About new school notes
Planets are the largest objects in the solar system except for the sun. Unlike the sun, the planets do not produce their own energy. They reflect the heat and visible light produced by the sun. The four planets near the Sun - Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars are called terrestrial (earth-like) planets because they are somewhat similar in size and composition to the earth. They appear to consist chiefly of iron and rock. The terrestrial planets and Pluto are the smallest planets. The earth has one satellite, Mars has two, and Pluto has one. Mercury and Venus have no satellites.

The outer planets - Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune are called the giant planets or Jovian planets. They are mainly made up of hydrogen, helium and ice. Compared to the terrestrial planets, they contain little iron and rock. Each of the giant planets has several satellites. They also have rings around them. However, only Saturn's large, bright rings can be easily seen through a small telescope.

The rectangular arrangement of some numbers in some rows and columns is called matrix.
The scientist Sylvester defined matrix is a rectangular array or arrangement of entries or elements displayed in rows and columns put within a square bracket or parenthesis. The entries or elements may be any kind of numbers like real or complex, polynomials or other expressions. learn more on dividing polynomials Matrices are denoted by the capital letters like A, B, C.... The matrices use algebraic operations like addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. Let us see how to multiply the matrices in this article.
Any matrix A is denoted by Amxn (m by n), where m is the number of rows and n is the number of column in the matrix A and consists of m x n elements.

Leraning Geometric Sequence
A sequence is a collection of numbers is called as terms, arranged in some particular order. There are several types of sequences; one of the most frequent sequences is the geometric sequence and series.
In mathematics, a geometric sequence is otherwise known as a geometric progression, is a sequence of numbers where each term after the first is found by multiplying the previous one by a fixed non-zero number called the common ratio. For example, if the sequence is 1, 4, 16, 64... here the common ratio is 3 in the geometric progression. Similarly 10, 5, 2.5... is also a geometric sequence with common ratio ½ .
The addition of all the terms in geometric sequence is known as a geometric series.

The Ellipse and Circle
Ellipse
The locus of a point in a plane whose distance from a fixed point bears a constant ratio, less than one to its distance from a fixed line is called ellipse. An ellipse is the set of all points (x, y) in the plane such that the sum of the distances from (x, y) to two fixed points is some constant. The two fixed points are called the foci, which is the plural of focus.

Circle
A circle is the locus of a point which moves in such a way that its distance from a fixed point is always constant. The fixed point is called the centre of the circle and the constant distance is called the radius of the circle.
Geometric Construction
The geometric construction of an ellipse can easily be accomplished with some very simple tools: a piece of string, a pencil, two pins, and a piece of paper. Simply stick the two pieces of string into the piece of paper using the two pins. Pull the string tight (using the pencil) until a triangle is built with the pencil and the two pins as vertices. Now, keeping the string pulled tight, move the pencil around until the ellipse is traced out.

Example: Consider the equation Given our comments above, this equation yields an ellipse. We see that and and the graph of this ellipse is the following:

Polynomial Graphs: End Behaviour
When we are graphing (or looking at a graph of) polynomials, it can help to already have an idea of what basic polynomial shapes look like. One of the aspects of this is "end behavior", and it's pretty easy. Look at these graphs:


As you can see, even-degree polynomials are either "up" on both ends (entering and then leaving the graphing "box" through the "top") or "down" on both ends (entering and then leaving through the "bottom"), depending on whether the polynomial has, respectively, a positive or negative leading coefficient. On the other hand, odd-degree polynomials have ends that head off in opposite directions. If they start "down" (entering the graphing "box" through the "bottom") and go "up" (leaving the graphing "box" through the "top"), they're positive polynomials; if they start "up" and go "down", they're negative polynomials.
All even-degree polynomials behave, on their ends, like quadratics, and all odd-degree polynomials behave, on their ends, like cubics.

The "Vertical Line Test"
Line:
The infinitely long and thin of the straight geometrical object is called line. Types of lines can be classified into following types:
- Straight Line
- Vertical line
- Horizontal line
Looking at this function stuff graphically, what if we had the relation that consists of a set containing just two points: {(2, 3), (2, –2)}? We already know that this is not a function, since x = 2 goes to each of y = 3 and y = –2.
This characteristic of non-functions was noticed by I-don't-know-who, and was codified in "The Vertical Line Test": Given the graph of a relation, if you can draw a vertical line that crosses the graph in more than one place, then the relation is not a function. Here are a couple examples:

Types Of Vectors
Vector: A quantity that has magnitude as well as direction is called a vector.
Different types of vectors are,
a) Zero or Null Vector: A vector whose initial and terminal points coincide, is called a zero vector (or null vector).
b) Unit vector: vector whose magnitude is unity (i.e., 1 unit) is called a unit vector.
c) Collinear Vectors: Two or more vectors are said to be collinear if they are parallel to the same line, irrespective of their magnitudes and directions.
d) Co-initial vectors:Two or more vectors having the same initial point are called coinitial vectors.
magnitude and direction regardless of the positions of their initial points,
Linear functions and Inequalities
In mathematics, the term linear function can refer to either of two different but related concepts:
- a first-degree polynomial function of one variable;
- a map between two vector spaces that preserves vector addition and scalar multiplication.
In mathematics, an inequality is a statement about the relative size or order of two objects or about whether they are the same or not
- The notation a <>less than b.
- The notation a > b means that a is greater than b.
- The notation a ≠ b means that a is not equal to b, but does not say that one is greater than the other or even that they can be compared in size.
Solve the expression
5(-3y - 2) - (y - 3) = - 4(4y + 5) + 13
Solution:
• Given the equation
5(-3y - 2) - (y - 3) = -4(4y + 5) + 13
• Multiply factors.

Find the solution using completing square method.
x^2 + 10x -9 = 0
Solution:
x^2 + 10x - 9 = 0
x^2 + 2.x.5 -9 =0
Here, to complete the square, just add 5^2 and subtract 5^2 in the left side of the equation.
x^2 + 10x +5^2 - 5^2 -9 = 0
Using the identity (a+b)^2 = a^2 +2ab + b^2
We can write x^2 + 10x + 5^2 as (x+5)^2
For the given equation,
(x+5)^2 - 25-9 = 0
(x+5)^2 -34 = 0
(x+5)^2 = 34
To solve for x

How to find Simple Interest in Algebra
Question:-
A city government built a $60 million sports arena.Some of the money was raised by selling bonds that pay simple interest at a rate of 11% annually.The remaining amount was obtained by borrowing money from an insurance company at a simple interest rate of 10% .How much was financed through the insurance company if the annual interest is $6.19 million?
Answer:-
Let $x was financed through the insurance company.
Then $(60-x) was raised through selling bonds.
Interest on $(60-x) for 1 year at 11% is (60-x).11/100
And interest on $x for 1 year at 10% is x.10/100
By the problem
[11(60-x)/100] + [10x/100] = 6.19
multiplying both sides by 100 , we get
11(60-x)+10x = 619
660-11x+10x = 619
660 - x = 619
x = 41
So,$41 was financed through the insurance company.
