Matrix Basics for Students
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.

[2] Matrices and Determinants
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
A B A C
(v) B A C A B = C (Cancellation law)
(vi) Trace (A ± B) = trace (A) ± trace (B)
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

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
(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.
(ii) If A, B are two symmetric matrices, then-
(a) A ± B, AB + BA are also symmetric matrices.
(b) AB – BA is a skew-symmetric matrix.
(c) AB is a symmetric matrix when AB = BA
(iii) If A, B are two skew-symmetric matrices, then-
(a) A ± B, AB – BA are skew-symmetric matrices.
(b) AB + BA is a symmetric matrix.

DETERMINANT OF A MATRIX
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

Hence if A = .... .... .... .... , then adj A = .... .... .... .... .... .... .... ....

(iv) |adj (adj A)| = | A |(n1) (v) adj (AT) = (adj A)T
(vi) adj (AB) = (adj B) (adj A) (vii) adj (Am) = (adj A)m, m N
(viii) adj (kA) = kn–1 (adj A), k R (ix) adj (In) = In
(x) adj 0 = 0 (xi) A is symmetric adj A is also symmetric.
(xii) A is diagonal adj A is also diagonal. (xiii) A is triangular adj A is also triangular..
(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

A A–1 = | A | adj A
(vii) A = diag (a1,a2, ...., an) A–1 = diag (a1–1 , a2–1, ....., an–1)
(viii) A is symmetric A–1 is also symmetric.
(ix) A is diagonal |A| 0 A–1 is also diagonal.
(x) A is scalar matrix A–1 is also scalar matrix.
(xi) A is triangular |A| 0 A–1 is also triangular..
Orthogonal Matrix
A square matrix A is called orthogonal if
AAT = I = ATA ; i.e., if A–1 = AT
Idempotent matrix
A square matrix A is called an idempotent matrix if A2 = A
Matrices and Determinants [7]
Involutory Matrix
A square matrix A is called an involutory matrix if A2 = I or A–1 = A
Nilpotent matrix
A square matrix A is called a nilpotent matrix if there exist a p N such that AP = 0
Hermition matrix
Period of a matrix
If for any matrix A Ak+1 = A
then k is called period of matrix (where k is a least positive integer)
Differentiation of matrix
f ( x ) g( x )
If A = h( x ) l( x )
dA f ' ( x ) g' ( x )
then dx h' ( x ) l' ( x ) is a differentiation of matrix A
Submatrix
Let A be m × n matrix, then a matrix obtained by leaving some rows or columns or both of a is called a sub matrix
of A
Rank of a matrix
A number r is said to be the rank of a m × n matrix A if
(a) every square sub matrix of order (r + 1) or more is singular and
(b) there exists at least one square submatrix of order r which is non-singular.
Thus, the rank of matrix is the order of the highest order non-singular sub matrix.
5 6
We have |A| = 0 therefore r (A) is less then 3, we observe that 4 5 is a non-singular square sub matrix of
order 2 hence r (A) 2.
Note :
(i) The rank of the null matrix is zero.
(ii) The rank of matrix is same as the rank of its transpose i.e., r(A) = r(AT)
(iii) Elementary transformation of not alter the rank of matrix.

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]
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)11a11 ( 1)1 2 a12 21 (1)13 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 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.
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]
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
APPLICATIONS OF DETERMINANT

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.,
zero solution or trivial solution.

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

[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
r (say)
l m n
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 )]
r r r
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

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.

6. Foot, length and equation of perpendicular from a point to a line :
Let equation of the line be
xa yb zc
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,
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

Al + Bm + Cn = 0.
There can be infinitely many planes through a given line. Particular plane can be found if extra condition is given.

line PQ is also a point on the locus.
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
to the plane.

