1.COMPLEX NUMBERS
1. DEFINITION : Complex numbers are definited as expressions of the form a + ib where a, b ∈ R &
i = − 1. It is denoted by z i.e. z = a + ib. ‘a’ is called as real part of z (Re z) and ‘b’ is called as imaginary part of z (Im z). www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com EVERY COMPLEX NUMBER CAN BE REGARDED AS
Purely real Purely imaginary Imaginary if b = 0 if a = 0 if b ≠ 0 Note : (a) The set R of real numbers is a proper subset of the Complex Numbers. Hence the Complete Number system is N ⊂ W ⊂ I ⊂ Q ⊂ R ⊂ C. (b) Zero is both purely real as well as purely imaginary but not imaginary.
(c) i = − 1 is called the imaginary unit. Also i² = − l ; i^3 = −i ; i^4 = 1 etc.
(d) (^) a b = (^) a b only if atleast one of either a or b is non-negative.www. Maths By Suhag .com
2. CONJUGATE COMPLEX : If z = a + ib then its conjugate complex is obtained by changing the sign of its imaginary part & is denoted by z. i.e. z = a − ib. Note that : www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com (i) z + z = 2 Re(z) (ii) z − z = 2i Im(z) (iii) z z = a² + b² which is real (iv) If z lies in the 1st^ quadrant then (^) z lies in the 4th^ quadrant and − (^) z lies in the 2nd^ quadrant. 3. ALGEBRAIC OPERATIONS : The algebraic operations on complex numbers are similiar to those on real numbers treating i as a polynomial. Inequalities in complex numbers are not defined. There is no validity if we say that complex number is positive or negative. e.g. z > 0, 4 + 2i < 2 + 4 i are meaningless. However in real numbers if a^2 + b^2 = 0 then a = 0 = b but in complex numbers, z 12 + z 22 = 0 does not imply z 1 = z 2 = 0.www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com 4. EQUALITY IN COMPLEX NUMBER : Two complex numbers z 1 = a 1 + ib 1 & z 2 = a 2 + ib 2 are equal if and only if their real & imaginary parts coincide. 5. REPRESENTATION OF A COMPLEX NUMBER IN VARIOUS FORMS: (a) Cartesian Form (Geometric Representation) : Every complex number z = x + i y can be represented by a point on the cartesian plane known as complex plane (Argand diagram) by the ordered pair (x, y). length OP is called modulus of the complex number denoted by z & θ is called the argument or amplitude eg. z = (^) x 2 +y^2
θ = tan−^1
y x (angle made by OP with positive x−axis)
NOTE :(i) z is always non negative. Unlike real numbers z =
z if z z if z
> − <
0 0
is not correct
(ii) Argument of a complex number is a many valued function. If θ is the argument of a complex number then 2 nπ + θ ; n ∈ I will also be the argument of that complex number. Any two arguments of a complex number differ by 2nπ. (iii) The unique value of θ such that – π < θ ≤ π is called the principal value of the argument. (iv) Unless otherwise stated, amp z implies principal value of the argument. (v) By specifying the modulus & argument a complex number is defined completely. For the complex number 0 + 0 i the argument is not defined and this is the only complex number which is given by its modulus.www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com
(vi) There exists a one-one correspondence between the points of the plane and the members of the set of complex numbers. (b) Trignometric / Polar Representation : z = r (cos θ + i sin θ) where | z | = r ; arg z = θ ; z = r (cos θ − i sin θ) Note: cos θ + i sin θ is also written as CiS θ.
Also cos x = 2
e ix^ + e−ix & sin x = 2
e ix^ − e−ix are known as Euler's identities.
(c) Exponential Representation : z = reiθ^ ; | z | = r ; arg z = θ ; z = re−^ iθ
6. IMPORTANT PROPERTIES OF CONJUGATE / MODULI / AMPLITUDE : If z , z 1 , z 2 ∈ C then ;

(iii) amp(zn) = n amp(z) + 2kπ. where proper value of k must be chosen so that RHS lies in (− π , π ]. (7) VECTORIAL REPRESENTATION OF A COMPLEX : Every complex number can be considered as if it is the position vector of that point. If the point P
represents the complex number z then,
→ OP (^) = z &
→ OP (^) = z.

(iii) If z 1 , z 2 , z 3 are the vertices of an equilateral triangle where z 0 is its circumcentre then (a) z 12 + z 22 + z 32 − z 1 z 2 − z 2 z 3 − z 3 z 1 = 0 (b) z 12 + z 22 + z 32 = 3 z 02
8. DEMOIVRE’S THEOREM : Statement : cos n θ + i sin n θ is the value or one of the values of (cos θ + i sin θ)n^ ¥ n ∈ Q. The theorem is very useful in determining the roots of any complex quantity Note : Continued product of the roots of a complex quantity should be determined using theory of equations.
root must be the conjugate of it i.e. β = p − q & vice versa.
4. A quadratic equation whose roots are α & β is (x − α)(x − β) = 0 i.e. x^2 − (α + β) x + α β = 0 i.e. x^2 − (sum of roots) x + product of roots = 0. 5. Remember that a quadratic equation cannot have three different roots & if it has, it becomes an identity. 6. Consider the quadratic expression , y = ax² + bx + c , a ≠ 0 & a , b , c ∈ R then (i) The graph between x , y is always a parabola. If a > 0 then the shape of the parabola is concave upwards & if a < 0 then the shape of the parabola is concave downwards. (ii) ∀ x ∈ R , y > 0 only if a > 0 & b² − 4ac < 0 (figure 3). (iii) ∀ x ∈ R , y < 0 only if a < 0 & b² − 4ac < 0 (figure 6). Carefully go through the 6 different shapes of the parabola given below.
ax^2 + bx + c > 0 (a ≠ 0). (i) If D > 0, then the equation ax^2 + bx + c = 0 has two different roots x 1 < x 2. Then a > 0 x ∈ (−∞, x 1 ) ∪ (x 2 , ∞) a < 0 x ∈ (x 1 , x 2 )www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com (ii) If D = 0, then roots are equal, i.e. x 1 = x 2. In that case a > 0 x ∈ (−∞, x 1 ) ∪ (x 1 , ∞) a < 0 x ∈ φ
(iii) Inequalities of the form P x Q x

