1, Natural Numbers:
The counting numbers are called natural numbers.
Thus, N = (1, 2, 3, 4,
2. Whole Numbers
} is the set of all natural numbers.
All counting numbers together with 0 form the set of all whole numbers.
Thus, W = (0, 1, 2, 3, 4.....} is the set of all whole numbers.
Clearly, every natural number is a whole number.
But, 0 is a whole number which is not a natural number,
3. Integers :
All natural numbers together with 0 and the negatives of all counting numbers form the set
of all integers , to be denoted by Z or I
Thus,Z={-~ -3,-2,-1,0,1,2,3--
{the set of all integers.
4. Fractions:
The numbers of the form 5, where a and b are natural numbers, are called fractions.

Properties of Rational Numbers
Consider the numbers 24 and 20
We know that 24>20.
Let us now add 3 to each term on both the sides of the inequality symbol.
We get 27 and 23
It is obvious that 27 > 23

Similarly, Consider 5 and We know that 5 > Z-

Now add = to both the rational numbers,

This process of selecting two rational numbers and finding their average can be continued
indefinitely so as to get infinitely many rational numbers which lie in between the given
rational numbers
Thus, between any two given rational numbers, there exist infinitely many rational numbers.
This property is called “denseness of rational numbers’.

Decimal representation of rational numbers:
Let us now learn to represent rational numbers as decimal numbers.
Let us recall that decimal numbers have two parts called the integral part and the decimal
part, Let us consider the decimal number 143.564782
143 564782
inagel Decal
Te mt
In the above decimal number there are 6 decimal places.
In earlier classes, we have learnt that a rational number is a number which can be expressed
in the form “where m and n are both integers and n «0. A rational number — is said to
be in its lowest terms, if n ¢N and m and n have no common factor other than 1. For
2712
22
example, 51g», ete are rational number in their lowest terms, whereas 35 is not in its
lowest terms.
m
A rational numbers — is a positive rational number if m and n are of the same sign. If m and.
nare such that one of them is positive and another one is negative, then the rational number
2 i

m
Recall that every integer m is also a rational number, as it can be written as
In earlier classes, we have learnt about the conversion of fractions into decimal numbers and
vice-versa. A rational number, like all fractions, can also be expressed as a decimal number.
The following illustrations will illustrate the same.

Terminating Decimals
P
In order to express a fraction { in decimal form, we divide p by q. If after a finite number of
steps, no remainder is left, then we call it a terminating decimal.
1 3 4 14
Ex: (i) —=0.25 (ji) —=0.375 (ii) 2= = — = 2.8 etc. are all examples of terminatin,
Be) aS v5 =F tc. are all examples of terminating
decimals.
Remark:
P
A fraction @ is terminating decimal only when prime factors of q are out of 2 and 5 only.
Ex: Without division, find out, which of the following fraction are terminating decimals.
8 a au
9 () 20 60
5
Sol. (i) In 5, we have denominator = 9. And, 9 has prime factor 3 only.

3 cannot be expressed as a terminating decimal
(i) In x we have denominator = 20, Prime factors of 20 are 2 and 5,

20
31 5
(ii) In Zp, the denominator = 60.Prime factors of 60 are 2, 3, 5
Thus, 60 has prime factors, other than 2 and 5.
31
- Zp cannot be expressed as a terminating decimal.
Repeating (or Recurring) Decimals
A decimal in which a digit or a set of digits repeats continually, is called a repeating or a
recurring or a periodic or a circulating decimal
‘www mercuryeducation.comI1T JEE- OLYMPIAD FOUNDATION, MATHEMATICS VOL-1-CLASS9
Ex ot 0.333... (i) 72 =3.142857142857
(ii) 3 =03666..... are all examples of repeating decimals.
Notation for a Repeating Decimal
(i) Ina repeating decimal, if only one digit is repeated, then a dot () or a bar (-) is placed
above it.
Ex.1: $= 0.666....=0.6 or 0.6
ut
Bx2: $=1.8333. 1.83 or 1.83
(ii) Ina repeating decimal, if two digits are repeated, then a dot (.) above each repeating digit
or a bar above both the digits is placed.
13
3B. 1181818...
er
1.18 0r1i
(iii) In a repeating decimal, if three or more digits are repeated then a dot is put on each of the
first and the last repeating digits or a bar is placed on entire period of repeating digits.
Ex. Baa 142857142867..... = 2.142857 = 2.142857
Observe the following from the above representation :
7 13
in =~ = 0.3181818... we observe that 18 is recurring. Similarly in
Ingy bserve that 18 1g Similarly in 7
= 0.295454... we observe
15
that 54 is recurring and in [= 2142857142857... we observe that 142857 is recurring, The
recurring digits 18, 54 and 142857 in the above representation are called periods.
In the recurring part of the decimal representation of a rational number, the number of digits
that repeat is called the periodic
+ Periods : The digits which are present in the recurring part is called the period of the
recurring decimals,
> Periodicity : The number of digits present in the recurring part i called the periodicity of the
recurring decimals.
Let us know about the types of repeating decimals.
Consider the decimals 97437 and 7.2356.
In 0.7437 itis clear that all the digits after the decimal point repeat continuously. Such decimals
are called pure repeating decimals.
(Ww: meruryeducation.som JooI1T JEE- OLYMPIAD FOUNDATION, MATHEMATICS VOL-1-CLASS9
In 7.2356, some digits after the decimal point do not repeat while some of them repeat. Such
decimals are called mixed repeating decimals.
} Ifall the digits after the decimal point repeat continuously, then that decimal is called
Pure repeating decimal
> Ifsome digits after the decimal point do not repeat and some digits repeat, then the decimal
is called Mixed repeating decimal
Irrational Numbers
A number which when expressed in decimal form is expressible as a non-terminating and
non-repeating decimal, is called an irrational number.
Ex. Every non-terminating and non-repeating decimal is irrational
eg. (i) 0.10110111011110..... is irrational
(ii) 0.535535553.... is irrational
(iii) 0.212212221.... is irrational ete.

