If every term is added or subtracted by a constant, then the resulting sequence is also an A.P.
In every term is multiplied or divided by a non-zero number, then the resulting sequence is also an A.P.
Three non-zero numbers a, b, c are in A.P. if and only if 2b = a + c or b-a=c-b
6.GEOMETRIC PROGRESSION
A Geometric Progression is a sequence in which each term is obtained by multilplying a fixed
non-zero number to the preceding term except the first term. The fixed number is called common ratio.
The common ratio is usually denoted by r.
When each term of a Geometric Progression is multiplied or divided by a non-zero constant then the
resulting sequence is also a Geometric Progression.
Three non-zero numbers a, b, c are in G.P. if and only if b2 = ac or

3. ALGEBRA
Any first degree equation containing two variables x and y is called a linear equation in two
variables. The general form of linear equation in two variables x and y is ax + by + c = 0, where
atleast one of a, b is non-zero and a, b, c are real numbers.
Linear Equation in two variables Any first degree equation containing two variables x and y is called a
linear equation in two variables. The general form of linear equation in two variables x and y is
ax+by+c = 0, where atleast one of a, b is non-zero and a, b, c are real numbers. Note that linear equations
are first degree equations in the given variables.

The general form of a linear equation in three variables x, y and z is ax +by +cz +d = 0 where
a, b, c, d are real numbers, and atleast one of a, b, c is non-zero.
A linear equation in two variables of the form ax +by +c = 0 , represents a straight line.
A linear equation in three variables of the form ax + by +cz +d = 0 , represents a plane.
If you obtain a false equation such as 0=1, in any of the steps then the system has no solution.
If you do not obtain a false solution, but obtain an identity, such as 0=0 then the system has infinitely
many solutions.

An expression is called a rational expression if it can be written in the form where p(x) and q(x) are
ሺ௫ሻ
polynomials and q(x) ≠ 0.
A rational expression is the ratio of two polynomials.

A rational expression is said to be in its lowest form if GCD (p(x), q(x)) = 1.

A value that makes a rational expression (in its lowest form) undefined is called an excluded value(q(x) = 0).
Let p(x) be a polynomial. x = a is called zero of p(x) if p(a) = 0.

5. COORDINATE GEOMETRY
“The Great Geometer” - Apollonius
The vertices A(x1, y1 ), B (x2, y2 ) and C (x
( 3, y3) of ∆ABC
ABC are said to be “taken in order” if A, B, C are taken in
counter-clock wise direction.
The inclination of a line or the angle of inclination of a line is the angle which a straight line makes with
the positive direction counter clockwise direction to the part of the line above
ction of X axis measured in the counter-clockwise
the X axis.
The inclination of X axis and every line parallel to X axis is 0° .
The inclination of Y axis and every line parallel to Y axis is 90°.
If ߠ is the angle non
gle of inclination of a non-vertical straight line, then tan ߠ is called the slope or gradient of
the line and is denoted by m.
The slope of the straight line is m = tan ߠ , ߠ ≤ 180° , ߠ ≠ 90°.
If ߠ = 0o, the line is parallel to the positive direction
direct of X axis.
If 0 < ߠ < 90 , the line has positive slope.

PROBABILITY
A random experiment is an experiment in which
i) The set of all possible outcomes are known (ii)Exact outcome is not known.
The set of all possible outcomes in a random experiment is called a sample space. It is generally denoted
by S.
Each element of a sample space is called a sample point.
In a random experiment, each possible outcome is called an event.
An event will be a subset of the sample space.
If an event E consists of only one outcome then it is called an elementary event.
