Triangles Points to Remember

• A triangle is formed by three line segments obtained by joining three pairs of points taken from a set of three non-collinear points in a plane. A triangle has three vertices, three sides & three angles.
  A triangle ABC is denoted by ΔABC

• Criteria for congruence of triangles.
  Congruence of triangle.
  The geometrical figures of same shape & size are congruent to each other i.e., two Δles ΔABC & ΔPQR are congruent if and only if their corresponding sides & the corresponding angles are equal.

• If two triangles ΔABC & ΔPQR are congruent under the correspondence A → P, B → Q & C → R, then symbolically it is expressed as ΔABC ≅ ΔPQR
• SAS congruence Rule:
  Two triangles are congruent if two sides & the included angle of one triangle are equal to the sides & the included angle of the other triangle.
• ASA congruence Rule: Two triangles are congruent if two angles & the included side of one triangle are equal to two angles & the included side of the other triangle.
• AAS congruence Rule :
  Two triangles are congruent if any two pairs of angles & one pair of corresponding sides are equal.
• SSS congruence Rule:
  If three sides of a triangle are equal to the three sides of another triangle, then the two triangles are congruent.
• RHS congruence Rule:
  If in two right triangles, the hypotenuse & one side of a triangle are equal to the hypotenuse & one side of the other triangle then the two triangles are congruent.
  Note: It shall be noted that in SAS criteria the equality of included angles is very essential. If two sides & one angle (not included between the two sides) of one triangle are equal to two sides & one angle of the other triangle, then the triangles need not be congruent. So, the equal angle should be the angle included between the sides

• Some properties of triangles.
  A triangle is isosceles if any two sides are equal. Here, we prove some properties related to isosceles triangle.
  (1) Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal.
  In figure, \(\lfloor B\) = \(\lfloor C\)
  2) The sides opposite to equal angles of a triangle are equal.
  In figure, AB = AC

• In an isosceles triangle, bisector of the vertical angle of a triangle bisect the base.
• The medians of an equilateral triangle are equal in length.
• A point equidistance from two intersecting lines lies on the bisector of the angles formed by two lines.
  Inequalities of a triangle
• Angle opposite to the longer side is larger (greater)
• Side opposite to the larger (greater) angle is longer.
• Sum of any two sides is greater than the third side
  i. e., in ΔABC, AB + BC > CA
• Difference of any two sides of a triangle is less than
  the third side i.e., in ΔABC, AB – BC <CA

Solution:

Given : l and m are two parallel lines interested by another pair of parallel lines p & q.

To prove : ΔABC ≅ ΔCDA

Proof: AB || DC

& AD || BC

Quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram.

(a quadrilateral ABCD is a parallelogram, if both the pairs of opposite sides are parallel)

∴ BC = AD …………….(1)

∴ AB = CD ……………(2)

(opposite sides of a ||gm are equal)

(opposite angles of a ||gm are equal).

In ΔABC & ΔCDA

AB = CD from (2)

BC = DA from(1)

\(\lfloor\mathrm{ABC}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{CDA}\)from (3)

To prove: BC = DE

Proof: In ΔABC & ΔADE,

AB = AD (given)

AC = AE (given)

\(\lfloor\mathrm{BAD}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{EAC}\) (given)

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{BAD}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{DAC}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{DAC}\)+ \(\lfloor\mathrm{EAC}\)

(adding \(\lfloor\mathrm{DAC}\) to both sides)

=>\(\lfloor\mathrm{BAC}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{DAE}\)

∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔADE (SAS rule)

8. In right angle triangle ABC, right-angled at C, M is the midpoint of hypotenuse AB, C is joined to M & produced to a point D. Such that DM = CM. Point D is joined to point B show that
1) ΔAMC ≅ ΔBMD
2) \(\lfloor\mathrm{DBC}\) is a right-angled
3) ΔDBC ≅ ΔACB
4) CM = 1/2AB.

Solution:

Given: In right triangle ABC, right angled at C, M is the mid-point of hypotenuse AB. C is joined to M & produced to a point D. Such that DM = CM, Point D is joined to Point B.