Representing Rational Numbers on the number line
Number line is a geometrical straight line with arbitrarily defined zero,
We understand the concept with the help of following examples.
Represent 3.765 on the number line.
This number lies between 3 and 4, The distance 3 and 4 is divided into 10 equal parts. Then
the first mark to the right of 3 will represent 3.1 and second 3.2 and so on, Now, 3.765 lies
between 3.7 and 3.8. We divide the distance between 3.7 and 3.8 into 10 equal parts 3.76 will
be on the right of 3.7 at the sixth mark, and 3.77 will be on the right of 3.7 at the 7th mark and
3.765 will lie between 3.76 and 3.77 and so on.
3 37 38 -
32.33 34 35
370 80
To mark 3.765 we have to use magnifying glass method
Visualize the representation of 5,37 on the number line upto 5 decimal places.
We have, 537-5377
‘This number lies between 5.3 and 5.4. The distance between 5.3 and 5.4 is divided into 10
‘equal parts. Then the first mark to the right of 5.3 will represent 5.31 and second 5.32 and so
on. Now, 5.3777 lies between 5.37 and 5.38, We divide the distance between 5.37 and 5.38
into 10 equal parts and so on.I1T JEE- OLYMPIAD FOUNDATION, MATHEMATICS VOL-1-CLASS9

With O as centre & OB as radius, draw an arc, meeting OX at P. Then
OB =OP = v2 units
Then, the point P represents J on the number line.
Now draw, BC LOB such that BC = 1 unit, join OC. Then
OC = (V2) +(1) =F units
With O as centre & OC as radius, draw an arc, meeting OX at Q. Then OQ=OC= V3 units
Then, the point Q represents 3 on the number line.
Remark: In the same way, we can locate Jy for any positive integer n, after aT has been
located.
Existence of Jj for a positive real number

Scientific Notation :
Scientific notation is the way that scientists easily handle very large numbers or very small
numbes. For example, instead of writing 0.0000000056, we write 5,6x107. So, how does
thsi work ?
We can think of 5,610 as the product of two numbers : 5.6 (the digit term) and 19~* (the
exponential term)
Here are some examples of scientific notation.
10000= 130° 2B = 24307 «10°
1000 = 1:10" 7354= 7.354 10"

‘As you can see, the exponent of 10 is the number of places the decimal point must be shifted
to give the number in long form. A positive exponent shows that the decimal point is shifted
that number of places to the right. A negative exponent shows that the decimal point is
shifted that number of places to the left.
In scientific notation, the digit term indicates the number of significant figures in the number.
‘The exponential term only places the decimal point, As an example,
46600000 = 4.6610"
This number only has 3 significant figures. The zeros are not significant; they are only holding
a place. As another example. 0,00053 = 5.3107

