Relation
If A and B are two non-empty sets, then a relation R from A to B is a
subset of A × B.
If R ⊆ A × B and ( a , b) ∈ R , then we say that a is related to b by the
relation R, written as aRb.
If R ⊆ A × A, then we simply say R is a relation on A.

Representation of a Relation
(i) Roster form In this form, we represent the relation by the set
of all ordered pairs belongs to R.
e.g. Let R is a relation from set A = { −3, − 2, − 1, 1, 2, 3} to set
B = { 1, 4, 9, 10}, defined by aRb ⇔ a 2 = b,
Then, ( −3)2 = 9,( −2)2 = 4,( −1)2 = 1, ( 2)2 = 4,( 3)2 = 9.
Then, in roster form, R can be written as
R = {( −1, 1), ( − 2, 4), (1, 1),( 2, 4),( − 3, 9),( 3, 9)}
(ii) Set-builder form In this form, we represent the relation R
from set A to set B as
R = {( a , b) : a ∈ A, b ∈ B and the rule which relate the elements
of A and B}
e.g. Let R is a relation from set A = { 1, 2, 4, 5} to set

Types of Relations
(i) Empty or Void Relation As φ ⊂ A × A, for any set A, so φ is a
relation on A, called the empty or void relation.
(ii) Universal Relation Since, A × A ⊆ A × A , so A × A is a
relation on A, called the universal relation.
(iii) Identity Relation The relation I A = {( a , a ) : a ∈ A} is called
the identity relation on A.
(iv) Reflexive Relation A relation R on a set A is said to be
reflexive relation, if every element of A is related to itself.
Thus, ( a , a ) ∈ R , ∀ a ∈ A ⇒ R is reflexive.
Sets and Relations 9
(v) Symmetric Relation A relation R on a set A is said to be
symmetric relation iff ( a , b) ∈ R ⇒ ( b, a ) ∈ R , ∀ a , b ∈ A
i.e. a R b ⇒ bRa , ∀ a , b ∈ A
(vi) Transitive Relation A relation R on a set A is said to be
transitive relation, iff ( a , b) ∈ R and ( b, c) ∈ R
⇒ ( a , c) ∈ R , ∀ a , b, c ∈ A
Equivalence Relation
A relation R on a set A is said to be an equivalence relation, if it is
simultaneously reflexive, symmetric and transitive on A.
Equivalence Classes
Let R be an equivalence relation on A (≠ φ). Let a ∈ A .
Then, the equivalence class of a denoted by [a ] or ( a ) is defined as the
set of all those points of A which are related to a under the relation R.

Characteristics of a Function f : A → B
(i) For each element x ∈ A, there is unique element y ∈ B.
(ii) The element y ∈ B is called the image of x under the function f.
Also, y is called the value of function f at x i.e. f ( x ) = y.
(iii) f : A → B is not a function, if there is an element in A which has
more than one image in B. But more than one element of A may
be associated to the same element of B.
(iv) f : A → B is not a function, if an element in A does not have an
image in B.

Working Rule for Finding Range of Real Functions
Let y = f ( x ) be a real function, then for finding the range we may use
the following steps
Step I Find the domain of the function y = f ( x ).
Step I Transform the equation y = f ( x ) as x = g ( y ).
i.e. convert x in terms of y.
Step III Find the values of y from x = g( y ) such that the values of x
are real and lying in the domain of f.
Step IV The set of values of y obtained in step III be the range of
function f.

