Polynomials in Grade XI

Math article on grade XI (Algebra ii – Operations on polynomials)
Friends! In previous article we had started the discussion of Algebra ii and Absolute value is the main scenario of previous article. If you get remember then in the end of previous article the discussion of System of equation was started and we will continue its remaining part in this article. Along with System of equation, today we will also explore various operations that are usually applied on polynomials.
In previous article we already had explored the Row reduction method of solving system of linear equations and now here we are going to discuss direct solving method for system of linear equation:
For solving this we will use two newer terms that are vector presentation of matrix and inverse matrix.
As explained in previous session, a system of linear equation can be represent as AX = C
Where A refers the coefficient matrix, x represents the variables derivatives and C represents the RHS of the system. But here we will use their vector form as;
AX(vector) = C(vector)
Here x is an n-dimensional vector the elements of which represent the solution of the equations and C (vector) is the constant vector of the system of equations. Now its solution can be written in the following form:
X = A^-1 C
Here A^-1, represents Inverse matrix of co-efficient of the system.
Suppose a system is as:
-x + 3y + z = 1
2x + 5y = 3
3x + y - 2z = -2
Now write this system into standard form of AX = C, as
-1  3   1     x     1
 2  5   0     y      3
 3   1  -2    z    -2
Now find the inverse of the Matrix A, as
A^{-1 =}       -10/9  7/9 -5/9
            4/9    -1/9   2/9
         -13/9  10/9  -11/9
Now multiply both sides of equation by this inverse matrix:
On the left side, A-1 cancel out the matrix A, and on the right side:
⁼               -10/9  7/9 -5/9            1
            4/9    -1/9   2/9           3
           -13/9  10/9  -11/9        -2
=  21
  -3
    39
This is the solution of the system of linear equations that can be represented as:
X         21
Y   = -3
Z          39
This is the second way by which any system of linear equation can be sort out but one thing to notice that every defined method for solving this type of queries required the implementation of matrices and its application, so students has to make their command on all the fundamentals and operation procedures of matrices for solving queries like system of linear equations.

So Now let us begin with the topic: operations on Polynomials;
“What is a Polynomial and how it is formed?, this query is not required to be answer for grade XI students, because you guys should aware of this, before coming into this standard. So here we are directly starting the operations discussion of polynomials:
First arithmetic operation to be applied on polynomial is Addition: while using this operation, students need to implement two standard properties that are Additional property and Distributive property that implies to combine like terms, like terms refer to same variables and same exponents for the variables.
distributive property worksheets in Algebra: if an expression is as ba + ca then it can be rewritten as a(b + c)
ba + ca = a(b + c)
let us take an example to explain it more:
Suppose given polynomial is
(3X² + 7x + 8) + (5x² - 8x + 2) = 3x² + 7x + 8 + 5x² - 8x + 2
Now use the distributive property to combine like terms as
(3x² + 5x²) + (7x - 8x) + (8 + 2)
8x² – x + 10
Now move towards the next operation that is Subtraction:
This one is pretty similar as Addition operation but when two terms are added then the second polynomial terms are inversed or multiplied by minus (-) sign.
We are using the same example as above:
(3X² + 7x + 8) + [- (5x² - 8x + 2)]
Here the second polynomial is need to be subtracted from first one that’s why firstly the second polynomial is multiplied by negative sign and then the simple addition will be performed.
3X² + 7x + 8 - 5x² + 8x – 2
-2x² + 15x + 6
Third general operation, which is used to solve polynomials, is multiplication. Let us find out the simplest way to execute this operation on polynomials. While evaluating these operation students need to use above principles of addition and subtraction along with distributive property and law of exponents. Let us take an example to see the practical implementation of multiplication in between two polynomials. For more information on polynomials visit here
Example: 3x(2x -5) = (3x)(2x) – 3x(5) = 6x² – 15x
Let us take one more example where number of derivatives is more than previous one:
( 2x + 1) (3x - 4) = (2x)(3x) – (2x)4 + (1)3x  -  (1)4
= 6x² - 8x + 3x – 4
= 6x² – 5x – 4

