Rectangular Coordinates


Rectangular Coordinate:

The rectangular coordinate system otherwise called as Cartesian coordinate system. The rectangular coordinate system is always depends on the grid. In rectangular coordinate every point on the plane can be recognized by the distinctive x and the y coordinates. Now any point on the Earth can be recognized by giving its latitude and the longitude.

Here, o-origin of coordinates, right side value from 0 is point as positive numbers i.e., 1,2,3,etc., left side value called negative numbers -1,-2,-3,....

Problems on Rectangular Coordinates:

Problem 1:

Convert the following polar coordinate to rectangular coordinates R = 5

Angle q =30 degree

Solution:

R = 5 and Angle q = 30

For the given polar coordinates we have to find the equal rectangular coordinate

Where the rectangular coordinates are (x , y)

Here x = R Cos q

And y = R Sin q

So

X = 5 Cos 30

Y= 5 Sin 30

So the rectangular coordinate (4.3301, 2.5)

Problem 2:

Change the given polar coordinate to rectangular coordinates

(R, q) = (5, 53.1)

Solution:

R = 5 and Angle q = 53.1

For the given polar coordinates we have to find the equal rectangular cordinate

Where the rectangular coordinates are (x , y)

Here x = R Cos q

And y = R Sin q

So

X = 5 Cos 53.1

Y = 5 Sin 53.1

So x=3

And y = 4

So the rectangular coordinates are (3, 4)

Problems on Rectangular Coordinates:

Problem 3:

Change the rectangular coordinates to polar coordinates (-3, -7)

Solution:

We know x2 + y2 = r2

So

(-3)2+ (-7)2 = 9 +49 =58

Where q = Tan(y / x )

R2 = 58

R =7.6

Tan q = (-7/-3) =66.8 degrees

So the polar coordinates are (7.6, 66.8)

We can use the same for three dimensional. So we will use x, y, z coordinates.

Let us look at a more wider explanation about the Rectangular Coordinates.
A Cartesian coordinate system specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances from the point to two fixed perpendicular directed lines, measured in the same unit of length

Each reference line is called a coordinate axis or just axis of the system, and the point where they meet is its origin. The coordinates can also be defined as the positions of the perpendicular projections of the point onto the two axes, expressed as a signed distances from the origin.

One can use the same principle to specify the position of any point in three-dimensional space by three Cartesian coordinates, its signed distances to three mutually perpendicular planes (or, equivalently, by its perpendicular projection onto three mutually perpendicular lines). In general, one can specify a point in a space of any dimension n by use of n Cartesian coordinates, the signed distances from n mutually perpendicular hyperplanes.

Complex Number


Complex number

Introduction:

Consider a simple quadratic equation x2 + 1 = 0. There is no real number which satisfies this equation. So there was a need to find a system which could answer to this problem. Euler used the symbol 'i' to denote to solve the above equation.

Complex number system consists of the set of all ordered pairs of real numbers (a, b) denoted by a + ib, where i =
Complex number

Square root of a negative number is known as an imaginary number.

If x and y are real numbers, then x + iy is called a complex number. x is called the real part and y is called the imaginary part.

The following are the types of complex numbers: Equality of Complex numbers, Sum of two Complex numbers, Negative of a Complex number, Additive identity of the Complex number, Additive inverse of a Complex number, Product of two Complex numbers, Multiplicative identity of Complex numbers, Conjugate complex numbers, Quotient of two non-zero Complex numbers, Reciprocal of a non-zero complex number or multiplicative inverse of a non-zero complex number.
Properties of Complex numbers

The Properties of Complex numbers are:Commutative Law for Addition, Commutative Law for multiplication, Additive Identity Exists, Multiplicative Identity Exist, Reciprocals (Multiplicative Inverses) Exist for nonzero complex numbers, Negatives (Additive Inverses) Exist for all complex numbers, Non Zero Product Law.
Graphical representation of Complex numbers

The complex number Z = x + iy may be represented graphically by the point P whose rectangular co-ordinates are (x, y)। Thus each point in the plane is associated with a complex number.

Mathematical Induction

Mathematical Induction:

Let us first understand the meaning of mathematical induction,the word 'Induction' means method of reasoning from individual cases to general ones or from observed instances to unobserved ones. Many important mathematical formulae are such that a result is formed by some means which does not provide for a direct proof. Mathematical Induction is a principle by which one can arrive at a conclusion about a statement for all positive integers, after proving certain related related proposition.

Statements:
Some sentences depend on a variable for its truth value (i.e., true or false).
e.g., "2+4+6+…2n=2n" is true for n=1 but false for n=2, n=3 etc.
As the above sentence is definitely true or definitely false for a particular positive integral value of n, the sentence is a statement and it depends on nÎN for its truth-value. Such statements are called predicates and are symbolised as P(n).


Principle of Mathematical Induction (PMI)
A statement P(n) is true for all nÎN if
(i) P(1) is true (ii) P(r) is true implies P(r+1) is true.

Illustrative Examples

The following are the Illustrative Examples:
If P(n) is the statement n2-n+41 is prime, prove that P(1), P(2) are true but P(41) is not true.

Summary


1 A sentence is called a statement if it can be adjudged as true
or false
2. Every statement is a sentence, but a sentence may or may not be a statement.
3. A statement involving natural number n is generally denoted by P(n).

Conclusion:


Let n N and P(n) denote a certain statement or formula or theorem. Then P(n) holds good for every natural number n if
(i) it holds for n = 1 and
(ii) it holds for n = k+1 whenever it holds for n = k.

Geometric Series

Geometric Series:

In mathematics, a geometric series is a series with a constant ratio between successive terms. For example, the series

\frac{1}{2} \,+\, \frac{1}{4} \,+\, \frac{1}{8} \,+\, \frac{1}{16} \,+\, \cdots



is geometric, because each term except the first can be obtained by multiplying the previous term by \frac{1}{2} \ .

Geometric series are one of the simplest examples of infinite series with finite sums. Let us understand the role of geometric series,historically, geometric series played an important role in the early development of calculus, and they continue to be central in the study of convergence of series. Geometric series are used throughout mathematics, and they have important applications in physics, engineering, biology, economics, computer science, queueing theory, and finance.

A sequence of non negative numbers is called a geometric sequence where the ratio of of each term to its preceding term is the same except for the first term. A geometric series is a series whose terms are in geometric sequence.
There is an interesting story related with geometric series. It is said that the King of Persia was very impressed with the inventor of the board game chess ( believed to be from India ) that he offered to give him any reward. The inventor wanted one grain of wheat to be placed on the first square of the chessboard , two grains on the second square , four on the third , eight on the fourth and so on. This demand of the inventor seemed very small to the King.
We can see that the grains placed in the various squares are the terms of a geometric sequence 1, 2 1, 22, 23 , 24, ... 2 63
Sum of grains = S 64 = 1 + 2 1 + 2 2 + 2 3 + ...... + 2 63
We take the reverse order S 64 = 2 63+ 2 62 +.....+ 2 3 + 2 2 + 2 + 1 ------------> 1
2 * S 64 = 2 64 + 2 63 +.....2 4 + 2 3 + 2 2 +2 + 1 ----------->2
Subtract 1 from 2 S 64 = 2 64 - 1
A huge amount of grain.

Reciprocals

Reciprocals:

Introduction:

In this Blog Let us see the meaning of Reciprocal .In general definition of reciprocal number is multiplicative inverse of a number. The reciprocal number is commonly specified in following way. The number is n it is commonly denoted the reciprocal is 1/n. Another method for the denoted the reciprocal number is m/n the multiplicative inverse of a fraction is n/m. The example reciprocal of 91 is 1/91.
Reciprocal math is nothing but the reciprocal of a number in math. Reciprocal is any number that divides 1.If any number is considered and that number is represented as 1 divided by the considered number then such form of the number is called as reciprocal math.

Example:

If the number is 5 then the reciprocal of the number 5 is [1/5]

Reciprocal Math is mostly used in the division of a fraction number. In the case of dividing a fraction number by another fraction number then we just change the division symbol as multiplication symbol and take reciprocal math of the second number and perform multiplication. So in many cases to solve the math problem of different chapter reciprocal math is being used.

Examples on Reciprocal Math:

1. Find the reciprocal math of the following numbers.

a) 5

b) 21

c) 99

d) 10

e) [5/3]

f) [2/7]

g) [ 1/6]

Solution

The Reciprocal math of the number 5 is [1/5]

The Reciprocal math of the number 21 is [1/21]

The Reciprocal math of the number 99 is [1/99]

The Reciprocal math of the number 10 is [1/10]

The Reciprocal math of the number [5/3] is [3/5]

The Reciprocal math of the number [2/7 ] is [7/2]

The Reciprocal math of the number [1/6 ] is [6/1.] [6/1 ] can be written as 6

2. Divide [2/3] and [8/6]

Solution

[ 2/3] / [8/6]

Keep the first fraction as it is and change the divisible sign as multiplication and find the reciprocal math of second fraction [8/6]

The reciprocal of [8/6 ] is [6/8]

[2/3] * [6/8]

Now by simplifying these we get [1/2]

3. Perform the operation

[7/9] divide by 3

Solution

Here 3 can be written as [3/1]

[7/9] / [3/1]

Reciprocal math of [ 3/1] is [1/3]

[ 7/9] / [1/3]

[ 7/27]

Scatterplots


Scatterplots:
The general meaning of a scatter is to unevenly distribute,something that is not in an order.But here in mathematics the meaning of a scatterplot is a type of mathematical diagram using Cartesian coordinates to display values for two variables for a set of data.

It is very important to learn about the uses of a scatterplot,in Statistics a scatterplot is a graphic tool used to show the relationship between two quantitative variables. The variable that might be measured an expounding variable is plotted on the x-axis, and the response variable is plotted on the y-axis.It provides a graphical expose of the link between the two variables. It is also useful in the early stages of study when exploring records ahead of really devious a parallel coefficient or corrects a regression curve. For example, a scatter plot can aid one to decide whether a linear waning model is proper.
Statistical Scatterplots can explain a variety of patterns and associations in Statistics, such as:
  • Data association
  • Optimistic or direct relations between variables
  • Pessimistic or opposite associations between variables
  • Scattered record points
  • Non-linear pattern
  • Increase of data
  • Outliers.

Histogram

Histogram:

A two dimensional frequency density diagram is called a histogram. A histogram is a diagram which represents the class interval and frequency in the form of a rectangle. There will be as many adjoining rectangles as there are class intervals.

In statistics,simple explanation of a histogram is- a histogram is a graphical display of tabular frequencies, shown as adjacent rectangles. Each rectangle is erected over an interval, with an area equal to the frequency of the interval. The height of a rectangle is also equal to the frequency density of the interval, i.e. the frequency divided by the width of the interval. The total area of the histogram is equal to the number of data. A histogram may also be based on the relative frequencies instead. It then shows what proportion of cases fall into each of several categories (a form of data binning), and the total area then equals 1. The categories are usually specified as consecutive, non-overlapping intervals of some variable. The categories (intervals) must be adjacent, and often are chosen to be of the same size, but not necessarily so.

Now we will learn about the uses of a Histogram.Histograms are used to plot density of data, and often for density estimation: estimating the probability density function of the underlying variable. The total area of a histogram used for probability density is always normalized to 1. If the length of the intervals on the x-axis are all 1, then a histogram is identical to a relative frequency plot.
