    Number Systems

    • Natural Numbers: Positive integers, starting from 1 (e.g., 1, 2, 3, ...).
    • Whole Numbers: Natural numbers plus zero (e.g., 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
    • Integers: Whole numbers and their negative counterparts (e.g., ..., -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3, ...).
    • Rational Numbers: Numbers that can be expressed in the form p/q, where p and q are integers and q is not zero (e.g., 1/2, 3/4, -5/7).
    • Irrational Numbers: Numbers that cannot be expressed as a fraction of two integers (e.g., √2, π).
    • Real Numbers: The set of all rational and irrational numbers.
    • Properties of Real Numbers: Commutative, associative, distributive properties.
    • Sets of Numbers: Understanding the relationships between natural, whole, integers, rational, irrational, and real numbers (e.g., natural numbers are a subset of whole numbers, which are a subset of integers, etc.).
    • Representation on Number Line: Visualizing numbers on a number line and understanding ordering.
    • Decimal Representation: Converting between fractions, decimals, and percentages.
    • Operations on Real Numbers: Addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, and exponentiation.
    • Square Roots and Cube Roots: Finding the square and cube roots of numbers.
    • Approximations: Understanding and using approximations when dealing with irrational numbers.

    Polynomials

    • Definition: An expression consisting of variables and coefficients, involving only the operations of addition, subtraction, multiplication, and non-negative integer exponents of variables.
    • Types of Polynomials: Monomials (one term), binomials (two terms), trinomials (three terms), etc.
    • Degree of a Polynomial: The highest power of the variable in the polynomial.
    • Value of a Polynomial: Evaluating a polynomial for a given value of the variable.
    • Zeroes of a Polynomial: Values of the variable for which the polynomial evaluates to zero; also called roots.
    • Finding the zeroes of a polynomial: Factorization, graphical methods.
    • Relationship between zeroes and coefficients: Understanding important relations between the zeroes and the coefficients of a polynomial.

    Linear Equations

    • Definition: An equation that can be written in the form ax + b = 0, where 'a' and 'b' are constants, and 'x' is a variable.
    • Methods of Solving: Trial and error, elimination, substitution, graphical methods.
    • Solutions: Finding the value of the variable that satisfies the equation.
    • Graphical Representation: Representing linear equations on a graph.
    • Types of Solutions: Unique solution, no solution, infinitely many solutions.
    • Applications: Solving word problems, modeling real-world scenarios.

    Quadratic Equations

    • Methods of Solving: Factorization, completing the square, quadratic formula.
    • Discriminant: A quantity that helps determine the nature of the roots (real and distinct, real and equal, or imaginary).
    • Nature of Roots: Understanding the relationship between the discriminant and the roots, predicting the type and number of solutions.
    • Relationship between roots and coefficients: Understanding the relationship between the roots of a quadratic equation and its coefficients (sum and product of roots).
    • Applications: Solving word problems involving areas, speeds, and other real-world applications.
    • Completing the square (method): Manipulating the equation to express it in a perfect square form to solve for the roots.
    • Quadratic Formula: A general formula to solve for the roots of any quadratic equation.
