LINEAR INEQUATIONS
8. Represent natural numbers, whole numbers, & integers by an empty or a shaded circle with or
without a vertical line, on the number line on each of the numbers of the solution set.
9. Represent real numbers, rational numbers, irrational numbers, with a line joining the 2 circles
(empty or shaded) with or without the vertical lines marked as limits on the number line. Shade
the area enclosed between the number line and the line joining the set boundaries.
10. Types of Linear inequations:
a. P – Q = Elements of P which are not in Q.
b. P ∩ Q = Elements that are present in P & Q.
c. P ∪ Q = Elements of both P & Q.
d. Q – P = Elements of Q which are not in P.
e. Q’ = All other elements but not Q.

13. If a, b, and c are real no and a ≠ 0; Its discriminant (D) will be used to identify the nature of the
roots as follows:
a. If b2 – 4ac = 0; roots are real and equal.
b. If b2 – 4ac > 0; roots are real and unequal.
c. If b2 – 4ac < 0; roots are imaginary.
Note:
a. 2 significant figures mean 2 digits only – 0.23, 1.3, 0.012, etc.
b. 2 decimal figures mean – 0.23, 1.22, 0.66, etc.
c. For quadratic equations always solve for 3 decimal places and then round it off to 2
decimal places; if nothing is specified in the question.
d. Use one variable only.
e. You can use 2 variables x, y only if the question is based on digits or fractions but solve
the 2 equations by substitution method only.
RATIO

14. If a quantity increases or decreases in the ratio a : b, the new quantity = 𝑎 times of the original quantity.
15. For any two more equal ratios, each ratio is equal to the ratio between sum of their

antecedents and sum of their consequent. = = → = = =
𝑏 𝑑 𝑓 𝑏 𝑑 𝑓 𝑏 + 𝑑 +𝑓

PROPORTION
22. Third proportion of a & b is a : b :: b : c, or If a, b & c are in continued proportion, then
𝑎 𝑏

23. Fourth proportion of a, b, and c is a : b :: c : d, or If a, b, c & d are in continued proportion, then
𝑎 𝑏 𝑐

24. Invertendo: a : b = c : d, then b : a = d : c
25. Alternendo: a : b = c : d, then a : c = b : d
26. Componendo: a : b = c : d, then a + b : b = c + d : d
27. Dividendo: a : b = c : d, then a – b : b = c – d : d
28. Componendo and Dividendo: a : b = c : d, then a + b : a – b = c + d : c – d

FACTOR THEOREM
32. If (x – a) is a factor of polynomial f (x), then f (a) = 0.
33. Remainder Theorem: If f (x), a polynomial in x, is divided by (x – a); the remainder = f (x)
eg. If f (x) is divided by (x – 3), the remainder is f (3).
Here, f (x) = x2 – 8x + 4; (i) By Remainder Theorem, if f (x) is divided by (x – 1), the remainder is
f (1): ∴ f (x) = x2 – 8x + 4; f (1) = 12 – 8 × 1 + 4. (Replacing x by 1); Remainder = – 3.
34. When a polynomial f (x) is divide by x – a, the remainder = f (a). and, if remainder f (a) = 0; x – a
is a factor of the polynomial f (x).
