of different element in a symmetric matrix is
2
(b) Skew-symmetric matrix : A square matrix A = [aij] is called skew-symmetric matrix if
aij = – aji for all i, j or AT = –A
Note : (i) All principal diagonal elements of a skew-symmetric matrix are always zero because for
any diagonal element - aii = – aii  aii = 0
(ii) Trace of a skew symmetric matrix is always 0
Properties of symmetric and skew-symmetric matrices
(i) If A is a square matrix, then A + AT, AAT, ATA are symmetric matrices while A–AT is skew-symmetric
matrices.

(iii) |AT| = |A|
(iv) |kA| = kn |A|, if A is a square matrix of order n.
(v) If A and B are square matrices of same order then |AB| = |BA|

(vii) If A = diag (a1, a2, .....an) then |A| = a1a2....an
(viii) |A|n = |An|, n  N

ADJOINT OF A MATRIX
If every element of a square matrix A be replaced by its cofactor in |A|, then the transpose of the matrix so
obtained is called the adjoint of A and it is denoted by adj A
Thus if A = [aij] be a square matrix and Cij be the cofactor of aij in |A|, then
adj A = [Cij]T
 (adj A)ij = Cij

Properties of Adjoint Matrix


If A, B are square matrices of order n and In is corresponding unit matrix, then

(Thus A (adj A) is always a scalar matrix)
(ii) |adj A| = |A|n–1
(iii) adj (adj A) = |A|n–2 A

(xiv) A is singular  |adj A| = 0

INVERSE MATRIX
If A and B are two matrices such that
AB = I = BA
then B is called the inverse of A and it is denoted by A–1. Thus
A–1 = B  AB = I = BA
Further we may note from above property (i) of adjoint matrix that if |A|  0, then
adj ( A ) (adj A ) 1

Thus A–1 exists  |A|  0.


Note :

DETERMINANTS

DEFINITION
When an algebraic or numerical expression is expressed in a square form containing some rows and columns, this
square form is named as a determinant of that expression. For example when expression a1b2 – a2 b1 is expressed
in the form
a1 b1
a2 b2
,
then it is called a determinant of order 2, Clearly a determinant of order 2 contains 2 rows and 2 columns.
Similarly
a1 b1 c1
a2 b2 c2
is a determinant of order 3.
a3 b3 c3
Obviously in every determinant, the number of rows and columns are equal and this number is called the order of
that determinant.

REPRESENTATION OF A DETERMINANT
Generally we use  or |A| symbols to express a determinant and a determinant of order 3 is represented by
a11 a12 a13
a21 a22 a23
a31 a32 a33
It should be noted that the ( i, j)th element ( i.e., the element of the ith row and jth column) of the determinant has
been expressed by aij , i = 1 , 2 , 3 ; j = 1,2,3 . The elements for which i = j are called diagonal elements and the
diagonal containing them is called principal diagonal or simply diagonal of the determinant. For the above determinant
a11 , a22 , a33 are diagonal elements.
A determinant is called a triangular determinant if its every element above or below the diagonal is zero. For
example

a 0 0
b c 0
d e f

is a triangular determinant. In particular when all the elements except diagonal elements are zero, then it is called
a diagonal determinant. For example

a 0 0
0 b 0
0 0 c

is a diagonal determinant.
We generally use R1, R2, R3, ........ to denote first, second, third .... row and C1, C2 , C3 ......... to denote first,
second, third ..... column of a determinant.

VALUE OF A DETERMINANT
The expression which has been expressed in a determinant form is called the value of that determinant.
To find the value of a third order determinant
Matrices and Determinants [9]

a11 a12 a13

Let   a 21 a 22 a 23
a 31 a 32 a 33

be a third order determinant. To find its value we expand it by any row or column as the sum of three determinants
of order 2. If we expand it by first row then
a 22 a 23 a a 23 a a 22
  ( 1)11a11  ( 1)1 2 a12 21  (1)13 21
a 32 a 33 a 31 a33 a 31 a 32

a 22 a 23 a a 23 a 21 a 22
 a11  a12 21 
a 32 a 33 a 31 a 33 a 31 a 32

MINOR AND COFACTOR OF AN ELEMENT

MINOR OF AN ELEMENT
Minor of an element of the determinants is obtain by leaving the row and column containing that element and
retaining rest of elements.

a11 a12 a13 a22 a23 a21 a23


If   a21 a22 a23 , then minor of a11 is M11 = a a33
. Similarly M12 = a a
32 31 33
a31 a32 a33

Using this concept the value of Determinant can be


 = a11 M11 – a12 M12 + a13 M13
or  = – a21 M21 + a22 M22 – a23 M23
or  = a31 M31 – a32 M32 + a33 M33
COFACTOR OF AN ELEMENT
The cofactor of an element ai j is denoted by Ci j and is equal to (–1) i + j Mi j where Mi j is a minor of element ai j

a11 a12 a13


If   a21 a22 a23
a31 a32 a33

a22 a23
then C11 = (–1)1 + 1 M11 = M11 = a a33
32

a21 a23
C12 = (–1)1 + 2 M12 = –M12 = – a a
31 33

Note :- (i) The sum of products of the element of any row with their corresponding cofactor is equal to the value
of determinant i.e.  = a11 C11 + a12 C12 + a13 C13
(ii) The sum of the product of element of any row with corresponding cofactor of another row is equal to
zero i.e. a11 C21 + a12 C22 + a13 C23 = 0
(iii) If order of a determinant (  ) is 'n' then the value of the determinant formed by replacing every
element by its cofactor is  n–1
[10] Matrices and Determinants

PROPERTIES OF DETERMINANTS
If the elements of a determinant are complicated expressions or numbers, then it is very difficult to find its value
by expansion method. In such cases we reduce the determinant into a simple one using the following properties.
P–1 The value of a determinant is unchanged if its rows and columns are interchanged. For example

a b c a p u
p q r  b q v
u v w c r w

P–2 The interchange of any two consecutive rows or columns will simply change the sign of the value of the
determinant. For example

a b c b a c p q r
p q r  q p r  a b c
u v w v u w u v w

P–3 If any two rows or columns of a determinant are identical then its value is zero. For example

a b c a a b
a b c 0  p p q
u v w u u v

P–4 If each element of a row or column of a determinant be multiplied by a number, then its value is also multiplied
by that number. For example

ka kb kc a b c ka b c
p q r k p q r  kp q r
u v w u v w ku v w

P–5 If each entry in a row or column of a determinant is the sum of two numbers, then the determinant can be written
as the sum of two determinants. For example

a   b  c   a b c    a b c a b c  b c
p q r  p q r  p q r p q r  p q r   q r
and
u v w u v w u v w u  v w u v w  v w

P–6 The value of a determinant does not change if the elements of a row ( column) are added to or subtracted from
the corresponding elements of another row ( column). For example

a b c a  b   c b c
p q r  p  q   r q r
u v w u  v   w v w

P–7 If  = f (x) and f(a) = 0, then (x –a) is a factor of  . For example in the determinant
1 1 1 1 1 1
a b c b b c =0
 = if we replace a by b then  =
a2 b2 c2 b2 b2 c2
 ( a– b) is a factor of  .