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
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

(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.
r
(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
and b , then parallelogram OACB is completed with OA and OB as adjacent sides. The vector OC is defined as
r r
the sum of a and b . This is called the parallelogram law of addition of vectors.
B C
b a +b

Thus if, OA a , AB b , BC c , CD d , DE e and EF f then
r r r r r r
a b c d e f OA AB BC CD DE EF OF
If the terminal point F of the last vector coincide with initial point of the first vector then
r r r r r r r
a b c d e f OA AB BC CD DE EO O , i.e. the sum of vectors is zero or null vector in
this case.

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.
lim f x f a
x a
lim f x lim f x f a
i.e., If x a0 x a0
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 } .
lim f x f a
(ii) Right Continuous at x=a if x i.e. f (a + 0) = f (a)
a0
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)
[1]
[2] Continuity
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:
f x
,
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.
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..
xc xc
This limit is called the derivative or differential coefficient of the function f(x) at x = c, and is denoted by f '(c) or

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.
dx
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 .
dy f f

dx x y
f f
where x and y are partial derivatives of f ( x ,y ) with respect to x and y respectively..
[By partial derivative of f(x , y) with respect to x, we mean the derivative of f(x, y) with respect to x when y is
treated as a constant.]
Logarithmic differentiation
If differentiation of an expression or an equation is done after taking log on both sides, then it is called logarithmic
differentiation. Generally we apply this method when given expression is in one of the following forms
(i) [f (x)]g(x)
(ii) product of three or more function
Some Suitable substitutions
(i) If the function involve the term a 2 x 2 , then substitute x = a sin or x = a cos
(ii) If the function involve the term x2 a2 , then substitute x = a tan or x = a cot
(iii) If the function involve the term x 2 a2 , then substitute x = a sec or x = a cosec

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.

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
(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.

(ii) If each observation is increased or decreased by a given constant K, the mean is also increased or decreased
by K
[1]
[2] Statistics
The property is also known as effect of change of origin. K can be taken to be any number. However, to
simplify the calculations, K should be taken as a value which is in the middle of the table.
(iii) Step Deviation Method or change of scale
If x1 , x2 .............xn are mid values of class intervals with corresponding frequencies f1, f2,…., fn then we
xi A
may change the scale by taking di , in this case.
h

x A h
N
f d i i
A and h can be any numbers but if the lengths of class intervals are equal then h may be taken as width of
the class interval.
In particular if each observation is multiplied or divided by a constant, the mean is also multiplied or divided
by the same constant.
(iv) The sum of the squared deviation of the variate from their mean is minimum i.e., the quantity
2 2
x A
i or fi xi A is minimum when A x
(v) If x i and x 2 be the means of two related groups having n1 and n2 items respectively then the combined

mean x of both the groups is given by x
n1 n2
If x1, x2, ....., xn are n vlaues of a variable X and w1 , w 2 ,....., w n denote respectively their weights, then their

MEDIAN
It refers to the middle value in a distribution.

In case of odd number of values

the median is obtained by Median = l C
f 2
Where l the lower limit of the median class; f the frequency of the median class; h the width of the
n
median class; C the c.f. of the class preceding to the median class and N fi
i 1
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
2 f1 f 2 f 0
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

about a central value. Different measures of dispersion are
1. Range

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}

conditional probability of occurrence of event A when B has been already occured.
e.g. A coin is lossed thrice. If E be the event of showing atleast two heads and F the event of showing head

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 :
Whether f : A B is a function or not, test the following :
(i) existence of f-image of every element of A in the set B.
(ii) uniquenees of f-image of every element of the set A.

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.

(ii) Identity function f(x) = x; conjugate function g ( z) z , Reciprocal function h(x) = 1/x.
(iii) Exponential functions ex, ax, 2x and logarithmic functions loga x, loge x.
(iv) Hyperbolic functions sinh x, tanh x, cosech x, coth x.
(v) x | x |.
2. Some functions are usually many-one functions. Examples are as follows :
(i) axn + b, where n is even and domain contains both positive and negative elements
For ex. x2, x4 – 1 etc.
(ii) Constant function f(x) = c
x|x|
(iii) Modulus function f(x) = | x |, g(x) = x + | x |, h(x) = x – | x |, ( x ) etc.