How to do calculations:
Onyour scientific calculator.
Make sure that the number in scientific notation is put into your calculator correctly. Read
the directions for your particular calculator. For inexpensive scientific calculators.
1. Punch the number (the digit number) into your calculator.
2, Push the EE or EXP button. Do NOT use the x (times) button !!
3. Enter the exponent number. Use the +/- button to change its sign.
4, Voila ! Treat this numer normally in all subsequent calculations.
To check yourself, multiply 6,0x 10° times 4,0 10° on your calculator. Your answer should
be 2.410"
On your cheap non-scientific calculators.
‘You will need to be familiar with exponents since your calculator cannot toake care of them
for you. For an introduction to rules concerning exponents, see the section on Manipulation
of Exponents.
Addition and Subtractios
All numbers are converted to the same power of 10, and the digit terms are added or subtrated.
(4.215x107) + (3.2104) = (4.215x107) + (0.032x107) = 4.247 x 492
(8.97%10*) - (2.62x10°) = (8.97%10*) - (0.262x10*) = 8.71 x 10!
Multiplication : The digit terms are multipled in the normal way and the exponents are
added. The end resultis changed so that there is only one non zero digit to the left of the
decimal
(3.4x10*)(4.2«10*) = (3.4)(4.2)x10) 14.9510 = 14x10" (to 2 significant figures)

Compound Surd : An expression consisting of the sum or difference of two or more simple
surds or the sum or the difference of a rational and a surd is called a compound surd.

entire surd or a pure surd.
Simplest form of a surd: A surd, expressed in the form a/b , where ‘b’ is the least positive
rational number.

2) The simplest form of J32 = 2x16 = 42
Comparision of surds : Comparision of surds is possible only when they are of the same
order. The radicals are then to be compared.
‘Thus Y2 and JB canbe $/2=2" and YB~=8" since $ > 2 therefore 4/8 > 42
In order to compare the surds of different order and different base we first reduce them to the
same order.

v) Compare the given two surds.
Addition and Subtraction of Surds
We have studied addition and subtraction of rational numbers. Now we shall perform these
operations on surds. We can add and subtract similar surds in the same way as we added
and subtracted like terms of an algebraic expression.
Ex: 5V3+7y3 =(5+7)V3 = 12V73 and 8V5-3V5 = (8-3) V5 =5V5,
Thus for adding or sutracting the surds, we change them to similar surds before performing
addition or subtraction.
50 + 72 = V5x5x2 + VOx6x2 =5V2 +62 =11V2

Multipliation of Surds
In multiplying surds, simplification must first take place as much as possible. Then the whole
numbers will be taken with whole numbers and surds will be taken with surds.

Division of Surds
If the denominator of a fraction is a surd, it is usually best to rationalize the denomiantor. To
rationalize the denominator means to make the denominator into a rational number, usually
a whole number. To do this, you have a multiply the numerator and the denominator of the
fraction by a surd that makes the denominator rational which will not in any way effect the
original numbers.

When you have completed this lecture you should be able to :
* Know about the Polynomials.
* Understand the Polynomials of various degrees
© Understand the number of terms in a Polynomial.
Polynomials:
We have studied about polynomials, their degrees and also about zeroes of a polynomial. We
shall quickly recall about all these before proceeding further.
‘An algebraic expression in which each term is of the form kx*, where n is a whole number
and k is a constant, is called a polynomial in x.
A polynomial in x may have one or more terms, involving x. Following are some polynomials
1
X-7, 4 x-1, 8-2 + 5x3
4 x-7,84x-1, +3
The general form of a polynomial in x is
PO) = ay aX + ARE teat axe
where ay a, ay a... a, are real numbers, called coefficients of the polynomial and n is any
non-negative integer.
Note: Analgebraic expression in which the variable occurs in the denominator or the exponents
of the variable are not whole numbers, is not a polynomial.
Following are not polynomials
sug
x41"

, 24
x 42x-1
The greatest exponent of the variable in the terms of the polynomial is called the degree of the
polynomial. If, p(x) =a, + a,x + ax? + ......, a,x" (a, #0), then degree of p(x) is n.
A polynomial of degree 0 is called a constant polynomial. Following are some constant
polynomials.
P(x) = 3; ply) = -5, pit) = 1
However, p(x) = 0 is called a zero polynomial and its degree is not defined.
Standard form of a polynomial: A polynomial written either in the descending powers in x
or ascending powers in x is called the standard form of a polynomial.
Examples :
x? —3x? + 2x +1 is a polynomial in the standard form as the powers are in descending order.
1 + 2x - 3x? + x’ is a polynomial in the standard form as the powers are in ascending order.