To prove : 1) ΔAMC ≅ ΔBMD

2) \(\lfloor\mathrm{DBC}\) is a right angle

3) ADBC ≅ AACB

4) CM = 1/2AB

Proof: 1) In ΔAMC & ΔBMD

AM = BM (M is the midpoint of the hypotenuse AB)

CM = DM (given)

\(\lfloor\mathrm{AMC}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{BMD}\) (vertically opposite angle) (SAS rule)

∴ ΔAMC ≅ ΔBMD

2) ΔAMC ≅ ΔBMD (from(1) above)

∴\(\lfloor\mathrm{ACM}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{BDM}\) (CPCT)

but these are alternate interior angles and they are equal.

AC || BD

Now, AC || BD & a transversal BC intersects them

∴ \(\lfloor\mathrm{DBC}\)+\(\lfloor\mathrm{ACB}\) = 180°

(The sum of the consecutive interior angles on the same side of a transversal is 180°)

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{DBC}\) + 90° = 180°

(∵ \(\lfloor\mathrm{ACB}\) = 90° given)

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{DBC}\)-180 – 90 – 90°

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{DBC}\) is a right angle.

3) In ΔDBC & ΔACB

\(\lfloor\mathrm{DBC}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{ACB}\)(each = 90°)

(proved in (2) above)

BC = CB (common)

ΔAMC ≅ ΔBMD (proved in (1) above)

∴ AC = BD (CPCT)

ΔDBC ≅ ΔACB (SAS rule)

4) ΔDBC ≅ ΔACD (proved in (3) above)

∴ DC = AB  (CPCT)

=> 2CM = AB (∵ DM = CM = 1/2 DC)

=> CM = 1/2AB

Proof: 1) AB = AC (given)

\(\lfloor B\) = \(\lfloor C\) (Angles opposite to equal sides of a triangle are equal)

1/2\(\lfloor B\)=1/2\(\lfloor C\)

\(\lfloor\mathrm{OBC}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{OCB}\) (∵ BO & CO are the

bisectors of \(\lfloor B\) & \(\lfloor C\) respectively)

∴ OB = OC

(sides opposite to equal angles of triangles are equal)

2) In ΔOAB & ΔOAC

AB = AC (given)

OB = OC (proved in (1) above)

OA = OA (common)

\(\lfloor B\) = \(\lfloor C\)(Angles opposite to equal sides of a Δle are equal)

1/2\(\lfloor B\) = 1/2\(\lfloor C\)

∴ \(\lfloor\mathrm{ABO}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{ACO}\) (∵ BO & CO are the

bisectors of \(\lfloor B\) & \(\lfloor C\) respectively)

\(\lfloor\mathrm{OAB}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{OAC}\) (CPCT)

\(\lfloor\mathrm{ABC}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{CDB}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{ACB}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{ACD}\)

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{ABC}\)+\(\lfloor\mathrm{CDB}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{BCD}\) ……………….(3)

In ΔBCD

\(\lfloor\mathrm{BCD}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{DBC}\)+ \(\lfloor\mathrm{CDB}\) = 180° (sum of all the angles of a is 180°)

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{BCD}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{ABC}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{CDB}\) = 180°

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{BCD}\)+ \(\lfloor\mathrm{BCD}\) =180° (using(3))

Solution: Let ABC be a right-angled triangle in which \(\lfloor B\) = 90°

then \(\lfloor A\) + \(\lfloor C\) = 90° (sum of all the angles of a Δle is 180°)

\(\lfloor\mathrm{BAC}\)> \(\lfloor\mathrm{BCA}\) (angle opposite to longer ……………(1)side is greater)

In ΔACD

CD > AD (∵ CD is the longest side of quadrilateral ABCD)

∴ \(\lfloor\mathrm{CAD}\) > \(\lfloor\mathrm{ACD}\) (angle opposite to longer side is greater) from(l) & (2), we obtain

\(\lfloor\mathrm{BAC}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{CAD}\) > \(\lfloor\mathrm{BCA}\)+ \(\lfloor\mathrm{ACD}\)

5. In figure, PR > PQ & PS bisects \(\lfloor\mathrm{QPR}\). Prove that \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSR}\) > \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSQ}\)

Solution:

Given: In figure, PR > PQ & PS bisects \(\lfloor\mathrm{QPR}\)

To prove : \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSR}\) > \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSQ}\)

Proof: In ΔPQR

PR>PQ (given)

∴ \(\lfloor\mathrm{PQR}\) > \(\lfloor\mathrm{PRQ}\) ………………..(1) (angle opposite to the longer side is greater)

