Introduction - Consider a simple quadratic equation x 2 + 1 = 0. There is no real number which satisfies this equation. So there was a need to find a system which could answer to this problem. Euler used the symbol 'i' to denote to solve the above equation. Complex ..

The following are the steps to solve a system of linear equations using Cramer's rule. Step 1: Find the value of the determinant Step 2: If D 0, then the system has unique solution, given by Where D 1 , D 2 and D 3 are the determinants obtained from D by replacing respectively t..

The union of the set of rational numbers and irrational numbers forms the set of real numbers. (i) For every real number, there is a corresponding point on the number line. (ii) For every point on the number line,..

The union of the set of rational numbers and irrational numbers forms the set of real numbers. Q = {rational numbers} = {irrational numbers} Then = R = {real numbers..

Introduction - We use specific number of digits to denote an exact value of a number for required accuracy. The digits used for such a purpose are called significant figure..

The number of significant figures depends on the instrument used and accuracy required. It is wrong to record diameter as 2 cm. It means the reading is approximated to the nearest 1 cm. If the exact reading is 2 cm then it should be recorded as 2.0 cm. The ..

Let us consider the following entries in a Students' Journal: (a) Weight of a calorimeter = 42 g (measuring instrument used is spring balance) The smallest reading the spring balance can record is 1g. There are 42 of 1 g units of measurement. Hence, there are two significant figures in th..

A system of linear equations is said to be consistent if it has a solution. This means that the solution satisfies all the equations in the system simultaneously. If a system of linear equations has no solution, then it is said to be inconsiste..
