2.1 Trigonometry: Revision of angle measurement
The study of the relationships between angles and triangle sides is known as
trigonometry.
It includes the study of angles, their measurements, and their qualities. There are
numerous crucial principles to comprehend while reviewing angle measuring in
trigonometry.
Degree Measurement: The most widely used unit of measurement for angles is
degrees. A circle has 360 equal segments, and a degree is the name given to each
segment. The symbol for degrees is °.

2.2 T-ratios addition, subtraction and transformation formulae
Trigonometric ratios, or T-ratios, are the trigonometric ratios of the side lengths of a
right triangle. Sine (sin), cosine (cos), and tangent (tan) are the three fundamental T-
ratios. For manipulating and simplifying trigonometric formulas using these T-ratios,
addition, subtraction, and transformation formulae are useful.
● Sum Formula:
● Difference Formula:
These formulas let us know the T-ratios of the individual angles and then use them to
get the sine, cosine, and tangent of the sum or difference of two angles.
Transformation Formulae:
Double-Angle Formulae:
Half-Angle Formulae:
19
√
⮚ Sine:
√
⮚ Cosine:
√
⮚ Tangent:
√
These formulas let us represent the sine, cosine, and tangent of an angle in terms of
half the angle, making trigonometric expressions easier to evaluate.
We may simplify and modify trigonometric formulas using T-ratios by using these
addition, subtraction, and transformation formulae. These tools are extremely useful
for solving trigonometric equations, assessing complicated trigonometric functions,
and addressing issues in physics, engineering, and mathematics.
For angles that are multiples of a specific angle in trigonometry, the values of the
trigonometric functions are known as the T-ratios (trigonometric ratios) of multiple
angles.
These ratios enable us to identify the T-ratios of related angles, making it easier to
calculate and solve trigonometric issues.
The T-ratios of several angles can be described in terms of the original angle's T-
ratios. Here are some important T-ratios for multiple angles:
20
Triple Angle Formulas:
These formulae allow us to calculate the T-ratios of angles that are twice or three
times the specified angle. We can compute the T-ratios for these many angles by
knowing the T-ratio of the original angle.
The T-ratios (trigonometric ratios) of allied angles are the values of trigonometric
functions for angles with the same T-ratios but different signs in trigonometry.
Because these angles are connected, we may simplify computations and solve
trigonometric issues more effectively.
Here are some important T-ratios for allied angles:
Complementary Angles:
21
Supplementary Angles:
Two angles are supplementary if their sum is 180 degrees (π radians).
In the case of supplementary angles, the cosine of one angle equals the negative
cosine of the other, and the sine of one angle equals the sine of the other.
Negative Angles:
A negative angle is formed by rotating clockwise from the positive x-axis.
For negative angles, the sine and tangent functions have the same absolute value but
differ in sign, while the cosine function remains unchanged.
Understanding allied angle T-ratios helps us to identify related angle T-ratios without
having to compute them independently. These connections aid in the simplification of
trigonometric expressions, the solution of trigonometric equations, and the analysis of
periodic functions. We can work with trigonometric functions more effectively in
many mathematical and scientific applications if we recognize the patterns and
connections between associated angles.
2.4 Summary
Trigonometry is the study of angles and their links to triangle sides. It is critical to
grasp degree and radian measurements, conversions between them, special angles,
and angle connections while revisiting angle measurement in trigonometry. Degree
measurement divides a circle into 360 equal sections, whereas radian measurement
measures angles using the radius notion. Special angles with specific trigonometric
values, such as 30°, 45°, and 60°, are widely utilised. Angle connections like
22
complementary, supplementary, and vertical angles aid in the solution of
trigonometric problems.
T-ratios, often known as trigonometric ratios, are essential in trigonometry. They link
a triangle's angles to the lengths of its sides. T-ratio addition and subtraction formulae
entail using the sine, cosine, and tangent functions to get the T-ratios of the sum and
difference of two angles. By linking the T-ratios of half angles to the T-ratios of the
original angles, the transformation formulae aid in determining the T-ratios of half
angles. Trigonometric equations can be simplified and evaluated using these
formulae.
Aside from various angles, allied angles are also important in trigonometry. The T-
ratios of allied angles are the same, but the sign is different. Complementary angles
add up to 90°, and their T-ratios are reciprocal. The total of the supplementary angles
is 180°, and their T-ratios have the same absolute value but differ in sign. T-ratios for
negative angles have the same absolute value as positive angles but opposite signs.
Understanding trigonometric concepts like angle measurement, T-ratio addition and
subtraction, transformation formulae, T-ratios of multiple angles, and allied angles
provides a solid foundation for solving trigonometric problems, analysing geometric
relationships, and applying trigonometry in fields like physics, engineering, and
navigation.

