We haveseen that there are times whenwe need touse numbers witha negative sign. This is when we want to go below zero on the number line. These are called negative numbers. Some examples of their use can be in temperature scale, water level in lake or river, level of oil in tank etc. (Scroll down to continue …)

They are also used to denote debit account or outstanding dues. The collection of numbers…, – 4, – 3, – 2, – 1, 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, … is called integers. So, – 1,– 2, – 3, – 4, … called negative numbers are negative integers and 1, 2, 3, 4, … called positive numbers are the positive integers. We havealso seen howone more thangiven number givesa successor andone less than given number gives predecessor. We observe that (a) When we havethe same sign,add and putthe same sign. (i) When two positive integers are added, we get a positive integer [e.g.. (+3) + (+2) = + 5]. (ii) When two negative integers are added, we get a negative integer [e.g.. (–2) +(–1)= – 3]. (b) When one positive and one negative integers are added we subtract them as whole numbers by considering thenumbers without their sign and thenput the signof the bigger number with the subtraction obtained. The bigger integer is decided by ignoring thesigns of theintegers [e.g.. (+4)+ (–3) =+ 1 and(–4) + (+3)= – 1]. (c) The subtraction ofan integer isthe same asthe addition ofits additive inverse. We have shownhow addition andsubtraction of integers can also beshown on a number line.

Whole Numbers The numbers 1,2, 3, ……which we use for counting are known as natural numbers. If you add 1 to a natural number, we get its successor. If you subtract 1 from a natural number, you get its predecessor. (Scroll down to continue …)

Every natural number has a successor. Every natural number except 1 has a predecessor.
Whole Numbers
Whole numbers are formed by adding zero to the collection of natural numbers. Hence, the set of whole numbers includes 0, 1, 2, 3, and so on.
Key Properties of Whole Numbers:
Successors and Predecessors:
Every whole number has a successor. For example:
The successor of 0 is 1.
The successor of 1 is 2.
The successor of 2 is 3.
Every whole number except zero has a predecessor. For example:
The predecessor of 1 is 0.
The predecessor of 2 is 1.
The predecessor of 3 is 2.
Relationship with Natural Numbers:
All natural numbers (1, 2, 3, …) are whole numbers, but not all whole numbers are natural numbers since whole numbers include 0.
Number Line Representation:
Whole Number Line
To visualize whole numbers, we can draw a number line starting from 0:
Mark points at equal intervals to the right: 0, 1, 2, 3, …
This number line allows us to carry out operations:
Addition: Moving to the right (e.g., 1 + 2 = 3).
Subtraction: Moving to the left (e.g., 3 – 1 = 2).
Multiplication: Making equal jumps (e.g., 2 × 3 means jumping twice the distance of 2, reaching 6).
Division: Although division can be tricky, it involves partitioning. For example, 6 ÷ 2 means splitting 6 into 2 equal parts, resulting in 3.
Closure Properties:
Adding two whole numbers always results in a whole number:
Examples:
2 + 3 = 5
0 + 4 = 4
1 + 1 = 2
Multiplying two whole numbers also results in a whole number:
Examples:
2 × 3 = 6
0 × 5 = 0
1 × 4 = 4
Whole numbers are closed under subtraction only if the result is non-negative:
Examples:
2 – 1 = 1
5 – 3 = 2
3 – 3 = 0
Yet, if the result is negative, they are not closed under subtraction:
Example: 2 – 3 = -1 (not a whole number).
So, the whole numbers are not not closed under subtraction.
Division by whole numbers is defined only when the divisor is not zero, and the result is a whole number:
Examples:
6 ÷ 2 = 3
8 ÷ 4 = 2
0 ÷ 5 = 0
Division by zero is undefined (e.g., 5 ÷ 0).
So, the whole numbers are not not closed under division.
Identity Elements:
Zero acts as the identity for addition:
Example: 5 + 0 = 5.
The whole number 1 acts as the identity for multiplication:
Example: 3 × 1 = 3.
Commutative and Associative Properties:
Addition is commutative:
Examples:
2 + 3 = 3 + 2
1 + 4 = 4 + 1
0 + 5 = 5 + 0
Multiplication is also commutative:
Examples:
2 × 3 = 3 × 2
1 × 4 = 4 × 1
0 × 5 = 5 × 0
Both addition and multiplication are associative:
Examples for addition:
(1 + 2) + 3 = 1 + (2 + 3)
(0 + 4) + 1 = 0 + (4 + 1)
(2 + 2) + 2 = 2 + (2 + 2)
Examples for multiplication:
(1 × 2) × 3 = 1 × (2 × 3)
(0 × 4) × 1 = 0 × (4 × 1)
(2 × 2) × 2 = 2 × (2 × 2)
Distributive Property:
Multiplication distributes over addition:
Example: 2 × (3 + 4) = 2 × 3 + 2 × 4.
Understanding these properties helps simplify calculations. It enhances our grasp of numerical patterns. These patterns are not only interesting but also practical for mental math.