9.COMMON ROOTS OF 2 QUADRATIC EQUATIONS [ONLY ONE COMMON ROOT] : Let α be the common root of ax² + bx + c = 0 & a′x^2 + b′x + c′ = 0 Thereforea α² + bα + c = 0 ;
a′α² + b′α + c′ = 0. By Cramer’s Rule ab ab

ac a c
bc b c ab a b
ca c a ′− ′
.So the condition for a common root is (ca′ − c′a)² = (ab′ − a′b)(bc′ − b′c).
10. The condition that a quadratic function f (x , y) = ax² + 2 hxy + by² + 2 gx + 2 fy + c may be resolved into two linear factors is that ;
abc + 2 fgh − af^2 − bg^2 − ch^2 = 0 OR
a h g h b f g f c
11. THEORY OF EQUATIONS : If α 1 , α 2 , α 3 , ......αn are the roots of the equation;
f(x) = a 0 xn^ + a 1 xn-1^ + a 2 xn-2^ + .... + an-1x + an = 0 where a 0 , a 1 , .... an are all real & a 0 ≠ 0 then, α 1 = − a a

n 0 Note : (i) If α is a root of the equation f(x) = 0, then the polynomial f(x) is exactly divisible by (x − α) or (x − α) is a factor of f(x) and conversely. (ii) Every equation of nth degree (n ≥ 1) has exactly n roots & if the equation has more than n roots, it is an identity. (iii) If the coefficients of the equation f(x) = 0 are all real and α + iβ is its root, then α − iβ is also a root. i.e. imaginary roots occur in conjugate pairs. (iv) If the coefficients in the equation are all rational & α + β^ is one of its roots, then α − β^ is also a root where α, β ∈ Q & β is not a perfect square. (v) If there be any two real numbers 'a' & 'b' such that f(a) & f(b) are of opposite signs, then f(x) = 0 must have atleast one real root between 'a' and 'b'. (vi) Every eqtion f(x) = 0 of degree odd has atleast one real root of a sign opposite to that of its last term.
12. LOCATION OF ROOTS : www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com Let f (x) = ax^2 + bx + c, where a > 0 & a, b, c ∈ R. (i) Conditions for both the roots of f (x) = 0 to be greater than a specified number ‘d’ are b^2 − 4ac ≥ 0; f (d) > 0 & (− b/2a) > d. (ii) Conditions for both roots of f (x) = 0 to lie on either side of the number ‘d’ (in other words the number ‘d’ lies between the roots of f (x) = 0) is f (d) < 0. (iii) Conditions for exactly one root of f (x) = 0 to lie in the interval (d , e) i.e. d < x < e are b^2 − 4ac > 0 & f (d). f (e) < 0. (iv) Conditions that both roots of f (x) = 0 to be confined between the numbers p & q are (p < q). b^2 − 4ac ≥ 0; f (p) > 0; f (q) > 0 & p < (− b/2a) < q. 13. LOGARITHMIC INEQUALITIES (i) For a > 1 the inequality 0 < x < y & loga x < loga y are equivalent. (ii) For 0 < a < 1 the inequality 0 < x < y & loga x > loga y are equivalent. (iii) If a > 1 then loga x < p 0 < x < ap (iv) If a > 1 then logax > p x > ap (v) If 0 < a < 1 then loga x < p x > ap (vi) If 0 < a < 1 then logax > p 0 < x < ap www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com 3. Sequence & Progression(AP, GP, HP, AGP, Spl. Series) DEFINITION : A sequence is a set of terms in a definite order with a rule for obtaining the terms. e.g. 1 , 1/2 , 1/3 , ....... , 1/n , ........ is a sequence. AN ARITHMETIC PROGRESSION (AP) : AP is a sequence whose terms increase or decrease by a fixed number. This fixed number is called the common difference. If a is the first term & d the common difference, then AP can be written as a, a + d, a + 2 d, ....... a + (n – 1)d, ........ nth^ term of this AP tn = a +
(n – 1)d, where d = an – an-1. The sum of the first n terms of the AP is given by ; Sn = n 2 [2 a + (n – 1)d] = n 2 [a