Binary Operations
Let S be a non-empty set. A function * from S × S to S is called a binary
operation on S i.e. * : S × S → S is a binary operation on set S.
Note Generally binary operations are represented by the symbols *, ⊕, ... etc.,
instead of letters figure etc.
Closure Property
An operation * on a non-empty set S is said to satisfy the closure
property, if
a ∈S , b ∈S ⇒ a * b ∈S , ∀ a, b ∈S
er

Identity Element
Let * be a binary operation on a non-empty set S. An element e ∈ S, if it
exist, such that a * e = e * a = a, ∀ a ∈ S, is called an identity elements
of S, with respect to *.
For addition on R, zero is the identity element in R.
Since, a + 0 = 0 + a = a, ∀ a ∈ R
Functions and Binary Operations 27
For multiplication on R, 1 is the identity element in R.
Since, a × 1 = 1 × a = a , ∀ a ∈ R
Let P (S) be the power set of a non-empty set S. Then, φ is the identity
element for union on P (S), as A ∪ φ = φ ∪ A = A , ∀ A ∈ P (S )
Also, S is the identity element for intersection on P (S ).
Since, A ∩ S = A ∩ S = A, ∀ A ∈ P (S ).
For addition on N the identity element does not exist. But for
multiplication on N the identity element is 1.
Inverse of an Element
Let * be a binary operation on a non-empty set S and let e be the
identity element.
Suppose a ∈S , we say that a is invertible, if there exists an element
b ∈ S such that a * b = b * a = e
Also, in this case, b is called the inverse of a and we write, a −1 = b

Iota
Mathematician Euler, introduced the symbol i (read as iota) for − 1
with property i 2 + 1 = 0. i.e. i 2 = − 1. He also called this symbol as the
imaginary unit. Integral power of iota (i) are given below.
i = −1 , i 2 = − 1, i3 = − i , i 4 = 1
So, i 4n + 1 = i , i 4n + 2 = − 1, i 4n +3 = − i , i 4n + 4 = 1
( −1)n / 2 , if n is an even integer
In other words, i n = n −1
z1 − z 2 = ( x1 + iy1 ) − ( x2 + iy2 )
= ( x1 − x2 ) + i( y1 − y2 )
Note The difference of two complex numbers z1 − z2 , follows the closure
property, but this operation is neither commutative nor associative, like in real
numbers. Also, there does not exist any identity element for this operation and
so inverse element also does not exists.

De-Moivre’s Theorem
A simplest formula for calculating powers of complex numbers in the
standard polar form is known as De-Moivre’s theorem.
If n ∈ I (set of integers), then (cos θ + i sin θ )n = cos nθ + i sin nθ and if
n ∈ Q (set of rational numbers), then cos nθ + i sin nθ is one of the
values of (cos θ + i sin θ )n .

Degree of a Polynomial
A polynomial f ( x ) = a0 + a1x + a2x 2 + a3 x3 + K + an x n , real or complex
is a polynomial of degree n, if an ≠ 0.
Polynomial Equation
If f ( x ) is a polynomial, real or complex, then f ( x ) = 0 is called a
polynomial equation.
Quadratic Equation
A quadratic polynomial f ( x ) when equated to zero is called quadratic
equation.
i.e. ax 2 + bx + c = 0, where a , b, c ∈ R and a ≠ 0.

where, D = ∆ = b2 − 4ac is called discriminant of the equation.
Above formulas also known as Sridharacharya formula.
Nature of Roots
(i) Let quadratic equation be ax 2 + bx + c = 0, whose discriminant
is D.
Also, let a , b , c ∈ R and a ≠ 0. Then,
(a) D < 0 ⇒ Complex roots
(b) D > 0 ⇒ Real and distinct roots
b
(c) D = 0 ⇒ Real and equal roots as α = β = −
2a
48 Handbook of Mathematics
Note If a, b, c ∈ Q, a ≠ 0, then
(a) D > 0 and D is a perfect square.
⇒ Roots are unequal and rational.
(b) D > 0, a = 1; b, c ∈ I and D is a perfect square.
⇒ Roots are integral.
(c) D > 0 and D is not a perfect square.
⇒ Roots are irrational and unequal.
(ii) Conjugate Roots The irrational (complex) roots of a quadratic
equation, whose coefficients are rational (real) always occur in
conjugate pairs. Thus,
(a) if one root be α + iβ, then other root will be α − iβ.
(b) if one root be α + β , then other root will be α − β .
(iii) Let D1 and D2 are the discriminants of two quadratic equations.
(a) If D1 + D2 ≥ 0, then atleast one of D1 and D2 ≥ 0
Thus, if D1 < 0, then D2 > 0, if D2 < 0, then D1 > 0 or D1 and

