  • Step 3: Using the assumption made in step 2, show that the statement is true for n = k  + 1. We have proved the statement is true for n = k. According to step 3, it is also true for k + 1 (i.e., 1 + 1 = 2). By repeating the above logic, it is true for every natural number.

Chapter 5: Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations

As the name of the chapter suggests, the Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations this chapter explains the concept of complex numbers and quadratic equations and their properties. The topics discussed are the square root, algebraic properties, argand plane and polar representation of complex numbers, and solutions of quadratic equations in the complex number system. 

The major topics covered in this chapter are determining the modulus and conjugate of a complex number, representing a complex number in the polar form on the argand plane. Solving a quadratic equation, and analyzing the discriminant of a quadratic equation are also explained in this chapter.

Useful Important Information Covered in CBSE Class 11 Chapter 5-Complex Numbers and Quadratic Equations are:

• Imaginary Numbers: The square root of a negative real number is called an imaginary number, e.g. √-2, √-5 etc. The quantity √-1 is an imaginary unit and it is denoted by ‘i’ called iota.

i = √-1, i² = -1, i³ = -i, i⁴ = 1

• Equality of Complex Number: Two complex numbers z₁ = x₁ + iy₁ and z₂ = x₂ + iy₂ are equal, if x₁ = x₂ and y₁ = y₂ i.e. Re(z₁) = Re(z₂) and Im(z₁) = Im(z₂)

Algebra of Complex Numbers

• Addition: Consider z₁ = x₁ + iy₁ and z₂ = x₂ + iy₂ are any two complex numbers, then their sum is defined as

z₁ + z₂ = (x₁ + iy₁) + (x₂ + iy₂) = (x₁ + x₂) + i (y₁ + y₂)

• Subtraction: Consider z₁ = (x₁ + iy₁) and z₂ = (x₂ + iy₂) are any two complex numbers, then their difference is defined as

z₁ – z₂ = (x₁ + iy₁) – (x₂ + iy₂) = (x₁ – x₂) + i(y₁ – y₂)

• Multiplication: Consider z₁ = (x₁ + iy₁) and z₂ = (x₂ + iy₂) be any two complex numbers, then their multiplication is defined as

z₁z₂ = (x₁ + iy₁) (x₂ + iy₂) = (x₁x₂ – y₁y₂) + i (x₁y₂ + x₂y₁)

• Division: Consider z₁ = x₁ + iy₁ and z₂ = x₂ + iy₂ be any two complex numbers, then their division is defined as

Conjugate of Complex Number: Consider z = x + iy, if ‘i’ is replaced by (-i), then it is called to be conjugate of the complex number z and it is denoted by z¯, i.e.

Modulus of a Complex Number: Consider z = x + iy be a complex number. So, the positive square root of the sum of square of real part and square of imaginary part is called modulus (absolute values) of z and it is denoted by |z| i.e.

|z| = √x₂+y₂

Argand Plane: Any complex number z = x + iy can be represented geometrically by a point (x, y) in a plane, called argand plane or gaussian plane. 

Argument of a complex Number: The angle made by line joining point z to the origin, with the positive direction of X-axis in an anti-clockwise sense is called argument or amplitude of complex number. It is denoted by the symbol arg(z) or amp(z).

arg(z) = θ = tan^-1(y/x)

• Principal Value of Argument
  • When x > 0 and y > 0 ⇒ arg(z) = θ
  • When x < 0 and y > 0 ⇒ arg(z) = π – θ
  • When x < 0 and y < 0 ⇒ arg(z) = -(π – θ)
  • When x > 0 and y < 0 ⇒ arg(z) = -θ

Polar Form of a Complex Number: When z = x + iy is a complex number, so z can be written as, 

• z = |z| (cosθ + isinθ), where θ = arg(z).

which is known as the polar form. 

Now, when the general value of the argument is θ, so the polar form of z is written as,

• z = |z| [cos (2nπ + θ) + isin(2nπ + θ)], where n is an integer.

Chapter 14: Mathematical Reasoning

Mathematical problem-solving skills help students in developing and enhance their reasoning abilities. Students will read sentences and make logical conclusions from them in this lesson. As the name suggests, the chapter explains the concepts of mathematical reasoning (a critical skill to analyze any given hypothesis in the context of mathematics). 