P–8 If each entry in any row (or column) of a determinant is zero, then the value of determinant is equal to zero.
Matrices and Determinants [11]

MULTIPLICATION OF TWO DETERMINANTS


Multipication of two second order determinants is defined as follows
a1 b1 l1 m1 a1l 1  b1l 2 a1m1  b1m2
 
a2 b2 l2 m2 a2 l 1  b2 l 2 a2m1  b 2m2
Multiplication of two third order determinants is defined as follows
a1 b1 c1 l1 m1 n1 a1l1  b1l 2  c1l 3 a1m1  b1m2  c1m3 a1n1  b1n2  c1n3
a2 b2 c 2  l 2 m 2 n2  a2 l1  b2 l 2  c 2 l 3 a2m1  b2m2  c 2m3 a2n1  b2n2  c 3 n3
a3 b3 c3 l3 m3 n3 a3 l1  b3 l 2  c 3 l 3 a3 m1  b3m2  c 3m3 a3 n1  b3 n2  c 3 n3

Note : In above case the order of Determinant is same, if the order is different then for their multiplication first
of all they should be expressed in the same order

SYMMETRIC & SKEW SYMMETRIC DETERMINANT


Symmetric determinant
A determinant is called symmetric Determinant if for its every element.
ai j = a j i  i , j
Skew Symmetric determinant
A determinant is called skew Symmetric determinant if for its every element
a i j = – a j i  i, j ;
Note : (i) Every diagonal element of a skew symmetric determinant is always zero
(ii) The value of a skew symmetric determinant of even order is always a perfect square and that of
odd order is always zero.
i.e. (order = 2) i.e. (order = 3)

APPLICATIONS OF DETERMINANT
CRAMMER'S RULE :
Let the system of equations be
a1 x + b1 y + c1z = d1
a2x + b2y + c2z = d2
a3x + b3y + c3z = d3
a1 b1 c1 d1 b1 c1 a1 d1 c1 a1 b1 d1
  a2 b2 c2
and , 1  d2 b2 c 2  2  a2 d2 c2
, 3  a2 b2 d2
a3 b3 c3 d3 b3 c3 a3 d3 c3 a3 b3 d3
then (i) If   0 , then given system of equations is consistent i.e. has unique solution and its solution is
1  
x , y  2 , z 3
  
This is known as Crammer's rule
(ii) If  = 0 and atleast one of  1 ,  2 ,  3 is not zero, then the system of equations is inconsistent i.e. it
has no solution.
(iii) If  = 0 and  1 = 0 =  2 =  3 , then the system has infinite solutions.
(iv) If  = 0 and d1 = 0 = d2 = d3 , then the system of equations has infinite solutions ( non-zero solution) i.e.
non-trivial solutions
[12] Matrices and Determinants

(v) If   0 and d1 = 0 = d2 = d3, then the system of equations has a unique solution x = 0 , y = 0 , z = 0 i.e.,

Let P be a point in space and distances of P from y-z, z-x and x-y planes be x, y, z respectively (with proper signs)
then we say that coordinates of P are (x, y, z).
Also OA = x, OB = y, OC = z
2. Distance Formula :
The distance between two points A (x1, y1, z1) and B (x2, y2, z2) is given by

AB= (x 2  x1 ) 2  (y 2  y1 ) 2  (z 2  z1 ) 2
Distance from Origin :
Let O be the origin and P (x, y, z) be any point, then
OP = ( x 2  y 2  z 2 )

3. Section Formulae :

5. To find the ratio in which a given point divide a given line-segment :

[1]
[2] Three Dimensional Geometry

Let P ( ,  ,  ) and A(a1, b1, c1) and B(a2, b2, c2) be three points and we have to find the ratio in which P divides
AB. Let k : 1 be the ratio. Then
ka2  a1 kb  b kc  c
  , 2 1  , 2 1  
k 1 k 1 k 1
Solving these, find k. Also if the system is inconsistent, P does not divide AB in any ratio and so P does not lie on
AB i.e. P, A, B are non-collinear.
For collinearity of three points it is the best method.
6. Direction Cosines & Direction Ratios :

Direction Cosines :
Let  ,  ,  be the angles which a directed line makes with the positive directions of the axes of x, y and z
respectively then cos  , cos  , cos  are called the direction cosines of the line.
The direction cosines are usually denoted by < l, m, n >. Then l = cos  , m = cos  , n = cos  .

Direction ratios :
Let a, b, c be proportional to the d.c.’s l, m, n then a, b, c are called the direction ratios.
Relation between D.R.’s and D.C.’s of a line:
Let a, b, c be d.r.’s and l, m, n the d.c.’s of a line, then
a b c

 a2 + b2 + c2 = r2 (l2 + m2 + n2) = r2  r  [ a 2  b 2  c 2 ]
Direction cosines l, m, n are given by
a b c
l ,m ,n where r  [(a 2  b 2  c 2 )]

D.C.’s of Axes :
Since the positive x-axis makes angles 0º, 90º, 90º with axes of x, y and z respectively,
 D.C.’s of x axes are 1, 0, 0.
 D.C.’s of x-axis are 1, 0, 0
D.C.’s of y-axis are 0, 1, 0
D.C.’s of z-axis are 0, 0, 1
Direction ratios of the line joining two points :
Let A(x1, y1, z1) and B(x2, y2, z2) be two points, then d.r.’s of AB are x2 – x1, y2 – y1, z2 – z1 and the d.c.’s of AB

7. Projection of a line on another line :


Let PQ be a line segment with P(x1, y1, z1) and Q(x2, y2, z2 ) and let L be a straight line whose d.c.’s are l, m, n.
Then the length of projection of PQ on the line L is = | l (x2 – x1) + m (y2 – y1) + n (z2 – z1) |
8. Angle between two lines :
Three Dimensional Geometry [3]

Let  be the angle between the lines with d.c.’s l1, m1, n1 and l2, m2, n2 , then cos  = l1 l2 + m1m2 + n1n2

Also, sin 2     l1m 2  l2 m1 

9. Condition for Perpendicularity and parallelism :


Let the two lines have their d.c.’s as l1, m1, n1 and l2, m2, n2 respectively then they are perpendicular if
  90º i.e. cos  = 0, i.e. l1 l2 + m1m2 + n1n2 = 0.

Also the two lines are parallel if   0o or 180o and then sin   = 0, i.e. l1  m1  n1
l2 m2 n2
If instead of d.c.’s, d.r.’s a 1 , b 1 , c 1 and a 2 , b 2 , c 2 are given, then the lines are perpendicular if
a1 a2 + b1b2 + c1c2 = 0 and parallel if a1/a2 = b1/b2 = c1/c2 .

THE STRAIGHT LINE

1. Straight Line

Definition :
A straight line in space is characterised by the intersection of two planes which are not parallel and, therefore, the
equation of a straight line is present as a solution of the system constituted by the equations of the two planes :
a1 x + b1 y + c1 z + d1 = 0; a2 x + b2 y + c2 z + d2 = 0
This form is also known as unsymmetrical form.
Some particular straight lines :

[4] Three Dimensional Geometry

2. Equation of a straight line in symmetrical form :


(i) One point form : Let A(x1, y1, z1) be a given point on the straight line and l, m, n the d.c’s of the line, then
its equation is
x  x1 y  y1 z  z1
  r (say)
l m n
It should be noted that P(x1 + lr, y1 + mr, z1 + nr) is a general point on this line at a distance r from the point
A(x1, y1, z1) i.e. AP = r. One should note that for AP = r, l, m, n must be d.c.’s not d.r.’s. If a, b, c are direction
ratios of the line, then equation of the line is
x  x1 y  y1 z  z1
  r but here AP  r
a b c
(ii) Two point form : Equation of the line through two points A(x1, y1, z1) and B(x2, y2, z2) is
x  x1 y  y1 z  z1
 
x2  x1 y2  y1 z2  z1

3. Reduction of non-symmetrical form to symmetrical form :


Let equation of the line in non-symmetrical form be
a1 x + b1 y + c1 z + d1 = 0; a2 x + b2 y + c2 z + d2 = 0
To find the equation of the line in symmetrical form, we must know (i) its direction ratios (ii) coordinates of any
point on it.
(i) Direction Ratios : Let l, m, n be the direction ratios of the line. Since the line lies in both the planes,
it must be perpendicular to normals of both planes. So
a1 l + b1 m + c1 n = 0; a2 l + b2 m + c2 n = 0
From these equations, proportional values of l, m, n can be found by cross-multiplication as
l m n
 
b1c2  b2 c1 c1a2  c2 a1 a1b2  a2b1
(ii) Point on the line : Note that as l, m, n can not be zero simultaneously, so at least one must be non-
zero. Let a1b2 – a2b1  0. Then the line cannot be parallel to x-y plane so it intersect it. Let it intersect
x-y plane in (x1, y1, 0). Then a1 x1 + b1 y1 + d1 = 0 and a2 x1 + b2 y1 + d2 = 0

