  Life on the Earth   By now you might have realised that all units of this book have acquainted you with the three major realms of the environment, that is, the lithosphere, the atmosphere and the hydrosphere. You know that living organisms of the earth, constituting the biosphere, interact with other environmental realms. The biosphere includes all the living components of the earth. It consists of all plants and animals, including all the micro-organisms that live on the planet earth and their interactions with the surrounding environment. Most of the organisms exist on the lithosphere and/or the hydrosphere as well as in the atmosphere. There are also many organisms that move freely from one realm to the other.   Life on the earth is found almost everywhere. Living organisms are found from the poles to the equator, from the bottom of the sea to several km in the air, from freezing waters to dry valleys, from under the sea to underground water lying below the earth's surface.   The biosphere and its components are very significant elements of the environment. These elements interact with other components of the natural landscape such as land, water and soil. They are also influenced by the atmospheric elements such as the temperature, rainfall, moisture and sunlight. The interactions of biosphere with land, air and water are important to the growth, development and evolution of the organism.   Ecology You have been reading about ecological and environmental problems in newspapers and magazines. Have you ever thought what ecology is? The environment as you know, is made up of abiotic and biotic components. It would be interesting to understand how the diversity of life-forms is maintained to bring a kind of balance. This balance is maintained in a particular proportion so that a healthy interaction between the biotic and the abiotic components goes on.   The interactions of a particular group of organisms with abiotic factors within a particular habitat resulting in clearly defined energy flows and material cycles on land, water and air, are called ecological systems.   The term ecology is derived from the Greek word 'oikos' meaning 'house', combined with the word 'logy' meaning the 'science of or 'the study of. Literally, ecology is the study of the earth as a 'household', of plants, human beings, animals and micro-organisms. They all live together as interdependent components. A German zoologist Ernst Haeckel, who used the term as 'oekologie' in 1869, became the first person to use the term 'ecology'. The study of interactions between life forms (biotic) and the physical environment (abiotic) is the science of ecology. Hence, ecology can be defined as a scientific study of the interactions of organisms with their physical environment and with each other.   A habitat in the ecological sense is the totality of the physical and chemical factors that constitute the general environment. A system consisting of biotic and abiotic components is known as ecosystem. All these components in ecosystem more...

  Biodiversity and Conservation   You have already learnt about the geomorphic processes particularly weathering and depth of weathering mantle in different climatic zones. See the Figure 6.2 in Chapter 6 in order to recapitulate. You should know that this weathering mantle is the basis for the diversity of vegetation and hence, the biodiversity. The basic cause for such weathering variations and resultant biodiversity is the input of solar energy and water. No wonder that the areas that are rich in these inputs are the areas of wide spectrum of biodiversity.   Biodiversity as we have today is the result of 2.5-3.5 billion years of evolution. Before the advent of humans, our earth supported more biodiversity than in any other period. Since, the emergence of humans, however, biodiversity has begun a rapid decline, with one species after another bearing the brunt of extinction due to overuse. The number of species globally vary from 2 million to 100 million, with 10 million being the best estimate. New species are regularly discovered most of which are yet to be classified (an estimate states that about 40 per cent of fresh water fishes from South America are not classified yet). Tropical forests are very rich in bio-diversity.   Biodiversity is a system in constant evolution, from a view point of species, as well as from view point of an individual organism. The average half-life of a species is estimated at between one and four million years, and 99 per cent of the species that have ever lived on the earth are today extinct. Biodiversity is not found evenly on the earth. It is consistently richer in the tropics. As one approaches the Polar Regions, one finds larger and larger populations of fewer and fewer species.   Biodiversity itself is a combination of two words, Bio (life) and diversity (variety). In simple terms, biodiversity is the number and variety of organisms found within a specified geographic region. It refers to the varieties of plants, animals and micro-organisms, the genes they contain and the ecosystems they form. It relates to the variability among living organisms on the earth, including the variability within and between the species and that within and between the ecosystems. Biodiversity is our living wealth. It is a result of hundreds of millions of years of evolutionary history. Biodiversity can be discussed at three levels: (i) Genetic diversity; (ii) Species diversity; (iii) Ecosystem diversity.   Genetic Diversity Genes are the basic building blocks of various life forms. Genetic biodiversity refers to the variation of genes within species. Groups of individual organisms having certain similarities in their physical characteristics are called species. Human beings genetically belong to the Homo sapiens group and also differ in their characteristics such as height, colour, physical appearance, etc., considerably. This is due to genetic diversity. This genetic diversity is essential for a healthy breeding of population of species.   Species Diversity This refers to the variety of species. It relates to the number more...

