where the points A, B and C
in a coordinate plane have the coordinates A(1,1), B(2,-1) and C(6,5) (Figure 2).
Solution
We will check that the vectors BA and BC are
perpendicular.
x- and y- components of the vector BA are (1)-2 = -3 and 1-(-1) = 2 respectively.
So, AB = (-3,2) in the component form.

Figure 2. To
the Problem 11

x- and y- components of the vector BC are 6-2

So, AC = (4,6) in the component form.
Now, scalar products of the vectors BA and BC

Since the scalar product of the vectors BA and BC is zero, these

Prove that the quadrilateral ABCD with the

Solution
We will check that the vectors AB and
DC representing the pair of opposite
sides are equal, as well as the vectors BC
and AD representing another pair
of opposite sides are equal.
x- and y- components of the vector AB are
5-(-3) = 8 and (-3)-(-4) = 1 respectively.
So, the component form of the vector AB is
AB= (8,1).

Figure 3. To
the Problem 12

x- and y- components of the vector BC are


1-5 = -4 and 4-(-3) = 7 respectively.
So, the component form of the vector BC is
BC= (-4,7).
x- and y- components of the vector DC are
1-(-7) = 8 and 4-3 = 1 respectively.
So, the component form of the vector DC is
DC= (8,1).
x- and y- components of the vector AD are -7-(-3) = -4 and 3-(-4) =
7 respectively.
So, the component form of the vector AD is AD= (-4,7).
Thus the vectors AB and DC have identical components. Therefore,
these vectors are equivalent, i.e. they are parallel and have the same

The vectors BC and AD have identical components too. Therefore,
these vectors are equivalent too, i.e. they are parallel and have the
equal length also.
Since the quadrilateral ABCD has the opposite sides parallel, this
quadrilateral is a parallelogram.
Now, compare the lengths of the two consecutive sides of the
parallelogram ABCD.
The length of the side AB is equal to the length of the vector AB:
|AB| =

The length of the side BC is equal to the length of the vector BC:

Thus the parallelogram ABCD has the opposite and the consecutive
sides of equal length. In other words, all the sides of the

Hence, the parallelogram ABCD is a rhombus. The proof is

x- and y- components of the vector AB are 2-1

So, the component form of the vector AB is AB=
(1,-3).
x- and y- components of the vector BC are 5-2

So, the component form of the vector BC is BC=
(3,1).
x- and y- components of the vector DC are
= -1 and 3-0 = 3 respectively.
So, the component form of the vector DC is
(-1,3).
x- and y- components of the vector AD are

So, the component form of the vector AD is

4-5
DC=

AD= (3,1).

Thus the vectors AB and DC have identical components. Therefore,

The vectors BC and AD have identical components too. Therefore,
these vectors are equivalent too, i.e they are parallel and have the

Since the quadrilateral ABCD has the opposite sides parallel, this

Now, the scalar product of the vectors AB and AD is 1*3 + (-3)*1 =
3 - 3 = 0.
Since the scalar product of the vectors AB and AC is zero, these
vectors are perpendicular. Thus the parallelogram ABCD has the
right angle.
Hence, the quadrilateral ABCD is a square. The proof is completed.

term in "3", and the power n is 6, so, counting from0 to 6, the

sign that goes with the second term in the binomial.)
(2x 5y)7 = 7C0 (2x)7(5y)0 + 7C1 (2x)6(5y)1 + 7C2 (2x)5(5y)2

that the exercise will be way easy if you've memorized the Theorem, but

will be difficult or impossible if you haven't. So memorize theTheorem


and get the easy points.
3.What is the fourth term in the expansion of (3x 2)10?
I've already expanded this binomial, so let's take a look:
(3x 2)10 =
2)2

10C0

(3x)100(2)0 +

10C1

10C3

(3x)103(2)3 +

10C4

10C6

(3x)106(2)6 +

10C7

10C9

(3x)109(2)9 +

10C10

(3x)101(2)1 +

(3x)104(2)4 +

(3x)107(2)7 +

10C2

10C5

10C8

(3x)102(

(3x)105(2)5

(3x)108(2)8

(3x)1010(2)10

So the fourth term is not the one where I've counted up to 4, but
the one where I've counted up just to 3. (This is because, just as
with Javascript, the counting starts with 0, not 1.)
Note that, in any expansion, there is one more term than the
number in the power. For instance:
(x + y)2 = x2 + 2xy + y2 (second power: three terms)
(x + y)3 = x3 + 3x2y + 3xy2 + y3 (third power: four terms)
(x + y)4 = x4 + 4x3y + 6x2y2 + 4xy3 + y4 (fourth power: five
terms)
The expansion in this exercise, (3x 2)10, has power of n = 10, so
the expansion will have eleven terms, and the terms will count up,
not from 1 to 10 or from 1 to 11, but from 0 to 10. This is why the
fourth term will not the one where I'm using "4" as my counter, but
will be the one where I'm using "3".
10C3

(3x)103(2)3 = (120)(2187)(x7)(8) = 2099520x7

4.Find the tenth term in the expansion of (x + 3)12.