Solving these, we get a point on the line.


x  x1 y  y1 z0
Then its equations becomes  
b1c2  b2 c1 c1a2  c2 a1 a1b2  a2b1
If l  0, take a point on y-z plane as (0, y1, z1) and if m  0, take a point on x-z plane as (x1, 0, z1).
4. Angle between a line and a plane :

x  x1 y  y1 z  z1
Let equations of the line and plane be   and ax + by + cz + d = 0 respectively and  be
l m n
the angle which line makes with the plane.Then (  / 2   ) is the angle between the line and the normal to the
al  bm  cn
plane. So sin  
( a 2  b 2  c 2 ) ( l 2  m2  n 2 )
Three Dimensional Geometry [5]

Line is parallel to plane if  = 0 i.e. if al + bm + cn = 0.

a b c
Line is  to the plane if line is parallel to the normal of the plane i.e. if   .
l m n

5. Condition in order that the line may lie on the given plane :

x  x1 y  y1 z  z1
The line   will lie on the plane Ax + By + Cz + D = 0 if
l m n
(i) Al + Bm + Cn = 0 and (ii) Ax1 + By1 + Cz1 + D = 0
6. Foot, length and equation of perpendicular from a point to a line :
Let equation of the line be
xa yb zc
  r (say) .......... (1)
l m n
and A ( ,  ,  ) be the point. Let l, m, n denote the actual d.c.’s of the line. Any point on the line (1) is
P(lr + a, mr + b, nr + c) .......... (2)
If it is the foot of the perpendicular, from A on the line, then AP is  to the line, so
l (lr + a –  ) + m (mr + b –  ) + n (nr + c –  ) = 0
i.e. r = (  – a) l + (  – b) m + (  – c) n
[since l2 + m2 + n2 = 1]
Putting this value of r in (2), we get the foot of perpendicular from point A to the line.
Length : Since foot of perpendicular P is known, length of perpendicular,

AP  [(lr  a   ) 2  (mr  b  ) 2  (nr  c   ) 2 ]


Equation of perpendicular is given by
x  y z
 
lr  a   mr  b   nr  c  

7. Equation of any plane through a given line :

x  x1 y  y1 z  z1
Equation of any plane through the line   is A(x – x1) + B(y – y1) + C(z – z1) = 0, where
l m n
Al + Bm + Cn = 0.
There can be infinitely many planes through a given line. Particular plane can be found if extra condition is given.
8. Condition that two given lines should intersect i.e. to be coplanar i.e. testing of skewness or coplanarity of two
given lines. Equation of plane containing two intersecting lines :
Let the two lines be

These lines will be coplanar if

 2  1  2  1  2  1
l1 m1 n1 0
l2 m2 n2

the plane containing the two lines is

x  1 y  1 z  1 x  2 y  2 z  2
l1 m1 n1  0 or l1 m1 n1  0
l2 m2 n2 l2 m2 n2

Condition of coplanarity if both lines are in general from :


Let the lines be ax + by + cz + d = 0 = a' x + b' y + c' z + d'
and x  y  z    0   x  y   z  
These are coplanar if

Skew lines :
The straight lines which are not parallel and non-coplanar i.e. non-intersecting are called skew lines.
9. Shortest distance between two skew straight lines :
Shortest distance between two skew lines is perpendicular to both.
(i) If the equations are in cartesian form :
Suppose the equation of the lines are

Then shortest distance between them is given by

         
S.D. l m n  { ( mn   m n) 2 }
l m n

(ii) If the lines intersect, then S.D.between them is zero. Therefore

2. Equations of a Plane :
The equation of every plane is of the first degree i.e. of the form ax + by + cz + d = 0, in which a, b, c are
constants, where a2 + b2 + c2  0 (i.e. a, b, c  0 simultaneously). Here a,b,c are direction ratios of the normal

Vectors
1. SCALAR QUANTITY & VECTOR QUANTITY

Scalar Quantity :
A quantity which has only magnitude and not related to any direction is called a scalar quantity.
For example, Mass, Length, Time, Temperature, Area, Volume, Speed, Density, Work, current etc
Vector Quantity :
A quantity which has magnitude and also a direction in space and which obeys triangle law of addition of
vectors, is called a vector quantity.
For example, Displacement, Velocity, Acceleration, Force, Torque, etc.

2. REPRESENTATION OF VECTORS :
r 
Vectors are represented by directed line segments. A vector a is represented by the directed line segment AB .
r r
The magnitude of vector a is equal is equal to AB and the direction of vector a is along the line form A to B.

3. TYPE OF VECTORS :
(i) Null vector or zero vector : If the initial and terminal points of a vector coincide, then it is called a zero
r
vector. It is denoted by 0 . Its magnitude is zero and direction is indeterminate.
r
(ii) Unit vector : A vector whose magnitude is of unit length along any vector a is called a unit vector in the
r
r a
direction of a and is denoted by a$ , where â  r
|a|
Note : (a) | a$ | = 1.
(b) Two unit vectors may not be equal unless they have the same direction.
(c) Unit vectors parallel to x-axis, y-axis and z-axis are denoted by i$ , $j and k$
respectively.
r
(iii) Reciprocal vector : A vector whose direction is same as that of a given vector a but its magnitude is the
r r
reciprocal of the magnitude of the given vector a is called the reciprocal of a and is denoted by a–1.
(iv) Equal vector : Two non-zero vectors are said to be equal vectors if their magnitudes are equal and
directions are same i.e. they act parallel to each other in the same direction.
(v) Negative vector : The negative of a vector is defined as the vector having the same magnitude but
opposite direction.
r  r 

For example, if a  PQ , then the negative of a is the vector QP and is denoted as – a .
(vi) Collinear vector : Two or more non-zero vectors are said to be collinear vectors if these are parallel to the
same line.
(vii) Like and unlike vector : Collinear vectors having the same direction are known as like vectors while
[1]
[2] Vectors

those having opposite direction are known as unlike vectors.


For example, the vectors given by figure (a) are like and given by figure (b) are unlike vectors.

(viii)Coplanar vector : Two or more non-zero vectors are said to be coplanar vectors if these are parallel to the
same plane.
(ix) Localised vector and free vector : A vector drawn parallel to a given vector through a specified point as
the initial point, is known as a localised vector. If the initial point of a vector is not specified it is said to be a
free vector.

(x) Position vector : Let O be the origin and let A be a point such that OA = a then, we say that the position
r
vector of A is a .

4. ADDITION OF VECTORS :
r r r r
Let a and b be any two vectors. From the terminal point of a , vector b is drawn. Then, the vector from the
r r r r
initial point O of a to the terminal point B of b is called the sum of vectors a and b and is denoted by
r r
a + b . This is called the triangle law of addition of vectors.

r r
The vectors are also added by using the following method. Let a and b be any two vectors. From the initial point
r r r
of a , vector b is drawn. let O be their common initial point. If A and B be respectively the terminal points of a
r 

(i) Vector addition is commutative, i.e. a +b = b + a .
r r r r r r
(ii) Vector addition is associative, i.e. a + (b  c ) = (a  b ) + c
r r r r r r
(iii) O + a = a  O = a .So, the a is additive identity..
r r r r r r r
(iv) a  ( a )  O = (  a )  a . So, the additive inverse of a is – a .