Method of Difference
Let a1 + a2 + a3 + ... be a given series.
Case I If a2 − a1 , a3 − a2 ,K are in AP or GP, then an and S n can be
found by the method of difference.
Clearly, S n = a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 + K + an
or Sn = a1 + a2 + a3 + K + an −1 + an
Sequences and Series 71
So, S n − S n = a1 + ( a2 − a1 ) + ( a3 − a2 ) + ( a4 − a3 ) + ( an − an − 1 ) − an
⇒ an = a1 + ( a2 − a1 ) + ( a3 − a2 ) + K + ( an − an − 1 )
∴ an = a1 + T1 + T2 + T3 + K + Tn − 1
where, T1 , T2 , T3 ,K are terms of new series and S n = Σan
Case II It is not always necessary that the sequence of first order of
differences i.e. a2 − a1 , a3 − a2 , ... , an − an −1,... is always in AP or in
GP. In such cases, we proceed as follows.
Let a1 = T1 , a2 − a1 = T2 , a3 − a2 = T3 ,... , an − an −1 = Tn
So, an = T1 + T2 + ... + Tn ...(i)
an = T1 + T2 + ... + Tn −1 + Tn ...(ii)
On subtracting Eq. (i) from Eq. (ii), we get
Tn = T1 + (T2 − T1 ) + (T3 − T2 ) + ... + (Tn − Tn −1 )
Now, the series (T2 − T1 ) + (T3 − T2 ) + ... + (Tn − Tn −1 ) is series of second
order of differences and if it is either in AP or in GP, then an = ΣTr .

Order of a Matrix
In above matrix has m rows and n columns, then A is of order m × n.
Types of Matrices
(i) Row Matrix A matrix having only one row and any number of
columns is called a row matrix.
(ii) Column Matrix A matrix having only one column and any
number of rows is called column matrix.
(iii) Null/Zero Matrix A matrix of any order, having all its elements
are zero, is called a null/zero matrix, i.e. aij = 0, ∀ i , j.
(iv) Square Matrix A matrix of order m × n, such that m = n, is
called square matrix.
(v) Diagonal Matrix A square matrix A = [aij ]m × n is called a
diagonal matrix, if all the elements except those in the leading
diagonals are zero, i.e. aij = 0 for i ≠ j. It can be represented as
A = diag [a11 a22K ann ].

1. Addition of Matrices
Let A and B be two matrices each of order m × n. Then, the sum of
matrices A + B is defined only if matrices A and B are of same order.
If A = [aij ]m × n and B = [bij ]m × n . Then, A + B = [aij + bij ]m × n .

The cards in each suit are ace, king, queen, jack, 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2.
King, queen and jack are called face cards, so there are in all 12 face cards. Also,
there are 16 honour cards, 4 of each suit namely ace, king, queen and jack.
The suits, clubs and spades are of black colour while the suits hearts and
diamonds are of red colour. So, there are 26 red cards and 26 black cards.

Random Variable
Let S be a sample space associated with a given random experiment. A
real valued function X defined on S , i.e.
X : S → R, is called a random variable.
There are two types of random variable
(i) Discrete Random Variable If the range of the function
X : S → R is a finite set or countably infinite set of real numbers,
then it is called a discrete random variable.
e.g. In tossing of two coins S = {HH , HT , TH , TT }, let X denotes
number of heads in tossing of two coins, then
X ( HH ) = 2, X (TH ) = 1, X ( HT ) = 1, X (TT ) = 0
(ii) Continuous Random Variable If the range of X is an
interval (a, b) of R, then X is called a continuous random variable.

Binomial Distribution
The probability of r successes in n-Bernaulli trials is denoted by
P ( X = r ) and is given by
P ( X = r ) = n Cr pr q n − r , r = 0, 1, 2, ... n.
where, p = probability of success
q = probability of failure and p + q = 1

(ii) Mean = E( X ) = µ = np
(iii) Variance = σ 2x = npq
(iv) Standard deviation = σ x = npq
(v) Mean is always greater than variance.

