1 1
and (and their combinations) where x and y are natural
a+b x x+ 3
number and a and b are integers.

5. Recall of laws of exponents with integral powers. Rational exponents with

positive real bases (to be done by particular cases, allowing learner to arrive
at the general laws.)

Unit-II : ALGEBRA

1. POLYNOMIALS

Coefficients of a polynomial, terms of a polynomial and zero polynomial.
Degree of a polynomial. Constant, linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials.
Monomials, binomials, trinomials. Factors and statement. Factorization of
ax2 + bx + c, a ≠ 0 where a, b and c are real numbers. Recall of algebraic
expressions and identities. Verification of identities :

(x + y + z)2 = x2 + y2 + z2 + 2xy + 2yz + 2zx

(x ± y)3 = x3 ± y3 ± 3xy (x ± y)

x3 ± y3 = (x ± y) (x2 ∓ xy + y2)

Unit-VI : STATISTICS & PROBABILITY

1. STATISTICS

Introduction to statistics : Collection of data, presentation of data- tabular

form, ungrouped/grouped, bar graphs.

2. PROBABILITY

History, Repeated experiments and observed frequency approach to

probability.

group and to individual activities to motivate the concept; the experiments
to be drawn from real- Life situations and from examples used in the chapter
on statistics).