3.1 Cartesian coordinates
An ordered pair (x, y), where x denotes the horizontal location along the x-axis and y
denotes the vertical position along the y-axis, represents each point in the plane in
Cartesian coordinates. The x-axis and y-axis are perpendicular lines that cross at the
origin (0, 0), which acts as the coordinate system's reference point.
Distances, angles, and other geometric features may be precisely measured and
represented using the Cartesian coordinate system. It provides a foundation for

of higher issues in geometry.
Finding the separation between two points in a plane is possible with the distance
formula, which is based on the Pythagorean theorem. Think about the two points (x₁ ,
y₁ ) and (x₂ , y₂ ) that have coordinates. The following formula can be used to
determine the distance, d, between these points:
√
The difference between the two points' x-coordinates is represented by (x2 - x₁ ) in
this formula, while the difference between their y-coordinates is represented by
(y2 - y₁ ). The square of the distance between the spots can be found by squaring and
adding these discrepancies. The real distance can be found by taking the square root
of this total.
28
For example, Let us take two points, A(2, 3) and B(5, 7), We enter the coordinates
into the distance formula to determine the separation between these points:
To determine the separation between any two locations in a plane, using the distance
formula.It gives a quantitative measure of point separation, which is necessary for
many geometric applications. The distance formula is a useful tool in analytical plane
geometry for estimating the length of a line segment, computing the dimensions of a
shape, or addressing real-world problems involving distance.

Area of a triangle with vertices are (0,0), P(a, b), and Q(c, d) is
A = (ad – bc)/2
If area of triangle with vertices P(x1, y1), Q(x2, y2) and R(x3, y3) is zero, then (1/2) [x1
(y2 – y3 ) + x2 (y3 – y1 ) + x3(y1 – y2)] = 0 and the points P(x1, y1), Q(x2, y2) and R(x3,
y3)are collinear.
What is Locus?
A locus is a group of points whose locations are determined by specific restrictions.
Take the Southwest range, which has hosted multiple campaigns for independence, as
an example. In this sense, the locus is defined as the center of any location.
32
The Locus of Points
In geometry, the locus of points determines a shape. Assume that a circle is the
location of all points that are equidistant from the centre. Similarly, the locus of the
points defines various forms such as an ellipse, parabola, hyperbola, and so on.
Locus Theorem 1:
The locus is conceptualized as a circle with "p" as its center and "d" as its diameter,
located at a specific distance "d" from a point "p."
The region created by all points that are the same distance apart from a single point
can be found with the help of this theorem.
Locus Theorem 2:
A pair of parallel lines on either side of "m" at a distance "d" from the line "m" is the
definition of the locus at a given distance "d" from the line "m."
This theorem helps find the area generated by each point put at an equal distance from
a single line.
Locus Theorem 3:
The loci that are perpendicular bisectors of the line segment that connects two
locations, let's say A and B, are considered to be equally spaced from each other.
By applying this theorem, one can determine the region made up of all points that are
the same distance from points A and B. The perpendicular bisector of line segment
AB should be the produced region.
Locus Theorem 4:
A locus is considered to be parallel to both lines if it is equally spaced from them,
such as m1 and m2. It should be located midway between them.
The application of this theorem allows one to determine the region comprised of all
points that are equally spaced from two parallel lines.
33
Locus Theorem 5:
The point that lies inside an angle and is equally spaced from its sides is known as the
bisector of an angle.
This theorem allows one to determine the area generated by all points equally spaced
from both sides of an angle. The region must divide the angle in half.
Locus Theorem 6:
A pair of lines that bisects the angle created by the two intersecting lines, m1 and m2,
is defined as the locus that is equidistant from them.
The area formed by all points positioned at equal distances from the two crossing
lines can be found with the help of this theorem. Two lines that split the generated
angle should represent the created area.

