Set
A set is a well-defined collection of objects.
Representation of Sets
There are two methods of representing a set
Roster or Tabular form In the roster form, we list all the members of the set within braces { } and separate by commas.
Set-builder form In the set-builder form, we list the property or properties satisfied by all the elements of the sets.
Note:
Intervals as Subsets of R
Let a and b be two given real numbers such that a < b, then
an open interval denoted by (a, b) is the set of real numbers {x : a < x < b}.
a closed interval denoted by [a, b] is the set of real numbers {x : a ≤ x ≤ b}.
intervals closed at one end and open at the others are known as semi-open or semi-closed interval and denoted by (a, b] is the
set of real numbers {x : a < x ≤ b} or [a, b) is the set of real numbers {x : a ≤ x < b}.
Power Set
The collection of all subsets of a set A is called the power set of A. It is denoted by P(A). If the number of elements in A i.e. n(A) = n,
then the number of elements in P(A) = 2n.
Universal Set
A set that contains all sets in a given context is called the universal set.
Venn-Diagrams
Venn diagrams are the diagrams, which represent the relationship between sets. In Venn-diagrams the universal set U is represented
by point within a rectangle and its subsets are represented by points in closed curves (usually circles) within the rectangle.
Operations of Sets
Union of sets: The union of two sets A and B, denoted by A ∪ B is the set of all those elements which are either in A or in B or in both A
and B. Thus, A ∪ B = {x : x ∈ A or x ∈ B}.
Intersection of sets: The intersection of two sets A and B, denoted by A ∩ B, is the set of all elements which are common to both A
and B.
Thus, A ∩ B = {x : x ∈ A and x ∈ B}
Disjoint sets: Two sets Aand Bare said to be disjoint, if A ∩ B = Φ.
Intersecting or Overlapping sets: Two sets A and B are said to be intersecting or overlapping if A ∩ B ≠ Φ
Difference of sets: For any sets A and B, their difference (A – B) is defined as a set of elements, which belong to A but not to B.
Thus, A – B = {x : x ∈ A and x ∉ B}
also, B – A = {x : x ∈ B and x ∉ A}
Complement of a set: Let U be the universal set and A is a subset of U. Then, the complement of A is the set of all elements of U
which are not the element of A.
Thus, A’ = U – A = {x : x ∈ U and x ∉ A}
A ∪ A’ = ∪
A ∩ A’ = Φ
∪’ = Φ
Φ’ = ∪
(A’)’ = A
Symmetric difference of two sets: For any set A and B, their symmetric difference (A – B) ∪ (B – A)
(A – B) ∪ (B – A) defined as set of elements which do not belong to both A and B.
It is denoted by A ∆ B.
Thus, A ∆ B = (A – B) ∪ (B – A) = {x : x ∉ A ∩ B}.
A∪A=A
A∩A=A
A∪Φ=A
A∩U=A
A∪B=B∪A
A∩B=B∩A
A ∪ (B ∪ C) = (A ∪ B) ∪ C
A ∩ (B ∩ C) = (A ∩ B) ∩ C
A ∪ (B ∩ C) = (A ∪ B) ∩ (A ∪ C)
A ∩ (B ∪ C) = (A ∩ B) ∪ (A ∩ C)
(A ∪ B)’ = A’ ∩ B’
(A ∩ B)’ = A’ ∪ B’
Formulae to Solve Practical Problems on Union and Intersection of Two Sets
Let A, B and C be any three finite sets, then
Ordered Pair
An ordered pair consists of two objects or elements in a given fixed order.
Note:
A×B≠B×A
If n(A) = m and n(B) = n, then n(A × B) = mn and n(B × A) = mn
If atieast one of A and B is infinite, then (A × B) is infinite and (B × A) is infinite.
Relations
A relation R from a non-empty set A to a non-empty set B is a subset of the cartesian product set A × B. The subset is derived by
describing a relationship between the first element and the second element of the ordered pairs in A × B.
The set of all first elements in a relation R is called the domain of the relation B, and the set of all second elements called images is
called the range of R.
Note:
A relation may be represented either by the Roster form or by the set of builder form, or by an arrow diagram which is a visual
representation of relation.
If n(A) = m, n(B) = n, then n(A × B) = mn and the total number of possible relations from set A to set B = 2 mn
Inverse of Relation
For any two non-empty sets A and B. Let R be a relation from a set A to a set B. Then, the inverse of relation R, denoted by R -1 is a
relation from B to A and it is defined by
R-1 ={(b, a) : (a, b) ∈ R}
Domain of R = Range of R-1 and
Range of R = Domain of R-1.
Functions
A relation f from a set A to set B is said to be function, if every element of set A has one and only image in set B.