PS bisects \(\lfloor\mathrm{QPR}\)

∴ \(\lfloor\mathrm{QPS}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{RPS}\) ……………….(2)

In ΔPQS

\(\lfloor\mathrm{PQR}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{QPS}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSQ}\) = 180° ………………..(3)

(angle sum property of a Δle)

In ΔPRS

\(\lfloor\mathrm{PRS}\)+\(\lfloor\mathrm{SPR}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSR}\) = 180° ……………….(4)

(Angle sum property of a Δle) from (3) & (4) we get

\(\lfloor\mathrm{PQR}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{QPS}\)+ \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSQ}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{PRS}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{SPR}\)+

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{PQR}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSQ}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{PRS}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSR}\)

(∵ \(\lfloor\mathrm{QPS}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{SPR}\))

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{PRS}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSR}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{PQR}\)+ \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSQ}\)

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{PRS}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSR}\) > \(\lfloor\mathrm{PRQ}\)+ \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSQ}\)(from(1))

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{PRQ}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSR}\) > \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSR}\)+ \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSQ}\)

(∵ \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSQ}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSR}\))

6. Show that of all line segments drawn from a given point not on it, the perpendicular line segment is the shortest.

Solution: Let l is a line & P is a point not lying on l , PM ⊥ l N is any point on l other than M.

Proof: In ΔPMN

\(\lfloor M\) = 90°

∴ \(\lfloor N\) is an acute angle

(angle sum property of a Δle)

\(\lfloor M\) >\(\lfloor N\)

PN > PM (side opposite to greater angle is greater)

Three Mark Questions

1. In figure PQRS is a square & SRT is an equilateral triangle. Prove that
1) PT = QT
2) \(\lfloor\mathrm{TQR}\) =15°

Solution: 1) SRT is an equilateral Δle.

\(\lfloor\mathrm{PSR}\) = 90°, \(\lfloor\mathrm{TSR}\) – 60°

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{PSR}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{TSR}\)=150°

||ly \(\lfloor\mathrm{QRT}\) = 150°

In ΔPST & ΔQRT

PS = QR

\(\lfloor\mathrm{PST}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{QRT}\) = 150°

ST = RT (sides of equilateral Δle)

ΔPST ≅ ΔQRT (by SAS rule)

=> PT=QT (byCPCT)

2) In ΔTQR

Square & equilateral Δle on same base)

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{TQR}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{QTR}\) = x

∴ x + x+\(\lfloor\mathrm{QRT}\)= 180°

=> x=(180-150)/2

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{TQR}\) = x =30/2=15°

2. In the figure, prove that CD+DA+AB+BC > 2AC.

Solution: In ΔABC

3. PQR is a Δle in which PQ = PR. S is any point on the side PQ, through S, a line is drawn parallel to QR intersecting PR at T. Prove that PS = PT.

Solution: PQ = PR

\(\lfloor\mathrm{PQR}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{PRQ}\)(angles opp. to p equal sides are equal)

ST || QR

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{PST}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{PQR}\)(corresponding angles)

∴ \(\lfloor\mathrm{PTS}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{PRQ}\)(corresponding angles)

\(\lfloor\mathrm{PST}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{PTS}\)

4. In the given figure, AD = BD, prove that BD < AC

Solution:

AD = BD

\(\lfloor\mathrm{ABD}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{DAB}\) = 59° (anglesopp. to equal sides are equal)

In ΔABD

but \(\lfloor 1\) = \(\lfloor 2\) (given)

=> 12 = 14

In ΔDAC & ΔODB \(\lfloor 3\) = \(\lfloor 4\)

\(\lfloor\mathrm{AOC}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{DOB}\) (verticallyopp. angle)

OA = OD (given)

∴ ΔOAC ≅ ΔODB (by AS A rule)

OC = OB (C.P.C.T.)

=> ΔOCB is an isosceles triangle.

In ΔAOD & ΔBOC

\(\lfloor\mathrm{AOD}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{BOC}\) (V.O.A)

\(\lfloor\mathrm{DAO}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{CBO}\) = 90° (given)

AD = BC (given)

=> OA = OB

ie, O is the mid point of AB Hence CD bisects AB.

2) Equality is the sign of democracy.