The fourth operation to be used to solve higher order polynomials is power operation. There are various standard formulas that are need to be learnt before starting the evaluation of complex polynomials. Some of these standard formulas are as following:
(x + y)⁰ = 1
 (x + y)¹ = x + y
(x + y)² = x² + 2xy + b²
(x + y)³ = x³ + 3x²y + 3xy² + y³
(x + y)⁴ = x⁴ + 4x³y + 6x²y² + 4xy³ + y⁴
(x + y)⁵ = x⁵ + 5x⁴y + 10x³y² + 10x²y³ + 5xy⁴ + y5

Let us take an example to use some of the above formulas for solving polynomials:
(x² + 2x – 3)² = (x² + 2x – 3) (x² + 2x – 3)
= (x²) (x²) + (x²)(2x) - (x²)(3) + (x²)(2x) + (2x)(x²) - (2x)(3) – 3(x²) - (2x)(3) +9
= x⁴ + 2x³ – 3x² + 4x² – 3x² + 2x³ – 6x - 3x² – 6x + 9
= x⁴ + 4x³ – 2x² - 12x + 9
This is how the polynomial multiplication sorted out. While solving this student should know that whenever the bases are same, that time exponents are added to form a single term; This basic rule is learned in earlier classes but still most of the times students get confused while tracing the solved answer of the query.
Now the final operation we are going to explore in today’s article for polynomials is Division:
This operation includes some conditions that are needed to be taking in count while dividing two polynomials, as follows:
As you guys know that polynomials have many types as Monomials, Binomials and trinomials, so this is the reason the scenario of division process varies.
1.    First condition is:  Monomial  Monomial
To sort out this law of exponents is required:
(24x⁴y²)/ (18x²y³) =  4x²/3y²
This one is simple because cancellation of terms gets easier because of Monomial.
2.    Polynomial  monomial:-
(4x⁵ – 8x³ + 12x²)/ 6x²
= 4x⁵/6x² – 8x³/6x² + 12x²/6x²
= 2x³/3 – 4x/3 + 2
3.    Polynomial ÷ polynomial;- for this purpose students need to follow long division algorithm that includes following steps:

a. first write the dividend and divisor polynomials into their standard polynomial form after that use zero coefficients for powers of the variable that are missing in the dividend and divisor.

b. then Divide first term of the divisor into the first terms of the dividend. Put its quotient above term in the dividend.

c.  in third step, Multiply quotient by all terms of the divisor and put the products under the appropriate terms of the dividend.

d.  (change signs on bottom polynomial and add) Subtract and bring down remaining terms.

e. divide the remaining term by first term until the power of the divisor is larger than the power in the dividend

Let’s take an example to execute this algorithm to solve
divide x2 + 9x +14 by (x + 7)

          
This is all about arithmetic operations on polynomials.

Absolute Value in Grade XI

Hey friends! Welcome to another descriptive session of Grade XI math, in previous article you guys have learned important terms about linear equations and inequalities of Algebra 1 unit of this syllabus but today in this article we are including two initial topics of Algebra ii that are related to linear inequalities. These topics are Solving Absolute Value Equations and Systems of linear equations/inequalities. Nothing much needs to tell about inequalities because that was very well explained in previous article. So directly starts with the main topics of today’s article.

Apart form starting anything we should now What is absolute value function? with Absolute value to solve equations and inequalities, let us first discuss the main definition of Absolute value. The term Absolute value is used when the definite numerical value is important rather than its sign. For example if you say that ‘x’ is 20 m far away from the original point then this causes the distance value as 20, when absolute value of ‘x’ is defined then it does not matter that in which direction it is being traveled.

