Counting numbers/ Natural numbers or positive integers: 1, 2, 3, and so on. Integers: positive integers, negative integers and zero ( neither (+) nor (-)

E.g. 5, -19, 0 Rational number: any number that can be represented by the division of one integer by another nonzero integer; are used to specify parts of a quantity E.g. 5, -19, 5/8, -11/3 Irrational numbers: cannot be written as the division of one integer by another. E.g. 2, Real Numbers: The integers, the rational numbers, and the irrational numbers, including all such numbers that are (+), (-), or zero. Imaginary number: the square root of a negative number; not real numbers

Fraction - may contain any number or symbol representing a number in its numerator or in its

denominator; Indicates the division of the numerator by the denominator ; may be a number that is rational, irrational, or imaginary.

Examples:

Absolute value- the absolute value of a positive number is the number itself, and the absolute value
of a negative number is the corresponding positive number. E.g. The absolute value of 6 is 6, and the absolute value -7of is 7. We write these as | 6 | = 6 and | -7| = 7.

SIGNS OF INEQUALITY : On the number line, if a first number is to the right of a second number,
then the first number is said to be greater than (>) the second. If the number is to the left of the second, it is less than (<) the second

RECIPROCAL

NOTE: Every number, except zero, has a reciprocal. The reciprocal of a number is 1 divided by the number.

 DENOMINATE NUMBERS: Numbers that represent a measurement and are written with units of
measurement Examples: To show that a certain HDTV set weighs 28 kilograms, we write the weight as 28 kg. To show that a giant redwood tree is 110 metres high, we write the height as 110 m. To show that the speed of a rocket is 1500 metres per second, we write the speed as 1500 m/s. To show that the area of a computer chip is 0.75 square centimetre, we write the area as 0.75 cm2. To show that the volume of water in a glass tube is 25 cubic centimetres, we write the volume as 25 cm3.

LITERAL NUMBERS: It is usually more convenient to state definitions and operations on numbers in
a general form. To do this, we represent the numbers by letters, called literal numbers. Variables- literal numbers that may vary in a given problem Constants- literal numbers that are held fixed ALGEBRA AND ARITHMETIC Arithmetic: only numbers and their arithmetical operations (such as +, , , ) occur Algebra: also uses variables such as x and y, or a and b to replace numbers. The major difference between algebra and arithmetic is the inclusion of variables. Variable - a letter or symbol used in algebra to represent numbers; allows the making of generalizations in mathematics allows arithmetical equations (and inequalities) to be stated as laws (such as a + b = b + a for all a and b), and thus is the first step to the systematic study of the properties of the real number system. allows reference to numbers which are not known may represent a certain value which is not yet known, but which may be found through the formulation and manipulation of equations. allows the exploration of mathematical relationships between quantities (e.g.: "if you sell x tickets, then your profit will be 3x 10 dollars"). Expressions (In elementary algebra), may contain numbers, variables and arithmetical operations. conventionally written with 'higher-power' terms on the left

EXPLANATION The word "commutative" comes from "commute" or "move around" The word "associative" comes from "associate" or "group"; the rule that refers to grouping. "multiplication distributes over addition; Either takes something through parentheses or else factors something out. For addition: the sum of a number and 0 is the number itself. For multiplication: The product of a number and 0 is the number itself. Additive inverse: the number that you add to a certain number that

For addition: a + b = b + a For multiplication: ab = ba For addition: a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c For multiplication: a(bc) = (ab)c a(b + c) = ab + ac

EXAMPLE 2+3=3+2 23 = 32 2 + (3 + 4) = (2 + 3) + 4 2(34) = (23)4 2(3 + 4) = 23 + 24 2(x + y) = 2x + 2y

1/a

The relation of equality (=) is... reflexive: b = b; symmetric: if a = b then b = a; transitive: if a = b and b = c then a = c. The relation of equality (=) has the property... that if a = b and c = d then a + c = b + d and ac = bd; that if a = b then a + c = b + c; that if two symbols are equal, then one can be substituted for the other.

OPERATIONS ON POSITIVE AND NEGATIVE INTEGERS

Addition of two numbers of the same sign: Add their absolute values and assign the sum their common sign.

Addition of two numbers of different signs Subtract the number of smaller absolute value from the number of larger absolute value and assign to the result the sign of the number of larger absolute value.

Subtraction of one number from another Change the sign of the number being subtracted and change the subtraction to addition. Perform the addition.

Multiplication and division of two numbers The product (or quotient) of two numbers of the same sign is positive. The product (or quotient) of two numbers of different signs is negative.

ORDER OF OPERATIONS Often, how we are to combine numbers is clear by grouping the numbers using symbols such as parentheses ( ), the bar,____, between the numerator and denominator of a fraction, and vertical lines | | for absolute value. Otherwise, for an expression in which there are several operations, we use the following order of operations. 1. Operations within specific groupings are done first. 2. Perform multiplications and divisions (from left to right). 3. Then perform additions and subtractions (from left to right). (PMDAS) EXAMPLES:

1. 16 - 2 x 3=
2. | 3 5 | - | -3 6 |= 3. 12- 6 2 = 4. 16 (2 x 4) NOTE: When evaluating expressions, it is generally more convenient to change the operations and numbers so that the result is found by the addition and subtraction of positive numbers. EVALUATING NUMERICAL EXPRESSIONS

OPERATIONS WITH ZERO

Note: Never divide by zero. Division by zero is the only undefined basic operation. All the other operations with zero may be performed as for any other number. RATIO AND PROPORTION Ratio: The quotient is a/b is also called the ratio a of to b. Proportion: An equation stating that two ratios are equal; If the ratio of to 8 equals the ratio of 3 to 4, we have the proportion: Since a proportion is an equation, if one of the numbers is unknown, we can solve for its value as with any equation. Usually, this is done by noting the denominators and multiplying each side by a number that will clear the fractions.

