Ø LOGARITHMS :
Definition : Let a, N be two positive real numbers and a ≠ 1. If x is a real number such that ax = N,
then x is called the logarithm of N to the base 'a'. It is denoted by logaN.
i.e., ax = N
⇒ x = logaN
ax = N is called an exponential form and x = logaN is called a logarithmic form.

ii) 73 = 343 3 = log7343

iii) 5–2 = –2 = log5
25 25
Note :
1) The logarithm of non positive real numbers cannot be defined.
2) The logarithm of the same number to the different bases are different.
i.e., logaN ≠ logbN (where a ≠ b)
Example : log464 = 3 and log264 = 6
∴ log464 ≠ log264
3) The logarithm of 1 to any base is always equal to zero.
i.e., loga1= 0 (where a ≠ 1)
Example : log101= 0, log7321= 0.
4) The logarithms of the different numbers to the same base are different.
i.e., logaN1 ≠ logaN2
Example : log216= 4 and log232 = 5.
∴ log216 ≠ log232
5) The logarithm of any number to the same base is always equal to '1'.
i.e., logaa = 1 (where a ¹ 1 )
Example : log1515 = 1, log3636 = 1.

Ø Types of logarithms :
1. Natural logarithms : The logarithms which are calculated to the base "e" are called natural logarithms
or napierian logarithms. logex is denoted by 'lnx' .
2. Common logarithms : The logarithms which are calculated to the base "10" are called common
logarithms or briggs logarithms. log10x is denoted by 'log x'.

Ø TRIGONOMETRY :
Angles :
i) Degree measure : One sixtieth of a degree is called a minute and written 1|, and one sixtieth of
a minute is called second, written as 1||.
Thus 10 = 60| and 11 = 60|| . θ
O θ = 360°
ii) Radian measure :
I radian : An angle with its vertex at the centre of a circle which r
r
intercepts an arc equal in length to the radius of the circle is said to 1rad
have a measure of 1 radian. The circumference, s, of a circle of radius
r is 2πr . Thus one complete revolution subtends an angle.
2πr
θ= = 2π rad
r
Thus if a circle of radius r, an arc of length l subtends an angle θ radian at the centre, we have
l

i) cosec θ = ; sec θ = and tan θ =

ii) for small angle (θ → 0), r → x and y → 0
∴ sin θ = tan θ and cos θ → 1
iii) sin2 θ + cos2 θ = 1

Ø Properties of Triangle :
i) Laws of sines C
The sides of triangle are proportional to the sines of the opposite angle, b a
a b c
i.e., = =
sin A sin B sin C A c B
ii) Laws of cosines
In any triangles, the square of any side is equal to the sum of the squares of the other two sides
minus twice the product of these two sides into the cosine of their included angle,
i.e., a2 = b2 + c2 – 2bc cos A
b2 = a2 + c2 – 2ac cos B
and c2 = a2 + b2 – 2ab cos C

Ø DIFFERENTIATION :
If y is the function of x, then we can write y = f(x)
Here x is the independent variable and y is the dependent variable. If x varies from x to x + Δx , then
y + Δy = f ( x + Δx )
Δy = ( y + Δ y ) − y = f ( x + Δx ) − f ( x )
Δy f ( x + Δx ) − f ( x )
And the ratio =
Δx Δx
Taking limits on both sides of above expression, we have
⎛ Δy ⎞ f ( x + Δx ) − f ( x )
lim ⎜ ⎟ = lim
Δx → 0 ⎝ Δx ⎠ Δx → 0 Δx
⎛ Δy ⎞ ⎛ dy ⎞
The quantity Δlim ⎜ ⎟ is called differentiation of y w.r.t. x and we can written as ⎜⎝ ⎟⎠
x → 0 ⎝ Δx ⎠ dx
⎛ dy ⎞ f ( x + Δx ) − f ( x )
Thus we write, ⎜⎝ ⎟⎠ = Δlim .

