🧮 MATH NOTES (Concise – 2 Papers Worth)
📐 1. Algebra
● Linear Equation (1 variable):
ax + b = 0 → x = -b/a
● Quadratic Equation:
ax² + bx + c = 0
Roots: x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / 2a
● Factorization:
Use identities:
○ (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
○ (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²
○ a² - b² = (a - b)(a + b)
📊 2. Statistics & Probability
● Mean = (Sum of all values) / (Total no. of values)
● Median = Middle value (or average of 2 middle values)
● Mode = Most frequent value
● Probability = (Favorable outcomes) / (Total outcomes)
○ Always between 0 and 1.
📏 3. Geometry
● Sum of angles in triangle = 180°
● Exterior angle of triangle = sum of opposite interior angles
● Circle:
○ Circumference = 2πr
○ Area = πr²
● Area & Perimeter:
○ Rectangle: A = l × b, P = 2(l + b)
○ Square: A = a², P = 4a
○ Triangle: A = ½ × base × height
📉 4. Mensuration (3D Geometry)
Shape Surface Area Volume
Cube 6a² a³
Cuboid 2(lb + bh + l × b ×
hl) h
Sphere 4πr² (4/3)πr³
Cylinder 2πr(h + r) πr²h
Cone πr(l + r) (1/3)πr²
h
📈 5. Coordinate Geometry
● Distance Formula:
d = √[(x₂ - x₁)² + (y₂ - y₁)²]
● Midpoint Formula:
M = [(x₁ + x₂)/2, (y₁ + y₂)/2]
● Section Formula (internal):
[(mx₂ + nx₁)/(m + n), (my₂ + ny₁)/(m + n)]
🧮 6. Trigonometry (Basics)
● Ratios:
○ sin θ = Opp/Hyp, cos θ = Adj/Hyp, tan θ = Opp/Adj
○ tan θ = sin θ / cos θ
● Values (0°, 30°, 45°, 60°, 90°):
θ sin cos tan θ
θ θ
0° 0 1 0
30° ½ √3/2 1/√3
45° 1/√2 1/√2 1
60° √3/2 ½ √3
90° 1 0 ∞
➗ 7. Number System
● Types:
○ Natural Numbers: 1, 2, 3, ...
○ Whole Numbers: 0, 1, 2, ...
○ Integers: ..., -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, ...
○ Rational: p/q where q ≠ 0
○ Irrational: Non-terminating, non-repeating decimals (e.g., √2, π)
● Divisibility Rules:
○ 2: Even last digit
○ 3: Sum of digits divisible by 3
○ 5: Ends in 0 or 5
○ 9: Sum of digits divisible by 9
📐 8. Polynomials
● Degree: Highest exponent
● Zeros: Values for which polynomial = 0
● Relations (Quadratic):
○ Sum of roots = -b/a
○ Product of roots = c/a
➕ 9. Arithmetic & Geometry Progressions
● AP:
○ nth term: a = a + (n - 1)d
○ Sum: S = n/2 [2a + (n - 1)d]
● GP:
○ nth term: a = arⁿ⁻¹
○ Sum (finite): S = a(1 - rⁿ)/(1 - r) if r ≠ 1
🧠 Quick Formulas Cheat Sheet
● (a + b)² = a² + 2ab + b²
● (a - b)² = a² - 2ab + b²
● a² - b² = (a + b)(a - b)
● (x + a)(x + b) = x² + (a + b)x + ab