(b) Polygon Law of Addition of Vectors


To find the sum of any number of vectors we represent the vectors by directed line segment with the terminal
point of the previous vector as the initial point of the next vector. Then the line segment joining the initial point of
the first vector to the terminal point of the last vector will represent the sum of the vectors :

Continuity
1. DEFINITION
If the graph of a function has no break or jump, then it is said to be continuous function. A function which is not
continuous is called a discontinuous function.

2. CONTINUITY OF A FUNCTION AT A POINT

A Function f  x  is said to be continuous at some point x=a of its domain if

lim f  x   f  a 
x a

lim f  x   lim f  x   f  a 
i.e., If x  a0 x a0

i.e., If f  a  0   f  a  0   f  a 
i.e., If {LHL at x=a } = {RHL at x = a} = { value of the function at x = a } .

3. CONTINUITY FROM LEFT AND RIGHT


Function f(x) is said to be
(i) Left Continuous at x=a if lim f  x   f  a  i.e . f(a – 0) = f(a)
x a0

lim f  x   f  a 
(ii) Right Continuous at x=a if x  i.e. f (a + 0) = f (a)
a0

Thus a function f(x) is continuous at a point x= a if it is left continuous as well as right continuous at x=a.

4. CONTINUITY IN AN INTERVAL
(1) A function f(x) is continuous in an open interval (a, b) if it is continuous at every point of the interval.
(2) A function f(x) is continuous in a closed interval [a, b] if it is
(i) continuous in (a, b)
(ii) right continuous at x=a
(iii) left continuous at x=b

5. CONTINUOUS FUNCTIONS
A function is said to be continuous function if it is continuous at every point in its domain. Following are
examples of some continuous functions:
(i) f  x  x (Identify function)

(ii) f  x   c (Constant function)

(iii) f  x   a0 xn  a1xn1  .....  an (Polynomial function)

(iv) f  x   sin x,cos x (Trigonometric function)

(v) f  x   ax , ex , e–x (Expoential function)

(vi) f  x   log x (Logarithmic function)

[1]

(vii) f  x   sinh x,cosh x,tanh x (Hyperbolic function)

(viii) f  x   | x | ,x  | x | , x  | x | ,x | x | (Absolute value functions)

6. DISCONTINUOUS FUNCTIONS

A function is said to be a discontinuous function if it is discontinuous at atleast one point in its domain.
Following are examples of some discontinuous functions:

7. PROPERTIES OF CONTINUOUS FUNCTIONS


The sum, difference, product, quotient (if Dr  0 ) and composite of two continuous functions are always continuous
functions. Thus if f(x) and g(x) are continuous functions then following are also continuous functions:
(i) f  x  g x (ii) f  x   g x

(iii) f  x .g  x  (iv) f  x  , where  is a constant

g  x  if  
(v) g x 0 (vi) f  g  x  

8. IMPORTANT POINT
The discontinuity of a function f(x) at x = a can arise in two ways

(i) If xlim
a 
f(x) exist but
 f(a) or
lim f(x) exist but
x a   f(a) , then the function f(x) is said to have a
removable discontinuty.

(ii) The function f(x) is said to have an unremovable discontinuity when xlim
a
f(x) does not exist.

i.e. lim f(x)  lim f(x)


x a  x a 

Differentiability at a point
Let f(x) be a ral valued function defined on an open interval (a, b) and let c  (a, b). Then f(x) is said to be
Continuity [3]

f (x)  f (c)
differentiable or derivable at x = c, iff lim exists finitely..
xc xc
This limit is called the derivative or differential coefficient of the function f(x) at x = c, and is denoted by f '(c) or

f (x)  f (c) f (c  h)  f (c)

f (x)  f (c) f (c  h)  f (c)


lim or lim
x c  xc h  0 h
is called the right hand derivative off (x) at x = c and is denoted by f '(c  ) or Rf '(c) .
Thus, f(x) is differentiable at x = c  Lf ' (c) = Rf ' (c).
If Lf '(c)  Rf '(c) we say that f(x) is not differentiable at x = c.
Differentiability in a set
A fuction f(x) defined on an open interval (a, b) is said tobe differentiable or derivable inopen interval (a, b) if it is
differentiable at each point of (a, b)
Differentiation
Derivative
(i) The rate of change of one quantity with respect to some other quantity has a great importance. For example the
rate of change of displacement of a particle with respect to time is called its velocity and rate of change of
velocity is called its acceleration. The rate of change of a quantity ‘y’ with respect to another quantity ‘x’ is called
the derivative or differential coefficient of y with respect to x .
(ii) Let y = f(x) be a continuous function of an independent variable x. Let dx be an arbitrary small change in the
y
value of x and dy be the corresponding change in that of y. Then limit of the ratio x
as x  0 , if exists, is named
as the derivative or differential coefficient of x with respect to y and it is denoted by dy / dx
dy y
So  lim
dx x 0 x

dy f  x  x   f(x)
i.e.  lim  f ' (x)
dx x 0 x
Derivative of y with respect to x is also denoted by the following symbols : y ¢ , y1 , Dy
The process of finding derivative of a function is called differentiation.

Differentiation of Implicit Functions
If in an implicit function f(x, y) = 0, y cannot be expressed in terms of x, then we differentiate both sides of the
dy
given equation w.r.t. x and collect all terms containing on L.H.S.

NOTE : In the above process we obtain dy/dx in terms of both x and y. If we want dy/dx in terms of x only, then
let us first express y in terms of x .

Stricly Decreasing Function : A function f(x) is said to be a strictly decreasing function on (a, b) if

[2] Increasing and Decreasing Functons, Maxima and Minia

(i) If f '(x)  0 for all x  (a,b) then f(x) is increasing on (a, b)


(ii) If f '(x)  0 for all x  (a,b) , then f(x) is decreasing on (a,b).

Properties of Monotonic Function :


(i) If f(x) is strictly increasing function on an interval [a, b], then f–1 exists and it is also a strictly increasing
function.
(ii) If f(x) is strictly increasing function on an interval [a, b] such that it is continuous, then f–1 is continuous on
[f(a), f(b)].
(iii) If f(x) is continuus on [a,b] such that f '(c)  0 (f '(c)  0) for each c  (a, b), then f(x) is monotonically
(strictly) increasing function on [a,b]
(iv) If f(x) and g(x) are monotonically (or stricly) increasing (or decreasing) functions on [a, b], then gof (x) is a
monotonically (or strictly) increasing function on [a,b]
(v) If one of the two functions f(x) and g(x) is strictly (or monotonically) increasing and other a strictly
(monotonically) increasing and other a strictly (monotonically) decreasing, then gof(x) is strictly (monotonically)
decreasing on [a, b].

MAXIMA AND MINIMA


Let f(x) be a function with domain D  R . Then f(x) is said to attain the maximum value at a point a  D if
f (x)  f (a) for all x  D
In such a case, a is called the point of maximum and f(a) is known as the maximum value or the greatest value.
Local Maximum : A function f(x) is said to attain a local maximum at x = a if there exists a neighbourhood .
(a   ,a   ) of a such that
f(x) < f(a) for all x  (a   ,a   ), x  a
or f(x) – f(a) < 0 for all x  (a   ,a   ) , x  a
In such a case f(a) is called the local maximum value of f(x) at x = a.