Geometry
Geometry is a branch of mathematics concerned with properties of space such as the distance, shape, size, and relative position of figures. A mathematician who works in the field of geometry is called a 🎉geometer.
Space
Space: space refers to a set of points that form a particular type of structure.
Plane
A plane is a flat surface that extends infinitely in all directions
Point
Point is an exact position or location in space with no dimensions.
Mathematically, a point is defined as a circle with zero radius.
Since it is not possible its is represented by a very small dot.
A point is usually represented by a capital letter.
In mathematical terms, pont is a cirlce with no radius. It does mean that a very very small circle.
A point determines a location. It is usually denoted by a capital letter.
Lines And Its Types
Ray
A Ray is a straight path that stars at a point and extends infinitely in one direction.
Note: A ray is a portion of line starting at a point and extends in one direction endlessly. A ray has only one endpoint (Initial point).
Line or Straight Line
A line is a straight path that extends infinitely in two opposite directions. It can be treated as a combination of two rays starting from the same point but extending in the opposite directions.
Note: A line has no end points.
Line Segment:
A line segment is the part of a line between two points. (Segment means part).
The length of a line segment is the shortest length between two end points.
The line segment has two end points. Note: A line Segment has two endpoints. (both Initial and end points). (Scroll down to continue …).
Intersecting Lines and Non-intersecting Lines
Intersecting And Parallel Lines
Parallel Lines
The lines which never cross each other at any point are called Parallel lines or Non-intersecting lines.
In other words, lines that are always the same distance apart from each other and that never meet are called Parallel lines Or Non-intersecting lines.
The perpendicular length between two lines is the distance between parallel lines.
Note: Parallel lines do not have any common point.
Intersecting Lines
The lines which cross (meet) each other at a point are called Intersecting Lines or non-parallel lines.
Intersecting lines meet at only one point.
Angle
An angle is made up of two rays starting from a common end point.
An angle leads to three divisions of a region:
On the angle, the interior of the angle and the exterior of the angle.
Curve
In geometry, a curve is a line or shape that is drawn smoothly and continuously in a plane with bends or turns.
In other words, Curve is a drawing (straight or non-straight) made without lifting the pencil may be called a curve.
Mathematicians define a curve as any shape that can be drawn without lifting the pen.
In Mathematics, A curve is a continuous and smooth line that is defined by a mathematical function or parametric equations.
Note: In this sense, a line is also a curve.
Types of Curves
Simple Or Open And Closed Curves
Cureves are two types based on intersection (crossing). They are (i) Simple or Open curve (ii) Closed curve.
Simple Curve
Simple or open curve is a curve that does not cross (intersect) itself.
Closed Curve
Closed curve is a curve that crosses (intersects) itself.
Concave And Convex Curves
Curves are of two types. They are concave curve and convex curve.
Concave Curve:
A curve is concave is a curve that curves inward, resembling a cave.
Examples:
– The interior of a circle.
– The graph of a concave function like y = -x2.
Convex Curves:
A curve is convex if it curves outward.
Examples:
– The exterior of a circle.
– The graph of a convex function like y = x2.
Polygon
A polygon is a simple closed figure formed by the line segments.
Types of Polygons
Polygons are classified into two types on the basis of interior angles: as (i) Convex polygon (ii) Concave polygon.
(a) Concave Polygon:
A concave polygon is a simple polygon that has at least one interior angle, that is greater than 1800 and less than 3600 (Reflex angle).
And at Least one diagonal lies outside of the closed figure.
Atlest one diagonal lies outside of the polygon.
b. Convex Polygon:
A convex polygon is a simple polygon that has at least no interior angle that is greater than 1800 and less than 3600 (Reflex angle).
And no diagonal lies outside of the closed figure.
In this case, the angles are either acute or obtuse (angle < 180 o).
Regular And Irregular Polygon
On the basis of sides, there are two types of polygons as Regular Polygon and Irregular Polygon
(a) Regular Polygon:
A convex polygon is called a regular polygon, if all its sides and angles are equal as shown in the following figures.
Each angle of a regular polygon of n-sides =
Part of Polygon
(i) Sides Of The Polygon
The line segments of a polygone are called sides of the polygon.
(ii) Adjacent Sides Of Polygon
Adjacent sides of a polygon are thesides of a polygon with a common end point.
(iii) Vertex Of Polygon
Vertext of a polygon is a point at which a pair of sides meet.
(iv) Adjacent Vertices
Adjacent vertices of polygon are the end points of the same side of the polygon.
(v) diagonal
Diagonal of a polygone is a line segment that joins the non-adjacent vertices of the polygon.
Triangle
A triangle is a three-sided polygon.
In other terms triangle is a three sided closed figure.
Quadrilateral
A quadrilateral is a four-sided polygon. (It shouldbe named cyclically).
In any
similar relations exist for the other three angles.
Circle And Its Parts
A circle is the path of a point moving at the same distance from a fixed point.
Centre Of Circle
Centre Of Circle is a point that is equidistant from any point on the boundary of the circle.
In other words the centre of the circles is a centre point of the circle.
Radius Of Circle
Radius of circle is the distance between the centre of the circle and any point on the boundary of the circle.
Circumference Of Circle
Circumference of circle is the length of the boundary of the circle.
Chord Of Circle
A chord of a circle is a line segment joining any two points on the circle.
A diameter is a chord passing throughthe Centre of the circle.
Sector Of Circle
A sector is the region in the interior of a circle enclosed by an arc on one side and a pair of radii on the other two sides.
Segment Of Circle
A segment of a circle is a region in the interior of the circle enclosed by an arc and a chord.
The diameter of a circle divides it into two semi-circles.