A straight line' slope and intercept are represented by the equation , in
which m stands for the line's slope and b for the y-intercept. Finding the link between
the variables x and y is one usage for this form.
Properties of Straight Lines:
Parallel Lines:If two lines do not intersect and have the same slope, they are said
to be parallel. It is simple to ascertain whether two lines are parallel using the
slope-intercept form.
Perpendicular Lines:The slope of a line perpendicular to another line is equal to
its negative reciprocal, and two lines are perpendicular if the product of their
slopes equals -1.
Distance between a Point and a Line: The distance between a point and
a line is given by the formula
d=| |/√
Analysing straight lines involves studying their slope, intercepts, intersections, and
other geometric properties. These concepts are essential in various areas, such as
coordinate geometry, calculus, physics, and engineering, as they provide a foundation
for understanding and solving problems involving linear relationships and motion in
the plane.
35
Properties of the slope:
An upward or rising line is shown by a positive slope (m > 0).
A downhill or falling line is shown by a negative slope (m < 0).
A horizontal line is represented with a slope of zero (m = 0).
A vertical line is represented by an undefinable slope.
Y-Intercept (b):
The point on the y-axis where the line intersects is known as the y-intercept. The
constant term "b" in the equation represents the y-intercept in the slope-
intercept form. When x = 0, it indicates the y-coordinate of the place on the y-axis
where the line crosses.
We can graph a line and find its equation with ease by using the slope and y-intercept.
We may plot the y-intercept as a point on the y-axis and use the slope to locate further
points on the line given the slope and the y-intercept . We may create the line
graph by joining these points.
The slope-intercept form comes in handy especially when:
Calculating a slope of line and y-intercept.
Plotting the y-intercept and utilizing the slope to discover additional points
allows you to graph lines.
Examining the correlation between variables x and y.
Resolving issues in physics, engineering, and economics that include linear
equations and lines.
Understanding the slope-intercept form allows us to interpret the properties and
characteristics of a straight line, including its direction, steepness, and intersection
with the y-axis. It provides a versatile tool for representing and analysing linear
relationships in analytical plane geometry.

properties and characteristics of the line. They represent the constants that define the
line's position and orientation in the coordinate plane.
2. A and B coefficients:
The coefficients A and B in the equation represent the slope of the line. More
specifically, the negative ratio A/B gives the slope of the line. The sign of the
coefficients determines the direction of the line:
An upward-sloping line from left to right is represented by a positive value of
A
An downward-sloping line from left to right is represented by a negative value
of A.
An upward-sloping line from bottom to top is represented by a positive
number for B, and a downward-sloping line from bottom to top is represented
by a negative value for B.
3. C coefficient:
The C coefficient in the equation is the constant term. It affects the position of the line
relative to the origin (0, 0) and the distance of the line from the origin. The value of C
determines the line's intercept with the y-axis. Specifically, C/B gives the y-intercept
of the line.
Properties and applications of the general equation of the first degree:
● Slope: The equation allows us to find the slope of the line by comparing the
coefficients A and B.
● Parallel and perpendicular lines: Two lines with the same coefficients A and B
are parallel, while two lines with negative reciprocal coefficients (-B and A)
are perpendicular.
● Distance between a point and a line: Using the formula, one may determine
the distance between a and the line .
37
d=| |/√
The general equation of the first degree is a powerful tool in analytical plane
geometry, allowing us to represent and analyse straight lines. By examining the
coefficients and understanding their significance, we can gain insights into the line's
slope, intercepts, and relationship with other lines.