In other words, a function f is a relation such that no two pairs in the relation have the first element.
Real-Valued Function
A function f : A → B is called a real-valued function if B is a subset of R (set of all real numbers). If A and B both are subsets of R, then f
is called a real function.
Constant function: The function f : R → R defined by f(x) = C, x ∈ R, where C is a constant ∈ R, is called a constant function.
Domain of f = R; Range of f = C
Polynomial function: A real valued function f : R → R defined by f(x) = a0 + a1x + a2x2+…+ anxn, where n ∈ N and a0, a1, a2,…….. an ∈ R
for each x ∈ R, is called polynomial function.
Rational function: These are the real function of type f(x)g(x), where f(x)and g(x)are polynomial functions of x defined in a domain,
where g(x) ≠ 0.
The modulus function: The real function f : R → R defined by f(x) = |x|
or
Greatest integer function: The real function f : R → R defined by f (x) = {x}, x ∈ R assumes that the values of the greatest integer less
than or equal to x, is called the greatest integer function.
Domain of f = R; Range of f = Integer
Fractional part function: The real function f : R → R defined by f(x) = {x}, x ∈ R is called the fractional part function.
f(x) = {x} = x – [x] for all x ∈R
Domain of f = R; Range of f = [0, 1)
Subtraction of a real function from another: Let f : X → R and g : X → R be any two real functions, where X ⊆ R. Then, we define (f
– g) : X → R by (f – g) (x) = f (x) – g(x), for all x ∈ X.
Multiplication by a scalar: Let f : X → R be a real function and K be any scalar belonging to R. Then, the product of Kf is function from
X to R defined by (Kf)(x) = Kf(x) for all x ∈ X.
Multiplication of two real functions: Let f : X → R and g : X → R be any two real functions, wher
where X ⊆ R. Then, product of these two
functions i.e. f.g : X → R is defined by (fg) x = f(x) . g(x) ∀ x ∈ X.
Quotient of two real functions: Let f and g be two real functions defined from X → R. The quotient of f by g denoted by fg is a function
defined from X → R as
Trigonometric Functions
Angle
Angle is a measure of rotation of a given ray about its initial point. The original ray is called the initial side and the final
fi position of ray
after rotation is called terminal side of the angle. The point of rotation is called vertex. If the direction of rotation is anti-clockwise,
anti the
angle is said to be positive and if the direction of rotation is clockwise, then the angle is negative.
Measuring Angles
There are two systems of measuring angles
Sexagesimal system (degree measure): If a rotation from the initial side to terminal side is (1360)th of a revolution, the angle is said to
have a measure of one degree, written as 1°.
One sixtieth of a degree is called a minute, written as 1′ and one-sixtieth of a minute is called a second, written as 1″
Thus, 1° = 60′ and 1′ = 60″
Circular system (radian measure): A radian is an angle subtended at the centre of a circle by an arc, whose length is equal to the
radius of the circle. We denote 1 radian by 1°.

sin x – sin y = 2 cos(x+y2) sin(x−y2)
cos x + cos y = 2 cos(x+y2) cos(x−y2)
cos x – cos y = -2 sin(x+y2) sin(x−y2)
Trigonometric Ratios of Multiple Angles
Principal Solution
The solutions of a trigonometric equation for which 0 ≤ x ≤ 2π are called principal solutions.
General Solutions
A solution of a trigonometric equation, involving ‘n’ which gives al
alll solution of a trigonometric equation is called the general solutions.
In a triangle ABC, the angles are denoted by capital letters A, B and C and the lengths of sides of opposite to these angles are denoted
by small letters a, b and c, respectively.
Sine Rule
sinAa=sinBb=sinCc
Cosine Rule
a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bc cos A
b2 = c2 + a2 – 2ac cos B
c2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab cos C
Projection Rule
a = b cos C + c cos B
b = c cos A + a cos C
c = a cos B + b cos A
Let P(n) be given statement involving the natural number n such that
(i) The statement is true for n = 1, i.e. P(1) is true.
(ii) If the statement is true for n = k (where k is a particular but arbitrary natural number), then the statement is also true for n = k + 1 i.e.
truth of P(k) implies that the truth of P(k + 1). Then, P(n) is true for all natural numbers n.
Note:
For any two real numbers a and b, the result √a × √b : √ab is true only, when atleast one of the given numbers i.e. either zero or
positive.
√-a × √-b ≠ √ab
So, i2 = √-1 × √-1 ≠ 1
‘i’ is neither positive, zero nor negative.
in + in+1 + in+2 + in+3 = 0
Complex Number
A number of the form x + iy, where x and y are real numbers, is called a complex number, x is called real part and y is called imaginary
part of the complex number i.e. Re(Z) = x and Im(Z) = y.