(v) Any term of an AP (except the first) is equal to half the sum of terms which are equidistant from it. (vi) tr = Sr − Sr− 1 (vii) If a , b , c are in AP 2 b = a + c. GEOMETRIC PROGRESSION (GP) : GP is a sequence of numbers whose first term is non zero & each of the succeeding terms is equal to the proceeding terms multiplied by a constant. Thus in a GP the ratio of successive terms is constant. This constant factor is called the COMMON RATIO of the series & is obtained by dividing any term by that which immediately proceeds it. Therefore a, ar, ar^2 , ar^3 , ar^4 , ...... is a GP with a as the first term & r as common ratio.www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com

(iv) If each term of a GP be multiplied or divided by the same non-zero quantity, the resulting sequence is also a GP. (v) Any 3 consecutive terms of a GP can be taken as a/r, a, ar ; any 4 consecutive terms of a GP can be taken as a/r^3 , a/r, ar, ar^3 & so on. (vi) If a, b, c are in GP b^2 = ac.www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com HARMONIC PROGRESSION (HP) : A sequence is said to HP if the reciprocals of its terms are in AP.If the sequence a 1 , a 2 , a 3 , .... , an is an HP then 1/a 1 , 1/a 2 , .... , 1/an is an AP & converse. Here we do not have the formula for the sum of the n terms of an HP. For HP whose
first term is a & second term is b, the nth^ term is tn = a b b + ( n − 1 ) ( a −b)

GEOMETRIC MEANS : If a, b, c are in GP, b is the GM between a & c. b² = ac, therefore b = a c ; a > 0, c > 0.
n-GEOMETRIC MEANS BETWEEN a, b : If a, b are two given numbers & a, G 1 , G 2 , ..... , Gn, b are in GP. Then G 1 , G 2 , G 3 , ...., Gn are n GMs between a & b.
G 1 = a(b/a)1/n+1, G 2 = a(b/a)2/n+1, ...... , Gn = a(b/a)n/n+ = ar , = ar² , ...... = arn, where r = (b/a)1/n+ NOTE : The product of n GMs between a & b is equal to the nth^ power of the single GM between a & b

HARMONIC MEAN : If a, b, c are in HP, b is the HM between a & c, then b = 2ac/[a + c]. THEOREM : If A, G, H are respectively AM, GM, HM between a & b both being unequal & positive then, (i) G² = AH (ii) A > G > H (G > 0). Note that A, G, H constitute a GP. ARITHMETICO-GEOMETRIC SERIES : A series each term of which is formed by multiplying the corresponding term of an AP & GP is called the Arithmetico-Geometric Series. e.g. 1 + 3x + 5x^2 + 7x^3 + .....

Remember that to find the sum of n terms of a series each term of which is composed of r factors in AP, the first factors of several terms being in the same AP, we “write down the nth term, affix the next factor at the end, divide by the number of factors thus increased and by the common difference and add a constant. Determine the value of the constant by applying the initial conditions”.
4.PERMUTATION AND COMBINATION DEFINITIONS :1. PERMUTATION : Each of the arrangements in a definite order which can be made by taking some or all of a number of things is called a PERMUTATION. 2.COMBINATION : Each of the groups or selections which can be made by taking some or all of a number of things without reference to the order of the things in each group is called a COMBINATION. FUNDAMENTAL PRINCIPLE OF COUNTING : If an event can occur in ‘m’ different ways, following which another event can occur in ‘ n ’ different ways, then the total number of different ways of simultaneous occurrence of both events in a definite order is m × n. This can be extended to any number of events. RESULTS :(i) A Useful Notation : n! = n (n − 1) (n − 2)......... 3. 2. 1 ; n! = n. (n − 1) !0! = 1! = 1 ; (2n)! = 2n. n! [1. 3. 5. 7...(2n − 1)] Note that factorials of negative integers are not defined. (ii) If nPr denotes the number of permutations of n different things, taking r at a time, then

4. MINORS : The minor of a given element of a determinant is the determinant of the elements which remain after deleting the row & the column in which the given element stands For example, the
minor of a 1 in (Key Concept 2) is
b c b c
2 2 3 3
& the minor of b 2 is
a c a c
1 1 3 3
. Hence a determinant of order two will have “4 minors” & a determinant of order three will have “9 minors”. 5. COFACTOR : If Mij represents the minor of some typical element then the cofactor is defined as : Cij = (−1)i+j^. Mij ; Where i & j denotes the row & column in which the particular element lies. Note that the value of a determinant of order three in terms of ‘Minor’ & ‘Cofactor’ can be written as : D = a 11 M 11 − a 12 M 12 + a 13 M 13 OR D = a 11 C 11 + a 12 C 12 + a 13 C 13 & so on ....... 6. PROPERTIES OF DETERMINANTS : P −−−− 1 : The value of a determinant remains unaltered , if the rows & columns are inter changed. e.g.
if D =
a b c a b c a b c
a a a b b b c c c
1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3
1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3
= (^) = D′ D & D′ are transpose of each other. If D′ = − D then it
is SKEW SYMMETRIC determinant but D′ = D 2 D = 0 D = 0 Skew symmetric determinant of third order has the value zero .www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com P −−−− 2 : If any two rows (or columns) of a determinant be interchanged , the value of determinant is changed in sign only. e.g.
Let D =
a b c a b c a b c
1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3
a b c a b c a b c
2 2 2 1 1 1 3 3 3
Then D′ = − D.
P −−−− 3 : If a determinant has any two rows (or columns) identical , then its value is zero. e. g.
Let D =
a b c a b c a b c
1 1 1 1 1 1 3 3 3
then it can be verified that D = 0.
P −−−− 4 : If all the elements of any row (or column) be multiplied by the same number , then the determinant is multiplied by that number.
e.g. If D =
a b c a b c a b c
1 1 1 2 2 3 3 3
2 and D′^ =
Ka Kb Kc a b c a b c
1 1 1 2 2 3 3 3
2 Then^ D′= KD
P −−−− 5 : If each element of any row (or column) can be expressed as a sum of two terms t hen t he determinant can be expressed as the sum of two determinants. e.g. a x b y c z a b c a b c
a b c a b c a b c
x y z a b c a b c
1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3
1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3
2 2 2 3 3 3
= +
P −−−− 6 : The value of a determinant is not altered by adding to the elements of any row (or column) the same multiples of the corresponding elements of any other row (or column) .e.g. Let D
a b c a b c a b c
1 1 1 2 2 2 3 3 3
and D′ =
a ma b m b c m c a b c a n a b n b c n c
1 2 1 2 1 2 2 2 2 3 1 3 1 3 1
. Then D′ = D.
Note : that while applying this property ATLEAST ONE ROW (OR COLUMN) must remain unchanged. P −−−− 7 : If by putting x = a the value of a determinant vanishes then (x − a) is a factor of the determinant.