One full turn of the hand is 1 revolution.
A right angle is ¼ revolution and a straight angle is ½ a revolution. We use a protractor to measure the size of an angle in degrees.
The measure of a right angle is 90° and hence that of a straight angle is 180°.
An angle is acute if its measure is smaller than that of a right angle and is obtuseif its measure is greaterthan that of a right angle and less than a straightangle.
A reflex angle is largerthan a straight angle.
Two intersecting lines are perpendicular if the anglebetween them is 90°.
The perpendicular bisector of a line segmentis a perpendicular to the line segmentthat divides it into two equal parts.
Triangles can be classified as follows based on their angles:
Triangles can be classified as follows based on the lengths of their sides:

Plane figures areof two-dimensions (2-D) and the solid shapes are of three- dimensions (3-D). The corners of a solid shape are called its vertices; theline segments ofits skeleton areits edges; and itsflat surfaces areits faces. A net is a skeleton-outline of a solid that can be folded to make it. The same solid can haveseveral types ofnets. Solid shapes can be drawn on a flat surface (like paper) realistically. We call this 2-D representation of a 3-Dsolid. Two types ofsketches of asolid are possible: (a) An oblique sketch does nothave proportional lengths. Still it conveys all important aspects of the appearance of the solid. (b) An isometric sketch is drawn on an isometric dot paper, a sample of which isgiven at theend of thisbook. In an isometric sketch of the solidthe measurements kept proportional. Visualising solidshapesis a veryuseful skill. Youshould be ableto see ‘hidden’ parts of thesolid shape. Different sections of a solid can be viewed in many ways: (a) One way is to viewby cutting or slicing the shape, whichwould result in the cross- section of thesolid. (b) Another way isby observing a 2-D shadow of a 3-Dshape. (c) A third wayis to lookat the shapefrom different angles; the front-view, theside- view and thetop view canprovide a lotof information aboutthe shape observed.

Expressing Large Numbers in the Standard Form: Any number can be expressed as a decimal number between 1.0 and 10.0 (including 1.0) multiplied by a power of 10. Such form of a number is called its standard form or scientific motion. Very large numbers are difficult to read, understand, compare and operate upon. To make all these easier, we use exponents, converting many of the large numbers in a shorter form. The following are exponential forms of some numbers?
Here, 10, 3 and 2 are the bases, whereas 4, 5 and 7 are their respective exponents. We also say, 10,000 is the 4th power of 10, 243 is the 5th power of 3, etc. Numbers in exponential form obey certain laws, which are: For any non-zero integers a and b and whole numbers m and n,

The six elements of a triangle are its three angles and the three sides. The line segment joining a vertex of a triangle to the midpoint of its
Median:
The opposite side is called the median of the triangle.
A triangle has three medians.
Altitude of the triangle:
The perpendicular line segment from vertex of a triangle to its opposite sides is called an altitude of the triangle.
A triangle has3 altitudes.
Type of triangle based onSides:Equilateral:
A triangle is said to be equilateral, if each one of its sides has the same length. In An equilateral triangle, each angle measures 60°.

