Pair of linear equations in two variables
Linear equations in two variables
Equation: An algebraic expression with equal to sign (=) is called the equation.
Without an equal to sign, it is an expression only.
Linear equation: If the greatest exponent of the variable(s) in a equation is one, then
equation is said to be a linear equation.
• If the number of variables used in linear equation is one, then equation is said to
be linear equation in one variable.
For example, 3x + 4 = 0, 3y + 15 = 0, 2t + 15 = 0, and so on.
• If the number of variables used in linear equation is two, then equation is said to
be linear equation in two variables.
For example, 3x + 2y = 12; 4z + 6z = 24, 3y + 4t = 15, etc.
Thus, equations of the form ax + by + c = 0, where a, b are non – zero real
numbers (i.e., a, b ≠ = 0) are called linear equations in two variables.
Solution: Solution(s) is/are the value/values for the variable(s) used in equation
which make(s) the two sides of the equation equal.
• Two linear equations of the form ax + by + c = 0, taken together form a system of
linear equations, and pair of values of x and y satisfying each one of the given
equation is called a solution of the system.
• To get the solution of simultaneous linear equations, two methods are used:

Quadratic Equations
Quadratic Polynomials: A polynomial of the form ax2 + bx + c is called a
quadratic polynomial in the variable x. This is a polynomial of the second
degree. In quadratic polynomial ax2 + bx + c, a ≠ 0 is the coefficient of x2, b
is the coefficient of x and c is the constant term (or coefficient of x0).
Quadratic Equation: An equation of the form ax2 + bx + c = 0, a ≠ 0, is
called a quadratic equation in one variable x, where a, b, c are constants.
For example, 4x2 – 3x + 1 = 0 and 3 – x – 7x2 = 0 are quadratic equation in
x.

Arithmetic Progressions
Sequence :-Some numbers arranged in definite order, according to a definite rule are said to
form a sequence.
Arithmetic Progression
An Arithmetic Progression (AP) is a list numbers in which each term is obtained by adding a fixed
number to the preceding term except the first term.
This fixed number is called the common difference (d) of the AP.
Note-It can be positive, negative or zero.
Calculation of ‘d’
a2 – a1 = d
a3 – a2 = d
a4 – a3 = d
an – an-1 = d and so on.
an = a+(n-1)d
Note-
In an AP, nth term is known as last term of an AP and it is denoted by I, which is given by the formula

Coordinate Geometry
A system of geometry where the position of points on the plane is described using an
ordered pair of numbers.
The coordinates of a point on x-axis is taken as (x, 0) while on y-axis it is taken as (0,
y).
The distance between two points A(x1, y1) and B(x2, y2) is given by
AB = √(𝒙𝟐 − 𝒙𝟏 )𝟐 + (𝒚𝟐 − 𝒚𝟏 )𝟐
Note-
The distance of a point (x, y) from the origin (0, 0) is √(𝒙𝟐 + 𝒚𝟐 ).
Section formula: The coordinates of the point P (x, y) which divides the line segment
joining A (x1, y1) and B (x2, y2) internally in the ratio m: n are given by
Centroid of a triangle and its coordinate: The medians of a triangle are concurrent.
Their point of concurrence is called the centroid. It divides each median in the ratio 2 :

Introduction to trigonometry
Note 1: It should be noted that sin θ is an abbreviation for “sine of angle θ”, it is not
the product of sin and θ. Similar is the case for other trigonometric ratios.
Note 2: The above trigonometric ratios are defined for an acute angle θ.

Some Applications of Trigonometry
Line of Sight
The line of sight is the line drawn from the eye of an observer to the point where the object is
viewed by the observer.
Horizontal Line
The line which goes parallel from eye to ground, is called horizontal line.
Angle of elevation
The angle of elevation of an object viewed, is the angle formed by the line of
sight with the horizontal when object viewed is above the horizontal level, i.e.
the case when we lower our head to look at the object.
Angle of Depression
The angle of depression of an object viewed, is the angle formed by the line of sight with the
horizontal, when it is below the horizontal level, i.e. the case when we lower our head to look at the
object.