Note: Max. number of distinct entries in a symmetric matrix of order n is 2
n (n+ 1 ) . and skew symmetric if , ai j = − aj i ∀ i & j (the pair of conjugate elements are additive inverse of each other) (Note A = –AT^ ) Hence If A is skew symmetric, then ai i = − ai i ai i = 0 ∀ i Thus the digaonal elements of a skew symmetric matrix are all zero , but not the converse. Properties Of Symmetric & Skew Matrix : P −−−− 1 A is symmetric if AT^ = A A is skew symmetric if AT^ = − A P −−−− 2 A + ATis a symmetric matrix A − AT^ is a skew symmetric matrix. Consider (A + AT)T^ = AT^ + (AT)T^ = AT^ + A = A + AT^ A + AT^ is symmetric. Similarly we can prove that A − AT
(vi) EQUALLY LIKELY EVENTS : Events are said to be EQUALLY LIKELY when each event is as likely to occur as any other event. (vii) EXHAUSTIVE EVENTS : Events A,B,C ........ L are said to be EXHAUSTIVE EVENTS if no event outside this set can result as an outcome of an experiment. For example, if A & B are two events defined on a sample space S, then A & B are exhaustive A ∪ B = S P (A ∪ B) = 1. (viii) CLASSICAL DEF.

9.FUNCTIONS
THINGS TO REMEMBER : 1. GENERAL DEFINITION : If to every value (Considered as real unless other−wise stated) of a variable x, which belongs to some collection (Set) E, there corresponds one and only one finite value of the quantity y, then y is said to be a function (Single valued) of x or a dependent variable defined on the set E ; x is the argument or independent variable. If to every value of x belonging to some set E there corresponds one or several values of the variable y, then y is called a multiple valued function of x defined on E.Conventionally the word "FUNCTION” is used only as the meaning of a single valued function, if not otherwise stated. Pictorially : x input
f x y output
( ) = → , y^ is called the image of x & x is the pre-image of y under f. Every function from^ A^ →^ B
satisfies the following conditions. (i) f ⊂ A x B (ii) ∀ a ∈ A (a, f(a)) ∈ f and (iii) (a, b) ∈ f & (a, c) ∈ f b = c
2. DOMAIN, CO −−−− DOMAIN & RANGE OF A FUNCTION : Let f : A → B, then the set A is known as the domain of f & the set B is known as co-domain of f. The set of all f images o f elements of A is known as t he range of f. Thus
Domain of f = {a a ∈ A, (a, f(a)) ∈ f} Range of f = {f(a) a ∈ A, f(a) ∈ B} It should be noted that range is a subset of co−domain. If only the rule of function is given then the domain of the function is the set of those real numbers, where function is defined. For a continuous function, the interval from minimum to maximum value of a function gives the range.
3. IMPORTANT TYPES OF FUNCTIONS : (i) POLYNOMIAL FUNCTION : If a function f is defined by f (x) = a 0 xn^ + a 1 xn−^1 + a 2 xn−^2 + ... + an− 1 x + an where n is a non negative integer and a 0 , a 1 , a 2 , ..., an are real numbers and a 0 ≠ 0, then f is called a polynomial function of degree n NOTE : (a) A polynomial of degree one with no constant term is called an odd linear function. i.e. f(x) = ax , a ≠ 0 (b) There are two polynomial functions , satisfying the relation ; f(x).f(1/x) = f(x) + f(1/x). They are : (i) f(x) = xn^ + 1 & (ii) f(x) = 1 − xn^ , where n is a positive integer. (ii) ALGEBRAIC FUNCTION : y is an algebraic function of x, if it is a function that satisfies an algebraicequation of the formP 0 (x) yn^ + P 1 (x) yn−^1 + ....... + Pn− 1 (x) y + Pn (x) = 0 Where n is a positive integer and P 0 (x), P 1 (x) ........... are Polynomials in x. e.g. y = x is an algebraic function, since it satisfies the equation y² − x² = 0. Note that all polynomial functions are Algebraic but not the converse. A function that is not algebraic is called TRANSCEDENTAL FUNCTION .www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com
(iii) FRACTIONAL RATIONAL FUNCTION : A rational function is a function of the form. y = f (x) = g x h x
( ) ( )
where g (x) & h (x) are polynomials & h (x) ≠ 0. (iv) ABSOLUTE VALUE FUNCTION : A function y = f (x) = x is called the absolute value function or
Modulus function. It is defined as : y = x=
x if x x if x
≥ − <
0 0 (V) EXPONENTIAL FUNCTION : A function f(x) = ax^ = ex^ l n a^ (a > 0 , a ≠ 1, x ∈ R) is called anexponential function. The inverse of the exponential function is called the logarithmic function. i.e. g(x) = loga x. Note that f(x) & g(x) are inverse of each other & their graphs are as shown.
(vi) SIGNUM FUNCTION : A function y= f (x) = Sgn (x) is defined as follows :
y = f (x) =
1 0 0 0 1 0
for x for x for x
− <
It is also written as Sgn x = |x|/ x ; x ≠ 0 ; f (0) = 0 (vii) GREATEST INTEGER OR STEP UP FUNCTION : The function y = f (x) = [x] is called the greatest integer function where [x] denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x. Note that for : − 1 ≤ x < 0 ; [x] = − 1 0 ≤ x < 1 ; [x] = 0 1 ≤ x < 2 ; [x] = 1 2 ≤ x < 3 ; [x] = 2 and so on. Properties of greatest integer function : (a) [x] ≤ x < [x] + 1 and x − 1 < [x] ≤ x , 0 ≤ x − [x] < 1

