Rectangular coordinate system
Rectangular coordinate system - The position of a point in a plane is determined by two coordinates. The method is as follows: Two mutually perpendicular lines (straight lines) XX' and YY' are drawn as shown in the figure. These straight lines are termed as coordinate axes, the one (usually drawn h..
Question 10
image Question: A point A is at a distance from the point (4, 3). Find the co-ordinates of point A, if its ordinate is twice of its abscissa. [3 Mark] Answer: Ordinate is y-co-ordinate and Abscissa is x co-ordinate. Let the co-ordinates of A be (x, y). Then, y = 2x (g..
Proof:
Draw a unit circle with centre 'O'. Let XOX' and YOY' be the coordinate axes. Let a variable point A on the circumference of the circle move from the position A (1,0) to the final position P( q ) along the circumference of the circle. Let AP be the arc, so that arc AP subtends angle q at the c..
Function
Any relation on A x B in which (i) no two second elements have a common first element and (ii) every first element has a corresponding second element is called a function.Any relation on A x B in which (i) no two second elements have a common first element and (ii) every first element has a corresp..
Graph:
The variations in the value of tanx depends up on the changes in the value of y as x changes continuously. The straight line perpendicular to the x-axis at x = is drawn to indicate that as the abscissa of moving point on the curve moves towards as a limit, the point on the curve ap..
Translation of Axes
. Let O'X' and O'Y' be new axes parallel to OX and OY, respectively, where O' is the new origin. Let (h,k) be the coordinates of O' referred to the old axes, i.e., OL = h and LO' = k. Also, OM = x and MP = y . Let O'M' = x' and M'P = y' be respectively, the abscissa and ordinates of point..