Polynomials of various degrees:
Constant Polynomial : A polynomial of degree 0 is called a zero degree polynomial or constant
polynomial,
Example : f(x) = 12 = 12x"
Linear polynomial : A polynomial of degree 1 is called a linear polynomial,
Example : 4y - 12, x +3
Quadratic Polynomial : A polynomial of degree 2 is called a quadratic polynomial.
Example : x? ~ 2x + 5/3y" +5y-8
3
Cubic Polynomial : A polynomial of degree 3 is called a cubic polynomial.
Example : Sy? ~ Sy? + 3y +1, dx? + Sx? + 7x = 2
Biquadratic Polynomial : A polynomial of degree 4 is called a biquadratic polynomial
Example : x‘ - 3x? + 2x? - 5x +3, y* 2y? + 5y -8
Number of terms in a Polynomial
Monomials : Polynomials having only one term are called monomials.
For example : 3, 2x, ~ 8x?, 5x2, 9y5, - 15u‘ and 12f” are monomials.
Binomials : Polynomials having exactly two terms are called binomials
For example : 2x + 1, J2x? +2, 2y’ +5y*,3t” -1 are binomials.
inomials : Polynomials having exactly three terms are called trinomials.
For example : 2x? ~ x +5, 3y’ - 4y* +1, + 70 440° are trinomials.
Zeros of a Polynomial
Let us consider the polynomial p(x) = x? - 2x? - 2x - 3.
If we replace x by 1 everywhere in the above expression, we get
p(l) = ((1)' - 20)? - 20) -3=1-2-2-3=-6
Here, we can say that the value of the polynomial p(x) at x = 1 is -6.
Similarly, we can find that
POO) = (0) - 2007 - 2(0) - 3
p@) = Q)'- 22) -2Q)-3=8-8-4-3=-7
If p(c) = 0, then we say c is zero of polynomial p(x). In general, we say that a zero of a
polynomial p(x) is a number c such that p(¢) = 0.

* Know about the Horner’s Method.
We know that, when a natural number n is divided by a natural number m less than or equal
ton, the remainder is either 0 or a natural number r < m.
Ex : 23 when divided by 5 gives the quotient 4 and the remainder 3.
Here, we can express 23 as 23 = (5 x 4) + 3ie,,
Dividend = (Divisor x Quotient) + Remainder
Now, we extend the above phenomenon for the division of a polynomial p(x) by a non-zero
polynomial g(x) such that degree of g(x) = p(a)=0+r >
Hence the remainder is p(a) when p(x) is divided by (x - a)
Remark :
If a polynomial p(x) is divided by g(x) then we get remainder as follows.

Observation : Numbers are divided into two types. They are zero and non zero. As Remainder
(in this case) is a number it can be either zero or non-zero.
A special case arises when remainder ‘R’ is zero. That is “If remainder is zero then the
divisor is a factor”.
Hence assigning the above observation to polynomials, the first degree divisor (x - a) is a
factor of the polynomial f(x) when f(a) is zero.
This leads to factor theorem.
Factorization of polynomials
Factor Theorem
A result which follows from the statement of the Remainder Theorem is that if the remainder
f(a) obtained on dividing f(x) by x - a is zero, then x - a divides f(x) exactly,
Statement of Factor Theorem
If F(X) be any polynomial of degree >1 and a is any real number, then
(i) x - a is a factor of f(x), if f(a) = 0, and
(ii) f(@) = 0, if x - ais a factor of f(x)

Proof: (i) Let q(x) be the quotient when f(x) is divided by (x - a)
By Remainder Theorem, f(x) when divided by (x - a) gives remainder equal to f(a)
f(x) = (= a) q(x)* fa)
= fl) = &-a) a)
=> (K-a) is a factor of f(x)
(ii) Since (x - a) is a factor of f(x), f(x) when divided by (x - a) gives remainder zero.
But, by Remainder Theorem, f(x) when divided by (x - a), gives the remainder equal to f(a).

Examine whether y + 3 is a factor of the polynomial 2y? + 3y?-7y +6.
p(y) = 2y* + 3y? ~ 7y +6 is the given polynomial and -3 is the zero of the linear polynomial
y+3,
Now, p(-3) 2(-3) + 3(-3) = 7(-3) +6
54427 +21+6=0
Hence, by the factor theorem, (y + 3) is a factor of 2y* + 3y?~ 7y + 6.

Show that (x ~ 1) (x - 2) is a factor of the polynomial x° -
Given polynomial p(x) = x° - x? - 4x +4
Now, zeroes of the polynomial (x - 1) (x - 2) are 1 and 2.
p(l) = (1) - (2-4) +4=1-1-4+4 =0
and pQ)= Q)°- (27 -4@) +4=8-4-844=0
So, 1 and 2 are zeroes of polynomial p(x).
Therefore, (x - 1) and (x ~ 2) is a factor of p(x).