4.1 Limit of functions
In differential calculus, the limit of a function is a fundamental concept to describe
behaviour of a function at a specific value. A limit is denoted using notation
"lim(x→c) f(x) = L," where f(x) is the function, c is the value the input is
approaching, and L is the limit value.
To calculate the limit of a function, consider values of function as the input
approaches the given value. Here are some common types of limits and their
evaluation methods:
Finite Limits:
Direct Substitution: If substituting the value of c into the function gives a finite value,
then that value is the limit.
Example: lim(x→3) (2x - 1) = 2(3) - 1 = 5.
Factorization and Simplification: Factor or simplify the expression and evaluate the
limit.
Example: lim(x→2) (x^2 - 4) / (x - 2) = lim(x→2) (x + 2) = 4.
Infinite Limits:
Division by Zero: If the function approaches infinity or negative infinity as the
denominator approaches zero, then the limit is infinite.
Example: lim(x→0) 1/x = ∞ (approaches positive infinity).
Vertical Asymptotes: If the function tends to positive or negative infinite then the
limit is infinite.
Example: lim(x→∞) (2x + 1) = ∞ (approaches positive infinity).
Limits at Infinity:
Horizontal Asymptotes: If the function approaches a specific value as the input goes
to positive or negative infinity, then that value is the limit.
Example: lim(x→∞) (3x^2 + 2x - 1) / (2x^2 - x + 1) = 3/2 (approaches 3/2).
Trigonometric Limits:
Special Limits: Certain trigonometric limits have specific values.
Example: lim(x→0) sin(x) / x = 1 (Squeeze theorem).

These are just a few examples of the methods used to evaluate limits. In practice,
there are various algebraic techniques, rules, and theorems that aid in evaluating limits
of more complex functions.
43
Example: For f(x) = sin(x2) f'(x) = cos(x2)*2x
44
f'(g(x)) * g'(x)
Here's an example to illustrate the chain rule:
Let the f(x) = (2x + 1)^3. We can write it as f(u) = u^3, where u = 2x + 1. Now, let's
differentiate f(x) by use of chain rule:
Step 1: The derivative of f(u) = u^3f'(u) = 3u^2.
Step 2: Evaluate derivative of inner function u = 2x + 1 with respect to x. We get
du/dx = 2.
Step 3: Apply the chain rule formula: f'(x) = f'(u) * du/dx.
Substituting the values we found in steps 1 and 2, we get:
f'(x) = 3u^2 * 2
Now, substitute the value of u back into the expression:
f'(x) = 3(2x + 1)^2 * 2
Simplifying further, we obtain:
So, derivative of
The chain rule provides us to differentiate the function that involve compositions of
other functions. It is a powerful tool in calculus that helps us handle more complex
functions and analyse their rates of change. By understanding and applying the chain
rule, we can find the derivatives of functions with nested functions, exponential
functions, trigonometric functions, and more.
4.4 Summary
Differential calculus is a field of mathematics that studies derivatives and their
applications. It is an effective technique for determining the rate of changes and the
attributes of function.
The limit of a function is the first essential idea in differential calculus. The limit of a
function indicates the function's behaviour when the input approaches a specific
value. It is symbolised by the symbol "lim" and is stated in terms of the function's
values when the input approaches the provided value arbitrarily near. Limits enable us
to investigate the behaviour of functions at certain points and establish their continuity
and differentiability.
45
The differential coefficient, commonly known as the derivative, is the next crucial
notion. The derivative is represented by several notations, including f'(x), dy/dx, and
df/dx. It may be calculated using formulae and rules tailored to various sorts of
functions.
Finding the derivatives of fundamental functions like polynomials, exponential
functions, logarithmic functions, and trigonometric functions is what differentiation of
standard functions entails. Each function type has its own set of differentiation rules
and formulae.By using the proper rule depending on the function's form, we may get
the derivative of any given function.
The chain rule is an important idea in differential calculus since it allows differentiate
composite functions. It is used when one function is contained ineach other.
4.5 Keywords
Limit of functions: Represents behaviour of the function as the input approaches a
particular value. It is a fundamental concept in differential calculus and is denoted by
the symbol "lim". The limit allows us to analyse the behaviour of functions near
certain points and determine their continuity and differentiability.
Chain rule:The "chain rule" typically refers to fundamental rule, which is used for
evaluation the differentiation of composite functions. However, there isn't a specific
"chain rule of differential equations" in the same sense.
In the context of differential equations, the chain rule from calculus is often used
when dealing with functions of functions, particularly when solving ordinary or
partial differential equations involving compositions of functions.