  PERMUTATION & COMBINATION   Learning Objectives  
  • Factorial
  • Permutation
  • Combination
  Factorial The factorial, symbolized by an exclamation mark (!), is a quantity defined for all integers greater than or equal to 0. Mathematically, the formula for the factorial is as follows.   If n is an integer greater than or equal to 1, then n! = n (n - 1) (n - 2) (n - 3) …. (3)(2)(10).   Example: \[1!=1,\,\,2!=2,\,\,3!=6,\,\,4!=4.3.2.1=24,\,\,5!=5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1=120\] \[61=6\times 5\times 4\times 3\times 2\times 1=720,\text{ }7!=\text{ }5040\text{ }and\text{ }8!=40320\text{ }etc.\] The special case 0! is defined to have value 0! = 1.   Permutation   The different arrangements which can be made by taking some or all of the given things or objects at a time is called Permutation. All permutations (arrangements] made with the letters a, b, c by taking two at a time will be (ab, be, ca, ba, ac, cb).   Number of Permutations: Number of all permutations of n things, taking r at a time is: \[^{n}{{P}_{r}}=\frac{n!}{n-r!}=n(n-1)\,(n-2)\,(n-3)\,...\,\,...\,(n-r+1)\] Note: This is valid only when repetition is not allowed.
  • Permutation of n different things taken rat a time. When repetition is Allowed: \[n\times \,\,n\times n\,\,...........\,r\text{ }times=\,{{n}^{r}}\] ways
  • Permutation of n things taking all n things at a time = n!
  • Out of n objects \[{{n}_{1}}\] are alike one type, \[{{n}_{2}}\] are alike another type, \[{{n}_{3}}\] are alike third type, \[nr\] nr are alike another type such that \[({{n}_{1}}+{{n}_{2}}+{{n}_{3}}\,......\,nr)=n\]
Number of permutations of these n things are \[=\frac{n!}{{{n}_{1}}!\,{{n}_{2}}!\,\,...\,\,...\,\,.{{n}_{r}}!}\]   Combination   Each of the different selections or groups which are made by taking some or all of a number of things or objects at a time is called combination. The number of combinations of n dissimilar things taken r at a time is denoted by \[^{n}{{C}_{r}}\,or\,C\,(n,\,r).\] \[^{n}{{C}_{r}}\,=\frac{n!}{r!\,(n-r)!}=\frac{n\,(n-1)\,(n-2)\,.....\,(n-r+1)}{1.2.3......r}\] Also \[^{n}{{C}_{0}}=1;\,{{}^{n}}{{C}_{n}}=1;\] \[Note:\,\,(i){{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{r}}+{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{r-1}}=\,{{\,}^{(n+1)}}{{C}_{r}}\]   Important Formula  
  • In a group of n-members if each member offers a shake hand to the remaining members then the total number of handshakes \[^{n}{{C}_{2}}=\frac{n\,(n-1)}{1.2}=\frac{n\,(n-1)}{2}\]
  • The number of diagonals in a regular polygon of 'n' sides is \[\frac{n\,(n-3)}{2}\]
  • From a group of m-men and n-women, if a committee of remembers \[(r\,\le \,m+n)\] to be formed, then the number of ways it can be done is equal to \[^{(m+n)}{{C}_{r}}.\]
  • The number of ways a group of r-boys (men) and s-girls (women) can be made out of m boys (men) and n-girls (women) is equal to \[{{(}^{m}}{{C}_{r}}\times \,{{\,}^{n}}{{C}_{s}}).\]
  • From a group of m-boys and n-girls the number of different ways that a committee of remembers can be formed so that the committee will have at least one girl is \[{{C}_{r}}-{{\,}^{m}}{{C}_{r}}\]

  Sequence and Series   A particular order in which related things follow each other. Called sequence. The sequence having specified patterns is called progression. The real sequence is that sequence whose range is a subset of the real numbers. A series is defined as the expression denoting the sum of the terms of the sequence. The sum is obtained after adding the terms of the sequence. If \[{{a}_{1}},\,\,{{a}_{2}}\,\,{{a}_{3}},----,\,\,{{a}_{n}}\,\]is a sequence having n terms, then the sum of the series is given by: \[\sum\limits_{K=1}^{n}{{{a}_{k}}={{a}_{1}}+{{a}_{2}}+{{a}_{3}}+----+{{a}_{n}}}\]   Arithmetic Progression (A.P.) A sequence is said to be in arithmetic progression if the difference between its consecutive terms is a constant. The difference between the consecutive