(iv) Greatest integer function [x].
(v) Trigonometric functions sin x, cos x, tan x, sec x, cosec x. Hyperbolic functions sech x, cosh x.
(vi) Even function x2, cos x etc.
3. If the graph of the given function can be easily constructed, then draw its graph. When a line parallel to x-
axis meet it in two or more than two points, then the function is many-one otherwise it is one-one. Obviously

19.3 Onto or Surjective Function : A function f : X Y is said to be onto or surjective if every element of Y
is the image of some element of X under the map f.
In other words. Range of f = Co-domain of f.

of any element in X. Therefore, at least one element of Y such that f –1 (y) = then function is into. In other

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)}.
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.

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.
x2
22 4 0
as f (2) = (known as an indeterminate form)
22 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 x2 x2 x2

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
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 a0 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 xa- 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.

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.
[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.
( 2m) !
2 ! (m ! ) 2
when order of groups is not considered.
The number of ways in which (m + n + p) different things can be divided into three groups which
contain m, n and p things respectively is
mnp np (m n p)!
Cm . Cn . p Cp , mnp
m! n ! p !
Suppose mn distinct objects are to be divided into m groups, each containing n objects and the order of
mn !
groups is not important, then the number of ways of doing this is given by m! n! m
mn !
If, lower, the order of groups is important then the number of ways is given by m
n!
Particular cases :
When m = n = p, then total number of combination is
(3m) !
(m !)3
when order of groups is considered.
(3m) !
3 ! (m !)3
when order of groups is not considered.
Total number of ways to divide n identical things among r persons when there is no restriction is
n + r–1
Cr–1
Total number of ways to divide n identical things among r persons so that each gets atleast one is
n–1
Cr–1

8. DEARRANGEMENT THEOREM
Any change in the given order of the thing is called a Dearrangement.
(i) If n items are arranged in a row, then the number of ways in which they can be rearranged so that no one of
them occupies the place assigned to it is
1 1 1 1 1

9. SUM OF NUMBERS
(i) For given n different digits a1, a2, a3 ......., an the sum of the digits in the unit place of all numbers fromed (if
numbers are not repeated) is
(a1 + a2 + a3 + ...... + an) (n – 1)!
i.e. (sum of the digits) (n – 1) !
(ii) Sum of the total numbers which can be formed with given n different digits a1, a2, a3 ....... an is

STRAIGHT LINES
1. EQUATION OF STRAIGHT LINE
Every linear equation in two variable x and y always represents a straight line eg. 3x + 4y = 5
General form of straight line is given by ax + by + c = 0
(1) Equation of x-axis : y = 0
(2) Equation a line parallel to x axis at a distance ‘a’ from it is y = a
(3) Equation of y-axis : x = 0
(4) Equation of a line parallel to y axis at a distance ‘a’ from it is x = a
2. SLOPE
The slope of a line is equal to the tangent of the angle which it makes with the positive side of x-axis and it is
generally denoted by m.
Thus if a line makes an angle with x-axis then its slope = m = tanθ

First write the equation of the lines so that the constant terms are positive. Then
(a) If a1a2 + b1b2 > 0 then on taking positive sign in the above bisectors equation we shall get the obtuse angle
bisector and on taking negative sign we shall get the acute angle bisector.
(b) If a1a2 + b1b2 < 0 then positive sign give the acute angle bisector and negative sign gives the obtuse angle
bisector.
(c) On taking positive sign we shall get equation of the bisector of the angle which contains the origin and
negative sign gives the equation of the bisector which does not contain origin.
Note : This is also the bisector of the angle in which origin lies ( since c1 , c2 are positive and it has been obtained
by taking positive sign)

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,
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.e. Integral of the product of two functions = first function x integral of second function – [derivative of

(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
x
(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
integral by parts and keep other integral as it is, by doing so, we get [x f ' (x) f ( x)] dx x f (x) c