WORD PROBLEMS Age 1. Father is aged three times more than his son Ronit. After 8 years, he would be two and a half times of Ronit's age. After further 8 years, how many times would he be of Ronit's age? A. 2 times

2 C. 2 3 time 4 s D.

3 times

Let Ronit's present age be x years. Then, father's present age =(x + 3x) years = 4x years. (4x + 5 (x + 8) = 2 8) 8x + 16 = 5x + 40 3x = 24 x = 8. (4x + 4 16) 8 = Hence, required = ratio = (x + 2 2. 16) 4 2. A father said to his son, "I was as old as you are now when you were born". If the father's age is 38 years now, the son's age five years back was: A. C. 14 years 33 years B. D. 19 years 38 years

Answer: Option A Let the son's present age be x years. Then, (38 - x) = x 2x = 38. x = 19. Son's age 5 years back (19 - 5) = 14 years. 3. The sum of the present ages of a father and his son is 60 years. Six years ago, father's age was five times the age of the son. After 6 years, son's age will be: A. C. 12 years 18 years B. D. 14 years 20 years

Answer: Option D Let the present ages of son and father be x and (60 -x) years respectively. Then, (60 - x) - 6 = 5(x - 6) 54 - x = 5x - 30 6x = 84 x = 14. Son's age after 6 years = (x+ 6) = 20 years.. Work A can do a work in 15 days and B in 20 days. If they work on it together for 4 days, then the fraction of the work that is left is : 1 A. 4 B. 1 1 0 8 D. 1 5

NUMBERS Three times the first of three consecutive odd integers is 3 more than twice the third. The third integer is: A. C. 9 13 B. D. 11 15

Answer: Option D Explanation: Let the three integers be x, x + 2 and x + 4. Then, 3x = 2(x + 4) + 3 x = 11. Third integer = x + 4 = 15. Trigonometry-a branch of mathematics that studies triangles and the relationships between their sides and the angles between these sides. defines the trigonometric functions, which describe those relationships and have applicability to cyclical phenomena, such as waves.

In this right triangle: sin A = a/c; cos A = b/c;tan A = a/b Trigonometric function Sine function (sin) Cosine function (cos), Tangent function (tan Cosecant Secant Cotangent Definition the ratio of the side opposite the angle to the hypotenuse. the ratio of the adjacent leg to the hypotenuse. of the opposite leg to the adjacent leg.

Hypotenuse- the side opposite to the 90 degree angle in a right triangle; it is the longest side of the triangle, and one of the two sides adjacent to angle A. adjacent leg- the other side that is adjacent to angle A. opposite side- ithe side that is opposite to angle A. The reciprocals of these functions are named the cosecant (csc or cosec), secant (sec), and cotangent (cot), respectively: Calculate the length of the side x, given that tan = 0.4

ANALYTIC GEOMETRY In analytic geometry, the plane is given a coordinate system, by which every point has a pair of real number coordinates. The most common coordinate system to use is theC artesian coordinate system, where each point has an xcoordinate representing its horizontal position, and a y-coordinate representing its vertical position. These are typically written as an ordered pair (x, y). This system can also be used for three-dimensional geometry, where every point in Euclidean space is represented by anordered triple of coordinates (x, y, z)

the slope m of the line: 1. Find the slope of the line that passes through the points (-1 , 0) and (3 , 8). Solution: m = (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1) = (8 - 0) / (3 - -1) = 2 What is the slope of the line -7y + 8x = 9 Solution: Rewrite the equation in slope intercept form. -7y = -8x + 9 y = (8/7) x - 9/7 The slope of the given line is 8/7. DEGREES AND RADIANS The concept of angle is one of the most important concepts in geometry. The concepts of equality, sums, and differences of angles are important and used throughout geometry, but the subject of trigonometry is based on the measurement of angles.

Conversion between radians and degree

A chart to convert between degrees and radians As stated, one radian is equal to 180/ degrees. Thus, to convert from radians to degrees, multiply by 180/.

For example:

Conversely, to convert from degrees to radians, multiply by /180.

For example:

Radians can be converted to turns by dividing the number of radians by 2. Radian to degree conversion derivation We know that the length of circumference of a circle is given by , where radius of the circle. So, we can very well say that the following equivalent relation is true: [Since a sweep is need to draw a full circle] By definition of radian, we can formulate that a full circle represents:

is the

Radians /2 /3 /4 /6
Combining both the above relations we can say:

Probability is ordinarily used to describe an attitude of mind towards some proposition of whose truth we are not certain. The proposition of interest is usually of the form "Will a specific event occur?" The attitude of mind is of the form "How certain are we that the event will occur?" Examples:
