Matrices and Determinants

Matrices

The matrices and determinants are used in the field of Mathematics, Physics, Statistics, Electronics and other branches of science. The matrices have played a very important role in this age of computer science. The idea of matrices was given by Arthur Cayley, an English mathematician of nineteenth century, who first developed, “Theory of Matrices” in 1858. Matrix A rectangular array ...

Solution of Quadratic Equation by Completing Square

Solution of Quadratic Equation by Completing Square

To solve a quadratic equation by the method of completing square is illustrated through the following examples. Example Solve the equation x2 − 3x − 4 = 0 by completing square. Solution: x2 − 3x − 4 = 0          (i) Shifting constant term −4 to the right, we have x2 − 3x = 4          (ii) Adding the square of ...

Quadratic Equations

Quadratic Equation

An equation of 2nd degree is called quadratic equation. In more detail, the quadratic equation is an equation, which contains the square of the unknown (variable) quantity, but no higher power. General or standard form of a quadratic equation: A 2nd degree equation in one variable x of the form as below, where a ≠ 0 and a, b, c are ...

Sets

Math

A set is a collection of well defined distinct objects or symbols. Well defined objects mean that the objects possess a property that enables one to determine whether a given object is in the collection or not. For example, a set cannot consist of elements like moral values, concepts, evils or virtues. Element of a set Each object in the ...