A triangle one of whose angles measures
(ii) Obtuse Angled Triangle:
A triangle one of whose angles measures more than
(iii) Acute Angled Triangle:
A triangle each of whose angles measures less than In a right angled triangle, the side opposite to the right angle is called the hypotenuse and the other two sides are called its legs.
Pythagoras property:
In a right-angled triangle, the square on the hypotenuse = the sum of the squares on its legs.If a triangle is not right-angled, this property does not hold good. Thisproperty is useful to decide whether a given triangle is right-angled
or not.
Exterior angle of a triangle:
An exterior angle of a triangle is formed, when a side of a triangle is produced. At each vertex, you have two ways of forming an exterior angle.
A property of exterior angles:
The measure of any exterior angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of the measures of its interior opposite angles.
The angle sum property of a triangle:
The total measure of the three angles of a triangle is 180°.
Property of the Lengths of Sides of a Triangle:
The sum of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always greater than the length of the third side. The difference of the lengths of any two sides of a triangle is always smaller than the length of the third side.

While comparing heights of two persons with heights150 cm and 75 cm, we write it as the ratio 150 : 75 or 2 : 1.
Ratio: A ratio compares two quantities using a particular operation.
Percentage: Percentage are numerators of fractions with denominator 100. Percent is represent by the symbol% and means hundredth too.
Two ratios can be compared by converting them to like fractions. If the two fractions are equal,we say the two given ratios are equivalent.
If two ratios are equivalent then the four quantities are said to be in proportion. For example, the ratios 8 : 2 and 16 : 4 are equivalent therefore 8, 2, 16 and 4 are in proportion.
A way of comparing quantities is percentage. Percentages are numerators of fractions with denominator 100. Per cent means per hundred. For example 82% marks means
82 marks out of hundred.
Percentages are widely used in our daily life,
(a) We have learnt to find exact number when a certain per cent of the total quantity is given.
(b) When parts of a quantityare given to us as ratios, we have seen how to convert
them to percentages.
(c) The increase or decrease in a certainquantity can also be expressed as percentage.
(d) The profit or loss incurredin a certain transaction can be expressedin terms of percentages.
(e) While computing intereston an amount borrowed, the rate of interest is given in terms of per cents. For example, ` 800 borrowed for 3 years at 12% per annum. Simple Interest:Principal means the borrowed money.
The extra money paid by borrower for using borrowedmoney for given time is called interest(I).
The period for which the money is borrowed is called ‘TimePeriod’ (T).
Rate of interestis generally given in percentper year.
Interest, I = PTR/100
Total money paid by the borrower to the lenderis called the amount.