f image in B. Thus f : A → B is many one if for ; x 1 , x 2 ∈ A , f(x 1 ) = f(x 2 ) but x 1 ≠ x 2 Diagramatically a many one mapping can be shown as
Note : (i) Any continuous function which has atleast one local maximum or local minimum, then f(x) is many−one. In other words, if a line parallel to x−axis cuts the graph of the function atleast at two points, then f is many−one .www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com (ii) If a function is one−one, it cannot be many−one and vice versa. Onto function (Surjective mapping) : If the function f : A → B is such that each element in B (co−domain) is the f image of atleast one element in A, then we say that f is a function of A 'onto' B. Thus f : A → B is surjective iff ∀ b ∈ B, ∃ some a ∈ A such that f (a) = b. Diagramatically surjective mapping can be shown as
Note that : if range = co−domain, then f(x) is onto. Into function : If f : A → B is such that there exists atleast one element in co−domain which is not the image of any element in domain, then f(x) is into. Diagramatically into function can be shown as
Note that : If a function is onto, it cannot be into and vice versa. A polynomial of degree even will always be into. Thus a function can be one of these four types :
(a) one−one onto (injective & surjective)
(b) one−one into (injective but not surjective)
(c) many−one onto (surjective but not injective)
(d) many−one into (neither surjective nor injective)
Note : (i) If f is both injective & surjective, then it is called a Bijective mapping. The bijective functions are also named as invertible, non singular or biuniform functions. (ii) If a set A contains n distinct elements then the number of different functions defined from A (^) → A is nn^ & out of it n! are one one. Identity function : The function f : A → A defined by f(x) = x ∀ x ∈ A is called the identity of A and is denoted by IA. It is easy to observe that identity function is a bijection. Constant function : A function f : A → B is said to be a constant function if every element of A has the same f image in B. Thus f : A → B ; f(x) = c , ∀ x ∈ A , c ∈ B is a constant function. Note that the range of a constant function is a singleton and a constant function may be one-one or many-one, onto or into.
7. ALGEBRAIC OPERATIONS ON FUNCTIONS : If f & g are real valued functions of x with domain set A, B respectively, then both f & g are defined in A ∩ B. Now we define f + g , f − g , (f. g) & (f/g) as follows :
(i) (f ± g) (x) = f(x) ± g(x) (ii) (f. g) (x) = f(x). g(x)
(iii)
f g
(x) =^
f x g x
domain is {x x ∈ A ∩ B s. t g(x) ≠ 0}.
8. COMPOSITE OF UNIFORMLY & NON-UNIFORMLY DEFINED FUNCTIONS : Let f : A → B & g : B → C be two functions. Then the function gof : A → C defined by (gof) (x) = g (f(x)) ∀ x ∈ A is called the composite of the two functions f & g.
Diagramatically (^) →x f x ( )→ → g (f(x)) .Thus the image of every x ∈ A under the function gof is the g−image of the f−image of x. Note that gof is defined only if ∀ x ∈ A, f(x) is an element of the domain of g so that we can take its g-image. Hence for the product gof of two functions f & g, the range of f must be a subset of the domain of g. PROPERTIES OF COMPOSITE FUNCTIONS : (i) The composite of functions is not commutative i.e. gof ≠ fog. (ii) The composite of functions is associative i.e. if f, g, h are three functions such that fo (goh) & (fog) oh are defined, then fo (goh) = (fog) oh. (iii) The composite of two bijections is a bijection i.e. if f & g are two bijections such that gof is defined, then gof is also a bijection.www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com
9. HOMOGENEOUS FUNCTIONS : A function is said to be homogeneous with respect to any set of variables when each of its terms is of the same degree with respect to those variables. For example 5 x^2 + 3 y^2 − xy is homogeneous in x & y. Symbolically if , f (tx , ty) = tn^. f (x , y) then f (x , y) is homogeneous function of degree n. 10. BOUNDED FUNCTION : A function is said to be bounded if f(x) ≤ M , where M is a finite quantity. 11. IMPLICIT & EXPLICIT FUNCTION : A function defined by an equation not solved for the dependent variable is called an IMPLICIT FUNCTION. For eg. the equation x^3 + y^3 = 1 defines y as an implicit function. If y has been expressed in terms of x alone then it is called an EXPLICIT FUNCTION. 12. INVERSE OF A FUNCTION : Let f : A → B be a one−one & onto function, then their exists a unique function g : B → A such that f(x) = y ⇔ g(y) = x, ∀ x ∈ A & y ∈ B. Then g is said to be inverse of f. Thus g = f−^1 : B → A = {(f(x), x) (x, f(x)) ∈ f}. PROPERTIES OF INVERSE FUNCTION : (i) The inverse of a bijection is unique. (ii) If f : A → B is a bijection & g : B → A is the inverse of f, then fog = IB and gof = IA , where IA & IB are identity functions on the sets A & B respectively. Note that the graphs of f & g are the mirror images of each other in the line y = x. As shown in the figure given below a point (x ',y ' ) corresponding to y = x^2 (x >0) changes to (y ',x ' ) corresponding to (^) y = + x, the changed form of x = y.
(iii) The inverse of a bijection is also a bijection. (iv) If f & g two bijections f : A → B , g : B → C then the inverse of gof exists and (gof)−^1 = f−^1 o g−^1
13. ODD & EVEN FUNCTIONS : If f (−x) = f (x) for all x in the domain of ‘f’ then f is said to be an even function. e.g. f (x) = cos x ; g (x) = x² + 3. If f (−x) = −f (x) for all x in the domain of ‘f’ then f is said to be an odd function. e.g. f (x) = sin x ; g (x) = x^3 + x. NOTE : (a) f (x) − f (−x) = 0 => f (x) is even & f (x) + f (−x) = 0 => f (x) is odd. (b) A function may neither be odd nor even. (c) Inverse of an even function is not defined (d) Every even function is symmetric about the y−axis & every odd function is symmetric about the origin.
(e) Every function can be expressed as the sum of an even & an odd function.
e.g. f x
f x f x f x f x ( )
(f) only function which is defined on the entire number line & is even and odd at the same time is f(x)= 0. (g) If f and g both are even or both are odd then the function f.g will be even but if any one of them is odd then f.g will be odd.
14. PERIODIC FUNCTION : A function f(x) is called periodic if there exists a positive number T (T > 0) called the period of the function such that f (x + T) = f(x), for all values of x within the domain of x e.g. The function sin x & cos x both are periodic over 2π & tan x is periodic over π NOTE : (a) f (T) = f (0) = f (−T) , where ‘T’ is the period. (b) Inverse of a periodic function does not exist .www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com (c) Every constant function is always periodic, with no fundamental period.
(d) If f (x) has a period T & g (x) also has a period T then it does not mean that f (x) + g (x) must have a period T. e.g. f (x) = sinx + cosx.
(e) If f(x) has a period p, then 1 f x( )