terms of an A.P. is called common difference and nth term of the sequence is called general term. If \[{{a}_{1}},\,\,{{a}_{2}}\,\,{{a}_{3}},----,\,\,{{a}_{n}}\,\]be n terms of the sequence in A.P., then nth term of the sequence is given by \[{{a}_{n}}=a+(n-1)d\], where 'a' is the first term of the sequence, 'd' is the common difference and 'n' is the number of terms in the sequence. For example 10th term of the sequence \[3,\,\,5,\,\,7,\,\,9,---\] is given by: \[{{a}_{10}}=a+9d\]    \[\Rightarrow \]   \[{{a}_{10}}=3+9\times 2=21\]   Sum of n terms of the A.P. If \[{{a}_{1}},\,\,{{a}_{2}}\,\,{{a}_{3}},---,\,\,{{a}_{n}}\,\]be n terms of the sequence in A.P., then the sum of n- terms of the sequence is given by \[{{S}_{n}}=\frac{n}{2}[2a+(n-1)d].\] For example the sum of first 10 terms of the sequence 3, 5, 7, 9, --- is given by: \[{{S}_{10}}=\frac{10}{2}[2\times 3+9\times 2]\Rightarrow {{S}_{10}}=120\] If S is the sum of the first n terms of an AP, then its \[{{n}^{th}}\]term is given by \[{{a}_{n}}={{S}_{n}}-{{S}_{n-1}}\]   Geometric Progression (G.P.) A sequence is said to be in G.P., if the ratio between its consecutive terms is constant. The sequence \[{{a}_{1}},\,\,{{a}_{2}}\,\,{{a}_{3}},---,\,\,{{a}_{n}}\,\]is said to be in G.P. If the ratio of its consecutive terms is a constant, the constant term is called common ratio of the G.P. and is denoted by r. For example any sequence of the form 2, 4, 8, 16, --- is a G.P. Here the common ratio of any two consecutive terms is 2.   If ‘r’ is the common ratio, then the nth term of the sequence is given by \[{{a}_{n}}=a{{r}^{n-1}}\] The sum of n terms of a G.P. is given by \[{{S}_{n}}=\frac{a({{r}^{n}}-1)}{r-1}\], if \[r>1\]and \[{{S}_{n}}=\frac{a(1-{{r}^{n}})}{1-r}\]if \[r<1\] Sum to infinity of a G.P. is given by \[{{S}_{\infty }}=\frac{a}{1-r}\] Harmonic Progression (H.P.) A sequence is said to be in H.P. If the reciprocal of its consecutive terms are in A.P. It has got wide application in the field of geometry and theory of sound. These progressions are generally solved by inverting the terms and using the property of arithmetic progression. Three numbers a, b, c are said to be in H.P. if, \[\frac{1}{a},\,\frac{1}{b}and\frac{1}{c}\]are in A.P.   Some Useful Results (i) Sum of first n natural numbers ie.\[1+2+3+......n=\frac{(n+1)n}{2}\] (ii) Sum of the squares of first n natural numbers ie.\[{{1}^{2}}+{{2}^{2}}+{{3}^{2}}+......{{n}^{2}}=\frac{n(n+1)(2n+1)}{6}\] (iii) Sum of the cubes of first n natural numbers
  • \[{{1}^{3}}+{{2}^{3}}+{{3}^{3}}+......{{n}^{3}}={{\left[ \frac{n(n+1)}{2} \right]}^{2}}\]

      Set Theory                                                           A Set A set is the collection of things which is well-defined. Here well-defined means that group or collection of things which is defined distinguishable and distinct e.g. Let A is the collection of the group M = {cow, ox, book, pen, man}. Is this group collection is a set or not? Actually this is not a set. Because it is collection of things but it cannot be defined in a single definition. For example, A = {1, 2, 3, 4, 5,... n} Here, collection A is a set because A is group or collection of natural numbers. e.g. A = {a, e, i, o, u}= {x/x : vowel of English alphabet}   Distinguish Between a Set and a Member e.g.       A = {2, 5, 8, 7} \[2\in A\]. It is read as 2 belongs to set A. Or 2 is the member/element of set A. \[6\notin A\]- It means 6 doesn't belong to set A. A set is represented by capital letter of English/Greek Alphabet. \[\alpha ,\beta ,\gamma ,\delta \]or A, B, C, U, S etc. and its all elements is closed with { } bracket. Hence what is the difference between 2 and {2} \[\because \]2 can be element of a set whereas {2} represents a set whose one elements is 2.   Note:    A set is the collection of distinguish and distinct things A set can be written/represented in the two form   (a)        Tabular form/Roaster form (b)        Set builder form e.g.