2. Decimals are fractionswhose denominators are 10, 100, 1000 etc.
3. A decimal has two parts, namely, the whole numberpart and decimal part.
4. The number of digits containedin the decimal part of a decimal number is known as the numberof decimal places.
5. Decimals having the same number of places are called like decimals, otherwise they are knownas unlike decimals.
6. We have, 0.1 = 0.10 = 0.100 etc, 0.5 = 0.50 = 0.500 etc and so on. That is by annexing zeros on the right side of the extreme right digit of the decimalpart of a number does not alterthe value of the number.
7. Unlike decimals may be converted into like decimals by annexing the requisite numberof zeros on the right side of the extreme right digit in the decimal part.
8. Decimal numbers may be convertedby using the following steps.Step I Obtain the decimalnumbers
Step II Compare the whole partsof the numbers. The number with greater whole part will be greater. If the whole parts are equal, go to next step.
Step Ill Compare the extreme left digits of the decimal parts of two numbers. The number with greater extreme left digit will be greater. If the extreme left digits of decimal parts are equal,then compare the next digits and so on.
9. A decimal can be converted into a fractionby using the following steps:Step I: Obtain the decimal.
Step II: Take the numerator as the number obtained by removing the decimal point from the given decimal.
Step III: Take the denominator as the number obtainedby inserting as many zeros with 1 (e.g.10, 100 or 1000 etc.)as there are number of places in the decimal part.
10. Fractions can be converted into decimals by using the following steps:
Step I: Obtain the fractionand convert it into an equivalent fraction with denominator 10 or 100 or 1000 if it is not so.
Step II: Write its numeratorand mark decimal point after one place or two places or threeplaces from right towards left if the denominator is 10 or 100 or 1000 respectively. If the numerator is short of digits, insert zeros at the left of the numerator.
11. Decimals can be added or subtracted by using the following steps:Step I: Convert the given decimals to like decimals.
Step II: Write the decimals in columns with their decimal pointsdirectly below each other so that tenthscome under tenths, hundredths come and hundredths and so on.
Step III: Addor subtract as we add or subtract whole numbers.
Step IV: Place the decimal point, in the answer, directly below the other decimal points.
12. In order to multiply a decimal by 10, 100, 1000 etc., we use the following rules:
Rule I: On multiplying a decimal by 10, the decimalpoint is shiftedto the right by one place.
Rule II: On multiplying a decimal by 100, the decimal point is shiftedto the right by two places.
Rule III: On multiplying a decimal by 1000, the decimal point is shiftedto the right by threeplaces, and so on.
13. A decimal can be multiplied by a whole number by using following steps:
Step I: Multiply the decimal without the decimalpoint by the given whole number.
Step II: Mark the decimal point in the product to have as many placesof decimal as are there in the given decimal.
14. To multiply a decimal by another decimal, we follow following steps:
Step I: Multiply the two decimalswithout decimal point just like whole numbers.
Step II: Insert the decimal point in the product by countingas many places from the right to left as the sum of the number of decimalplaces of the given decimals.
15. A decimal can be dividedby 10, 100, 1000 etc by using the followingrules:
Rule I When a decimal is divided by 10, the decimal point is shifted to the left by one place.
Rule II When a decimal is divided by 100, the decimal point is shifted to the left by two places.
Rule III When a decimal is divided by 1000, the decimal point is shiftedto the left by threeplaces.
16. A decimal can be divided by a whole number by using the following steps:Step I: Check the whole number part of the dividend.
Step II: If the wholenumber part of the dividend is less than the divisor,then place a 0 in the onesplace in the quotient. Otherwise, go to step Ill.
Step III: Divide the whole number part of the dividend.
Step IV: Place the decimal point to the right of ones place in the quotient obtained in step I.
Step V: Divide the decimal part of the dividend by the divisor. If the digits of the dividend are exhausted, then place zeros to the right of dividendand remainder each time and continue the process.
17. A decimal can be divided by a decimal by using the following steps:
Step 1 Multiple the dividend and divisor by 10 or 100 or 1000 etc. to convert the divisor into a whole number.
Step II Divide the new dividendby the whole number obtainedin step I.

The collection, recording and presentation of data help us organiseour experiences and draw inferences from them.
Before collecting data we need to know what we would use it for.
The data that is collected needs to be organised in a propertable, so that it becomeseasy to understand and interpret. (Scroll down to continue …).

Average is a numberthat represents or shows the central tendencyof a group of observations or data.
Arithmetic mean is one of the representative values of data.
Mean = sum of all observations/ Number of observations.
Mode is another form of central tendency or representative value.
The mode of a set of observations is the observation that occurs most often.
If each of the value in a data is occurring one time, then all are mode.
Sometimes we also say that this data has no mode since none of them is occurring frequently.
Median is also a form of representative value.
It refers to the value which lies in the middle of the data with half of the observations above it and the other half below it.

There are situations in our life, that are certain to happen, some that are impossible and some that may or may not happen.
The situation that may or may not happen has a chanceof happening.
Probability: A branch of mathematics that is capable of calculating the chance or likelihood of an event taking place (in percentage terms).
If you have 10 likelihoods and you want to calculate the probability of 1 event taking place,it is said that its probability is 1/10 or event has a 10% probability of taking place.
Events that have many possibilities can have probability between 0 and 1.
Important Formulae – Data Handling
1. A trial is anaction which results in one or several outcomes. 2. An experiment in whichthe result ofa trial cannot be predicted inadvance is called a random experiment.
3. An event associated to a random experiment is thecollection of someoutcomes of theexperiment.
4. An event associated witha random experiment is said tohappen if anyone of theoutcomes satisfying thedefinition of theevent is anoutcome of theexperiment when it is performed.
5. The Empirical probability ofhappening of an event E is defined as: P(E)= Number of trials in which the event happened/ Total number of trials.