THINGS TO REMEMBER :
1. Limit of a function f(x) is said to exist as, x→a when Limit x → a− f(x) = Limit x → a+ f(x) = finite quantity.. 2. FUNDAMENTAL THEOREMS ON LIMITS :
Let Limit x → a f (x) = l & Limit x →a g (x) = m. If l & m exists then :

(v) Limit x → a f [g(x)] = f (^) ^ Limit g x x →a

For example Limit x → a l n (f(x) = l n Limit f x x →a ^

(CONTINUITY) THINGS TO REMEMBER :
1. A funct ion f(x) is said to be co ntinuous at x = c, if x c
Limit →
f(x) = f(c). Symbolically
f is continuous at x = c if h 0
Limit →
f(c - h) = h 0
Limit →
f(c+h) = f(c). i.e. LHL at x = c = RHL at x = c equals Value of ‘f’ at x = c. It should be noted that continuity of a function at x = a is meaningful only if the function is defined in the immediate neighbourhood of x = a, not necessarily at x = a.
2. Reasons of discontinuity: www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com (i) x c
Limit →
f(x) does not exist
i.e. (^) − x →c
Limit f(x) ≠ (^) + x →c
Limit f (x)
(ii) f(x) is not defined at x= c (iii) x c
Limit →
f(x) ≠ f (c) Geometrically, the graph of the function will exhibit a break at x= c. The graph as shown is discontinuous at x = 1 , 2 and 3.
3. Types of Discontinuities : Type - 1: ( Removable type of discontinuities) In case x c
Limit →
f(x) exists but is not equal to f(c) then the function is said to have a removable discontinuity
or discontinuity of the first kind. In this case we can redefine the function such that x c
Limit →
f(x) = f(c) &
make it continuous at x= c. Removable type of discontinuity can be further classified as : (a) MISSING POI NT DISCO NTIN UITY : Where x a
Limit →
f(x) exists finitely but f(a) is no t defined.
e.g. f(x) =
( 1 x)( 9 x^2 ) −
− − has a missing point discontinuity at x = 1 , and f(x) = sin^ x x
has a missing point
discontinuity at x = 0
(b) ISOLATED POINT DISCONTINUITY : Where x a
Limit →
f(x) exists & f(a) also exists but ; x a
Limit →
≠ f(a). e.g. f(x)
x 4
x^216 −
, x ≠ 4 & f (4) = 9 has an isolated point discontinuity at x = 4.
Similarly f(x) = [x] + [ –x] =
0
1
if x I
if x I
∈
− ∉
has an isolated point discontinuity at all x^ ∈^ I.
Type-2: ( Non - Removable type of discontinuities) In case x c
Limit →
f(x) does not exist then it is not possible to make the function continuous by redefining it.
Such discontinuities are known as non - removable discontinuity oR discontinuity of the 2nd kind. Non-removable type of discontinuity can be further classified as :
(a) Finite discontinuity e.g. f(x) = x − [x] at all integral x ; f(x) = tan−^1
1 x
at x = 0 and f(x) = x
1 12
1
at x = 0 (
note that f(0+) = 0 ; f(0–) = 1 )
(b) Infinite discontinuity e.g. f(x) =
x − 4
or g(x) =
( x − 4 )^2
at x = 4 ; f(x) = 2tanx^ at x =
π 2
and f(x) =
cosx x
at
x = 0.
(c) Oscillatory discontinuity e.g. f(x) = sin x
(^1) at x = 0.
In all these cases the value of f(a) of the function at x= a (point of discontinuity) may or may not exist but
x a
Limit →
does not exist.
Note: From the adjacent graph note that
Further, if g (c) is not zero, thenF 4 (x) =
f x g x
( ) ( ) is also continuous atx= c.
7. The intermediate value theorem: Suppose f(x) is continuous on an interval I , and a and b are any two points of I. Then if y 0 is a number between f(a) and f(b) , their exists a number c between a and b such that f(c) = y 0. NOT E VE RY CAREFULLY THAT : www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com (a) If f(x) is continuous & g(x) is discontinuous at x = a then the product function φ(x) = f(x).^ g(x)
