1.1 ELEMENTARY ALGEBRA
1.1.1 Degree or index of a polynomial
The highest power appearing in polynomial is called its degree. For example, ƒ(x) = x 3 + 8x + 3 is a polynomial
of degree 3.
1.1.2 Quadratic Equations
Equations of second degree are called quadratic equations. The general form of a quadratic equation is
ax2 + bx + c = 0, where a ¹ 0.
Roots of quadratic equation
The solutions to a quadratic equation are called its roots. Roots are those values of a variable such as x for which
the given quadratic equation reduces to zero.
As a rule, a quadratic equation always has two roots, which may or may not be equal.
The roots of a quadratic equation are generally represented by a and b. Let ax2 + bx + c = 0 be a quadratic
equation.

- b + b 2 - 4ac - b - b 2 - 4ac
1. Its roots are a = , b=
2a 2a

- b ± b 2 - 4ac
Hence, its solution is given by x =
2a
-b
2. Sum of its roots is given by a + b =
a
c
3. Product of its roots is given by ab = .

b2 - 4ac
4. Difference of its root is given by a - b =

Examples
Examples 1: Find roots of equation 2x2 – x – 3 = 0.
Solution : Compare this equation with standard quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0,
we have a=2, b=–1, c=–3.

1.2 BINOMIAL EXPRESSION


An algebraic expression containing two terms is called a binomial expression.

For example (a+b), (a+b)3, (2x––3y)–1, ç x + ÷ etc. are binomial expressions.

1.3 LOGARITHM
A logarithm is the “power” to which a number must be raised in order to “get” some other number. The two
most common logarithms are base 10 logarithms (the base unit is the number being “raised to a power”) and
natural logarithms.
Base Ten Logarithms
We saw above that base ten logarithms are expressions in which the number being raised to a power is ten. The
base ten log of 1000 is three :
log 1000 = 3
103 = 1000
So far, we’ve worked with expressions that have whole numbers as solutions. Here’s one that does not. What is
the log of 4 ?
log 4 = x
log 4 » 0.602
because
100.602 » 4
Natural Logarithms
Logarithms with a base ‘e’ are called natural logarithms. What is ‘e’ ?
‘e’ is a very special number approximately equal to 2.718. ‘e’ is a little bit like pi in that it is the result of an
equation and it’s a big long number that never ends. For those of you who have had calculus, you might
remember that ex is special because its derivate is itself.
Common formulae

m
• log mn = log m+log n • log =logm-log n • log mn = n log m • loge m = 2.303 log10m
n
log c b 1
• log a b = log a • log an b = log a b
c n

POINTS TO REMEMBER

l Logarithms to the base 10 are known as common logarithms.

node05\B0AI-B0\CBSE\TIM Modules\9th\Physics\01-Basic Maths in Phyiscs And Vector\01 Theory.p65


l If no base is given, the base is always taken as 10. i.e. log 5 = log 10 5; log 8 = log10 8; log a = log10 a and so on.
l Remember :

log a m
¹ log a m - log a n
log a n

Examples
Examples 2: If log 2 = 0.3010 and log 3 = 0.4771, find the value of log 24 .

Solution : log 24 = log(24)1 / 2 = log (23 ´ 3)

1.4 MEASUREMENT OF ANGLE & RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN DEGREES &
RADIAN
In navigation and astronomy, angles are measured in degrees, but in calculus it is best to use units called radians
because of they simplify later calculations.
Let ACB be a central angle in circle of radius r, as in the figure B
Then the angle ACB or q is defined in radius as -
q A
r
Arc length AB C
q= Þq=
Radius r
If r = 1 then q = AB
1.4.1 System of Measurement of an Angle
Sexagesimal system
In this system, angle is measured in degrees.
In this system , 1 right angle = 90°, 1° = 60' (arc minutes), 1' = 60'' (arc seconds)
Circular system