In case ofthe balanced equation, if we add the same number to both thesides, or subtract the same number from both the sides,
or
multiply both sidesby the same number, or divide both sidesby the samenumber, the balance remains un disturbed,
i.e.,the value of the LHS remains equal to the value of the RHS The above property gives a systematic method of solving an equation.
We carry out a series of identical mathematical operations on the two sides of the equation in such a waythat on oneof the sides we get justthe variable. Thelast step isthe solution of the equation.
Transposing means moving to the other side.
Transposition of a number has the same effect as adding same number to (or subtracting the same number from) both sides of the equation.
Whenyou transpose a number fromone side ofthe equation tothe other side, you change itssign.
For example, transposing +3 fromthe LHS tothe RHS in equation x + 3 = 8 gives x = 8 – 3 (= 5).
We can carry out the transposition of an expression in thesame way as the transposition of a number.
We havelearnt how to construct simple algebraic expressions corresponding to practical situations.
Wealso learnt how,using the technique of doing thesame mathematical operation (for example adding the samenumber) on bothsides, we could build an equation starting fromits solution.
Further, we also learnt that we could relate a given equation tosome appropriate problem/puzzlefrom the equation. practical situation and build a practical word.

We now study theproperties satisfied by addition andsubtraction.
(a) Integers are closed for addition and subtraction both. That is, a + b and a – b are again integers, where a andb are anyintegers.
(b) Addition is commutative forintegers, i.e., a + b = b + a for allintegers a andb.
(c) Addition is associative for integers, i.e., (a + b) + c = a + (b + c) for all integers a, b and c.
(d) Integer 0 is the identity under addition. That is, a + 0 = 0 + a = a for every integer a. We studied, how integers could be multiplied, andfound that product of a positive and a negative integer is a negative integer, whereas the product of two negative integers isa positive integer. For example, –2 × 7 = –14 and –3 × – 8 =24.
Product of even number of negative integers is positive, whereas the product of odd number of negative integers is negative. Integers showsome properties under multiplication.

The absolute value of an integer a isdenoted by |a| and is given by a,if a is positive or 0 a = -a,if a is negative
11. The sum oftwo integers of the same sign is an integer of the same sign whose absolute value is equal to the sum of the absolute values of the given integers.
12. The sum of two integers of opposite signs is an integer whose absolute value is the difference of the absolute values of addend and whose sign isthe sign ofthe addend having greater absolute value.
13. To subtract an integer b from another integer a, we change the sign ofb and addit to a. Thus, a − b = a + (−b)
14. All properties of operations onwhole numbers aresatisfied by theseoperations on integers.
15. If aand b are two integers, then(a − b) is alsoan integer.
16. −a and aare negative oradditive inverses of each other.
17. To find theproduct of twointegers, we multiply theirabsolute values andgive the result a plus signif both thenumbers have the same sign or a minussign otherwise.
18. To find thequotient of oneinteger divided by another non-zero integer, we divide their absolute values and give the result a plus sign if both the numbers have the same sign or a minus signotherwise.
19. All the properties applicable to wholenumbers are applicable to integers in addition, the subtraction operation has the closure property.
20. Any integer whenmultiplied or divided by 1 gives itself and whenmultiplied or divided by-1 gives its opposite.
21. When expression hasdifferent types ofoperations, some operations haveto be performed before the others. That is, each operation has its own precedence. The order in which operations are performed is division, multiplication, addition and finally subtraction (DMAS).
22. Brackets are usedin an expression when we wanta set of operations to be performed before the others.
23. While simplifying anexpression containing brackets, the operations within the innermost set of brackets are performed first and then those brackets are removed followed by the ones immediately after them tillall the brackets are removed.