Ø Geometrical Meaning of Differentiation : Figure represents the graph of y versus x. Choose two
points P(x, y) ans Q(x + Δx , y + Δy ) on the curve. The slope of line
y
Δy
PQ is given by = tan θ
Δx Q
If point Q approaches P, the slope tan θ of the line
PQ approaches the slope of the tangent at P. Δy
⎛ Δy ⎞ dy P
Thus we have lim ⎜ ⎟ = = tan θ
Δx → 0 ⎝ Δx ⎠ dx y
⎛ dy ⎞
i.e., ⎜ ⎟ at any point of the curve gives slope of the tangent
⎝ dx ⎠ x x
at that point. Δx
Ø Partial Differentiation :
In physics, we often come across quantities which depend on two or more variables. For example
electric potential V depends on x, y coordinates as : V = xy. For given pair value of x and y, V has a
define value. If we differentiate quantity V w.r.t. x keeping y constant, then it is known as partial
∂V
differentiation and represented by . Similar differentiation of V w.r.t. y keeping x is constant
∂x
∂V
represented by .
∂y
∂V ∂ ( xy ) ∂V ∂ ( xy )
Thus = = y and = =x
∂x ∂x ∂y ∂y
In general if f is a function of n variables x1, x2, ....xn, then partial differential coefficient of f with
∂f
respect to x1, keeping all the variables except x1 as constant can be written as ∂x .

Ø Maxima and Minima : Y
Suppose a quantity y depends on another quantity x in a manner
shown in the figure. It becomes maximum at x1 and minimum at
x2. At these points the tangent the curve is parallel to the X-axis
and hence its slope is tan θ = 0.

Thus, at a slope = = 0. X1 X2

Minima : Similarly at a minimum the slope changes from negative to positive. Hence with the increases
of x the slope is increasing that means the rate of change of slope with respect to x is positive hence

there exists a minima at t = 0.9
Now, check for the limiting values.
When t = 0, x = 3
t = ∞, x = ∞
So, the maximum position co-ordinate does not exist.
Putting t = 0.9 in the equation
x = 5(0.9)2 – 9(0.9) + 3 = – 1.05.
Note : If the coefficient of t2 is positive, the curve will open upside.

Therefore the maximum or minimum is at (0, –4)
d2y
To decide whether it’s maximum minimum, consider the sign of 2 = 2
dx
This is positive, so we have a minimum.
Therefore there is a minimum at (0,–4)

Therefore the maximum or minimum is at (1,3)
when x = 1
d2y
when x = 1, = −12 < 0

This is negative, so we have a maximum.
There fore there is a maximum at (1, 3)

⇒ = −6 x − 12 ⇒ = −6
dx dx 2
dy
To find the maximum or minimum, put =0
dx
⇒ –6x – 12 = 0
⇒ 6x = –12
⇒ x = –2 and y = –3 × (–2)2 – 12 × (–2) + 5 = –12 + 24 + 5 = 17
Therefore the maximum or minimum is at (–2, 17)
d2y
To decide whether it’s a maximum or minimum, consider the sign of 2 when x = –2

d y
When x = –2, 2 = –6 < 0

Solution :
If the perimeter is 20 m and the width is w m ⇒ x + w = 10 ⇒ w = 10 – x
Let the area of the rectangle be A m2
⇒ A = x (10 – x) = 10x – x2 x
First find the first and second derivatives :
A = 10 x – x2 (10-x)
dA
⇒ = 10 − 2 x

So the maximum area occurs when x = 5 and we have a square of area 25 m2

The corresponding points on the curve are (0, 1), (1, 1) and (– 1, 1).
Ø INTEGRATION :
The integration is the inverse operation of differentiation. Thus if the differentiate a function f(x) w.r.
d
t. x is f|(x), then the integration of f|(x) w.r.t. x will be f(x). That f ( x) = f | ( x)
dx
∫ f ( x ) dx = f ( x)
|
Then
Ø Constant of Integration :
The differentiation of a constant is zero, therefore in integration there may involve constant of
∫ f ( x ) dx = f ( x)
|
integration, let C. Thus we can write
∫x ∫ cos ec x dx = − cot x + c

iv) dx = ln x + c x) 2
∫ f ( x) dx = ⎡⎣ f ( x) + c⎤⎦
| b
are the lower and upper limits of variable x, then a
a
= {f(b) + c} – {f(a) + c}
= f(b) – f(a)
Here constant of integration c get cancelled so there is no need to place it in definite.
