MATRICES
DEFINITIONS:
MATRIX: A set of elements arranged in a rectangular array having m rows and n columns ,
the numbers being enclosed by brackets [ ] or ( ) is called m x n matrix(read as “m by n matrix).
REAL MATRIX: A matrix is said to be real if all its elements are real numbers.
SQUARE MATRIX: A matrix in which the number of rows and columns are equal is called a
square matrix , otherwise it is called as rectangular matrix.
ROW MATRIX: A matrix having only one row and any number of columns (i.e. a matrix of
order 1 x n) is called a row matrix.
Eg. A=(7 3 4 1) is a row matrix.
COLUMN MATRIX: A matrix having only one column and any number of rows (i.e. a matrix
of order m x 1) is called a column matrix.
2
Eg: B= is a column matrix.
NULL MATRIX: A matrix in which each elements is zero is called a null matrix or a zero
matrix.
DIAGONAL MATRIX: A square matrix in which all non-diagonal elements are zero is called a
diagonal matrix. Thus, A= is a diagonal matrix if for i≠j.
UNIT MATRIX OR IDENTITY MATRIX: A square matrix in which all the leading diagonal
elements are zero and all diagonal elements are equal to 1 is called as unit matrix.
Eg: ; .
UPPER TRIANGULAR MATRIX: A square matrix in which all the elements below the
principal diagonal are zero is called an upper triangular matrix.
Eg: ; .
LOWER TRIANGULAR MATRIX: A square matrix in which all the elements above the
principal diagonal are zero is called anlowertriangular matrix.

Definitions
To everysquare matrix A of order n with entries as real (or) Complex numbers, we can
associate a number Called determinant of matrix A and it is denoted |A| (or) det (A) (or)
Example(1):
Thus determinant formed by the elements of A is said to be the determinant of matrix A.
VECTOR ALGEBRA
CLASSIFICATION OF VECTOR:
ZERO OR NULL VECTOR:
A vector whose initial and terminal points are coincident is called a zero or null vector .
the zero vector is denoted by
5
UNIT VECTOR:
A vector whose modulus is unity is called a unit vector
The vector which has the same magnitude as that of but opposite direction is
called the negative of
RECIPROCAL OF A VECTOR:
Let be a non zero vector the vector which has the same direction as that of
but has magnitude reciprocal to that of is called the reciprocal of
FREE AND LOCALISED VECTOR:
When we are at liberty to choose the origin of the vector at any point then it is
said to be a free vector. When it is restricted to a certain specified point then the vector is said to
be a localized vector.
Let and be any two points in XOY Plane. Let and be unit
vectors along OX and OY respectively.
DIRECTION COSINES:
6
DIRECTION RATIOS:
Any three numbers proportional to direction cosines of a vector are called its direction ratio’s.
PARTIAL FRACTIONS
PROPER FRACTION:
A proper fraction is one in which the degree of the numerator is less than the degree of
the denominator.
Example (2):
IMPROPER FRACTION
7
An improper fraction is a fraction in which the degree of the numerator is greater than or
equal to the degree of the denominator.
Examples (3):
associate a simple fraction , where A is a constant (A≠0). When the factors of the
denominator of the given fraction one all linear factor none of which is repeated, we write the
Partial fraction as follows.
Example (4):
If a quadratic factor a +bx+c which is not factorable in to liner factors occurs only
once as a factor of the denominator of the given fraction ,then corresponding to this factor
associate a partial fraction where A and B are constants which are not both zeros
8
The first factor of the denominator x+1 is of first degree, so we assume its numerator as a
constant A. The second factor of the denominator +1 is second degree and which is not
factorable into linear factors. We assume its numerator as a general first degree expression
Bx+C.
Example (5):
An ordered set of real numbers a1, a2, an is called a sequence and is denoted by (an).
If the number at terms is unlimited then the sequence is said to be an infinite sequence.
9
A sequence is a function from the set of natural numbers to the set of real numbers.
“A sequence is represented by its range”
Example:
Arithmetic Progression: An arithmetic progression (abbreviated as A.P) is a sequence of
numbers in which each term, except the first, is obtained by adding a fixed number to the immediately
preceding term. This fixed number is called the common difference, which is generally denoted by d.
The general form of a G.P. is a, ar, ar2, …, with a ≠0 and r ≠0, the first term is ‘a’
1 1 1
The general form of H.P. is , , , , where a ≠0.
a a d a 2d
1 1 1
For example the sequences 1, , , , is a H.P., since their reciprocals 1, 5, 9, 13, …, are in A.P.

Limit:
A sequence is said to tend to a limit l if for every > 0 a value N of n can be found such
that an l for n N
Convergence:
If a sequence (an) has a finite limit, it is called a convergent sequence. If (an) is not
convergent it is said to be divergent.
Bounded sequence:
A sequence (an) is said to be bounded if there exists a number k, such that an < k for every
n.
Monotone sequence:
10
The sequence (an) is said to increase steadily or to decrease steadily according as
an1 an or an1 an for all a values of n. Both increasing and decreasing sequence are called
monotonic sequence.
Convergent:
A monotonic sequence always tends to a limit, finite or infinite. Thus a sequence which is
monotonic and bounded is convergent.
Series:
Example:
Exponential series:
x 2 x3 x 4
Logarithmic series: log 1 x x