Important Points To Remember
The diagonals of a parallelogram are equal if and only if it is a rectangle.
If a diagonal of a parallelogram bisects one of the angles of the parallelogram then it also bisects the opposite angle.
In a parallelogram, the bisectors of any two consecutive angles intersect at a right angle.
The angle bisectors of a parallelogram form a rectangle.
Mid Point Theorem
A line segment joining the mid points of any two sides of a triangle is parallel to the third side and length of the line segment is half of the parallel side.
Converse Of Mid Point Theorem
A line through the midpoint of a side of a triangle parallel to another side bisects the third side.
Intercept Theorem
If there are three parallel lines and the intercepts made by them on one transversal are equal then the intercepts on any other transversal are also equal.
Angle Sum Property of a Quadrilateral
The sum of the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360°
If we draw a diagonal in the quadrilateral, it divides it into two triangles.
And we know the angle sum property of a triangle i.e. the sum of all the three angles of a triangle is 180°.
The sum of angles of ∆ADC = 180°.
The sum of angles of ∆ABC = 180°.
By adding both we get ∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360°
Hence, the sum of the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360°.
Example
Find ∠A and ∠D, if BC∥ AD and ∠B = 52° and ∠C = 60° in the quadrilateral ABCD.
Solution:
Given BC ∥ AD, so ∠A and ∠B are consecutive interior angles.
So ∠A + ∠B = 180° (Sum of consecutive interior angles is 180°).
∠B = 52°
∠A = 180°- 52° = 128°
∠A + ∠B + ∠C + ∠D = 360° (Sum of the four angles of a quadrilateral is 360°).
∠C = 60°
128° + 52° + 60° + ∠D = 360°
∠D = 120°
∴ ∠A = 128° and ∠D = 120 °.

Properties of a Parallelogram
Theorem 1: When we divide a parallelogram into two parts diagonally then it divides it into two congruent triangles.
∆ABD ≅ ∆CDB
Theorem 2: In a parallelogram, opposite sides will always be equal.
Theorem 3: A quadrilateral will be a parallelogram if each pair of its opposite sides will be equal.
Here, AD = BC and AB = DC
Then ABCD is a parallelogram.
Theorem 4: In a parallelogram, opposite angles are equal.
In ABCD, ∠A = ∠C and ∠B = ∠D
Theorem 5: In a quadrilateral, if each pair of opposite angles is equal, then it is said to be a parallelogram. This is the reverse of Theorem 4.
Theorem 6: The diagonals of a parallelogram bisect each other.
Here, AC and BD are the diagonals of the parallelogram ABCD.
So the bisect each other at the centre.
DE = EB and AE = EC
Theorem 7: When the diagonals of the given quadrilateral bisect each other, then it is a parallelogram.
This is the reverse of the theorem 6.
The Mid-point Theorem
1. If a line segment joins the midpoints of the two sides of the triangle then it will be parallel to the third side of the triangle.
If AB = BC and CD = DE then BD ∥ AE.
2. If a line starts from the midpoint of one line and that line is parallel to the third line then it will intersect the midpoint of the third line.
If D is the midpoint of AB and DE∥ BC then E is the midpoint of AC.

Prove that C is the midpoint of BF if ABFE is a trapezium and AB ∥ EF.D is the midpoint of AE and EF∥ DC.
Solution:
Let BE cut DC at a point G.
Now in ∆AEB, D is the midpoint of AE and DG ∥ AB.
By midpoint theorem, G is the midpoint of EB.
Again in ∆BEF, G is the midpoint of BE and GC∥ EF.
So, by midpoint theorem C is the midpoint of BF.
Hence proved.

Variations: If the values of two quantities depend on each other in such a way that a change in one causes corresponding change in the other, then the two quantities are said to be in variation. (Scroll down to continue …)

Direct Variation or Direct Proportion:
Extra:
Two quantities x and y are said to be in direct proportion if they increase (decrease) together in such a manner that the ratio of their corresponding values remains
constant. That is if
=k [k is a positive number, then x and y are said to vary directly.
In such a case if y1, y2 are the values of y corresponding to the values x1, x of x
respectively then = .
If the number of articles purchased increases, the total cost also increases. More than money deposited in a bank, more is the interest earned.
Quantities increasing or decreasing together need not always be in direct proportion, same in the case of inverse proportion.
When two quantities x and y are in direct proportion (or vary directly), they are
written as
. Symbol
stands for ‘is proportion to’.
Inverse Proportion: Two quantities x and y are said to be in inverse proportion if an increase in x causes a proportional decrease in y (and vice-versa) in such a manner that the product of their corresponding values remains constant. That is, if xy
= k, then x and y are said to vary inversely. In this case if y1, y2 are the values of y
corresponding to the values x1, x2 of x respectively then
x1, Y1 = x2, y2 or
=
When two quantities x and y are in inverse proportion (or vary inversely), they are
written as x
. Example: If the number of workers increases, time taken to finish
the job decreases. Or If the speed will increase the time required to cover a given distance decreases.

