In Chemistry
One daily activity where surface area is of good consideration is in
heating or cooking. Suppose you are going to boil some water. You have
two containers: one that is short but wide (like a pan) and another that is
high but narrow (like a boiling pot). In which container would water boil
faster? The answer is the first pan. The reason is surface area. The wider
the container, the faster is the boiling.
In guitars, different volumes of guitars basically create different
amplitudes of sound.
Surface area is important in chemical kinetics. Increasing the surface
area of a substance generally increases the rate of a chemical reaction.
For example, iron as fine powder will combust, while as solid blocks it is
stable enough to use in structures.
In Biology
The surface area of an organism is important in several body functions,
such as regulation of body temperature and digestion. Animals use their
teeth to grind food down into smaller particles, increasing the surface
area available for digestion.
Elephants have large ears, allowing them to regulate their own body
temperature.
In other instances, animals will need to minimize surface area; for
example, people will fold their arms over their chest when cold to

minimize heat loss.
Factorization
The flowchart below illustrates a sequence of steps for factorization
of polynomials.
First, always factor out the Greatest Common Factor (GCF), if one exists.
Four or More
Special Cases?

Binomial Trinomial
(Two terms) (Three terms) Factor by Grouping:
1. Group the terms
with common
factors and factor
1. Difference of Squares: Perfect Square Trinomial: out the GCF from
a2 – b2 = (a – b) (a + b) 1. x2 + 2xy + y2 = (x + y)2 each grouping.
2. Sum of Squares: 2. x2 – 2xy + y2 = (x – y)2 2. Continue
a2 + b2 - can not be further factorising by
3. FYI: A Sum of Squares can be
factorized (in real numbers) looking for Special
factorised by using imaginary
numbers if you rewrite it as a cases, grouping,
3. Difference of Cubes:
Difference of etc.- until the
a3 – b3 = (a – b)(a2 + ab + b2)
Squares: a2 + b2 = expression is in
4. Sum of Cubes: simplest form (or all
a3 + b3 = (a + b)(a2 – ab + b2) [a2 – (–b2)] = factors are Prime).
[a – (b –1)][a + (b –1)] =

Always Positive 3. Use the Quadratic methods. However, doing so will provide
Formula smaller coefficients to work with.
Examples Based on Factorization Techniques
Grouping
x3 – 3x2 – 4x + 12 = x2(x – 3) – 4(x – 3)
= (x2 – 4)(x – 3)
= (x + 2)(x – 2)(x – 3)

Most Common Identities Used in Factorization
1. (x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2
2. (x – y)2 = x2 – 2xy + y2
3. x2 – y2 = (x – y) (x + y)
4. (x + a) (x + b) = x2 + (a + b)x + ab
6. (x + y)3 = x3 + y3 + 3xy (x + y)
7. (x – y)3 = x3 – y3 – 3xy (x – y)
8. x3 + y3 + z3 – 3xyz = (x + y + z)(x2 + y2 + z2 – xy – yz – zx)
x3 + y3 + z3 = 3xyz if x + y + z = 0

The Himalayas
These are the loftiest mountain ranges in South Asia which separates
the plains of Indian Subcontinent and the Tibetan Plateau.
Formation of Himalayas
The subduction of Indo-Australian Plate/ Indian Plate under the
Eurasian Plate led to the subsiding of the crust and upliftment of
the geosynchline of the Tethys sea leading to the formation of the
Himalayas. It is the Young fold mountain. It ranges from Nanga Parbat
in the West to Namcha Barwa in the East.

MAT Tricks
A. Clock
It is 4 hrs 40 min in a clock. Find the angle between the hour and minute
hands of a clock.
Method 1
1 Division = 30º
So, 4 division = 30º × 4 = 120º
But, the hour hand has already
coverd the distance for 40 min.
30°
From 4, so the angle covered in 30
these ° 3 0°
30° 30°
1
40 min = × 40 = 20º
2
Now, the angle between both hands = 120º – 20º = 100º
Method 2
(11 m – 60 h) (11 × 40 – 60 × 4)
Angle = =