7. l & m are two parallel equal lines intersected by another pair of parallel lines p & q. Show that ΔABC ≅ ΔCD A

Solution: l and m are two parallel equal lines intersected by another pair of parallel lines p & q.

Now in ΔABC & ΔCDA

AB = CD

BC =AD

∴ ΔABC ≅ ΔCDA (by SSS rule)

Four Mark Questions

1. If two parallel lines are intersected by a transversal then prove that bisectors of the interior angles form a rectangle

Solution: \(\lfloor\mathrm{AGH}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{HGD}\) (Alternate angle)

=> 1/2\(\lfloor\mathrm{AGH}\) = 1/2\(\lfloor\mathrm{GHD}\)

=> \(\lfloor 1\) =\(\lfloor 2\)

GM II LH

|| ly GL || MH

=> GMHL is a parallelogram

\(\lfloor\mathrm{BGH}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{GHD}\) = 180°

=> 1/2\(\lfloor\mathrm{BGH}\) + 1/2\(\lfloor\mathrm{GHD}\) = 90°

=> \(\lfloor 3\) + \(\lfloor 2\) = 90°

In ΔGLH

\(\lfloor\mathrm{GLH}\) = 180 — (\(\lfloor 2\)+ \(\lfloor 3\)) =180-90

\(\lfloor\mathrm{GLH}\) = 90°

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{GMH}\) = 90°

So \(\lfloor\mathrm{MGL}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{GLH}\) = 180°

=>\(\lfloor\mathrm{MGL}\) +90°= 180°

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{MGL}\) = 90°

\(\lfloor\mathrm{BOC}\) = 90°-1/2\(\lfloor\mathrm{BAC}\)

Solution: As \(\lfloor\mathrm{ABC}\) & \(\lfloor\mathrm{CBE}\) form a linear pair.

\(\lfloor\mathrm{ABC}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{CBE}\) = 180°

BO is the bisector of \(\lfloor\mathrm{CBE}\)

\(\lfloor\mathrm{CBE}\)= 2\(\lfloor 1\)\(\lfloor\mathrm{ABC}\)+ 2\(\lfloor 1\) = 180°

=> 2\(\lfloor 1\) = 180°-\(\lfloor\mathrm{ABC}\)

=> \(\lfloor 1\) = 90°-1/2\(\lfloor\mathrm{ABC}\) ……………..(1)

Again, \(\lfloor\mathrm{ACB}\)& \(\lfloor\mathrm{BCD}\) form a linear pair.

\(\lfloor\mathrm{ACB}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{BCD}\) = 180°

As CO if the bisector of \(\lfloor\mathrm{BCD}\)

\(\lfloor 2\) = 90°-1/2\(\lfloor\mathrm{ACB}\) ……………(2)

In ΔOBC, we have

\(\lfloor 1\) + \(\lfloor 2\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{BOC}\) = 180° …………….(3)

from (1), (2) & (3) we have

90- 1/2\(\lfloor\mathrm{ABC}\) + 90-1/2\(\lfloor\mathrm{ACB}\) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{BOC}\) = 180° ……………….(4)

Now in AABC we have \(\lfloor A\)+\(\lfloor B\) + \(\lfloor C\)=180°

\(\lfloor B\)+ \(\lfloor C\)=180°-\(\lfloor A\) …………………(5)

from equations (4) & (5), we have

180 – 1/2(180°-\(\lfloor A\)) + \(\lfloor\mathrm{BOC}\) = 180°

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{BOC}\) = 180-180 +1/2(180-\(\lfloor A\))

\(\lfloor\mathrm{BOC}\) = 1/2(180-\(\lfloor A\))

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{BOC}\)=90-1/2\(\lfloor A\)

3. In figure, ABCD is a square & EF is parallel to diagonal BD & EM = FM. Prove that
1) DF = BE

Solution:

1) EF || BD

=> \(\lfloor 1\) = \(\lfloor 2\) [corresponding angles ]

\(\lfloor 3\) = \(\lfloor 4\)

but\(\lfloor 2\)= \(\lfloor 4\)

∴ \(\lfloor 3\) = \(\lfloor 1\)

=> FC = EC (sides opp. to equal angle)

CD – FC = CB – CE

=>  DF = BE

AD =AB

\(\lfloor D\) = \(\lfloor B\) = 90°

∴ ΔADF = ΔABE(by SAS rule)

\(\lfloor 5\) = \(\lfloor 6\)