is not necessarily be discontinuous at x = a. e.g. f(x) = x & g(x) = sin π x x x
0 0 0
(b) If f(x) and g(x) both are discontinuous at x = a then the product function φ(x) = f(x).^ g(x) is not necessarily
be discontinuous at x = a. e.g.f(x) = − g(x) =
1 0 1 0
x x
≥ − <
(c) Point functions are to be treated as discontinuous. eg. f(x) = 1 − x + x− 1 is not continuous at x = 1.
(d) A Continuous function whose domain is closed must have a range also in closed interval. (e) If f is continuous at x = c & g is continuous at x = f(c) then the composite g[f(x)] is continuous at x = c. eg.
f(x) =
x x x
sin (^2) + 2 & g(x) =^ x^ are continuous at x = 0 , hence the composite (gof) (x) =^
x x x
sin (^2) + 2 will also be
continuous at x = 0 .www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com
7. CONTINUITY IN AN INTERVAL : (a) A function f is said to be continuous in (a , b) if f is continuous at each & every point ∈(a,b).
(i) f is continuous in the open interval (a , b) &
(ii) f is right continuous at ‘a’ i.e. Limitx →a+^ f(x) = f(a) = a finite quantity..
(iii) f is left continuous at ‘b’ i.e. Limitx →b−^ f(x) = f(b) = a finite quantity..
(i) If f(a) & f(b) possess opposite signs, then there exists at least one solution of the equation f(x) = 0 in the
open interval (a , b). (ii) If K is any real number between f(a) & f(b), then there exists at least one solution of the equation f(x) = K in the open inetrval (a , b).
8. SINGLE POINT CONTINUITY: Functions which are continuous only at one point are said to exhibit single point continuity
eeee. g. g. g. g .... ffff (((( xxxx )))) ==== x if x Q x if x Q
∈ − ∉
and g(x) =
x if x Q if x Q
∈ 0 ∉ are both continuous only at x = 0.
DIFFERENTIABILITY THINGS TO REMEMBER :
1. Right hand & Left hand Derivatives ; By definition:
f ′(a) = Limith → 0 h
f (a+ h)−f(a ) if it exist
(i) The right hand derivative of f ′ at x = a denoted by f ′(a+) is defined by :
f ' (a+) = Limith → 0 + h
f (a+ h)−f(a ) ,
provided the limit exists & is finite.www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com (ii) The left hand derivative : of f at x = a denoted by
f ′(a+) is defined by : f ' (a–) = Limith → 0 + h
f(a h) f(a ) −
, Provided the limit exists & is finite.
We also write f ′(a+) = f ′ + (a) & f ′(a–) = f ′_(a).
(iii) Derivability & Continuity : (a) If f ′(a) exists then f(x) is derivable at x= a f(x) is continuous at x = a. (b) If a function f is derivable at x then f is continuous at x.
For : f ′(x) = Limith → 0 h
f (x+ h)−f(x ) exists.
Also .h[h 0 ] h
f(x h) f(x ) f (x h) f(x) ≠
Therefore : [f (x+ h)−f(x)]= Limith → (^0) h .h f'(x).^00
f (x h) f(x ) = =
Therefore Limith → 0 [f (x+ h)−f(x)]= 0 Limith → 0 f (x+h) = f(x) f is continuous at x. Note : If f(x) is derivable for every point of its domain of definition, then it is continuous in that domain. The Converse of the above result is not true : “ IF f IS CONTINUOUS AT x , THEN f IS DERIVABLE AT x ” IS NOT TRUE.
e.g. t he functions f(x) = x & g(x) = x sin x
(^1) ; x ≠ 0 & g(0) = 0 are continuous at
x = 0 but not derivable at x = 0. NOTE CAREFULLY : (a) Let f ′+(a) = p & f ′_(a) = q where p & q are finite then : (i) p = q f is derivable at x = a f is continuous at x = a. (ii) p ≠ q f is not derivable at x = a. It is very important to note that f may be still continuous at x = a.