Solutions of a Triangle
Elements of a Triangle
There are six elements of a triangle, in which three are its sides and
other three are its angle. If three elements of a triangle are given,
atleast one of which is its side, then other elements can be uniquely
calculated. This is called solving the triangle.

Inverse Function
If y = f ( x ) and x = g ( y ) are two functions such that f ( g ( y )) = y and
g ( f ( y )) = x, then f and y are said to be inverse of each other,
i.e. g = f −1. If y = f ( x ), then x = f −1( y ).

Parabola
A parabola is the locus of a point which moves in a plane such that its
distance from a fixed point in the plane is always equal to its distance
from a fixed straight line in the same plane.

If the graph of a function has no break or gap, then it is continuous. A
function which is not continuous is called a discontinuous function.

Discontinuity of a Function
A function f ( x ) can be discontinuous at a point x = a in any one of the
following ways.
(i) f ( a ) is not defined.
(ii) LHL and RHL both exist but unequal i.e.
lim f ( x ) ≠ lim f ( x )
x → a− x → a+
Note In this case, we also say that f ( x ) has jump discontinuity at x = a and

exist m and M such that
m ≤ f ( x ) ≤ M , ∀ x ∈ [a , b],
where m and M are called minimum and maximum values of
f ( x ) respectively in the interval [a , b].
(iv) If f is continuous in its domain, then| f| is also continuous in its
domain.
(v) If f is continuous at a and f ( a ) ≠ 0, then there exists an open
interval ( a − δ , a + δ ) such that for all x ∈( a − δ , a + δ ), f ( x ) has the

Global Maximum/Minimum in [ a, b]
In order to find the global maximum and minimum of f ( x ) in [a , b], find
out all critical points c1 , c2 ,... , cn of f ( x ) in [a , b] (i.e., all points at which
f ′ ( x ) = 0) or f ′ ( x ) not exists and let f ( c1 ), f ( c2 ) ,... , f ( cn ) be the values of
the function at these points.
Then, M1 → Global maxima or greatest value.
and M 2 → Global minima or least value.
where M1 = max { f ( a ), f ( c1 ), f ( c2 ) ,... , f ( cn ), f ( b)}
and M 2 = min { f ( a ), f ( c1 ), f ( c2 ) ,... , f ( cn ), f ( b)}

Then, M1 is the greatest value or global maxima in [a , b] and M 2 is
the least value or global minima in [a , b].

(i) We use the following preferential order for taking the first
function.
Inverse → Logarithm → Algebraic → Trigonometric →
Exponential. In short, we write it ILATE.
(ii) If one of the function is not directly integrable, then we take it as
the first function.

Curve Sketching
1. Symmetry
(i) If powers of y in an equation of curve are all even, then curve
is symmetrical about X-axis.
(ii) If powers of x in an equation of curve are all even, then curve
is symmetrical about Y -axis.
(iii) When x is replaced by –x and y is replaced by –y, then curve is
symmetrical in opposite quadrant.
(iv) If x and y are interchanged and equation of curve remains
unchanged, then curve is symmetrical about line y = x.
2. Nature of Origin
(i) If point (0, 0) satisfies the equation, then curve passes
through origin.
(ii) If curve passes through origin, then equate lowest degree
er
ap
(i) Put y = 0 and get intersection with X-axis, put x = 0 and get
@
am
(ii) Now, find equation of tangent at this point i.e. shift origin to
the point of intersection and equate the lowest degree term to
zero.
(iii) Find regions where curve does not exists i.e. curve will not
exit for those values of variable when makes the other
imaginary or not defined.
4. Asymptotes
(i) Equate coefficient of highest power of x to get asymptote
parallel to X-axis.
(ii) Similarly equate coefficient of highest power of y to get
asymptote parallel to Y -axis.