Local Minimum : A function f(x) is said to attain a local minimum at x = a if there exists a neighbourhood
(a   ,a   ) of a such that f(x) > f(a) for all x  (a   ,a   ), x  a
or f(x) – f(a) > 0 for all x  (a   ,a   ), x  a
The value of the function at x = a i.e. f(a) is called the local minimum value of f(x) at x = a

Theorem : A necessary condition for f(a) to be an extreme value of a function f(x) is that f '(a) = 0 in case it
exists. A function may however attain an extreme value at a point without being derivable thereat. For
example, the function f(x) = |x| attains the minimum value at the origin even though it isnot derivable at
x = 0.

Remark : Above condition is only a necessary condition for the point. x = a to be an extreme point. It is not
sufficient i.e. f '(a) does not necessarily imply that x = a is an extreme point. For example for the
function f(x) = x3, f '(0) = 0 but at x = 0 the function does not attain an extreme value.

Remark : The value of x for which f '(x) = 0 are called stationary values or critical values of x and the
corresponding values of f(x) are called stationary or turning values of f(x).
Increasing and Decreasing Functons, Maxima and Minia [3]

Theorem : (First derivative test for local maximum and minima) Let f(x) be a function differentiable at x = a.
Then,
(A) x = a is a point of local maximum of f(x), if
(i) f '(a)  0 and
(ii) f '(x) changes sign from positive to negative as x passes through a i.e. f '(x)  0 at every point in the
left nbd (a   ,a) and f '(x)  0 at every point in the right nbd (a,a   ) of a.
(B) x = a is a point of local minimum of f(x), if
(i) f '(a)  0 and
(ii) f '(x) changes sign from negative to positive as x passes through a i.e. f '(x)  0 at every point in the
left nbd (a   ,a) of a and f '(x)  0 at every point in the right nbd (a,a   ) of a.
(C) If f '(a)  0 but f '(x) does not change sign, that is f '(a) has the same sign in the complete nbd of a , then
a is neither a point of local maximum nor a point of local minimum.
Theorem : (Higher order derivative test). Let f be a differentiable function on an interval I and let c be an
interior point of I such that
(i) f '(c)  f ''(c)  f '''(c)  ...  f n 1 (c)  0 and
(ii) f n (c) exists and is non-zero
Then,
(a) If n is even and f n (c)  0  x  c is a point of local maximum.
(b) If n is even and f n (c)  0  x  c is a point of local minimum
(c) If n is odd  x = c is neither a point of local maximum nor a point of local minimum.

Point of inflection : An arc of a curve y = f(x) is called concave upward if, at each of its points, the arc lies
above the tangent at the point. An arc of a curve y = f(x) is called concave downward if, at
each of its points, the arc lies below the tangent at the point.

A curve y = f(x) has one of its points x = c as an inflection point
If f ''(c)  0 or is not defined and
If f ''(x) changes sign as x increases through x = c.
The later condition may be replaced by f '''(c)  0 when f '''(c) exists.
Thus, x = c is a point of inflection if f ''(c)  0 and f '''(c)  0 .
Critical point : A point x   is a critical point of a function f(x) if
f '( )  0 or f '( ) does not exist.
Statistics
MEASURES OF CENTRAL TENDENCY, DISPERSION
One of the most important objectives of statistical analysis is to get one single value that describes the characteristic
of the entire data. Such a value is called the central value or an average.
The following are the important types of averages:
1. Arithmetic Mean
2. Geometric Mean
3. Harmonic mean
4. Median
5. Mode
We consider these measures in three cases (i) Individual series (i.e. each individual observation is given) (ii)
discrete series (i.e the observations along with number of times a particular observation called the frequency is
given) (iii) continuous series (i.e. the class intervals along with their frequencies are given)
ARITHMETIC MEAN

(i) Individual Series : If x1 , x 2 .........xn are the values of the variable x , then the arithmetic mean usually
denoted by x is given by

x1  x2 .....  xn 1 n
x   xi
n n i 1

(ii) Discrete Series : If a variable takes values x1 , x 2 .........xn with corresponding frequencies

f1, f2 ….. fn then the arithmetic mean x is given by


n n
f1 x1  f 2 x2 .....  f n xn 1
x
f1  f 2 ....  f n

N

i 1
fi xi , where N   fi
i 1

(iii) Continuous Series : In case of a set of data with class intervals, we cannot find the exact value of the mean
because we do not know the exact values of the variables. We, therefore, try to obtain an approximate
value of the mean. The method of approximate is to replace all the observed values belonging to a class by
mid-value of the class. If x1, x2 … xn are the mid values of the class intervals having corresponding
frequencies f1, f2 … fn then we apply the same formula as in discrete series.

MODE
The mode is that value in a series of observations which occurs with greatest frequency. In case of individual
series, for determining the mode, count the number of times the various values repeat themselves and the value
occurring the maximum number of times in the model value.
In case of discrete series, quite often mode can be determined just by inspection i.e. by looking to that value of
variable around which the items are most heavily concentrated.
In case of continuous series,
f1  f 0
Mode  l  h

Where l  the lower limit of the modal class i.e. the class having maximum frequency; f1 = frequency of the
modal class; f0= frequency of the class preceding the modal class; f2 = frequency of the class succeeding the
modal class and h = width of the modal class.
When mode is ill-defined i.e. there are two or more values which occur with equal maximum frequency, the
mode can be computed by
Mode = 3 median - 2 mean

Properties of Variance :

1. Let x1 , x 2 , x 3 ,....., x n be n values of a variable X. If these values are changed to x1 + a, x2 + a, ...., xn + a,


where a  R , then the variance remains unchanged.

Probability
1. EXPERIMENT:
An operation which results in some well-defined outcomes is called an experiment.

2. RANDOM EXPERIMENT:
The experimenet about which no confirm prediction is possible, is called the random experiment.
e.g. (i) Tossing a coin, (ii) Throwing a die etc.

3. SAMPLE SPACE:
The set of all possible outcomes of an experiment is called the sample space, which is denoted by S.
e.g. (i) On throwing a die, sample space is
5 = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} and n(S) = 6
(ii) On tossing two coins, sample space is
S = {H, T} × {H, T} = {HH, HT, TH, TT}.
n(S) = 4

4. EVENT:
Every subset of sample space is defined as the event. It is denoted by E.
e.g. (i) The event of appearing odd numbers in throwing a die is
E = {1, 3, 5}
and E  S, where S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}

5. TYPES OF EVENTS :

(i) Null Event or Impossible Event: It has no member and is denoted by .


e.g.(a) On throwing a die the event of appearing member 7 is an impossible event.
(ii) Sure Event: Since S  S, so S is an event which is called sure event.
(iii) Simple Event or Elementary Event: It has only one member.
e.g. (b) On throwing a die the event of appearing prime even number is E = {2} which is a simple event.
(iv) Mixed Event or Composite event or
Compound Event: This event has two or more than 2 members.
e.g.: On throwing a die the event of appearing even numbers is
E = {2, 4, 6} which is a compound event.
(v) Mutually Exclusive Events: Events E1 and E2 are mutually exclusive if E1 I E 2  
e.g.: In drawing a card from a pack of 52 cards, the events
A  the event when the card drawn is spade
B  the event when the card drawn is a heart are mutually exclusive events.
(vi) Mutually Exclusive and Exhaustive Events:
Events E1, E2, E3, .........., En are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events if

e.g. On throwing a die if
A = the event of appearing odd numbers = {1, 3, 5}
B = The event of appearing even numbers = {2, 4, 6}
Then A  B  

and A  B  S  1, 2,3, 4,5, 6


A and B are mutually exclusive and exhaustive events.