  • \[A=\{a,e,i,o,u\}\to \]Tabular form/roaster form
  • = {\[x/x:\] a vowel of english letter} = It is said to be set-builder form Note:    \[x:x\]or \[x/x\]is read as x such that \[x\]  
  • A = {2, 4, 6, 8, 10} = {\[x/x\], is an even numbers \[\le \]10}
  •   Type of Sets   (i)         Null Set: A set which has no element, is said to be a null set and denoted by \[\phi \,or\,\{\}\] e.g.       (a) a set of three-eyed men (b) Set of real solution of the equation \[{{x}^{2}}+1=0,\] \[{{x}^{2}}=-1\Rightarrow x=\sqrt{-1}=\]imaginary   (ii)        Singleton Set: A set having single element is said to be singleton set. e.g.       A = {2}   (iii)       Finite Set: A set having definite and countable elements, is said to be finite set e.g.       \[A=\{a,e,i,o,u\}\]   (iv)       Infinite Set: A set having uncountable and indefinite elements is said to be infinite set. e.g.       a set of stars.   (v)        Equal set: Two or more than two sets are said to be equal sets if they have the same elements. e.g.       \[A=\{1,\,2,\,5,\,7,\,8\}\], \[B=\{2,\,5,8,1,7\}\]. So, \[A=B\]  
    • Operations on Sets
  • Union-operation
  • Intersection operation
  • Complement operation
  • Difference operation
  • e.g.       \[A=\{1,\,2,\,3,\,5\}\], \[B=\{2,\,5,7,\,8\}\]                         \[A\,\bigcup B=\{1,\,2,3,5,7,8\}\], \[A\,\bigcap \,B=\{2,\,5\}\]  
    • Union Set: Let A and B be two non-empty sets then A union B i.e. \[A\,\bigcup B\]is a set more...

                                                                                          Relation and Function   Let \[A=\{1,\,2,\,3,4,\}\], \[B=\{2,\,3\}\] \[A\times B=\{1,\,2,3,\,4,\}\times \{2,3\}=\{(1,2),(2,2),(3,2),(4,2),(1,3),(2,3),(3,3),(4,3)\}\]   Let we choose an arbitrary set:   \[R=[(1,2),(2,2),(1,3),(4,3)]\] Then R is said to be the relation between a set A to B.   Definition   Relation R is the subset of the Cartesian Product\[A\times B\]. It is represented as \[R=\{(x,y):x\in A\,\] and \[y\in B\}\] {the 2nd element in the ordered pair (x, y) is the image of 1st element}   Sometimes, it is said that a relation on the set A means the all members / elements of the relation R be the elements / members of \[A\text{ }\times \text{ }A\]. e.g.      Let \[A=\{1,\,2,\,3\}\] and a relation R is defined as \[R=\{(x,y):x<y\] where \[x,y\in A\}\]   Sol.     \[\because \]\[\mathbf{A=\{1,}\,\mathbf{2,}\,\mathbf{3\}}\] \[A\times A=\{(1,1),(2,2),(3,3),(2,1),(3,1),(1,2),(3,2),(1,3),(2,3)\}\]             \[\because \,\,\,\,R=\,\,\,\because x<y\]             \[\because \,\,\,\,R=\{(x,y):x<y,and\,x,y\in A\}=\{(1,2),(2,3),(1,3)\]   Note: Let a set A has m elements and set B has n elements. Then \[n(A\times B)\] be \[m\times n\]elements so, total number of relation from A to B or between A and B be\[{{2}^{m\times n}}\].