13. APPLICATION OF DERIVATIVE (AOD). TANGENT & NORMAL
THINGS TO REMEMBER : I The value of the derivative at P (x 1 , y 1 ) gives the slope of the tangent to the curve at P. Symbolically
f′ (x 1 ) = d x x 1 y 1
dy = Slope of tangent at P (x 1 y 1 ) = m (say).
II Equation of tangent at (x 1 , y 1 ) is ; y − y 1 = dy dx (^) x 1 y 1 (x^ −^ x^1 ).
III Equation of normal at (x 1 , y 1 ) is ; y − y 1 = − 1
1 1
d y d x (^) x y
(x − x 1 ).
NOTE : www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com
1. The point P (x 1 , y 1 ) will satisfy the equation of the curve & the eqation of tangent & normal line. 2. If the tangent at any point P on the curve is // to the axis of x then dy/dx = 0 at the point P. 3. If the tangent at any point on the curve is parallel to the axis of y, then dy/dx = ∞ or dx/dy = 0. 4. If the tangent at any point on the curve is equally inclined to both the axes then dy/dx = ± 1. 5. If the tangent at any point makes equal intercept on the coordinate axes then dy/dx = – 1. 6. Tangent to a curve at the point P (x 1 , y 1 ) can be drawn even through dy/dx at P does not exist. e.g. x = 0 is a tangent to y = x2/3^ at (0, 0). 7. If a curve passing through the origin be given by a rational integral algebraic equation, the equation of the tangent (or tangents) at the origin is obtained by equating to zero the terms of the lowest degree in the equation. e.g. If the equation of a curve be x^2 – y^2 + x^3 + 3 x^2 y − y^3 = 0, the tangents at the origin are given by x^2 – y^2 = 0 i.e. x + y = 0 and x − y = 0. IV Angle of intersection between two curves is defined as the angle between the 2 tangents drawn to the 2 curves at their point of intersection. If the angle between two curves is 90° every where then they are called ORTHOGONAL curves.

The differential of a function is equal to its derivative multiplied by the differential of the independent variable. Thus if, y = tan x then dy = sec^2 x dx. In general dy = f ′ (x) d x. Note that : d (c) = 0 where 'c' is a constant. d (u + v − w) = du + dv − dw d (u v) = u d v + v d u Note :
1. For the independent variable 'x' , increment ∆ x and differential d x are equal but this is not the case with the dependent variable 'y' i.e. ∆ y ≠ d y. 2. The relation d y = f ′ (x) d x can be written as dx
dy = f ′ (x) ; thus the quotient of the differentials of 'y' and
'x' is equal to the derivative of 'y' w.r.t. 'x'.
MONOTONOCITY (Significance of the sign of the first order derivative) DEFINITIONS :
1. A function f (x) is called an Increasing Function at a point x = a if in a sufficiently small neighbourhood
around x = a we have
f a h f a and f a h f a
( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
increasing;
Similarly decreasing if
f a h f a and f a h f a
( ) ( ) ( ) ( )
decreasing.
2. A differentiable function is called increasing in an interval (a, b) if it is increasing at every point within the interval (but not necessarily at the end points). A function decreasing in an interval (a, b) is similarly defined.www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com 3. A function which in a given interval is increasing or decreasing is called “Monotonic” in that interval. 4. Tests for increasing and decreasing of a function at a point : If the derivative f ′(x) is positive at a point x = a, then the function f (x) at this point is increasing. If it is negative, then the function is decreasing. Even if f ' (a) is not defined, f can still be increasing or decreasing.
Note : If f ′(a) = 0, then for x = a the function may be still increasing or it may be decreasing as shown. It has to be identified by a seperate rule. e.g. f (x) = x^3 is increasing at every point. Note that, dy/dx = 3 x².
5. Tests for Increasing & Decreasing of a function in an interval : SUFFICIENCY TEST : If the derivative function f ′(x) in an interval (a , b) is every where positive, then the function f (x) in this interval is Increasing ;www.MathsBySuhag.com , www.TekoClasses.com If f ′(x) is every where negative, then f (x) is Decreasing.
General Note : (1) If a function is invertible it has to be either increasing or decreasing. (2) If a function is continuous the intervals in which it rises and falls may be separated by points at which its derivative fails to exist. (3) If f is increasing in [a, b] and is continuous then f (b) is the greatest and f (c) is the least value of f in [a, b]. Similarly if f is decreasing in [a, b] then f (a) is the greatest value and f (b) is the least value.
6. (a) ROLLE'S THEOREM : Let f(x) be a function of x subject to the following conditions : (i) f(x) is a continuous function of x in the closed interval of a ≤ x ≤ b. (ii) f ′ (x) exists for every point in the open interval a < x < b. (iii) f (a) = f (b). Then there exists at least one point x = c such that a
