REAL NUMBERS

1.1 Introduction

• Previous learning in Class IX: introduction to real numbers and irrational numbers.

• Current chapter discussion continues with important properties of integers.

Key Topics:

• Euclid’s Division Algorithm:

  • Applicable to the divisibility of integers.

  • States that for any positive integer $a$ divided by another positive integer $b$, there exists a remainder $r$ that is smaller than $b$.

  • Related to long division; has applications for computing the HCF of positive integers.

• Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic:

  • Every composite number can be expressed uniquely as a product of prime factors (ignoring the order).

  • Applications include proving the irrationality of certain numbers (e.g. $<br>oot{2}$, $<br>oot{3}$, $<br>oot{5}$) and determining the nature of decimal expansions of rational numbers by examining the prime factorization of their denominators.

1.2 Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic

• Natural numbers can be decomposed into prime factors.

• For example:

  • $2 = 2$

  • $4 = 2 imes 2$

  • $253 = 11 imes 23$

• Questioning the existence of composite numbers not expressible as products of primes.

• Prime Number: Infinite in quantity; when combined can produce an infinite range of positive integers.

Factoring Examples:

• Explore number factorization using a tree method: for large numbers like 32760:

  • Resulted in prime factorization: $32760 = 2^3 imes 3^2 imes 5 imes 7 imes 13$.

  • For another example: $123456789 = 3^2 imes 3803 imes 3607$.

• Unique factorization conjecture confirmed confirming every composite number has prime factors.

Theorem Statement:

• Theorem 1.1: Every composite number can be expressed uniquely as a product of primes, apart from the order of factors.

• Example: $2 imes 3 imes 5 imes 7$ is identical to $3 imes 5 imes 2 imes 7$.

1.3 Revisiting Irrational Numbers

• Definitions of irrational numbers: cannot be expressed as $rac{p}{q}$ where $p$ and $q$ are integers and $q <br>eq 0$.

Examples:

• Examples of irrational numbers include:

  • $<br>oot{2}, <br>oot{3}, <br>oot{5}, ext{ and } rac{0.10110111…}{(3)}$.

• A foundational theorem is the Theorem 1.2: If prime $p$ divides $a^2$, then it must divide $a$, for any positive integer $a$.

Proof of Irrationality for $</h5><p>oot{2}:$

1. Assume $<br>oot{2}$ is rational; $<br>oot{2} = rac{r}{s}$, rational fraction.

2. Conclude that squared terms lead to contradictions based on even and odd numbering.

3. Hence, $<br>oot{2}$ is irrational.

Additional Examples:

• Follow through for similar proofs for $<br>oot{3}$.

1.4 Summary

• Recap on previous topics introduced in this chapter:

  • Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic: Unique factorization into primes.

  • Proving irrationality of $2$ and $3$ using prime factorization.

POLYNOMIALS

2.1 Introduction

• Definition of polynomials in one variable.

Key Terms:

• Degree of a polynomial: Highest power of the variable.

  • Examples:

  • Linear polynomial example: $4x + 2$, degree 1.

  • Quadratic polynomial example: $2y^2 - 3y + 4$, degree 2.

  • Cubic polynomial example: $5x^3 - 4x^2 + x - 2$, degree 3.

2.2 Geometrical Meaning of the Zeroes of a Polynomial

• Importance of considering the zeroes visually and geometrically on graphs.

Examples of Zeroes:

1. Linear polynomial, points of intersection on graph.

2. Quadratic polynomial zeroes shown by point intersection at x-axis.

3. Example for cubic polynomials with graphical intersection of multiple x-axis points of intersection.

Determining Zeroes:

• For a linear polynomial: Forming equations based on zero conditions and coordinates.

• For quadratic examples of zeroes using general form demonstrating roots through graphical intersections.

2.3 Relationship between Zeroes and Coefficients of a Polynomial

• Example calculation of zeroes for quadratic polynomials and obtaining algebraic relationships for coefficients.

Key Observations:

• Connecting sum and product of roots linked to respective coefficients.

• Practical algebraic formulations to extract polynomial characteristics and outcomes.

COORDINATE GEOMETRY

7.1 Introduction

• Positioning points on Cartesian planes to measure shapes, distances, and applications in real-world scenarios like angles, elevations, and configurations.

Distance Formula:

• The formula combining distance measurement on coordinate graphs.

• Basis of understanding through graphing coordinates and relationship to real world distances through Pythagorean principles.

Related Examples and Graphical Depictions:

1. Example calculations to demonstrate finding the distances, along with graphical placements of points.

2. Additional exercises showcasing logical placements on graphs and conditions for constructing coordinates.

SOME APPLICATIONS OF TRIGONOMETRY

9.1 Heights and Distances

Trigonometric Applications:

• Practical, homework-oriented examples of applying trigonometric functions to evaluate heights, distances, and angles in various scenarios with visual aids to aid comprehension.

Examples include but are not limited to:

1. Tower measurements, angles of elevation and depression, effectively using triangles to determine heights and distances based on known variables.

CIRCLES

10.1 Tangent, Secants, and Properties:

1. Explore the types of tangents concerning circles, along with concepts of length measurement and angles between tangents.

2. Establish connections with geometric constructions about tangents and the foundational properties governing them to succinctly understand their features.

3. Through practical verification of concepts, confirm the properties in relation to the central axis.
