EXPONENTS
Product Law: am X an = am+n
Quotient Law : am / an = am-n , if m>n
: am / an = 1 / an-m , if n>m
Power Law : (am)n = amn
(-a)n = an , if n is even
(-a)n = -an , if n is odd
a-n = 1/ an
1/ a-n = an
(a X b)n = an X bn
(a/b)n = an / bn
a0 = 1
n√a = a1/n
n√am = am/n
IDENTITIES
(x + y) (x - y) = x2 – y2
x2 – y2 = (x + y) (x – y)
(a + b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
(a - b)2 = a2 + b2 - 2ab
(a + 1/a)2 = a2 + 1/ a2 +2
(a - 1/a)2 = a2 + 1/ a2 - 2
(a + b + c)2 = a2 + b2 + c2 + 2ab + 2bc + 2ca
(a + b)3 = a3 + b3 + 3ab (a + b)
(a + b)3 = a3 - b3 - 3ab (a - b)
LINEAR EQUATIONS
Consecutive nos = x ,x+1,x+2,x+3 ………
Consecutive even nos = x,x+2,x+4…… ,
where x is even
Consecutive odd nos = x,x+2,x+4…… , where
x is odd
Consecutive multiples of n = x,x+n,x+2n …..,
where n is a non zero number
UNDERSTANDING SHAPES
Sum of interior angles = (n-2)180
Sum of exterior angles = 360
Measure of each interior angle =(n-2)180 /n
No of sides (n) = (n-2)180 /each angle
Measure of each exterior angle = 360/n
Number of sides = 360/each angle
Each interior angle + its exterior angle = 180
Sum of interior angles of a quadrilateral = 360

SETS
n(C) = Cardinal no of set C = 4
Equal sets = All elements are same
Equivalent sets – No of elements are same
A ⊆ (Subset)B , if all elements of A are in B
B ⊃ (Superset)A , if all elements of A are in B
A ⊂ (Proper Subset)B , If all elements of A are in B
and there is one element in B that is not in A
Every set is a subset of itself
Null set is the subset of every set
No of subsets = 2n , n = No of elements in a set
Universal set = Largest superset
A U B = A union B , all elements in both sets are
under a single set
A∩B , all common elements of A and B are in 1 set

B – A ,elements common with A ,removed from B
Compliment of A = A’ = Elements of A that are not
there in the universal set