In general if x = 20 or x = -20 then its absolute value is represented as │x│= 20. Absolute value inequalities are solved by using simple method that suggests to replace the inequality symbol with = sign. Once the replacement is done then solve the equation to find the critical numbers and then divide them into intervals and test to check the right one. Suppose an equation is │x - 2│< 3

So first replace it with = sign; │x - 2│=3

Now by evaluating the above equation student will have two values, x= 5 or x = -1 these two values cause two intervals, first interval includes values less than -1, second interval includes value between -1 and 5, and the third interval have values more than 5. Now test these interval values by putting them into inequality equation, it easily gets clear that only second interval value is satisfying the equation as:

When x lies in x interval then value of x can be 0, so by putting this in equation:

        │x - 2│< 3
        │0 - 2│< 3

2<3 true

So the region of x is as -1 < x < 5

 For solving less than sign inequalities, there is a short trick as:
When Absolute value inequalities is in the following form
│Algebraic Expression│< K; here K is a positive real number. Then first rewrite the equation as:
-K <│Algebraic Expression│< K
The reason behind this short-trick preference is that whenever absolute value of quantity is less than a positive real number that time the Absolute quantity is situated in between negative and positive values of the real integer line. For example if │x│<3 then as an absolute value principle the value of x must be in 3 units but it can be of both directions so we can write this one as -3 < │x│<3.
Now if the Absolute value inequality includes a greater than symbol instead of less than to solve this one also with ease, students can follow the procedure defined below;
If │Algebraic Expression│> K; where k is real integer
Then it can be rewritten as: │Algebraic Expression│< -K
Now student have two equations ahead of just one, so solve them both and the solution will comprise the union of both Absolute inequality equation’s solution.
For example: evaluate │2x + 1 │≥ 3
First rewrite the equation as │2x + 1 │≥ 3 and │2x + 1 │≤ -3
Solve both of the inequality equation as:
as │2x + 1 │≥ 3
 2x ≥ 2
x  ≥ 2/2
x ≥ 1
Second equation: │2x + 1 │≤ -3
2x ≤ -4
X ≤ -4/2
X ≤ -2
As said before, solution is the union of these both
x ≥ 1 OR X ≤ -2
This is how any Absolute Value inequality is being resolved by using the short-tricks. Now let us move to the next session of this article and that is System of Linear Equations. Fraction of this topic is introduced in previous article but here we will do the total demonstration of it. While going through system of equations one thing for sure that student should learn the fundamentals of matrix operations because the standard applications that are used to evaluate system of equation are based on matrix analysis.
Let’s start with the actual meaning of system of linear equation: A linear system is a finite collection of linear equations that includes same number of unknown variables in it. As a standard form, a linear system of m equations and n variables is represented as:
aXIx1 + a12x2 + ……. + a1nxn = b1
a21x1 + a22x2 + ……. + a2nxn = b2
….            …                      ….         .
….            …                      ….         .
….            …                      ….         .
am1x1 + am2x2 + ……+ amnxn = bm
Tuple set ( s1, s2,…..,sn), when these values are substituted in place of x variable then linear system is called Solution set of the system.  Every existing linear system can be put into one of the following category:
No solution, Unique solution or infinite solution. Linear system is said to be consistent if its solution at-least comprise one solution and if there is not a single solution existing then the system is said to be inconsistent.
Let us take an example of solving a linear system,
If the system is as:

 x1 -  x2 + x3 - x4 = 2
x1 - x2 + x3 + x4 = 0
4x1 - 4x2 + 4x3 = 4
-2x1 + 2x2 - 2x3 + x4 = -3
Relevant matrices of the above given linear system is as:
1 -1 1 -1   2
1 -1 1 1    0
4 -4 4 0    4
-2 2 -2 1  -3
Now apply the row operations to convert the matrix into more linear form
We are applying following row eliminations to convert apply the row elimination algorithm on the matrices;
1.    R2 - R1
2.    R3 - 4R1
3.    R4 + 2R1
After applying these eliminations the resultant matrices is as :
1 -1 1 -1  2
0 0 0 2   -2
0 0 0 4   -4
0 0 0 -1   1
Still the matrix is not in unit form so further row transformations are required,
1.    (1/2)R2
2.    R3 -2R2
3.    R4 + (1/2)R2