2) In ΔAMF & ΔAME

AF = AE

AM = AM (common)

FM = EM (given)

ΔAMF = ΔAME (by SSS rule)

\(\lfloor 7\) + \(\lfloor 5\) = \(\lfloor 8\)+ \(\lfloor 6\)

=> \(\lfloor\mathrm{MAD}\) = \(\lfloor\mathrm{MAB}\)

=> \(\lfloor 4\) > \(\lfloor 3\)

In ΔADC

\(\lfloor 3\)>\(\lfloor 2\)

∴ \(\lfloor 4\)>\(\lfloor 3\)>\(\lfloor 2\)

=> \(\lfloor 4\)>\(\lfloor 2\)

In ΔBLC & ΔMCL

BL = MC (given)

\(\lfloor\mathrm{BLC}\)= \(\lfloor\mathrm{MCL}\) = 90°

LC = CL ……………(3)

=> BC = ML(CPCT)

In ΔABC & ΔNML

AB=NM (proved in (1))

AC = NL (proved in (2))

BC = ML (proved in (3)

KSEEB Solutions For Class 9 Maths Chapter 2 Polynomials Points to Remember

• The algebraic expression in which variables involved have only non-negative integral exponent is called polynomial. A polynomial p(a) in one variable x is an algebraic expression in a of the form
  \(\mathrm{p}(x)=\)  \(\begin{gathered}
  a_n x^n+a_{n-1} x^{n-1}+a_{n-2} x^{n-2}+……… \\
  +a_2 x^2+a_1 x+a_0
  \end{gathered}\)
  where \(a_0, a_1, a_2 \ldots \ldots \ldots \ldots a_n\)are constant &\(a_n \neq 0, a_0, a_1, a_2\) are respectively the coefficients of \(x^0, x^1, x^2\)……\(x^n\) & n is called the
  degree of the polynomial.
• A polynomial of degree zero is called a constant polynomial
  Ex: 4, \(\frac{-7}{5}, \frac{3}{4}\)are constant polynomials.
• A polynomial having all coefficients zero is called a zero polynomial. Also, the constant polynomial is called the zero polynomial & the degree of the zero polynomial is not defined.
• Highest power of variable in a polynomial is called the degree of polynomial.
• In polynomial of one variable, the highest power of the variable is called the degree of the polynomialEx: 1) \(4 x^7-5 x^3-4 x^2+3 x-6\) is a polynomial in x of degree 7.
  2) \(\sqrt{5} x^2+5 \sqrt{5} x+7\) is a polynomial in x of degree x.
• In polynomial of more than one variable, the sum of the powers of the variable in each term is taken up & the highest sum so obtained is called the degree of the polynomial.
  Ex: \(6 y^3-5 x^2 y^2+4 x^2 y-3 y+9\) is a polynomial in x & y of degree 4.
• A polynomial of one non-zero term is called a monomial.
  Ex:\(3 x,-6 x^2, 7 x^3\) etc
• A polynomial of two non-zero terms is called a binomial.
  Ex:\(6 x^2+12, \quad 6 x^2+6 \sqrt{5} x\)
• A polynomial of three, non-zero terms is called a trinomial.
  Ex:\(\left(y^2+2 y+6\right),\left(4 x^2+5 \sqrt{3} x+\sqrt{5}\right)\)
• A polynomial of degree 1 is called a linear polynomial, It is expressed in the form of ax+b, where a & b are real constants & \(a \neq 0\).
  Ex:\(3 x+6\) is a linear polynomial in A.
• A polynomial of degree 2 is called a quadratic polynomial. It is expressed in the form of \(a x^2+b x+c\) where a, b & c are real constant &\(a \neq 0\).
  Ex:\(\frac{7}{5} y^2+3 y-2\)
• A Polynomial of degree 3 is called a cubic polyno-mial. It is expressed in the form \(a x^3+b x^2+c x+d\), where a, b, c & d are real constant & \(a \neq 0\)
• Zeroes of a polynomial p(a) is a number c, such that p(c) = 0
  – ‘O’ may be a zero of a polynomial
  – Every linear po lynomial in one variable has a unique zero.
  – A non-zero constant po lynomial has no zero.
  – Every real number is a zero of the zero poly­nomial
  – Maximum number of zeroes of a polynomial is equal to its degree.