Continue taking derivatives of the function obtained in the previous step. Each time,
we differentiate with respect to x. The 2nd differentiation as f''(x) or d^2y/dx^2, the
3rdderivative as f'''(x) or d^3y/dx^3, and so on.
Step 4: Analyse the higher-order derivatives.
Once we have obtained higher-order derivatives, we can analyse the properties of the
function based on these derivatives. For example, we can determine the concavity and
inflection points of the function using the second derivative test.
Successive differentiation is useful in a variety of applications, including
optimization, curve drawing, and Taylor series expansion. It gives more precise
information about a function's behaviour, allowing us to examine its rate of change
and curvature at various points. By locating higher-order derivatives, we gain insight
into the function's local and global behaviour and can make more accurate predictions
about its properties.
5.5 Summary
Differentiation is a fundamental topic in calculus that involves determining a
function's rate of change. While traditional differentiation techniques are usually
employed for explicit functions, there are a number of specialised approaches
available for dealing with more complicated circumstances. Differentiation of implicit
functions, logarithmic differentiation, parametric differentiation, and sequential
differentiation are four such approaches.
52
When a function is defined parametrically, meaning it is stated in terms of one or
more parameters, parametric differentiation is used. We may obtain the differentiation
of dependent variables in regard to independent variable by differentiating each
parameter with respect to the independent variable and applying the chain rule.

6.6 Summary
Integral Calculus addresses the process of learning integration, which is
differentiation inverted. It is concerned with determining anti-derivatives and
assessing definite integrals. Fundamental concepts in Integral Calculus include
integration as a reverse of differentiation, indefinite integrals of standard forms,
integration by parts, partial fractions, substitution, and the formal evaluation of
definite integrals.
Ruling the anti-derivative of a function is what integration as the inverse of
differentiation entails. By integrating, we may reconstruct the original function from
its derivative. The indefinite integral symbol represents this operation, and the anti-
derivative is derived by adding an integration constant.
The integration of common functions is referred to as indefinite integrals of standard
forms. For integrating standard forms, well-known formulas exist, such as power,
exponential, logarithmic, trigonometric, and inverse trigonometric functions. These
formulae give a methodical approach to locating anti-derivatives.
Integration by parts is a technique for combining the results of two functions. It is
depended on the multiple rule of differentiation and entails choosing one function as
and the other as then using the integration by parts procedure to produce the integral.
Integration by partial fractions is a process for breaking down a rational function into
smaller fractions. When integrating rational functions with denominators that may be
factored into linear or quadratic terms, this approach comes in handy.
Integration by substitution, also identified as variable change, is the progression of
replacing a new variable in an integral to simplify its form. This approach allows the
integral to be transformed into a known form or a complex integral to be reduced to a
simpler one.
Calculating the value of a definite integral over a specified interval is what formal
evaluation of definite integrals entails. This is accomplished by determining the
function's anti-derivative and evaluating it at the upper limit and lower limit of
integration, then subtracting the two results to produce the numerical value of the
definite integral.

7.5 Summary.
Differential equations are mathematical formulas that use derivatives to explain the
relationship between a function and its derivatives. Ordinary differential equations
(ODEs) are used to solve functions with a single variable. ODEs are created by
expressing the derivatives of an unknown function in terms of the independent
variable and the function itself. ODEs of first order and first degree involve the first
derivative of an unknown function. Variable separable is a method for solving ODEs
in which the variables may be separated on either side of the problem. It entails
decoupling the variables, integrating both sides, and arriving at a general solution.