The resultant matrix is as
1 -1 1 -1  2
0 0 0 1   -1
0 0 0 0    0
0 0 0 0    0
One more transformation is applied as R1 + R2
(1) [-1] [1] 0  1
0 0 0 (1)     -1
0 0 0 0         0
0 0 0 0         0
Now the above matrix results the following equivalent linear system.
x1 = 1 + x2 - x3
x4 = -1
In above equation x2 and x3 are free variables so they can take arbitrary constants as x2= c1 and x3 = c2. Now the system is as:
x1 = 1 + c1 - c2
x2 = c1
x3 = c2
x4 = -1
Consider c1=0, c2 = 0 then obtained solution is as
x=-1
     0
     0
    -1
Now for the homogeneous linear system AX= 0
x1 - x2 +x3 - x4 = 0
x1 - x2 +x3 + x4 = 0
4x1 - 4x2 + 4x3 = 0
-2x1 +2x2 - 2x3 +x4 = 0
Now because we have its equivalent analyzed matrix, so
1 -1 1 -1    0                             (1) [-1] [1] 0  0
1  -1 1 1     0   equivalent to0 0 0 (1)     0
4 -4 4 0     0                                        0 0 0 0         0
-2 2 -2 1    0                                       0 0 0 0         0


So these above system provides two solution set for the given linear equation system, that’s why this system is said to be a consistent system.

This is how any linear system is sorted out but there are several more ways in which any system of equation can be resolved and for that you can go through the next article of grade XI Algebra ii. In next article we will continue the scenario of Algebra ii including the rest of system of equations solution procedures.

Linear Equations in XI Grade

After giving you the whole introduction of grade XI syllabus, its time to start the real demonstration of each topic. Today we are starting with first topic that puts variety of problems in front of students like you and that is Linear equations and linear inequalities. Also improve your skills with graphing linear equations. When students are promoted into XI th standard that time the only thing strikes in their mind is the increased level of math queries. Although they have study most of the topics in their earlier classes but still nothing gonna be easy for them and the scenario starts with Linear equations. Before grade XI math, students are used to with simplification of linear equations but here they have to represent it with graphs and most importantly first they have to convert into linear form from corresponding non-linear form.

Let us discuss “ why linear equations are always taken as the most important factor of mathematics?” Answer is that everything, which is predefined, students learn to solve various kind of queries made by performing much deep analysis on Linear form of mathematical queries thats the reason why all the standard formulas and principles are directly implacable on the linear equations. But here another question arises that “ what to do with Non-linear equations of mathematics?” As we know that the list of formulas we have, will not be useful to solve non-linear form so in this case students has to convert the non-linear query into its appropriate linear form. For more information on linear equations visit this.

We will see how this is to be done in remaining article, Another point is that mathematics is a vast subject and includes several types of equations, so it is clear that there are variety of standard forms. The basic form of any linear equation is as:

Ax + By = C

here 'A', 'B' and 'C' is integer coefficients and x and y are variables.

Let us take an equation:

2x =c

Now if the above equation is seen that it is linear form but you guys must be thinking that it is not matching with the above standard equation, but it is.

Let us see how,

Ax + By = C :: 2x =c

Here A = 2 , B = 0 ( that's why y derivative is automatically discarded from the equation)

So most of the times students fix them only because they are unable to understand the right form of the equation.

As this one is the part of Algebra so the objective of the equation solving is very much clear to students and that is to determine the numerical values of Variables of the equations. Let us take an example and see the normal evaluation process of any linear equation form:

We are going to take system of linear equation rather then a single one because this is the demand of grade XI math,

10x1 - 7x2 = 7

-3x1 + 2x2 + 6x3 = 4

5x1 - x2 + 5x3 = 6

When you have to deal with system of linear equations, that time the system evaluation is possible when the number of equations are equal to the number. of unknown variables in the system. In similar way here three equations are included in system and the 3 unknown variables are to be evaluated. Now its up to you how to solve this equations, either by normal arithmetic process or by matrix use. Today we are going to see both ways, first start with matrix way

