Internal division of a segment · Parallel and perpendicular lines · Distance from a point to a line · Equation of a circle · Circle and line positions · Translations · Reflections
- Coordinate Geometry: Distance and Section Formula – Every point on a flat plane has an address (x, y). The distance between A(x₁, y₁) and B(x₂, y₂) is d = √[(x₂ − x₁)² + (y₂ − y₁)²]; it is just Pythagoras on the x-gap and the y-gap. A point P that cuts AB inside in the ratio m : n is P = ((mx₂ + nx₁)/(m + n), (my₂ + ny₁)/(m + n)). When m = n, P is the midpoint.
- Straight Lines (Class 11): Slope, Forms of the Equation and Distance – The slope of a line is rise ÷ run = (y₂ − y₁)/(x₂ − x₁) = tan θ. Parallel lines have equal slopes; perpendicular lines have m₁m₂ = −1. The angle between two lines is given by tan θ = |(m₂ − m₁)/(1 + m₁m₂)|. A line can be written as y = b or x = a (parallel to an axis), y − y₁ = m(x − x₁) (point-slope), y = mx + c (slope-intercept), the two-point form, or x/a + y/b = 1 (intercept form). The distance of (x₁, y₁) from Ax + By + C = 0 is |Ax₁ + By₁ + C|/√(A² + B²).
- Conic Sections (Class 11): Circle, Parabola, Ellipse and Hyperbola – Cutting a double cone with a plane gives a circle, an ellipse, a parabola or a hyperbola; a cut through the vertex gives a point, a line or a pair of lines (degenerate conics). Circle: (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r². Parabola y² = 4ax: focus (a, 0), directrix x = −a, latus rectum 4a, e = 1. Ellipse x²/a² + y²/b² = 1 (a > b): c² = a² − b², foci (±c, 0), e = c/a < 1, latus rectum 2b²/a, PF₁ + PF₂ = 2a. Hyperbola x²/a² − y²/b² = 1: c² = a² + b², e = c/a > 1, latus rectum 2b²/a, |PF₁ − PF₂| = 2a.
- Equation of a Circle – A circle is the set of points at a fixed distance r from a centre (h, k). By the distance formula its equation is (x − h)² + (y − k)² = r²; with centre at the origin, x² + y² = r². Opened up, it becomes x² + y² + Dx + Ey + F = 0, with centre (−D/2, −E/2) and r² = D²/4 + E²/4 − F. A line meets a circle in 2, 1 or 0 points when the distance d from centre to line is less than, equal to or more than r. Two circles are compared by the distance between their centres.
- Transformations: Slide, Flip, Turn and Resize a Shape – A transformation moves a shape to a new place. Translation slides it, reflection flips it in a mirror line, rotation turns it about a centre, enlargement changes its size from a centre. The first three keep size and shape (congruent image). Enlargement keeps shape but changes size (similar image). Each has a simple coordinate rule.
2. Sets and propositions
Sets and notation · Subsets · Set operations · Propositions and conditions · Converse and contrapositive · Necessary and sufficient conditions · Proof by contrapositive and contradiction · Absolute inequalities
- Sets: Representation, Types, Subsets, Venn Diagrams and Operations – A set is a well-defined collection of different objects. We write it in roster form {2, 4, 6} or set-builder form {x : x is even}. Sets can be empty, finite, infinite or equal. If every element of B is in A, B is a subset of A (B ⊂ A); a set with n elements has 2ⁿ subsets. Intervals like (a, b) and [a, b] are subsets of real numbers. The universal set U holds everything under study. With Venn diagrams we see union A ∪ B, intersection A ∩ B, difference A − B and complement A′ = U − A.
- Propositions and Conditions: The Logic Behind Maths – A proposition is a sentence that is either true or false. We join propositions with NOT, AND, OR, IF…THEN and IF AND ONLY IF. 'If p then q' is false only when p is true and q is false. Its contrapositive 'if not q then not p' always has the same truth value. When p ⇒ q, p is sufficient for q and q is necessary for p. A predicate like 'x > 3' becomes a proposition when we fix x or add 'for all' / 'there exists'.
- Inequalities: Rules, Intervals and Solving Them – An inequality says one amount is bigger or smaller than another, using <, >, ≤ or ≥. On a number line, the smaller number is on the left. You may add or subtract the same number on both sides, and multiply or divide by the same positive number, and the sign stays. If you multiply or divide by a negative number, the sign flips. The answer is usually a whole set of numbers, written as an interval such as (−∞, 4]. A quadratic inequality is solved from its roots and the shape of its graph. |x| < a means −a < x < a. Some inequalities are true for every number, like x² ≥ 0 and the AM–GM inequality.
3. Functions and graphs
Functions and graphs · Composite functions · Inverse functions · Rational functions · Irrational (radical) functions
- Relations and Functions: Cartesian Product, Domain, Range, Graphs – An ordered pair (a, b) has a first and a second place, so (1, 2) ≠ (2, 1). The Cartesian product A × B is the set of all ordered pairs (a, b) with a ∈ A and b ∈ B, and n(A × B) = n(A) × n(B). A relation from A to B is any subset of A × B; its domain is the set of first elements and its range the set of second elements, while B is the co-domain. A function is a special relation where every element of A has exactly one image. We study constant, identity, polynomial, rational, modulus, signum, exponential, log and greatest integer functions with their graphs, and add, subtract, multiply and divide functions point by point.
- Functions: Composite, Inverse and Standard Graphs – A function is a rule that gives exactly one output for each allowed input. The allowed inputs are the domain; the outputs are the range. Two functions can be joined: g(f(x)) means do f first, then g. An inverse function f⁻¹ undoes f, and its graph is the mirror image of the graph of f in the line y = x. Only one-to-one functions have an inverse.
- Rational Functions: Graphs, Asymptotes and Sketching – A rational function is one polynomial divided by another, like y = (2x + 1)/(x − 1). It is not defined where the bottom is zero. Near those x-values the graph shoots up or down along a vertical asymptote. Far out, it settles near a horizontal (or slant) asymptote. Find domain, asymptotes, intercepts and holes, then sketch.
- Radical Functions (Square Root Functions) – A radical function has the variable under a root sign. The simplest is y = √x. Its graph is a curve that starts at (0, 0) and goes right and up. For y = a√(x − p) + q the start point is (p, q), the domain is x ≥ p, and the range is y ≥ q when a is positive (y ≤ q when a is negative).