    • A relation can be represented algebraically either by Roster method or set builder method.
      Types of Relation  
    • Void Relation: A relation R from A to B is a null set, then R is said to be void or empty relation.
     
    • Universal Relation: A relation on a set A is said to be universal relation, if each element of A is related to or associated with every element of A.
     
    • Identity Relation: A relation \[{{I}_{x}}\{(x,x):x\in A\}\] on a set A is said to be identity relation on A.
     
    • Reflexive relation: A relation Ron the set A is said to be the reflexive relation. If each and every element of set A is associated to itself. Hence, R is reflexive iff \[(a,\,a)\in R\,\,\forall \,\,a\in A\].
    e.g.       \[\Rightarrow \,\,A=\{1,\,2,\,3,\,4\}\] \[R=\{(1,\,3),(1,1),(2,3),(3,2),(2,2),(3,1),(3,3),(4,4)\}\]is a reflexive relation on f.   Sol.     Yes, because each and every element of A is related to itself in R.  
    • Symmetric relation: A relation R on a set A is said to be symmetric relation iff. \[(x,y)\in R\Rightarrow (y,x)\in R\,\,\forall \,\,x,y\in A\]
    i.e. \[x\,R\,y\Rightarrow y\,R\,x\,\,\forall \,\,x,y\in A\] \[\because \] xRy is read as x is R-related to y.  
    • Anti-symmetric relation: A relation which is not symmetric is said to be anti-symmetric relation.
     
    • Transitive relation: Let A be any non-empty set. A relation R on set A is said to be transitive relation R iff \[(x,y)\in R\] and \[(y,z)\in R\] then \[(x,z)\in R\,\,\forall \,\,x,y,z\in R.\]
    i.e.       \[xRy\] and \[yRz\Rightarrow xRz\,\,\forall \,\,x,\,y,\,z\in R\].
  • Let \[\mathbf{A=\{1,}\,\mathbf{2,}\,\mathbf{3,}\,\mathbf{4\}}\]
  • \[A\times A=\{(1,,1),(2,1),(3,1),(4,1),(1,2),(2,2),(3,2),(4,2),(1,3),(2,3),(3,3),(4,3),(1,4),(2,4),(3,4),(4,4),\] \[{{R}_{1}}=(1,1),(2,2),(3,2),(2,3),(3,3),(4,4)\] \[{{R}_{2}}=(2,2),(1,3),(3,3),(3,1),(1,1)\] \[{{R}_{3}}=(1,1),(2,2),(3,4),(3,3),(4,4)\]   State about\[{{\mathbf{R}}_{\mathbf{1}}}\], \[{{\mathbf{R}}_{\mathbf{2}}}\] and\[{{\mathbf{R}}_{\mathbf{3}}}\]. Are they reflexive, symmetric, anti-symmetric or transitive relations?   Sol.     \[{{R}_{1}}\] is symmetric as well as transitive relation for \[{{R}_{2}}\]. \[{{R}_{2}}\]is not reflexive because \[(4,4)\in more...

      Limits and Derivatives   Key Points to Remember   A number, (\[\ell \] is said to be the limit of the function \[\text{y=f}(x)\] at\[x=a\], then \[\exists \] a positive number, \[\in \,\,>\,\,0\] corresponding to the small positive number \[\delta \,>\,\,0\] such that \[\left| \text{f(x)-}\left. \ell  \right| \right.\,<\,\varepsilon ,\] provided \[\left| x-\left. a \right| \right.\,<\,\delta \] Evidently, \[\underset{x\to \,a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\,f(x)=\ell \] We have to learn how to evaluate the limit of the function \[y=f(x)\] Only three type of function can be evaluate the limit of the function.
  • Algebraic function
  • Trigonometric function
  • Logarithmic and exponential function
  • Now, basically, there are three method to evaluate the limit of the function.  
    • By Formula Method
    i.e.        \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\frac{{{x}^{n}}-{{a}^{n}}}{x-a}=n.{{a}^{n-1}}\]  
    • Factorisation Method: In this matter numerator and denominator are factorised. The common factors are cancelled and the rest is the result.