10 -7 0 x1 7

-3 2 6 x2 4

5 1 5 x3 6

According to the algorithm, elimination of the variables is done like x1 is to be eliminated from first equation, x2 is from second and x3 from third. This is done to convert the whole system into more proper linear form. Let's see the actual execution of this:

by adding 0.3 times the first equation to the second equation and subtracting 0.5 times the first equation from the third

equation. This will covert the matrix as following:

10 -7 0 x1 7

0 -0.1 6 x2 6.1

0 2.5 5 x3 2.5

Now to eliminate x2 from second equation we are implementing two steps for executing with more ease:

10 -7 0 x1 7

0 2.5 5 x2 2.5

0 -0.1 6 x3 6.1

In the above matrix we had exchanged the last two rows because the pivot element ( -0.1) less than the next one (2.5), this process is called pivoting. Now for eliminating x2 from second equation, add 0.04 times of the second equation to the third equation and the resultant one is :

10 -7 0 x1 7

0 2.5 5 x2 2.5

0 0 6.2 x3 6.2

From the above matrix, the last equation is:

6.2 x3 =6.2

x3 = 1

Now substitute this value in the second equation, then

2.5 x2 + (5)(1) = 2.5

2.5 x2 = - 2.5

x2 = -1

The determination of x1 easily can be done by substituting the value of x2 and x3 in first equation:

10 x1 + (¡7)(¡1) = 7

x1= 0

So the solution of the system of linear equation

0

x= -1

1

This is all about linear equations. Let's move towards the additional section of this topic that is Inequalities. Presentation of linear inequalities is almost similar to the linear equations but the only replacement is the equality sign with any of inequality symbol. But this only change in equation format causes a bigger difference in the answer although the solution process is pretty similar as well. The answer of inequality equation is a range rather then a fixed value. While solving any linear inequity, students need to implement some of the predefined fundamentals that are:

1. Additional property : If p<b and c is any real number, then p + c< b + c.

  For example, -2<-1 implies -2+4<-1 + 4.

2. Multiplication property: If p<b and c is positive, then pc<bc.

For example, 1<3 implies 1(4)< 3(4).

3. If p<b and c is negative, then pc > bc.

For example, 1<9 implies 1(-2)>9(-2).

4. Transitive property :If p<b and b<c, then p< c.

For example, -1/2<3 and 3<8/3 so its imply -1/2<8/3.

Let us take an example of linear inequality:

Suppose given equation is 2 (3P + 2) -20 > 8(P - 3) 

First remove the brackets by multiplying the terms in and out of bracket,

6P + 4 -20 > 8P - 24
6P - 16 > 8P - 24 

Now add 16 to both sides

6P > 8P - 8 

Shift 8P to tight hand side or subtract 8P from both sides

-2P > -8

-P > -4

Now multiply with (–) sign, this will cause reverse if inequality symbol

P< 4

This reveals that the solution of the equation has the region from (-infinity) to less than 4.

This is how linear inequalities are being resolved. To learn more about linear equations and inequalities students can take the assistance of various online math tutors. These Online math tutoring providers are expert and proficient in mathematics and to extract the best result, number of online math tutors are categorized according to the various branches of mathematics.

Syllabus of Grade XI

Hey friends! Today we will make you aware with all those math topics which you actually need to care of in XI standard. Everyone knows the importance of 12th grade because that is the actual stage for which students are being prepared from long while. And so on the importance of XIth standard raise automatically because this is the last platform to being a fluent free math problem solver. Math of 12th grade includes various optimized applications which are further being included in higher studies and XIth standard is the stage where students learn final level concepts of several math branches which are used as tool to solve complex math application problems of grade 12.

Let's start with the major categorization of XI grade math, all the math problems are divided into 9 units which are as
Number System, Algebra 1"> Algebra 1, Algebra XI, Pre Calculus, Calculus, Statistics, Geometry, Trigonometry and Advanced Trigonometry. You can also play statistics worksheets online.
As it gets clear that every math branch is included in this vast Grade XI syllabus and important thing is that every branch having both initial level and higher level problems to work on.
Firstly start with Number system, this unit is no longer newer for students because they are dealing with it since their earlier classes. This time students have to solve various number systems, queries related to Estimating and rounding while using arithmetic operations in parallel.