Remainder theorem:

Let p(x) & g(x) be two polynomials such that the degree of p(x) is equal to or greater than the de­gree of g(x) & g(x) * 0, then, we can find out two polynomials q(x) & r (x) such that

p(x) = g(x) q(x) + r(x) where
r(x) = 0 or degree of r(x) is less than degree of g(4)

The other way round, we can say that on dividing p(x) by g(x), we get q(x) as the quotient & r(x) as the remainder.

Formulatically:
Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder

Remainder theorem:

On dividing the polynomial p(x) of degree one or more than one by a linear polynomial x – a, the re­mainder obtained is p(a), where a is a real number.

Proof:

Suppose that when we divide p(x) by x – a, the quotient is q(x) & the remainder is r(x)

Then p(x) = (x- a) q(x) + r(x)
∴ degree of x – a is one & degree of r(x) is less than the degree (x – a)  ,
∴ degree of r(x) = 0
=> r(x) is a constant, say r
\(\mathrm{p}(x)=(x-a) \mathrm{q}(x)+\mathrm{r}\)
put x=a,we get
p(a)=r

This proves the theorem.

Number of Systems Points To Remember

Any number that can be expressed in the form p/ q, where p & q are both integers & q * 0 is called a rational number usually, we take q>0, while p may be positive, negative or zero.
Rational numbers do not have a unique representation.

For example \( \frac{1}{3}=\frac{2}{6}=\frac{7}{21}=\frac{30}{90}\)  etc

•  Every rational number can be written in the form p/ q, where p, q are integers, q ≠ 0, p, q have no common factors (except 1). It is called in the lowest terms or simplest form.
• A number that cannot be expressed in the form p/q, where p, q are integers, q ≠ 0, p, q have no common factors (except l)is called an irrational number

For example  \( \sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3}, \sqrt{6},-\sqrt{7}, 2-\sqrt{5}, \pi\) all irrational number.

The decimal expansion of a rational number is either terminating or non-terminating recurring (repeating), conversely, a number whose decimal expansion is terminating or non-terminating recurring is rational.

The decimal expansion of a rational number p/q, where p, q are integers, q>0, p & q have no common factors except 1 is:
1) Terminating if prime factors of q are 2 or 5 or both.
2) Non-terminating recurring if q has a prime factor other than 2 or 5.

The decimal expansion of an irrational number is non-terminating and non-recurring. Conversely, a number whose decimal expansion is non-terminating, and non-recurring is irrational.

• All rational numbers & all irrational numbers are real numbers. The collection of real numbers is denoted by R.
• Every real number (rational or irrational) can be represented by a unique point on the number line. Conversely, every point on the number line represents a unique real number.
• If m is rational & n is irrational, then m+n, m – n & n- mare irrational numbers.
• If m is a nonzero rational number & n is an irrational number, \(\frac{m}{n} \text { and } \frac{n}{m}\) — and — are irrational numbers.
• If a and b are positive real numbers, then the following results hold.

1) \(\sqrt{a b}=\sqrt{a} \sqrt{b} \\\)
2) \( \sqrt{\frac{a}{b}}=\frac{\sqrt{a}}{\sqrt{b}} \\\)
3) \((\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b})(\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b})=a-b \\\)
4) \((\sqrt{a}+\sqrt{b})^2=a+2 \sqrt{a b}+b \\\)
5) \((\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b})^2=a-2 \sqrt{a b}+b \\\)
6) \((a+\sqrt{b})(a-\sqrt{b})=a^2-b\)

• If the product of two irrational numbers is a rational number, then each number is called the rationalising factor of the other number.
• The process of multiplying an irrational number by its rationalising factor is called rationalisation.

[Hint: Study the remainders while finding the value of \(\frac{1}{7}\) carefully] 

Solution: yes! we can predict the decimal expansions of \(\frac{2}{7}, \frac{3}{7}, \frac{4}{7}, \frac{5}{7}, \frac{6}{7}\) without actually doing the long division as follows:

To predict the decimal expansion of \(\frac{2}{7}\), locate when the remainder becomes 2 & respective quotient (here it is 2). Then write the new quotient beginning from
there using the repeating digits 1,4,2,8,5,7.