The topics explained in detail are compound statements, the negation, and implication of statements, how to validate statements as well as contrapositive and converse statements.

Important points learned in CBSE Class 11 Chapter 14- Mathematical Reasoning are:

• Compound statement: A statement is a compound statement if it is made up of two or more smaller statements. The smaller statements are called component statements of the compound statement. The Compound statements are made by:
  • Connectives: “AND”, “OR”
  • Quantifiers: “there exists”, “For every”
  • Implications: The meaning of implications “If ”, “only if ”, “ if and only if ”.
• “p ⇒ q” : 
  • p is a sufficient condition for q or p implies q.
  • q is necessary to condition for p. The converse of a statement p ⇒ q is the statement q ⇒ p.
  • p⇒ q together with its converse gives p if and only if q.
• “p ⇔ q”:
  • p implies q (denoted by p ⇒ q)
  • p is a sufficient condition for q
  • q is a necessary condition for p
  • p only if q
  • ∼q implies ∼p

Chapter 15: Statistics

Chapter 15 of Class 11 Maths is a very crucial lesson from an examination perspective. A student must revise Statistics from previous classes, and understand and memorize all the statistics formulas. Also, use these formulas to practice all the NCERT questions from Chapter 15 Statistics.

Chapter 15 of Class 11 Maths NCERT notes explains the concepts of statistics (data collected for specific purposes), dispersion, and methods of calculation for ungrouped and grouped data. The topics discussed are range, mean deviation, variance and standard deviation, and analysis of frequency distributions.

Some Important formulas covered in CBSE Class 11 Chapter 15- Statistics:

• Range: The measure of dispersion which is easiest to understand and easiest to calculate is the range. Range is defined as the difference between two extreme observation of the distribution.

Range of distribution = Largest observation – Smallest observation.

• Mean Deviation: Mean deviation for ungrouped data- For n observations x₁, x₂, x₃,…, x_n, the mean deviation about their mean x¯ is given by:

And, the Mean deviation about its median M is given by,

Mean deviation for discrete frequency distribution- 

• Variance: Variance is the arithmetic mean of the square of the deviation about mean x¯. Let x₁, x₂, ……x_n be n observations with x¯ as the mean, then the variance denoted by σ², is given by

• Standard deviation: If σ² is the variance, then σ is called the standard deviation is given by

Standard deviation of a discrete frequency distribution is given by

• Coefficient of variation: In order to compare two or more frequency distributions, we compare their coefficient of variations. The coefficient of variation is defined as

Coefficient of variation = (Standard deviation / Mean) × 100

Chapter 16: Probability

Class 11 Maths Probability builds on previous classes by introducing students to probability concepts such as random experiments, outcomes, sample space, different sorts of events, and other related principles that make up the chapter’s backbone.

Chapter 16 of Class 11 Maths NCERT notes discusses the concept of probability (a measure of uncertainty of various phenomena or a chance of occurrence of an event). The topics discussed are random experiments, outcomes, sample spaces, event, and their type. 

Major points covered in CBSE Class 11 Chapter 16- Probability:

• For any random experiment, let S be the sample space. The probability P is a real-valued function whose domain is the power set of S and [0, 1] is the range interval. For any event E: P(E) ≥ 0 and P(S) = 1
• Mutually exclusive events: If E and F are mutually exclusive events, then: P(E ∪ F) = P(E) + P(F)
• Equally likely outcomes: All outcomes with equal probability are called equally likely outcomes. Let S be a finite sample space with equally likely outcomes and A be the event. Therefore, the probability of an event A is: P(A) = n(A) / n(S), where n(A) is the number of elements on the set A and n(S) is the Total number of outcomes or the number of elements in the sample space S
  • Let P and Q be any two events, then the following formulas can be derived.
    • Event P or Q: The set P ∪ Q
    • Event P and Q: The set P ∩ Q
    • Event P and not Q: The set P – Q
    • P and Q are mutually exclusive if P ∩ Q = φ
    • Events P₁, P₂, . . . . . , P_n are exhaustive and mutually exclusive if P₁ ∪ P₂ ∪ . . . . . ∪ P_n = S and E_i ∩ E_j = φ for all i ≠ j.