Analytical Geometry
Fundamentals:
‘Geometry’ is the study of points, lines, curves, surfaces etc and their properties.
11
The founder of Analytical Geometry (also called as Cartesian Geometry, from the latinized form
of his name Cartesius).
Basic concepts:
The distance between two points in the plane is the length of the line segment joining the
two points.
If the points have Cartesian coordinates (x1, y1) and (x2, y2)
d x1 x2 y1 y2
2 2
If the points have polar coordinates (r1, 1) and (r2, 2)
Straight Lines:
A straight line is the simplest geometrical curve. Every straight line is associated with an
equation. To determine the equation of a straight line, two conditions are required.
(1) Slope-intercept form:
i.e. y mx c where ‘m’ is the slope of the straight line and ‘c’ is the y intercept.
i.e. y y1 m x x1 where ‘m’ is the slope and ‘(x1, y1)’ is the given point.
y y1 x x1
i.e. where (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) are the given point.
y2 y1 x2 x1
x y
i.e. 1 where ‘a’ and ‘b’ are x and y intercepts respectively.
a b
Normal form:
Equation of a straight line in terms of the length of the perpendicular p from the origin to
the line and the angle α which the perpendicular makes with x-axis.
The General form:
12
The equation ax by c 0 will always represent a straight line.
Parametric form:
If two variables, say x and y, are functions of a third variable, say ‘θ’, then the functions
expressing x and y in terms of θ are called the parametric representations of x and y. The variable
θ is called the parameter of the function.
Parallel Lines:
Trigonometry
Introduction:
Trigonometry is one of the oldest branches of Mathematics. The word trigonometry
means “triangle measurement”. The study of angles and of the angular relationships of planar
13
and three-dimensional figures is known as trigonometry. The trigonometric functions (also called
the circular functions) comprising trigonometry are cosecant csc x, cosine cos x, cotangent cot x,
secant sec x, sine sin x, tangent tan x.

Solution: Given
The discriminant of the equation is
=8 – 4 = 4 > 0
and a perfect square, so roots are real and different but we can’t say that roots are rational
because co-efficients are not rational. (This is irrational)

THEORY OF LIMITS:
Domain and Range of a Function: Let A and B be any two sets and let f denotes a rule
which associates to each member of A a member of B. We say that f is a function from A into B.
Also A is said to be Domain of this function. If x denotes a member of the set A, then the
member of the set B, which the function f associates to x ∈ A, is denoted by f (x) called the value
of the function f for x or at x. The function may be described as x → f (x), or y = f (x) where x ∈
A and y ∈ B. Range of f = {f (x) : x ∈ A}.
Limit: Let the function y = f (x) be defined in a certain neighbourhood of a point a or at certain
points of this neighbourhood. The function y = f (x) approaches the limit b(y → b) as x
approaches a(x → a), if for every positive number ε, no matter how small, it is possible to
indicate a positive number δ such that for all x, different from a and satisfying |x − a| < δ, we
have |f (x) − b| < ε. If b is the limit of the function f (x) as x → a, we write .

18
If f (x) approaches the limit b1 as x takes on only values less than ‘a’ we write ,
then b1 is called the limit on the left at the point ‘a’ of the function.
If x takes on only values greater than a, we write , then b2 is called the limit on
the right at the point ‘a’ of the function.
If the limit on the right and the limit on the left exist and equal, that is, b1 = b2 = b, then b will be
the limit of f (x) at point ‘a’.
2. A rational function , where f(x) and g(x) are polynomial functions,are continuous
everywhere except at x=c where g(c)=0.
19
Example 4: If for what values of x is f continuous?
f is obviously continuous for all x<1 or x>1. Is f continuous at x=1?
Differentiability:
20
It is a theorem from calculus that if f is differential at x=a, then f is continuous at x=a.
The contrapositive of this theorem states that if f is not continuous at x=a, then f is not
differentible at x=a. Thus , f is not differentiable x=a if:
i. f is not continuous at x=a; or
ii. f has a “corner point “ at x=a(f is continuous at x=a but left-hand derivative is not
equal to right-hand derivative); or
iii. f has a vertical tangent line at x=a.
Some statements:
1. Let the function f (x) be continuous at x = a and let c be a constant. Then the function
cf (x) is also continuous at x = a.
2. Let the functions f (x) and g(x) be continuous at x = a. Then the sum of the functions
f (x) + g(x) is also continuous at x = a.
3. Let the functions f (x) and g(x) be continuous at x = a. Then the product of the functions
f (x)g(x) is also continuous at x = a.
4. Let the functions f (x) and g(x) be continuous at x = a. Then the quotient of the functions
f (x) is also continuous at x = a.
5. Let f (x) be differentiable at the point x = a. Then the function f (x) is continuous at that
point. But the converse is not true.
6. If a function f(x) is continuous in a closed interval [a, b] with f(a) = A and f(b) = B where
A ≠ B, then f(x) takes every value between A and B at least once. (The Intermediate
Value Theorem).
7. A function that is continuous in a closed interval is bounded there.
8. A function that is continuous in a closed interval attains maximum and minimum values
in the interval
TECHNIQUES OF DIFFERENTIATION:
Partial derivatives:
First order partial derivatives:
Let u=f(x,y) be a function of two independent variables. Differentiating u with respect to x
keeping y as a constant is known as the partial differential coefficient of ‘u’ with respect to ‘x’. it is
denoted by .
21
If we differentiate u with respect to ‘y’ keeping ‘x’ constant is known as the partial differential
Let u=f(x,y) be a function of two variables x and y. then and represent the first partial
derivatives of u with respect to x and y. here both and are again a function of x and y. here each
of these partial derivatives may be differentiated with respect to x and y and it is denoted by

LINEAR DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS:

A DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS is said to be linear if the dependent variable
and its differentiation coefficients occur only in the first degree and not multiplied together.
Equations in which and occur other than in the first degree are called non