1. General Solution
If the solution of the differential equation contains as many
independent arbitrary constants as the order of the differential
equation, then it is called the general solution or the complete integral
of the differential equation.

of the equation.

The arithmetic mean (or simple mean) of a set of observations is
obtained by dividing the sum of the values of observations by the
number of observations.

4. Median
The median of a distribution is the value of the middle observation,
when the observations are arranged in ascending or descending order.
Quartiles
The median divides the distribution in two equal parts. Similarly, quartiles
divide the distribution in four equal parts.
Q1 Q2 = M d Q3
5. Mode
The mode ( M O ) of a distribution is the value at the point about which
the observations tend to be most heavily concentrated. It is generally
the value of the variable which appears to occur most frequently in the
distribution.
Measure of Dispersion
The degree to which numerical data tend to spread about an average
value is called the dispersion of the data. The four measure of
dispersion are
1. Range 2. Mean deviation
3. Standard deviation 4. Root mean square deviation
330 Handbook of Mathematics
1. Range
The difference between the highest and the lowest observation of a
data is called its range.
i.e. Range = X max − X min
X max − X min
∴ The coefficient of range =
X max + X min
It is widely used in statistical series relating to quality control in
production.
(i) Inter quartile range = Q3 − Q1

Correlation
The tendency of simultaneous variation between two variables is called
correlation (or covariation). It denotes the degree of inter-dependence
between variables.
Types of Correlation
1. Perfect Correlation
If the two variables vary in such a manner that their ratio is always
constant, then the correlation is said to be perfect.
2. Positive or Direct Correlation
If an increase or decrease in one variable corresponds to an increase or
decrease in the other, then the correlation is said to be positive.
3. Negative or Indirect Correlation
If an increase or decrease in one variable corresponds to a decrease or
increase in the other, then correlation is said to be negative.

Properties of Correlation
(i) − 1 ≤ r ≤ 1
(ii) If r = 1, then coefficient of correlation is perfectly positive.
(iii) If r = − 1, then correlation is perfectly negative.
(iv) The coefficient of correlation is independent of the change of
origin and scale.
(v) Correlation coefficient has no unit and it is a pure number.
(vi) If − 1 < r < 1, it indicates the degree of linear relationship
between x and y, whereas its sign tells about the direction of
relationship.
(vii) If x and y are two independent variables, then r = 0
(viii) If r = 0, x and y are said to be uncorrelated. It does not imply
that the two variates are independent.

1. Simple Statement
A statement which cannot be broken into two or more statements is
called a simple statement.
e.g. p : 2 is a real number.
2. Open Statement
A sentence which contains one or more variable such that when certain
values are given to the variable it becomes a statement, is called an
open statement.
e.g. p : ‘He is a great man’ is an open statement because in this
statement, he can be replaced by any person.
Mathematical Reasoning 339
3. Compound Statement
If two or more simple statements are combined by the use of words
such as ‘and’, ‘or’, ‘if... then, ‘if and only if ’, then the resulting
statement is called a compound statement.
e.g. Roses are red and sky is blue.

Surds
Irrational root of a rational number is called a surd.
If n is a positive integer and a is a positive rational number, which
cannot be expressed as the nth power of some rational number, then
the irrational number, n a or a1/ n that is the positive nth root of a, is
called surd or a radical. The symbol n is called the radical sign, n
is called the order of the surd (or radical) and a is called the
3
radicand. Hence, 2 is not a surd as 2 is not a rational number.
However, 7 is a surd as 7 is a rational number and square root of 7 is
not a rational number.
64 is not a surd as though 64 is a rational number but 64 = 8, which
is not an irrational number.