Now its time to move towards second unit of XI standard which is Algebra I. In general, Algebra covers a major part of Grade XI syllabus because Algebra problems are categorized in 3 units as Algebra I, Algebra ii and linear algebra. As the standard syllabus concerns, these 3 units are not put in continuous manner because where Algebra I includes initial level algebra problems at the same time Algebra ii have much higher complex algebraic queries and linear algebra is an unit where students has to evaluate number of equations in parallel. Let us take every algebra unit individually and see what actually they are having to serve in front of students. Starting with Algebra I, it includes 14 major topics as Linear equations/inequalities, Monomials and polynomials, Factoring second and third degree polynomials, Rational expressions/functions, Quadratic equations, Quadratic functions, Exponents, factors, variation, exponential growth/decay, Hypothesis, counter examples, Correlation for data, Patterns, relations, functions, Changing parameters of given functions, Graphs, matrices, sequences, series, recursive relations, Radical equations/inequalities and Limits and infinity. In above topics inequalities problems with limits and matrices problems are newer terms for students. Matrix is a kind of mathematical application which is used to solve complex queries in their optimized way. In this unit students learn general arithmetic operations implementation on matrices, which is required because matrices individually cover a major part of 12 grade syllabus.

Algebra ii content looks much heavier than Algebra I, but the fact is that this unit also follows some topics which are already being introduced in algebra 1 unit. These problems only gets distinct with their complexity level. Algebra ii have some standard theorems and functions which are merely required to solve particular type of math queries like Binomial theorem and conic sections. Valuable region of this unit is covered by Graphing problems which include the elements determination required to graph any algebraic equation like Slope calculation and inverse function for Ellipse, Parabola and Hyperbola. Other topics of Algebra ii are as System of Linear equations, laws of Algorithms, Types of Series and Estimation of Solutions.

That’s all what students are going to start up in their Grade XI math problems. To be continuing with Algebra region in this syllabus let us talk about Linear Algebra session of it. This part of Algebra is almost a scheduled portion of 12th grade syllabus which includes evaluation of system of linear equation by using Matrix properties. Most important thing is that students will learn the use of standard ways like Gauss – Jordan and Gaussian elimination to solve system of equations. In linear algebra section students get aware of Matrix important functionality like Row reduction methods ( Cramer's rule) and its practical use for solving complex system of equations. Apart from these, Linear Algebra also includes some vector related problems like vector addition and Scalar product.

So now we are in middle of Grade XI math syllabus where students are introduced with pre calculus. Calculus is another branch of mathematics which is introduced just before 12th standard starts. This branch of math deals with two parts: Differentiation and Integration. If any composition is decomposed in various derivatives to elaborate it then that form of calculus is Differentiation and inverse process of combining those derivatives as a single composition is Integration. Pre calculus includes some math queries where calculus basics are used to simplify them. Content of Pre calculus includes Limits of sequences, series, continuity, end behavior, asymptotes, limits, Regression, Law of Sines/Cosines, area formulas, Parametric/rectangular forms of functions, Vectors, Even/odd functions, significant values, Functions and operations, Conic sections- applications and Sequences and series. Most of the pre calculus applications are related to linear shaped or we can say geometrical presentations because the functions which are finally described as the result of pre calculus problems represent any linear shape on the 2D plane.

After getting introduced with pre calculus students immediately has to raise their bar for solving upper level calculus problems which are included in next unit. Major topics of calculus are Continuity of a function, Chain rule, Rolle's theorem, mean value theorem, and L'Hopital's rule, Maxima, minima, inflection points, intervals, Newton's method (approximating the zeros of a function), Riemann sums, Techniques of integration, Simpson's rule, Newton's method and Power series, Taylor series/polynomials. This is not the end of calculus part in Grade XI. The above one's are the applications which students has to go through with but to solve problems based on that applications some linear calculus fundamentals like Intermediate value calculation , extreme value theorem, Derivatives, differentiability and Derivatives of functions has to be learned.