    • Rationalisation Method: Rationalisation is followed when we have fractional overs \[\left( like\frac{1}{2},\frac{1}{3}etc. \right)\] on expressions in numerator or denominator in both. After rationalisation the terms are factorised which on cancellation gives the result.

                                                                                                     Trigonometry   Key Points to Remember Trigonometry: It is derived/contained from two greek words trigon and metron means that the measurement of three sides of the triangle.     A triangle has three vertex, three angles and three sides in above figure. vertex be A, Band C Angle be \[\angle ABC,\] \[\angle BCA,\] and \[\angle CAB,\]or \[\angle BAC\] According to sides, type of triangle be (a)        Equilateral Triangle: All sides are equal (b)        Isosceles Triangle: Two sides are equal (c)        Scalene Triangle: All sides are different. According to Angle, There are three types of triangles: (a)        Acute Angle Triangle              (b)        Obtuse Angle Triangle              (c)        Right angle Triangle
    • Point to Remember
    Sum of all angles in a triangle is \[180{}^\circ \]
    • Trigonometric Ratio
    In right angle triangle, basically, there are three triagonometrical ratio: sin, cosine and tangent. i.e. total trigonometrical ratio are six: sin, cos, tan, cosec, sec, cot Let us consider a right angle triangle ABC in which     Then \[\angle A=90{}^\circ -\theta \] \[\sin \theta =\frac{P}{h}=\frac{AB}{AC},\,\]\[\cos ec\,\theta =\frac{h}{P}\] \[\cos \,\theta =\frac{b}{h},\] \[sec\theta =\frac{h}{b}\] \[\tan \theta =\frac{P}{b},\] \[\cot \theta =\frac{b}{P}\] Trigonometrical ratio shows the relation between angle and sides of the triangle.  
    • Product of trigonometrical ratio
    \[\sin \theta \times \operatorname{cosec}\theta =1\]
    \[\tan \theta \times \cot \theta =1\]
    \[\cos \theta \times \sec \theta =1\]
     
    • Some Important Formula
    \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta +{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1\]            …….. (1) \[LHS={{\left( \frac{P}{h} \right)}^{2}}+{{\left( \frac{b}{h} \right)}^{2}}=\frac{{{P}^{2}}}{{{h}^{2}}}+\frac{{{b}^{2}}}{{{h}^{2}}}\]
    \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta =1-{{\cos }^{2}}\theta \]
    \[{{\cos }^{2}}\theta =1-{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \]
    \[=\frac{{{P}^{2}}+{{b}^{2}}}{{{h}^{2}}}=\frac{{{h}^{2}}}{{{h}^{2}}}=1\] [By pythagoras theorem]     Dividing equation (1) on both sides by \[{{\cos }^{2}}q,\]we have \[\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }+\frac{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }=\frac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }\] \[\Rightarrow {{\tan }^{2}}\theta +1={{\sec }^{2}}\theta \] \[\Rightarrow {{\sec }^{2}}\theta -{{\tan }^{2}}\theta =1\] \[{{\tan }^{2}}\theta ={{\sec }^{2}}\theta -1\] Again, dividing (1) by \[{{\sin }^{2}}\theta \], we have             \[\frac{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }+\frac{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }{{{\cos }^{2}}\theta }=\frac{1}{{{\sin }^{2}}\theta }\]             \[\Rightarrow 1+{{\cot }^{2}}\theta =\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta \]             \[\Rightarrow \cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta -{{\cot }^{2}}\theta =1\]              \[{{\cot }^{2}}\theta =\cos e{{c}^{2}}\theta -1\]   Angle: Inclination between two sides (arms), is said to be an angle, e.g.   Angle may be positive or negative When angle be measured in anticlockwise direction then it is positive otherwise negative.