(v) Complement of an Event E:
It is denoted by E ' or EC or E and it is the set of all sample points of sample space not of event E.
On throwing a , die, S = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6}
If event be E = {1, 2, 3}
then E = {4, 5, 6}

10. SOME OTHER TYPES OF EVENTS:


Independent Events: Two or more events are raid to be independent if occurrence or non-occurrence of
any one of them does not affect the occurrence or non-occurrence of other.
e.g. If a bag contains 3 red and 2 black balls and if two balls are drawn one by one with replacements, then
events are independent events.
Dependent Events: Two or more events are said to be dependent, if occurrence or non-occurrence of any
one of them affects occurrence or non-occurrence of others.
e.g. Let a bag contains 3 red and 2 black balls. Two balls are drawn one by one without replacement. Then
these events are dependent events.
Equally Likely Events: Outcomes are said to be equally likely which we have no reason to believe that
one is more likely to occur then the other.
e.g. When an unbiased die is thrown all the six faces 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 are equally likely to come up.

Let A and B be any two events such that B   or n  B  0 or P  B   0, then P(A/B) denotes the

3. FUNCTION
Let A and B be two given sets and if a rule associates to each element a  A, a unique element b  B, then
this rule f is called a function from A to B. It is denoted by f : A  B.
If an element a  A is associated with b  B under the function f, then the element b is called the f image
of a or the value of f at a. It is denoted by the symbols
b = f (a) or f : a  b or (a, b)  f
Also a is called the pre-image of b under f.
Remarks :

(ii) uniquenees of f-image of every element of the set A.

4. FUNCTION AS A SET OF ORDERED PAIRS


A function f : A  B can be expressed as a set of ordered pair is a member of A and second element is the
member of B. Hence f is a set of ordered pairs (a, b) such that
(i) a is an element of A
(ii) b is an element of B
(iii) no two ordered pairs of f have the same first element
(iv) every member of A is a first element of one of the ordered pairs of f
f : A  B is a subset of A × B. It is expressed in the form of ordered pairs as follows :
f = {(a, b)/b = f(a), a  A and b  B}

DOMAIN, CO-DOMAIN AND RANGE OF A FUNCTION


Suppose that f is a function from A to B, i.e. f : A  B, then set A is called the domain and set B is called the co-
domain.
Also the set of all f-images of the elements of A is called the range of f and it is denoted by f(A).
Therefore f(A) = {f(a) | a  A}  B. If f is expressed in terms of ordered pairs, then set of first element of
ordered pairs of f will be domain and set of second elements of these ordered pairs will be range of f i.e.
Domain of f = {x | (x, y)  f }
Range of f = {y | (x, y)  f }

Let X = {x1, x2, x3, ........ xm} (i.e. m elements)

[4] Functions and Relations

In the above given mapping rule f1 and f2 shows a function because each elements of X is associated with
a unique element of Y. Where as f3 is not function because in f3 element c is associated with two elements
of Y.
Algebraic Method : It show the relation between the elements of two sets in the from of two variables x
and y where x is independent variable and y is depended variable.
If X and Y be two given sets X = {1, 2, 3}, Y = {5, 7, 9} then f : X ® Y, y = f(x) = 2x + 3
In the form of ordered pairs : A function f : X  Y can be expressed as a set of ordered piers in which
first element of every ordered pair is a member of X and second element is the member of Y. So f is a set
of order pairs (a, b) such that
(i) a is an element of X (ii) b is an element of Y
(iii) Two ordered pairs should not have the same first element.
Vertical line test for a function : If we are given a graph of the relation. Then we can check whether the
given relation is function or not. If it is possible to draw. a vertical line which cuts the given curve at more
than one point then given relation is not a function and when this vertical line means line parallel to y-axis
cuts the curve at only one point then it is a function. Fig represents a function.

CLASSIFICATION OF FUCNTION

INCREASING FUNCTION
A function f(x) is called increasing function in the domain D if the value of the function does not decreases by
increasing the value of x.
So x1 > x2  f(x1)  f(x2)  x1, x2  Domain
or x1 < x2  f(x1)  f(x2)  x1, x2  Domain
e.g. f(x) = ex, f(x) = ax, f(x) = x2, x  0, f(x) = x|x| are increasing functions.
The graph of these functions rises from left to right.

DECREASING FUNCTION
A function f(x) is said to be decreasing function in the domain D if the value of the function does not increase by
increasing the value of x (variable).
So if x1 > x2  f(x1)  f(x2)  x1, x2,  D
or x1 < x2  f(x1)  f(x2)  x1, x2  D
e.g. f(x) = loga x(a < 1), f(x) = e–x are decreasing function. The graph of these functions is downward from left to

A function is called strictly decreasing if


If x1 > x2  f(x1) < f(x2)
Or x1 < x2  f(x1) > f(x2)  x1, x2  D
Note : It is not essential for any function to be increasing or decreasing. There are some functions which are
neither increasing nor decreasing i.e. function is increasing in one part of given interval and decreasing in second
part.
e.g. f(x) = sin x, f(x) = |x|, f(x) = ex + e–x

PERIODIC FUNCTION
A fuction f(x) is periodic if there is a positive number T such that f(x + T) = f(x) for all x  D.The smallest value
of such T is called the principal or fundamental period of function f(x).If we draw graph of a periodic function
f(x), we find graph gets repeated after each interval of length T.
Functions and Relations [11]

· Obviously, if T is the period of f(x), then f(x) = f (x + T) = f (x + 2T) = f (x + 3T) = ............


e.g. y = sin x is periodic with period 2 p as sin(x + 2p) = sin x. Graphically.

RULES FOR FINDING PERIOD OF A PERIODIC FUNCTION

period T.
T

(iii) If f(x) is periodic with T 1 as the period and g(x) is periodic with T 2 as the period and L.C.M. of T1 & T2 is
possible, then f(x) + g(x) is periodic with period equal to L.C.M. of T1 & T 2, provided f(x) and g(x) connot
be interchanged by adding a positive number in x which is less than L.C.M. of T1 & T2 in this case this
number becomes period of f(x) ± g(x).
1
(iv) If f(x) is periodic with period T, then is also periodic with same period T..
f(x)

(v) If f(x) is periodic with period T, f ( x ) is also periodic with same period T..

(vi) If f(x) is a periodic function with period T and g(x) is a strictly monotonic function. Then g(f((x)) will also be
periodic with period T.
(vii) Constant function is periodic with no-fundamental period.

VALUE OF THE FUCNTION


If y = f(x) is any function defined in R, then for any given value of x(say x = a), the value of the function f(x)
can be obtained by substituting x = a in it and it is denoted by f(a).

TYPE OF FUNCTION
One-one or injective Function : A function f : X  Y is said to be one-one or injective if distinct elements of
X have distinct image in Y. Therefore for any two elements x1, x2 of a set X,
x1  x2  f(x1)  f(x2)
or f(x1) = f(x2)  x1 = x2 then function is one-one

19.3 Onto or Surjective Function : A function f : X  Y is said to be onto or surjective if every element of Y

Note : For a function to be onto or into depends mainly on their co-domain.