BHARATHIDHASANAR MATRIC HR.SEC.SCHOOL, ARAKKONAM,


MATHEMATICS-PART-2

To find the tenth term, I plug x, 3, and 12 into the Binomial


Theorem, using the number 10 1 = 9 as my counter:
12C9

(x)129(3)9 = (220)x3(19683) = 4330260x3

5.Find the middle term in the expansion of (4x y)8.


Since this binomial is to the power 8, there will be nine terms in
the expansion, which makes the fifth term the middle one. So I'll
plug 4x, y, and 8 into the Binomial Theorem, using the number5
1 = 4 as my counter.
8C4

(4x)84(y)4 = (70)(256x4)(y4) = 17920x4y4

You might be asked to work backwards.


6.Express 1296x12 4320x9y2 + 5400x6y4 3000x3y6 + 625y8 in
the form (a + b)n.
I know that the first term is of the form an, because, for
whatever n is, the first term is nC0(which always equals 1)
times an times b0 (which also equals 1). So 1296x12 = an. By the
same reasoning, the last term is bn, so 625y8 = bn. And since there
are alternating "plus" and "minus" signs, I know from experience
that the sign in the middle has to be a "minus". (If all the signs had
been "plusses", then the middle sign would have been a "plus" also.
But in this case, I'm really looking for "(a b)n".)
I know that, for any power n, the expansion has n + 1 terms. Since
this has 5 terms, this tells me that n = 4. So to find a and b, I only
have to take the 4th root of the first and last terms of the expanded
polynomial:

Then a = 6x3, b = 5y2, there is a "minus" sign in the middle, and:

Don't let the Binomial Theorem scare you. It's just another formula to
memorize. A really complicated and annoying formula, I'll grant you, but
just a formula, nonetheless. Don't overthink the Theorem; there is
nothing deep or meaningful here. Just memorize it, and move on.

EQUATIONS OF A STRAIGHT LINE


Line through two points
The line through two distinct points (x1, y1) and (x2, y2) is given by
(1)

y = y1 + [(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)](x - x1),

where x1 and x2 are assumed to be different. In case they are equal, the
equation is simplified to
x = x1
and does not require a second point.
Equation (1) can also be written as
y - y1 = [(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)](x - x1),
or even as
(x2 - x1)(y - y1) = (y2 - y1)(x - x1),

36

BHARATHIDHASANAR MATRIC HR.SEC.SCHOOL, ARAKKONAM,


MATHEMATICS-PART-2

where one does not have to worry whether x1 = x2 or not. However, the
simplest for me to remember is this
(y - y1)/(y2 - y1) = (x - x1)/(x2 - x1)
which is not as universal is the one before.

Ex 5.2
1.Find the equation of the straight line that has slope m = 4
and passes through the point (1, 6).
Okay, they've given me the value of the slope; in this case, m =
4. Also, in giving me a point on the line, they have given me an xvalue and a y-value for this line: x = 1 and y = 6.
In the slope-intercept form of a straight line, I have y, m, x, and b.
So the only thing I don't have so far is a value for is b (which gives
me the y-intercept). Then all I need to do is plug in what they gave
me for the slope and the x and y from this particular point, and
then solve for b:
y = mx + b
(6) = (4)(1) + b
6 = 4 + b
2 = b
Then the line equation must be "y = 4x 2".
What if they don't give you the slope?
2.Find the equation of the line that passes through the points (2,
4) and (1, 2).

37

BHARATHIDHASANAR MATRIC HR.SEC.SCHOOL, ARAKKONAM,


MATHEMATICS-PART-2

Well, if I have two points on a straight line, I can always find the
slope; that's what the slope formula is for.

Now I have the slope and two points. I know I can find the equation
(by solving first for "b") if I have a point and the slope. So I need to
pick one of the points (it doesn't matter which one), and use it to
solve for b. Using the point (2, 4), I get:
y = mx + b
4 = ( 2/3)(2) + b
4 = 4/3 + b
4 4/3 = b
12/3 4/3 = b
b = 8/3
...so y = ( 2/3 ) x + 8/3.
On the other hand, if I use the point (1, 2), I get:
y = mx + b
2 = ( 2/3)(1) + b
2 = 2/3 + b
2 + 2/3 = b
6/3 + 2/3 = b
b = 8/3
So it doesn't matter which point I choose. Either way, the answer is
the same:
y = ( 2/3)x + 8/3
As you can see, once you have the slope, it doesn't matter which point
you use in order to find the line equation. The answer will work out the
same either way.

15. In the figure, if <PAB = 120 then <BPT =


<BCP + 120

<BCP

180

( ABCP is a cyclic quadrilateral)

= 60

<BPT + <BCP = 60
16. If the tangents PA and PB from an external point P to circle with
centre O are
inclined to each other at an angle of 40, then <POA =
Since OAP OBP,
<POA + 90 + 20 = 180

<APO = 20
<POA = 70

17. In the figure, PA and PB are tangents to the circle drawn from an
external point P.
Also CD is a tangent to the circle at Q. If PA = 8 cm and CQ = 3 cm, then
PC is equal to