Factorisation: Representation of an algebraic expression as the product of two or more expressions is called factorization. Each such expression is called a factor of the given algebraic expression. (Scroll down to continue …)

When we factorise an expression, we write it as a product of factors. These factors may be numbers, algebraic variables or algebraic expressions.
An irreducible factor is a factor which cannot be expressed further as a product of factors.
A systematic way of factorising an expression is the common factor method. It consists of three steps:
Write each term of the expression as a product of irreducible factors
Look for and separate the common factors and
Combine the remaining factors in each term in accordance with the distributive law.
Sometimes, all the terms in a given expression do not have a common factor; but the terms can be grouped in such a way that all the terms in each group have a common factor. When we do this, there emerges a common factor across all the groups leading to the required factorisation of the expression. This is the method of regrouping.
In factorisation by regrouping, we should remember that any regrouping (i.e., rearrangement) of the terms in the given expression may not lead to factorisation. We must observe the expression and come out with the desired regrouping by trial and error.
A number of expressions to be factorised are of the form or can be put into the form: a2 + 2ab + b2, a2 – 2ab + b2, a2 – b2 and x2 + (a + b)x + ab. These expressions can be easily factorised using Identities I, II, III and IV
a2 + 2ab + b2 = (a + b)2
a2 – 2ab + b2 = (a – b)2
a2 – b2 = (a + b) (a – b)
Factorisation
x2 + (a + b)x + ab = (x + a)(x + b)
In expressions which have factors of the type (x + a) (x + b), remember the numerical term gives ab.
Its factors, a and b, should be so chosen that their sum, with signs taken care of, is the coefficient of x.
We know that in the case of numbers, division is the inverse of multiplication. This idea is applicable also to the division of algebraic expressions.
In the case of division of a polynomial by a monomial, we may carry out the division either by dividing each term of the polynomial by the monomial or by the common factor method.
In the case of division of a polynomial by a polynomial, we cannot proceed by dividing each term in the dividend polynomial by the divisor polynomial. Instead, we factorise both the polynomials and cancel their common factors.
In the case of divisions of algebraic expressions that we studied in this chapter, we have Dividend = Divisor × Quotient.
In general, however, the relation is Dividend = Divisor × Quotient + Remainder
Thus, we have considered in the present chapter only those divisions in which the remainder is zero.
There are many errors students commonly make when solving algebra exercises.
You should avoid making such errors.

Introduction to Graphs
A line graph displays data that changes continuously over periods of time. A line graph which is a whole unbroken line is called a linear graph.
For fixing a point on the graph sheet we need, x-coordinate and y-coordinate.
The relation between dependent variable and

independent variable is shown
A Bar Graph: A pictorial representation of numerical data in the form of bars (rectangles) of uniform width with equal spacing. The length (or height) of each bar
represents the given number.
A Pie Graph: A pie graph is used to compare parts of a whole. The various
observations or components are represented by the sectors of the circle.
A Histogram: Histogram is a type of bar diagram, where the class intervals are shown on the horizontal axis and the heights of the bars (rectangles) show the frequency of the class interval, but there is no gap between the bars as there is no gap between the
class intervals.
Linear Graph: A line graph in which all the line segments form a part of a single line. Coordinates: A point in Cartesian plane is represented by an ordered pair of numbers.
Ordered Pair: A pair of numbers written in specified order.

Grouped data can be presented using histogram. Histogram is a type of bar diagram, where the class intervals are shown on the horizontal axis and the heights of the bars show the frequency of the class interval. Also, there is no gap between the bars as there is no gap between the class intervals.
In order to draw meaningful inferences from any data, we need to organise the data systematically.
Frequency gives the number of times that a particular entry occurs.
Raw data can be ‘grouped’ and presented systematically through ‘grouped frequency distribution’.
Statistics: The science which deals with the collection, presentation, analysis and interpretation of numerical data.
Observation: Each entry (number) in raw data.
Range: The difference between the lowest and the highest observation in a given data.
Array: Arranging raw data in ascending or descending order of magnitude. Data can also presented using circle graph or pie chart. A circle graph shows the relationship between a whole and its part.
There are certain experiments whose outcomes have an equal chance of occurring. A random experiment is one whose outcome cannot be predicted exactly in advance. Outcomes of an experiment are equally likely if each has the same chance of occurring.
Frequency: The number of times a particular observation occurs in the given data.
Class Interval: A group in which the raw data is condensed.
(i) Continuous: The upper limit of a class interval coincides with the lower limit of the next class.
