Mathematics - An Introduction
இயல் எண்கள்:

• 1ஐத் ததொடக்க எண்ணொகக் தகொண்ட எண்ணிலடங்கொத எண்களுக்கு இயல் எண்கள் என்று தெயர் .

• N = {1,2,3,4,5... }

Natural Numbers :

• Natural numbers contain the set of positive integers from 1 to infinity.

• N = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, ….}

முழு எண்கள்:

• 0வுடன் இயல் எண்களைச் சேர்க்கக்கிளடப்ெது முழு எண்கைொகும் .

• W = {0,1,2,3,4,5... }

Whole Numbers:

• Whole numbers are also known as natural numbers with zero.

• W = {0,1,2,3,4,5, ……….}

முழுக்கள்:

• முழு எண்கள் மற்றும் குளை எண்கள் சேர்ந்த ததொகுப்பு முழுக்கள் என அளைக்கப்ெடும் .

• முழுக்கள் என்ெது Z என்ை எழுத்தொல் குைிக்கப்ெடும் .

• Z = {.... -2, -1, 0, 1, 2... } என்ெது முழுக்கைின் கணமொகும்

Integers:

• Integers are defined as the set of all whole numbers with a negative set of natural numbers. The integer set is represented
by the symbol “Z”. The set of integers is defined as
• Z = { -2, -1, 0, 1, 2 }

V = VINCULUM V = VINCULUM

B = Bracket ( ) B = அடைப்புக்குறி ( )

O = Of O = அடுக்குகள்

D = Division ÷ or / D = வகுத்தல் ÷ அல்லது/

M = Multiplication × M = பெருக்கல் ×

A = Addition + A = கூட்ைல் +

1. Solve 2 of 3 × (5 + 2)

Solution:

=2 of 3 × (5 + 2)
= 2 of 3 × 7
=6×7
= 42

2. Solve : 50 - [20 + (30 - (20 - 5) }]

Solution:

= 50 - [20 + (30 - 15}]

= 50 - [20 + 15]
= 50 - 35
= 15

3. Solve : 52 - 4 of (17 - 12) + 4 × 7

Solution:

=52 - 4 of (17 - 12) + 4 × 7

= 52 - 4 of 5 + 4 × 7
= 52 - 4 × 5 + 4 × 7
= 52 - 20 + 4 × 7
= 52 - 20 + 28
= 32 + 28
= 60

4. Solve : 25 - 48 ÷ 6 + 12 × 2

Solution:

25 - 48 ÷ 6 + 12 × 2
= 25 - 8 + 12 × 2
= 25 - 8 + 24
= 17 + 24
= 41

5. What is the value of 24 ÷ { 8 - (3 × 2) }

Solution :

= 24 ÷ { 8 - 6 }
= 24 ÷ 2
= 12

Study Explanations

1. Solution
Multiply 5 times each term inside the parentheses.
5(7y+2) = 5.7y +5.2
= 35 y +10

2. Solution
Multiply each term within the parentheses by 3.
(3x-4y+1) 3 = 3x.3-4y.3+1.3
= 9x-12y+3

3. Solution
Identify the like terms and combine them.
3a + 2b-4a+9b=3a-49 + 25 + 9b
=-la +11b
= -a +11b

4. Solution
(a + b) 2 = 𝑎 2 + 𝑏 2 + 2𝑎𝑏
(a - b) 2 = 𝑎 2 − 𝑏 2 − 2𝑎𝑏
(a + b) 2 - (a + b) 2 =4ab

5. Solution
(a + b) 2 = 𝑎 2 + 𝑏 2 + 2𝑎𝑏
(a - b) 2 = 𝑎 2 − 𝑏 2 − 2𝑎𝑏
(a + b) 2 = (a + b) 2 = 2(𝑎 2 + 𝑏 2 )
