Study Notes

Proportion

Proportion is an equation where two ratios are equal to each other.
It can be used to represent relationships between quantities.
There are three types of proportion:
- Direct Proportion: When one quantity increases, the other quantity increases at the same rate.
- Indirect/Inverse Proportion: When one quantity increases, the other quantity decreases at the same rate.
- Reciprocal Proportion: The product of two quantities is constant.
Direct Proportion Examples:
- Distance and time travelled by a vehicle moving at a constant speed.
- Price and number of articles (without discounts).
- Distance covered and fuel consumption.
- Exchange rates.

Simple Interest

Simple interest is calculated on the original principal amount.
The interest earned is calculated using the formula: I = (P * R * T) / 100, where:
- I = interest
- P = principal
- R = rate (per annum)
- T = time (in years)

Compound Interest

Compound interest is calculated on the principal amount and accumulated interest from previous periods.
It is applicable in banks, credit unions, and other financial institutions.
The compound interest can be calculated based on the accumulated amount:
- A = P + I
- I = A - P
Compound interest is also calculated using the formula: A = P [ 1 + (R / 100) ]^n, where:
- A = amount at maturity
- P = principal
- R = rate (per annum)
- n = number of periods

Fractional Equations

Fractional equations are equations containing fractions with variable in the numerator or denominator.
Solving fractional equations involves:
- Cross multiplication: Multiplying the numerator of one fraction with the denominator of the other.
- Clearing fractions: Finding the least common multiple (LCM) of denominators and multiplying both sides of the equation by the LCM.

Quadratic Expressions

A quadratic expression is a polynomial of the second degree.
It has the general form: ax^2 + bx + c, where:
- a, b, and c are constants.
- a ≠ 0.
Example: 12x^2 – 13x – 20 has coefficients of:
- x^2: 12
- x: -13
- Constant: -20

Trinomials

A trinomial is an algebraic expression with three terms.
Example: ax^2 + bx + c.

Factorization of Quadratic Expressions

Factoring a quadratic expression involves breaking it down into two binomials.
Example: Factorizing x^2 + 5x + 6 gives us (x + 2)(x + 3).