20. Composite of Functions


Let f : X  Y and g : Y  Z be two functions, the composite of the function f and g denoted by gof, is
a function from X to Z given by
gof : X  Z, (gof) (x) = g[f(x)].
Obviously gof is defined if
range of f  domain of g.
Also domain of gof = f-primage of {Rf  Dg}.
In particular when Rf = Dg, then Dgof = Df
Properties of Composite function :
The following properties of composite functions can easily be established.
(i) Composite of functions is not commutative i.e. fog  gof
(ii) Composite of functions is associative i.e. (fog)oh = fo(goh)
Functions and Relations [15]

(iii) Composite of two bijection is also a bijection

INVERSE FUNCTION
If f : X  Y be a one-one onto (bijection) function, then the mapping f–1 : Y  X which associates each
element y  Y with element x  X, such that f(x) = y, is called the inverse function of the function f : X  Y
f–1 : Y  X, f–1 (y) = x  f(x) = y
In terms of ordered pair inverse function is defined as-
f–1 = {(y, x) | (x, y)  f}
Note : For the existence of inverse function, it should be one-one and onto.
Properties :
(i) Inverse of a bijection is also a bijection function.
(ii)Inverse of a bijection a unique.
(f–1)–1 = f
(iii)
(iv)If f and g are two bijections such that (gof) exists then
(gof)–1 = f–1og–1
(v) If f : X  Y is a bijection then f –1 : Y  X is an inverse function of f.
f–1of = Ix and fof–1 = Iy
Here Ix is an identity function on set X, and Iy, is an identity function on set Y.

RELATION
Let A and B be two non-empty sets. A relation from set A to set B is a subset of A × B.
Thus, if R is a relation from A to B then R  A × B. Also, if (a, b)  R, then we say that a is R-related to
b and denote this by aRb.
In particular, if B = A then the subsets of A × A are called relations from the set A to the set A or simply as
relations in the set A.
Illustrations (i). Let A = {1, 3, 5, 7}, B = {6, 8}. Let R be the relation ‘‘is less than’’ from A to B.
 1R6, 1R8, 3R6, 3R8, 5R6, 5R8, 7R8.
Equivalently, R = {(1, 6), (1, 8), (3, 6), (3, 8), (5, 6), (5, 8), (7, 8)}.
(ii) Let A = {1, 2, 3, ......., 32}.
Let R be the relation ‘‘is one fourth of’’ in A.
 1R4, 2R8, 3R12, 4R16, 5R20, 6R24, 7R28, 8R32
Equivalently, R = {(1, 4), (2, 8), (3, 12), (4, 16), (5, 20), (6, 24), (7, 28), (8, 32)}.

DOMAIN AND RANGE


If R is a relation from A to B, then the set of first elements of elements in R is called the domain of R and
the set of second elements of elements in R is called the range of R.
Symbolically,
Domain of R = {x : (x, y)  R}; Range of R = {y : (x, y)  R}.
Domain of R is a subset of A and range of R is a subset of B.
For example,
R = {(4, 7), (5, 8), (6, 10)} is relation from A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6} to the set B = {6, 7, 8, 9, 10}.
 Domain of R = {4, 5, 6}. This is a subset of A..
Range of R = {7, 8, 10}. This is a subset of B.
[16] Functions and Relations

NUMBER OF RELATIONS
Let A and B be two non-empty finite sets consisting of m and n elements respectively.
 A × B contains mn ordered pairs.
mn
 Total number of subsets of A × B is 2 .
Since each relation from A to B is a subset of A × B, then total number of relations from A to B is 2mn.

TYPES OF RELATIONS
(i) A relation R in a set A is called the universal relation in A if R = A × A.
For example, if A = {2, 6}, then the universal relation in A is the set {(2, 2), (2, 6), (6, 2) (6, 6)}.
(ii) A relation R in a set A is called the identity relation in A if R = {(a, a); a  A}.
For example, if A = {a, b, c}, then the identity relation in A is the set {(a, a), (b, b), (c, c)}.
(iii) A relation R in a set A is called a void relation in A if R = 
For example, if A = {1, 2, 3} and let R be the relation defined by aRb iff a – b = 2 . The relation
R =   A × A is void relation.
(iv) A relation R in a set A is called a reflexive relation if (a, a)  R  a  A. i.e., aRa  a  A
For example, if A = {2, 4, 7}, then the relation {(2, 2), (2, 4), (4, 4), (7, 7)} is reflexive.
(v) A relation R in a set A is called a symmetric relation if (a, b)  R then (b, a)  R, i.e., aRb implies bRa.
For example, if A = {2, 4, 7}, then the relation {(2, 4), (4, 2), (7, 7)} is symmetric.
(vi) A relation R in a set A is called a transitive relation if (a, b), (b, c)  R then (a, c)  R, i.e., aRb, bRc
implies aRc.
For example, if A = {2, 4, 7}, then the relation {(2, 4), (4, 7), (2, 7), (4, 4)} is transitive.
(vii) A relation R in a set A is called an equivalence relation if R is reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
 For an equivalence relation R in A, we have
(i) aRa  a  A (ii) aRb  bRa (iii) aRb and bRc  aRc
For example, if A = {1, 3, 4, 7}, then the relation {(1, 1), (1, 3), (3, 1), (3, 3) , (4, 4), (7, 7),(4, 7) (7,4)}
is an equivalence relation.
(viii) A relation R in a set A is called an anti-symmetric relation if (a, b), (b, a)  R then a = b.
(ix) If R is a relation from A to B, then the inverse relation of R is a relation from B to A and is defined as
{(y, x) : (x, y)  R}. The inverse relation of R is denoted by R–1.
For example, if R = {(1, 4), (9, 15), (10, 2)} is a relation in A, then R–1 = {(4, 1), (15, 9), (2, 10)} is the
inverse relation of R.
(x) Let R and S be two relations from the sets A to B and B to C respectively, we define a relation SoR from A
to C as follows :
(a, c)  SoR iff (a, b)  R and (b, c)  S for some b  B. This relation SoR is called the
composition of the relation R and S.
For example, let A = {2, 3, 4}, B = {1, 5, 7}, C = {1, 3, 6, 8}.
Let R = {(2, 1), (2, 5), (3, 5), (4, 1), (4, 7)} be a relation from A to B.
Let S = {(1, 3), (5, 3), (5, 6), (7, 6), (7, 8)} be a relation from B to C.
 SoR = {(2, 3), (5, 3), (3, 3), (4, 3), (4, 6), (4, 8)} is a relation from A to C.
Note : (4, 6), (4, 8)  SoR because (4, 7)  R and (7, 6), (7, 8)  S.
Functions and Relations [17]

IMPORTANT TIPS :
1. Total number of relations from set A to set B is equal to 2n(A) n (B).
2. The universal relation on a non-empty set is always reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
3. The identity relation on a non-empty set is always reflexive, symmetric and transitive.
4. The identity relation on a non-empty set is always anti-symmetric.
5. If R is a relation from A to B and S is a relation from B to C then (RoS)–1 = S–1oR–1.
6. For two relations R and S, the composite relations RoS, SoR may be void relations.
INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC
FUNCTIONS
INVERSE TRIGONOMETRIC FUNCTIONS
If sin  = x is a trigonometrical equation, then the value of  which satisfies this equation is denoted by sin–1 x
and it is read as ‘sine inverse x’. It is called inverse function of sine. Similarly inverse functions of other
trigonometrical functions are defined. Hence inverse functions of trigonometrical functions are defined as follows-
sin–1 x =   sin  = x
cos–1 x =   cos  = x
–1
tan x =   tan  = x
–1
cot x =   cot  = x
sec–1 x =   sec  = x
–1
cosec x =   cosec  = x

DOMAIN AND RANGE OF INVERSE FUNCTIONS


As we know that in direct trigonometric functions, we are given the angle and we calculate the trigonometric ratio
(sine, cosine, etc.) or the value at that angle. Also to many values of the angle the value of trigonometric ratio is
 5 9
same e.g., tan  = 1 for   , , , etc. Inverse trigonometry deals with obtaining the angles, given the value
4 4 4
of a trigonometric ratio. In inverse trigonometry some restrictions have been imposed on the angles, and these are
based on the principle values of the angles.
 