Chapter–10 Circles
Circles-A circle is a collection of all those points in a plane which are at a constant
distance (radius) from a fixed point of that plane. Constant distance is length of radius and
fixed point is centre.
Note- Two or more circles having the same centre are called concentric circles.
Secant: A line which intersects circle in two distinct points is called a secant of the circle.
Tangent: The tangent to a circle is a line that meets the circle at exactly one point.
13
Number of Tangent from a Point on a Circle
(i) There are exactly two tangents to a circle through a point lying outside the circle.
circle ,i.e. PT1 and PT2
(ii) There is one and only one tangent to a circle passing through a point lying on the circle.
(iii) There is no tangent to a circle passing through a point lying inside the circle.

Some Important Terms Related to Chapter 12 Area Related to Circles
Chord :-A line segment joining any two points on the circumference of the circle is called a chord
of the circle. If this chord passes through the centre, then the chord (or diameter) is the longest
chord of the circle
Semi – Circle
A diameter of a circle divides it into two equals parts or in two equal arcs. Each of these two arcs is
called a semi-circles
Circumference
The length of the complete circle is called the circumference of the circle.
Sector
The region between an arc and the two radii, joining the ends of the arc to the centre, is called a
sector.
15
Segment
The region between a chord and either of its arc is called a segment of the circular region or simply a
segment of the circle. The segment formed by minor arc along with chord, is called minor segment
and the segment formed by major arc, is called the major segment.
Here, O is centre of circle and AB is tangent of circle at P and it is point of contact and OP is radius.
∴ 𝐎𝐏 ⊥ 𝐀𝐁.
16
Theorem 2 The lengths of two tangents drawn from an external point to a circle are equal.
Important Results
(i) If two circles touch internally or externally, then point of contact lies on the straight line through
the two centres .
(ii) The opposite sides of a quadrilateral circumscribing acircle subtend supplementary angles at the
centre of the circle.

Statistics
Mean – the arithmetic mean (or, simply mean) is the sum of the values of all
the observations divided by the total number of observations.
Short cut method: in some problems, where the number of variates is large
or the values of xi or fi are larger, then the calculations become tedious. To
overcome this difficulty, we use short cut or deviation method.
∑ 𝑓𝑖 𝑑𝑖
Mean 𝑋 = 𝐴 + ∑ 𝑓𝑖
21
Mode – The mode of a distribution is the value of observation with highest
frequency. In a continuous frequency distribution with equal class interval,
mode is obtained by locating a class with the maximum frequency.

𝑚𝑜𝑑𝑒 = 𝑙 + ×ℎ
2𝑓1 − 𝑓0 − 𝑓2
Where,
l = lower limit of the modal class
f1 = frequency of the modal class
f0 = frequency of the class preceding the modal class
f2 = frequency of the class succeeding the modal class.
h = size of the modal class.
Median
The median gives the value of the middle – most observation in the data.
Median of ungrouped data
For finding median of ungrouped data, we first arrange the data in
ascending order.
𝑛+1
• If n is odd, median = ( 2 ) 𝑡ℎ observation
1 𝑛 𝑛
• If n is even, median = 2 [ 2 𝑡ℎ + ( 2 + 1) 𝑡ℎ ] observation.

Probability
Probability is a quantitative measure of likelihood of a given event’s occurrence. It is
expressed as a number between 0 and 1.
Experiment:
An operation which gives some well-defined outcomes.
Random experiment:
An experiment whose outcome has to be among a collection of possible outcomes, which are
known, is called a random experiment.
Sample Space-
The sample space of an experiment is the set of all possible outcomes.
Elementary Event:
An outcome of a random experiment is called an elementary event.
Compound Event:
An event associated to a random experiment is a compound event, if it is obtained by
combining two or more elementary events associated to the random experiment.
Sure events:
Those events whose probability is one
Impossible event:
Those events whose probability is zero.
Complement/Negation of an event:
corresponding to every event A associated with a random experiment, we define an event
‘not A’ or 𝐴 which occurs when and only when A does not occur, for any event A, P(A) +
P(𝐴) = 1 ; P(𝐴) = 1 - P(A).
Probability:
If there are n elementary events associated with a random experiment and m of them are
favourable to an event A then the probability of happening of event A is defined as the ratio
and is denoted by P(A).
P(A) = m/n
Probability of any event always lies between 0 and 1, i.e,
(a) Probability of an event cannot be negative
(b) Probability of an event cannot be more than 1.