      Continuity and Differentiability of a Function   Introduction   The word 'continuous' means without any break or gap. If the graph a function has no break or gap or jump, then it is said to be continuous. A function which is not continuous is called a discontinuous function. While studying graphs of functions, we see that graphs of functions sinx, x, cosx, etc. are continuous on R but greatest integer functions [x] has break at every integral point, so it is not continuous. Similarly tanx, cotx, seex, 1/x etc. are also discontinuous function on R.   Continuous Function                            Discontinuous Function                                       Continuity of a Function at a Point   A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain if and only if it satisfies the following three condition:   (i)         f(a) exist. ('a' line in the domain of f) (ii)        \[\underset{x+a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\] f(x) exist e.e; \[\underset{x\to {{a}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\] f(x)= \[\underset{x\to {{a}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\] f(x) or R.H.L= L.H.L (iii)       \[\underset{x+a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\] f(x) = f(a) (limit equals the value of function)   Continuity from Left and Right A function f(x) is said to be continuous at a point x = a of its domain if and only if it satisfies the following three condition:   (i)         f(a) exist. ('a' line in the domain of f) (ii)        \[\underset{x+a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\] f(x) exist e.e; \[\underset{x\to {{a}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\] f(x)= \[\underset{x\to {{a}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\] f(x) or R.H.L= L.H.L (iii)       \[\underset{x+a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\] f(x) = f(a) (limit equals the value of function)   Cauchy's Definition of Continuity A function f is said to be continuous at a point a of its domain D if for every \[\varepsilon >o\] there exists \[\delta >o\] (dependent of\[\varepsilon \]) such that \[\left| x-a \right|<\delta \] \[\Rightarrow \left| \text{f}(x)-\text{f(a)} \right|<\varepsilon \]   Comparing this definition with the definition of limit we find that f(x) is continuous at x = a if \[\underset{x\to a}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\]f(x) exists and is equal to f(a) i.e; \[\underset{x\to {{a}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\] f(a) \[\underset{x\to {{a}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\] f(x).   Continuity from Left and Right             Function f(x) is said to be   (i)         Left continuous at x= a if \[\underset{x\to {{a}^{-}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\,\text{f(x)=f(a)}\text{.}\] (ii)        Right continuous at x = a if \[\underset{x\to {{a}^{+}}}{\mathop{\lim }}\,\,\,\text{f(x)=f(a)}\text{.}\] Thus a function f(x) is continuous at a point x = a if it is left continuous as well as right continuous at x = a.     Differentiation   The function, f(x) is differentiable at point P, iff there exists a unique tangent at point P. In other words, f(x) is differentiable at point P iff the curve does not have pas a corner point i.e; the function is not differentiable at those more...

                                                                                             Complex Number   Complex Numbers: "Complex number is the combination of real and imaginary number".   Definition: A number of the form\[x+iy,\], where \[x,y\in R\] and \[i=\sqrt{-1}\] is called a complex number and (i) is called iota. A complex number is usually denoted by z and the set of complex number is denoted by C.   \[\Rightarrow C=\{x+iy:x\in R,\,Y\in R,\,i=\sqrt{-1}\}\]   For example: \[5+3i,\] \[-1+i,\] \[0+4i,\] \[4+0i\] etc. are complex numbers.   Note: Integral powers of iota (i)   since \[i=\sqrt{-1}\] hence we have \[{{i}^{2}}=-1,\] and \[{{i}^{4}}=1.\]   Conjugate of a complex number: If a complex number \[z=a+i\,b,\] \[(a,b)\in R,\] then its conjugate is defined as \[\overline{z}=a-ib\]                              Hence, we have   \[\operatorname{Re}(z)=\frac{z+\overline{z}}{2}\] and \[\operatorname{Im}(z)=\frac{z-\overline{z}}{2i}\]   \[\Rightarrow \] Geometrically, the conjugate of z is the reflection or point image of z in the real axis.   e.g.                     (i)         \[z=3-4i\]                         \[z=3-(-4)=3+4i\]                         (ii)        \[z=2+5i\]                         \[\overline{z}=2-5i\]                         (iii)       \[\overline{z}=5i\]                         \[\overline{z}=-5i\]       