1.6 CALCULUS
Calculus is the study of how things change. In this we study the relationship between continuously varying
functions.
Quantity : Anything that can be measured is called a quantity.
Constants and Variables : A quantity whose value remains constant throughout the mathematical operation
is called a constant, e.g., integers, fractions, p, e etc. On the other hand, a quantity which can have any
numberical value within certain specific limits is called a variable. A variable is usually representesd by u, v, w,
x, y, z etc.
Dependent and independent variables : A variable which can have any arbitary value within specific limits
is called an independent variable whereas a variable whose value depends upon the numerical values assigned
to the independent variable is defined as a dependent variable.
Function
Function is a rule of relationship between two variable in which one is assumed to be a dependent variable and
the other independent variable
Example : The interest paid on a cash investment depends on the length of time the investment is held. Here
time is the independent and interest is the dependent variable.
In each of the above examples, value of one variable quantity (dependent variable), which we might call y,
depends on the value of another variable quantity (independent variable), which we might call x. Since the value
of y is completely determined by value of x, we say that y is a function of x and are represent in mathematically
as y = f(x). Here f represents the fuction, x the independent variable, and y the dependent variable.
All possible values of independent variable (x) are called domain of function. All possible value of dependent
variable (y) are called range of function.
Think of a function f as a kind of machine that produces an output value f(x) in its range whenever we feed it an
input value x from its domain (fig.)
x f(x) node05\B0AI-B0\CBSE\TIM Modules\9th\Physics\01-Basic Maths in Phyiscs And Vector\01 Theory.p65
f
Input Output
(Domain) (Range)
We usually denote functions in one of the two ways :
(1) By giving a formula such as y = x2 that uses a dependent variable y to denote the value of the function.
(2) By giving a formula such as f(x) = x2 that defines a function symbol f to name the function.
Strictly speaking, we should call the function f and not f(x), y = sin x. Here the function is sine and x is the
independent variable.

Examples
Examples 12 : A function f(x) is defined as f(x) = x2 + 3. Find f(0), f(1), f(x2), f(x + 1) and f(f(1)).
Solution : f(0) = 02 + 3 = 3
f(1) = 12 + 3 = 4; f(x)2 = (x2)2 + 3 = x4 + 3
f(x + 1) = (x + 1)2 + 3 = x2 + 2x + 4
f(f(1)) = f(4) = 42 + 3 = 19

1.7 DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS
The purpose of differential calculus to study the nature (i.e., increase
or decrease) and the amount of variation in a quantity when another
quantity (on which first quantity depends) varies independently.

Let a function y = f(x) be plotted as shown in figure. Average rate
of change in y w.r.t. x in interval [x 1, x2] is

= slope of chord AB.


1.7.2 Instantaneous rate of change
It is defined as the rate of change in y with x at a particular value
of x. It is measured graphically by the slope of the tangent drawn
to the y-x graph at the point (x,y) and algebraically by the first
derivative of function y =f(x).

1.7.11 Double Differentiation


If f is differentiable function, then its derivative f' is also a function, so f' may have a derivative of its own,
denoted by (f')' = f". This new function f" is called the second derivative of f because it is the derivative of the
derivative of f. Using Leibniz notation, we write the second derivative of y = f(x) as

Another notation is f"(x) = D2f(x).

Example 20 : If f(x) = x cos x, find f"(x).
Solution : Using the product rule, we have

d d
f' (x) = x (cos x) + cos x (x) = –x sin x + cos x

To find f"(x), we differentiate f'(x) :

f"(x) = (–x sin x + cos x)

POINTS TO REMEMBER

l Vector product of two vectors is always a vector perpendicular to the plane containing the two vectors, i.e.,
® ® node05\B0AI-B0\CBSE\TIM Modules\9th\Physics\01-Basic Maths in Phyiscs And Vector\01 Theory.p65
orthogonal (perpendicular) to both the vectors A and B A×B=C

l Vector product of two vectors is not commutative i.e.


B
® ® ® ® ® ® ® ® A
A´ B ¹ B ´ A But |A ´ B| = |B ´ A|= AB sin q

® ® ® ®
Note : A´ B = - B ´ A
B
A
® ® ® ®
i.e., in case of vectors A ´ B and B ´ A magnitudes are equal but
B × A = –C
directions are opposite [See the figure]
l The vector product is distributive when the order of the vectors is strictly maintained, i.e.

® ® ® ® ® ® ®
A ´ ( B + C ) = A´ B + A´ C

34
Physics
ALLEN
® ®
l According to definition of vector product of two vectors A ´ B = A B sin qn
ˆ

é ® ® ù
® ® -1 ê | A ´ B | ú
So |A ´ B|= A B sin q i.e. q = sin ê® ® ú

l The vector product of two vectors will be maximum when sin q = max. = 1, i.e., q =90°

® ®
|A ´ B|max = ABsin90o = AB

i.e. vector product is maximum if the vectors are orthogonal (perpendicular).

l The vector product of two non-zero vectors will be zero when sinq = 0,

® ®
i.e. q = 0° or 180° and |A ´ A|= 0
Therefore if the vector product of two non-zero vectors is zero, then the vectors are collinear.
l The self cross product, i.e., product of a vector by itself is a zero vector or a null vector.