Grade XI syllabus is a vast one amongst other classes because it includes very much detailed interpretation of every mathematics branch. The next unit of Grade XI math is covered by Statistics. This branch is always being a non comfortable part of math for students because of term Probability in it. Students have to deal with headache of probability queries here also. In this very well categorized syllabus Statistics is partitioned in two continuous units, the first unit includes the general and standard principles implication of probability with additive clause of conditional probability whereas the second unit comprises of application of probability. For making students well understood of probability they are forced to go through topics like Types of events, Measures of central tendency/dispersion, quartiles, interquartile, Permutations and combinations, Methods of data representation, Statistical experiments and Correlation and causation. After completion of Statistics first unit session every student gets much potential to use predefined theorems in various probability based applications like Standard deviation, Central limit theorem, P-value for a statistic and Chi-square distribution/test.

Now there are three more units remaining which covers Geometry, Trigonometry and Advanced Trigonometry. Let us begin with Geometry part, every student likes to solve geometry queries because their process of solving is being on the fixed size. There are not such moderation occurring in solving techniques but still one problem is there and that is time consumptions to solve and then draw the result. To make your mind alert this session of math includes problems based on Logical reasoning and conditional statements. Every time when there is submission of any standard principle or formula then its related problem beings the important topic similarly Geometry part also have some topics like Euclidean/non-Euclidean geometry, Pythagorean Theorem, Congruence, similarity, triangle inequality theorem, Coordinate geometry, Properties of inscribed/circumscribed polygons of circles, Rotations, translations, reflections, isosceles triangle theorem; polyhedra and Compound loci in the coordinate plane.

Now its time to let you know what is your last step to finish off Grade XI math, Trigonometry. Initially to make students comfortable with this branch, standard problems are introduced like trigonometric functions, Formulas for sines and cosines and Polar/rectangular coordinates. Now when students are well known about types of problems with which they have to deal, the real level of Trigonometry problems begin with problems on complex numbers in polar form, De Moivre's theorem, Inverse trigonometric functions and Area of triangle (one angle and 2 adjacent sides).

While studying any of the part of Grade XI math, students need to make sure that problem is well understood to him if any sort of problem occurs then students can use the immediate assistance provided by Online math tutoring websites with the help of expert math tutors. These Online education providers arrange the whole Grade XI syllabus in pretty moderate way where daily scheduled lesson sessions are arranged on students demand. These services are being highly reliable because of their 24 x 7 hours service.

Linear Functions in 11th Grade

Friends! Today in this article we will discuss some important aspects of mathematics which are merely required for any 11th class students. The importance of 11th standard is raised because after this students have to go through board examinations which will actually decide the direction of their career. The major part of the grade XI math is covered by Algebra problems and linear equations are the must required term to solve various algebra queries or you can take help of algebra problem solver.

The 11th standard is the last stage where students finally execute the algebra problems and after that in grade XII, algebra works as a tool to solve other complex queries like matrices and determinants.

Let us first start with the role of linear equations in mathematics, as every student is aware of presentation and formation of linear equation but the point which makes this term essential while solving other complex problems is as “Every predefined formula or principle which students study and then apply to solve other queries, is made by doing the analysis of assumed principles on linear equation”. In earlier classes students learn various forms of mathematical equations which are in linear form that’s why their simplification gets easy because of direct implementation of standard formulas. But when students come into 11th standard, the queries include mathematical Algebraic Equations which are not in linear form. So the first thing which students need to do with those problems is their conversion from non-linear to linear form. This process is called Normalization. For implementing Normalization, students should know the actual standard form of that particular equation. Let us take an example of any mathematical equation and elaborate the whole concept for better understanding:

Suppose an equation is as: x² + 2 = y²
The above equation is of 2-order whose standard linear form is as
Ax² + By² = C
So A= 1, B = 1 and C= 2 , equation already includes all the linear derivatives but it has to be written in arranged order as:

x² + y² = 2

If the given equation is as x² + 2 = 0 then how will be the comparison done. In that case the equation is assumed to be as:

x² +(0) y² + 2 = 0
means here A = 1, B = 0 and C = 2

Students have to memorize all the predefined standard forms of mathematical equations because to implement graphing, the given problem should be in its standard form.
Now let us come to today’s main topic which is Graphing Linear functions, for performing the graphing process the first thing which need to be implemented is what we have talked above, the recognition of standard form of linear equation. When the problem is being converted into its linear form then the real work is started for graphing. Students need to find some essential terms which are as:
Intercepts, slope of the line, and a linear function.