    • Operation (i.e. Addition and Multiplication) of Complex Number
      e.g.       \[{{z}_{1}}=a+ib=(a,b)\] \[{{z}_{2}}=c+id=(c,d)\] Then \[{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}=(a+c,b+d)=(a+c)+i(b+d)\] \[{{z}_{1}}.{{z}_{2}}=(a,b)(c,d)=(ac-bd,bc+ad)\] \[{{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}=(a-c,b-d)\Rightarrow {{z}_{1}}-{{z}_{2}}=(a-c,b-a)\]  
    • Some Properties of Conjugate Number
      (a)        \[(\overline{z})=z\]                                                          (b)        \[z+\overline{z}\] if & only if z is purely real   (c)        \[z+-\overline{z}\] iff z  is purely imaginary            (d)        \[z+\overline{z}=2\operatorname{Re}(z)=2p\] Real part of z   (e)        \[z-\overline{z}=2i\,\,lm(z)=2i\] Imaginary part of z        (f)         \[\overline{{{z}_{1}}+{{z}_{2}}}={{\overline{z}}_{1}}\pm {{\overline{z}}_{2}}\]   (g)        \[\overline{{{z}_{1}}.{{z}_{2}}}={{\overline{z}}_{1}}.{{\overline{z}}_{2}}\]                                         (h)        \[\left( \frac{\overline{{{z}_{1}}}}{{{z}_{2}}} \right)=\overline{\frac{{{z}_{1}}}{{{z}_{2}}}},{{z}_{2}}\ne 0.\]   (i)         \[\text{f}i\,\,z=\text{f}({{z}_{1}})\] then \[\overline{z}=\text{f}(\overline{{{z}_{1}}})\]                              (j)         \[(\overline{{{z}^{4}}})={{(\overline{z})}^{4}}\]   (k)\[{{z}_{1}}{{\overline{z}}_{2}}+{{\overline{z}}_{1}}{{z}_{2}}=2\operatorname{Re}({{z}_{1}}.{{\overline{z}}_{2}})=2.Re({{z}_{1}}.{{\overline{z}}_{2}})\]  
    • Square Roots of a Complex Number
      Let z = x + iy. Let the square root of a complex number \[z=x+iy\] is \[u+iv\] i.e. \[\sqrt{x+iy}=u+iv\]                         ......... (1)   squaring both sides we have \[x+iy={{(u+iv)}^{2}}={{u}^{2}}+{{(iv)}^{2}}+2.u.(iv)\] \[={{u}^{2}}-{{v}^{2}}+2iuv\]   Equating real & imaginary part, we have \[x={{u}^{2}}-{{v}^{2}}\]                                        ........ (2) \[y=2uv\]                                                          ........ (3)   Now, \[{{u}^{2}}+{{v}^{2}}=\sqrt{{{({{u}^{2}}+{{v}^{2}})}^{2}}+4{{u}^{2}}{{v}^{2}}}\]   \[=\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}\]                                           ........ (4)   Solving (2) & (4), we have   \[2{{u}^{2}}=\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}+x}\]   \[{{u}^{2}}=\sqrt{\frac{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}{2}}+\frac{x}{2}\]                          \[\therefore \,\,\,u=\pm \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}-x}{2}}\]   Similarly, \[v=\pm \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}-x}{2}}\]   From (3), we can determine the sign of xy as, if xy > 0 then x & y will be the same sign.   \[\sqrt{x+iy}=\pm \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}+x}{2}},+i\sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}-x}{2}}\]  
    • If \[\mathbf{xy<0}\] then square root of \[\mathbf{z}\sqrt{\mathbf{x+iy}}\]
      \[=\pm \left( \sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}}+x}{2}}-i\sqrt{\frac{\sqrt{{{x}^{2}}+{{y}^{2}}-x}}{2}} \right)\]   In short form it can be written. i.e.        \[xy>0\]   Then square root of \[z=x+iy\] i.e. \[\sqrt{x+iy}=\pm \left( \sqrt{\frac{\left| z \right|+x}{2}}+i\sqrt{\frac{\left| z \right|-x}{2}} \right)\] e.g. Find the square root of 7+24i   Giveen \[z=\sqrt{x+iy}=\sqrt{7+24i}\]   \[\left| \,z\, \right|=\sqrt{{{7}^{2}}+{{(24)}^{2}}}=\sqrt{625}=25\]   Square root of \[z=7+24i\]   \[=\pm \sqrt{\frac{25+7}{2}}=i\sqrt{\frac{25-7}{2}}=\pm \left( \sqrt{\frac{32}{2}}+\sqrt{\frac{18}{2}} \right)\]   \[=\pm (4+i3)=(4+3)\] or\[-(4+3i)\]  
    • Polar form of a complex number