14. If two surds are not of same order, then to compare them they
must first be reduced to same order.

23. A surd containing only two distinct terms is called a binomial
surd. Hence, 2 + 3 , 2 3 + 3 2 , 7 + 3 are binomial surds.
24. Two binomial surds are said to be conjugates of each other, if
they differ only in sign (+ or –) connecting them.
Thus, 2 2 + 3 3 and 2 2 − 3 3 are conjugates of each other.
25. Rationalising factor of a binomial surd is its conjugate.
e.g. Rationalising factor of a b + c d is a b − c d .
26. Surds containing three distinct terms is called a trinomial
surd. Hence, 7 + 2 + 3 3 , 7 − 2 + 3 are trinomial surds.

called extremes and b and c are called means. And a : b = c : d is
denoted by a : b :: c : d or ad = bc ⇒ Product of means = Product of

Important Points about Centres of Triangles
(i) In a right angled triangle, the vertex where the right angle is

orthocentre.
(ii) In an obtuse angled triangle, the orthocentre lies outside the
triangle.
(iii) Centroid divides each of the medians in the ratio 2 : 1, the part of
the median towards the vertex being twice in length to the part
towards the side.
(iv) In a right angled triangle, the length of the median drawn to the
hypotenuse is equal to half the hypotenuse. This median is also
the circumradius and the mid-point of the hypotenuse is the
circumcentre. In an obtuse angled triangle, the circumcentre
lies outside the triangle.

has given the world innumerable theorems and research subjects. His
two other major contributions are the introduction of zero to the world
and calculating the approximate value of pie. His works are also
spread in fields like include algebra, arithmetic, trigonometry,
quadratic equations and the sine table.
Ramanujan
Srinivasa Ramanujan Iyengar, the greatest Indian mathematician of
20 th century, contributed immensely in fields like number theory,
mathematical analysis, string theory and crystallography.
His genius has been admired by some greatest contemporary
mathematicians of his time. He is hailed to be one of the most famous
mathematicians in the field of number theory. Although he lived for a
short span of 32 yr, he compiled nearly 3900 phenomenal results that
leave even the best mathematical brains of today in sheer awe and
wonder!
Some Great Mathematicians 441
Brahmagupta
He gave four methods of multiplication. He gave the following formula,
used in GP series a + ar + ar 2 + ar3 + . . . + ar n −1 = ( ar n −1 ) ÷ (r ). He gave
the following formulae : Area of a cyclic quadrilateral with side
a , b, c and d is ( s − a )( s − b)( s − c)( s − d ), where 2 s = a + b + c + d.
Rene Descartes
The French philosopher and mathematician, Rene Descartes was
famous for his method of expressing geometric shapes in the form of
algebraic equation. It was because of Rene Descartes that we got
introduced to the beautiful branch of coordinate geometry. The
Cartesian coordinates, in fact, refer to his name. Besides this Rene
made valuable contributions in the field of optics and energy
conservation.

Benjamin Banneker
A child prodigy, a watch designer and a mathematician, Bannerker
discovered many puzzles in fields of trigonometry. He was a genius in
logarithms and used them extensively in trigonometry. He is still
regarded as the most popular black mathematician.
John Von Neumann
The Hungarian-American mathematician, physicist, John made
valuable contribution in several fields like set theory, functional
analysis, quantum mechanics, ergodic theory, continuous geometry
and statistics.
His operator theory in mechanics is still regarded as one of his most
pioneering works. He was also a key figure in the development of game
theory.
Some Great Mathematicians 443
Joseph Fourier
The Fourier’s law and Fourier transform are named after him. He is
also accredited with the discovery of the green house effect. He is
popular for discovering Fourier series and its uses in determining the
application of real life examples in heat transfer and vibrations.
Sophie Germain
Especially known for her work on ‘Fermat’s Last Theorem’, Sophie was
one of the initiators of the elasticity theory and also contributed to
number theory and philosophy. She was regarded as ‘the
revolutionary mathematician’ of her times.
Amalie Emmy Noether
She gave path breaking theorems in algebra field. The most popular,
“Noether’s Theorem” connects symmetry and conservation laws in
Physics. She also made valuable contributions to the theories of
algebraic invariants and number fields.

If smaller numbers follow larger numbers, then the numbers are
added, but if a smaller number comes before a larger number it is
subtracted, so CM is 900 and MC is 1100.