The inverse of sine function is defined as sin–1x =  or arc sin x =  , where 1  x  1 and     e.g.,

Limits
1. DEFINITION
The real number ‘ l ’ is called the limit of a function f(x) as ‘x’ tends to ‘a’ if for any  0 and howsoever
small there exists a real number d such that.
0 < |x – a| <   |f(x) – l | < 
and then we write, lim f  x  = l
x a

2. INDETERMINATE FORMS
The concept of limit was evolved to deal with indeterminate forms of some functions at some specific
x2  4
points. For example the function f(x) = is ready to give its values at x = 0 , –1, 1, 3, 2 ..... etc.
x2

Q f(0) = 2, f(–1) = 1, f(1) = 3, f ( 2 ) = (2 + 2 ).......etc.} but it fails to give its value at x = 2,

22  4 0
as f (2) =  (known as an indeterminate form)
22 0

0
(Note, that is capable of assuming any value, that is why it is called ‘indeterminate’), So in this case we
0
find the limit, as follows.

x2  4 (x  2) (x  2)
lim f ( x )  lim = lim = lim
x 2
(x + 2) = 4 ....(1)
x 2 x 2 x2 x2 x2
Following indeterminate forms are in our course, namely
0 
(i) (ii) (iii) 0   (iv)    (v) 1 (vi)  0 (vii) 0 0
0 

3. EVALUATION OF LEFT HAND LIMIT (LHL) AND RIGHT HAND LIMIT (RHL)
When 'x' approaches to 'a' i.e. when x  a then this variable 'x' on R–line can do this job in two ways one
form the left hand side i.e. from negative side of the fixed point ‘a’ and second form the right hand side (i.e.
from positive side) of ‘a’ as shown in the figure below

- (Left hand side) x x (Right hand side) +


a R-line

lim f ( x ) or by lim f(x) and similarly RHL by lim f ( x ) or by lim f ( x ) and are
LHL is denoted by x  a 0 x a 
x a0 x a
determined as (i.e., working rule is)

LHL = xlim f(x) = lim f  a - h  and RHL  lim f ( x)  lim f (a  h) ; where h > 0
a 
h 0 x a h 0

EXISTENCE OF LIMIT :
The limit of a function at a point exists if both left and right limits of the function at that point exist and are
equal. Thus xlim f  x  exists  lim f  x  = lim f  x 
a xa- x a +
Note :– (i) Limit of a function at a point (if exists) is unique.

(ii) If at some point of a continuous function its value and limit both exist, then they are
necessarily equal.

the function does not take indeterminate form.

(iv) Expansion Method : Using expansion of functions


If x  0 and there is atleast one function in the given expression which can be expanded, then we express
Nr and Dr in the ascending powers of x and remove the common factor there.
The following expansions of some standard functions should be remembered:
(v) When x  
This type of problems are solved by the taking the highest power of the terms tending to infinity as
common in numerator and denominator then take the limit of the function.
(vi) Simplification:
In this method the indeterminate form is removed by simplifying the expression.

PERMUTATIONS & COMBINATIONS
1. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE OF COUNTING
Multiplication Principle : If an operation can be performed in ‘m’ different ways; following which a second
operation can be performed in ‘n’ different ways, then the two operations in succession can be performed in
m × n ways. This can be extended to any finite number of operations.
Addition Principle : If an operation can be performed in ‘m’ different ways and another operation, which is
independent of the first operation, can be performed in ‘n’ different ways. Then either of the two operations can
be performed in (m + n) ways. This can be extended to any finite number of mutually exlusive operations.

2. FACTORIALS
If n is a natural number then the product of all natural numbers upto n is called factorial n and it is denoted by
n ! or n .

3. PERMUTATION
Each of the different arrangements which can be made by taking some or all of a number of given things is called
a permutation.

4. COUNTING FORMULAE FOR PERMUTATIONS


(I) Without Repetition :
(i) The number of permutations of n different things, taking r at a time is denoted by nPr or P(n, r)
(ii) The number of arrangements of n different objects taken all at a time is nPn = n !

(II) With Repetition :


(i) The number of permutations of n things taken all at a time when p are alike of one kind, q are alike of
second kind and r are alike of a third kind and the rest n – (p + q + r) are all different is
n!
p! q! r!
(ii) The number of permutations of n different things taken r at a time when each thing may be repeated
any number of times is nr.
(III) Number of permutations under certain conditions :
 The number of permutation of n different things taken all together when r particular things are to be
placed at some r given places
= n–rPn–r = n  r
 The number of permutations of n different things taken r at a time when m particular things are to be
placed at m given places = n–mPr–m. (m < r)
 Number of permutations of n different things, taken r at a time, when a particular thing is to be always
included in each arrangement, is.
r . n – 1P r – 1
 Number of permutation of n different things, taken r at a time, when a particular thing is never taken in
n–1
each arrangement is Pr
 Number of permutations of n different things, taken all at a time, when m specified things always come
together is m ! × (n – m + 1)!

[1]
[2] Permutations and Combinations

 Number of permutations of n different things, taken all at a time, when m specified things never come
together is n ! – ( m ! × (n – m + 1) !)
(IV) Circular Permutations :
(i) Arrangement around a circular table :
The number of circular permutations of n different things taken all at a time is (n – 1) !, if clockwise and
anticlockwise orders are taken as different.
(ii) Arrangement of beads or flowers (all different) around a circular necklace or garland :
1
The number of circular permutations of n different things taken all at a time is (n –1) !, if clockwise
2
and anticlockwise orders are taken as not different.
(iii) Number of circular permutations of n different things taken r at a time :
 Case I : If clockwise and anticlockwise orders are taken as different, then the required number
of circular permutations = (nPr)/r.
 Case II : If clockwise and anticlockwise n
orders are taken as not different, then the required
number of circular permutations = ( Pr)/(2r).
(iv) Restricted Circular Permutations
When there is a restriction in a circular permutation then first of all we shall perform the restricted part
of the operation and then perform the remaining part treating it similar to a linear permutation.

5. COMBINATION
Each of the different groups or selections which can be made by some or all of a number of given things without
reference to the order of the things in each group is called a combination.

6. COUNTING FORMULAE FOR COMBINATION


(I) Selections of objects without repetition
n
The number of combinations of n differnt things taken r at a time is denoted by nCr or C (n, r) or  
r
(II) Selections of objects with repetition :
The total number of selections of r things from n differents things when each thing may be repeated any
number of times is n + r–1Cr
(III) Restricted Selections / Arrangements :
(i) The number of combinations of n different things taken r at a time,
n–k
 when k particular objects occur is Cr – k.

METHOD OF INTEGRATION
Integration by Substitution
(a) When integrand is the product of two factors such that one is the derivative of the other i.e,

I=  f (x) f ' (x) dx


In this case we put f(x) = t to convert it into a standard integral.
(b) When integrand is a function of function
Indefinite Integration [3]

i.e.  f [  (x) ]  ' (x) dx

Here we put f(x) = t so that f ' (x) dx = dt and in that case the integrand is reduced to  f (t) dt .
(c) Integral of a function of the form (ax+b) dx

Here put ax + b = t and convert it into standard integral. Obviously if  f (x) dx  (x), then

(i) How to choose Ist and IInd function : If two functions are of different types take that function as Ist which
comes first in the word ILATE, where I stands for inverse circular function, L stands for logrithmic function,
A stands for algebric functions, T stands for trigonometric and E for exponential functions.
(ii) For the integration of logarthmic or inverse trigonometric functions alone, take unity (1) as the second
function

(b) If the integral is of the form  e [f( x)  f ' (x)] dx then by breaking this integral into two integrals, integrate one
integral by parts and keep other integral as it is, By doing so, we get -  e x [f(x)  f '(x) ] dx  e x f(x)  c

(c) If the integral is of the form  [ x f ' (x)  f (x)] dx then by breaking this integral into two integrals integrate one