Properties of Addition
Commutative: z1 + z2 = z2 + z1
Associative: z1 + (z2 + z3) = (z1 + z2) + z3
Additive identity z + 0 = z = 0 + z
Here, 0 is additive identity.
Properties of Multiplication
Argand Plane
Any complex number z = x + iy can be represented geometrically by a point (x, y) in a plane, called argand plane or gaussian plane. A
purely number x, i.e. (x + 0i) is represented by the point (x, 0) on XX-axis. Therefore, X-axis
axis is called real axis. A purely
pure imaginary
number iy i.e. (0 + iy) is represented by the point (0, y) on the yy-axis. Therefore, the y-axis
axis is called the imaginary axis.
Argument of z is not unique, general value of the argument of z is 2nπ + θ, but arg(0) is not defined. The unique value of θ such that -π
< θ ≤ π is called the principal value of the amplitude or principal argument.
(ii) Let α, β be the roots of quadratic equation ax2 + bx + c = 0, then sum of roots α + β = −ba and the product of roots αβ = ca.
Linear Inequalities
Inequation
A statement involving variables and the sign of inequalit
inequality viz. >, <, ≥ or ≤ is called an inequation or an inequality.
Numerical Inequalities
Inequalities which do not contain any variable is called numerical inequalities, e.g. 3 < 7, 2 ≥ -1,
1, etc. Literal Inequalities Inequalities
which contains variables are called
lled literal inequalities e.g. x – y > 0, x > 5, etc.
Solution of an Inequality
The value(s) of the variable(s) which makes the inequality a true statement is called its solutions. The set of all solutions of an inequality
is called the solution set of the inequality.
If the inequality involves ‘>’ or ‘<‘ we draw an open circle (O) on the number line, which indicates that the number corresponding to the
open circle is not included in the solution set.
If the inequality involves ‘≥’ or ‘≤’ we draw a dark circle (•) on the number line, which indicates the number corresponding to the dark
circle is included in the solution set.
If the inequality involves ‘<’ or ‘>’, we draw the graph of the line as dotted line to indicate that the points on the line are not included from
the solution sets.
If the inequality involves ‘≥’ or ‘≤’, we draw the graph of the line as a dark line to indicate the points on the line is included from the
solution sets.
Solution of a linear inequality in one variable can be represented on number line as well as in the plane but the solution of a linear
inequality in two variables of the type ax + by > c, ax + by ≥ c,ax + by < c or ax + by ≤ c (a ≠ 0, b ≠ 0) can be represented in the plane
only.
Two or more inequalities taken together comprise a system of inequalities and the solution of the system of inequalities are the solution
common to all the inequalities comprising the system.
Addition Principle: If an operation A can be performed in m ways and another operation S, which is independent of A, can be
performed in n ways, then A and B can performed in (m + n) ways. This can be extended to any finite number of exclusive events.
Factorial
The continued product of first n natural number is called factorial ‘n’.
It is denoted by n! or n! = n(n – 1)(n – 2)… 3 × 2 × 1 and 0! = 1! = 1
Permutation
Each of the different arrangement which can be made by taking some or all of a number of objects is called permutation.
The number of permutation of n objects of which p1 are of one kind, p2 are of second kind,… pk are of kth kind such that p1 + p2 + p3 +
… + pk = n is n!p1!p2!p3!…..pk!
Number of permutation of n different objects taken r at a time
time,
When a particular object is to be included in each arrangement is r. n-1Pr-1
Number of permutation of n different objects taken all at a time when m specified objects never come together is n! – m! (n – m + 1)!.
Combinations
Each of thehe different selections made by taking some or all of a number of objects irrespective of their arrangements is called
combinations. The number of selection of r objects from; the given n objects is denoted by nCr, and is given by b
n
Cr = n!r!(n−r)!

Shifting of Origin
Let the origin is shifted to a point O'(h, k). If P(x, y) are coordinates of a point referred to old axes and P'(X, Y) are the
th coordinates of the
same points referred to new axes, then x = X + h, y = Y + k.
Straight Line
Any curve is said to be a straight line if two points are taken on the curve such that every point on the line segment joining any two
points on it lies on the curve. General equation of a line is ax + by + c = 0.
If two lines are parallel, their slopes are equal i.e. m1 = m2.

Circle
A circle is the set of all points in a plane, which are at a fixed distance from a fixed p
point
oint in the plane. The fixed point is called the centre
of the circle and the distance from centre to any point on the circle is called the radius of the circle
circle.
The equation of a circle with radius r having centre (h, k) is given by (x – h)2 + (y – k)2 = r2.
The general equation of the circle is given by x2 + y2 + 2gx + 2fy + c = 0 , where, g, f and c are constants.