A linear function is the presentation of any equation which includes the y intercept and slope of the line as:

y = mx + b
Here 'm' and 'b' are real integer coefficients which are being determined by the properties of the equation line and x, y are the numerical values which actually provides the required solution of the problem.

While moving through the graphing phenomenon we observe following essential points:

• The slope of the line will always equal m.
• The slope is defined as m = (y2 – y1)/(x2 – x1) for any two points on the line.
• The point (0, b) will always be the y-intercept.

Intercept of any line is the point at which the line of the equation or any function actually intersects the graphs. When we need to do graphing of any linear equation in 2D plane then only x and y intercepts are required. At the point of x intercept, the line intersects at x axis so all the y points are zero similarly when Y intercepts than all the x points of equation are zero.

The value of slope can be negative , so if it does then students can interpret the line in two ways:

• m = -(A/B) = (-A)/B which indicates that you move down A units and then right
B units.
• m = -(A/B) = A/(-B) it means that line move up A units first and then left B units.

Slope of the line is basically defined as the rise and run ratio, rise means how far a line moves from a point in y axis direction whereas run means how far line moves in x direction from one point to another.

Example: Calculate the slope of the line that passing through (4,-1) and (2, -2). Then use
this slope to help graph this line.
The slope is given by m = (y2 – y1)/(x2 – x1). So we substitute in our values to get

m = -2 – (-1)/ ( 2 – 4) = (-2 + 1)/ -2 = -1/ -2 = ½

Slope of the line is equal to the tangent of the line so if slope of the line is ½ then it can be written as:
tan a= ½ = m
a = tan -1 (1/2)
here 'a' is the angle at which the line is being aligned with x- axis.

This is how students can elaborate the slope of the line by using the endpoints of the line but now if we have value of slope of the line rather then endpoints of the line then for determining the equation of the line we use the following way:
The equation of a line that passes through (x1, y1) points and has slope m is given by:
m(x – x1) = y – y1
here (x, y) is any point which lies on the line and (x1, y1) is a specific point given already.

To explain the execution of this principle let us take another example:
Example: evaluate the equation of the line with slope m = 3 that passes through point (4, -1).
Then, write this equation in standard slope-intercept form.
First substitute m = 3 and x1= 4, y1= -1 into formula
m(x – x1) = y – y1 to get following
3(x – 4) = y - (-1)
This form is further simplifies as
3(x – 4) = y + 1
Now, to write this in slope-intercept form, we have to solve this equation for y.
and for this first distributive property is implemented as
3x – 12 = y + 1
Now, use the Addition Property of Equality to add (–1) to both sides to get
3x – 13 = y or y = 3x –13.

Note: You can quickly check your answer by verifying that the slope of this equation (m=3) matches the given slope (m=3) or not and also by substituting the given point (4,-1) into y = 3x - 13
to get
–1= (3 X 4 )– 13 and verify that it is a solution.

That’s how the required terms like intercepts and Slope of the line are evaluated. There is one more suitable way to perform graphing of any mathematical equation in a quick while, that is Graphing calculator. It is an Online math calculator which is available on various online math tutoring websites and only runs on Javascript supported Internet Browser. When students prefer the online math service to take the required help in solving math problems then online tutors provides some more online calculators to students by which they get the solution in short time in comparison of manual solving. The point which makes these tools more important is the optimized way which is used by online calculators to solve the complex math queries in quick time.

Graphing of mathematical equations is a vast topic in math because there are various kinds of math equations and each equation has different graphing function.