3. Express the following in the form \(p / q\) , where p & q are integers & q≠0
1) \(0 . \overline{6}\)
2) \(0.4 \overline{7}\)
3) \(0 . \overline{001}\)

Solution: 1) \(0 . \overline{6}\)  = Let x =  \(0 . \overline{6}=0.6666 \ldots\)

Multiplying both sides by 10 (since one digit is repeating) we get

Thus, \(0 . \overline{6}=\frac{2}{3}\)

Here, P = 2,  q=3(≠0)

2) \(0.4 \overline{7}\) = Let \(x=0.4 \overline{7}=0.47777 \ldots \ldots\)

Multiplying both sides by 10 (since one digit is repeating), we get

Thus, \(0.4 \overline{7}=\frac{43}{90}\)

Here P = 43 & q = 90 (≠ 0)

3) \(0 . \overline{001}\) =Let \(x=0 . \overline{001}=0.001001001 \ldots \ldots\)

Multiplying both sides by 1000 (since three digits are repeating), we get

Thus, \(0 . \overline{001}=\frac{1}{999}\)

Here P = 1, q = 999(≠0)

4. Express 0.99999 in the form p/q. Are you surprised by your answer? With your teacher & classmates discuss why the answer makes sense.

Solution: Let x= 0.99999………..

Multiplying both sides by 10 (since one digit is repeating) we get

10x = 9.9999……..

10x =9 + 0.9999……..

10x=9 + x

10x – x = 9

9x = 9

Thus \(0.99999=1=\frac{1}{1}\)

Here P = 1, q = 1

Since 0.99999 goes on forever, so there is no gap between 1 & 0.99999… & hence they are equal.

5. What can the maximum number of digits be in the repeating block of digits in the decimal expansion of \(\frac{1}{17}\)? Perform the division to check your answer.

Solution: The Maximum number of digits in the repeating block of digits in the decimal expansion of \(\frac{1}{17}\) can be 16.

Thus \(\frac{1}{17}=0 . \overline{058823529411747}\)

By long division, the number of digits in the repeating block of digits in the decimal expansion of \(\frac{1}{17}=16\)

∴ The answer is verified.

6. Look at several examples of rational numbers in the form \(\frac{p}{q}(q \neq 0)\) where p & q are integers with no common factors other than 1 & having terminating decimal representations (expansions) can you guess what property q must satisfy?

Solution: Examples:

3. Show that : \(\frac{1}{1+x^{a-b}}+\frac{1}{1+x^{b-a}}=1\)

Solution: LHS = \(\frac{1}{1+x^{a-b}}+\frac{1}{1+x^{b-a}}\)

= 1

= RHS

Hence Proved

4. If \(x=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{3}}\) , find the value of \(2 x^3-2 x^2+7 x+5\)

Solution: Given: \(x=\frac{1}{2-\sqrt{3}}\)

Consider \(2 x^3-2 x^2+7 x+5\)

\(=2[8+3 \sqrt{3}+12 \sqrt{3}+18]-2(4+3+4 \sqrt{3})\)\(+14+7 \sqrt{3}+5\)

= \(16+6 \sqrt{3}+24 \sqrt{3}+36-8-6-8 \sqrt{3}\)\(+14+7 \sqrt{3}+5=29 \sqrt{3}+57\)

5. Two classmates Salma & Anand simplified two different expressions during the revision hour & explained to each other their simplifications. Salma explains the simplification of \(\frac{\sqrt{2}}{\sqrt{5}+\sqrt{3}}\) &Anand explains the simplification of \(\sqrt{28}+\sqrt{98}+\sqrt{147}\) write both the simplification. What value does it depict?

Solution: Justify:

Again, \(\sqrt{28}+\sqrt{98}+\sqrt{147}\)

value: cooperative learning among classmates without any gender & religious bias.

6. Simplify: 

1) \(\left\{5\left(8^{1 / 3}+27^{1 / 3}\right)^3\right\}^{1 / 4}\)

Solution: \(\left\{5\left(8^{\frac{1}{3}}+27^{\frac{1}{3}}\right)^3\right\}^{\frac{1}{4}}\)

=5

2) \(\frac{9^{1 / 3} \times 27^{1 / 2}}{3^{-1 / 6} \times 3^{1 / 3}}\)

Solution: \(\frac{9^{\frac{1}{3}}+27^{\frac{1}{2}}}{3^{\frac{-1}{6}} \times 3^{\frac{1}{3}}}\)

=9
