Geometric Progression (GP)

A

sequence

of

non-zero

numbers

is

called a geome

progression,

if the

ratio

of

a

term

and

the term

precedin

it is always

constant.

The

constant

ratio,

general

denoted

by

r is

called

the

common

ratio

of the

GP.

In other words,

if a1,a2,4g,..

., ay are

in

GP, then

2= " = 7 = r(say) where r is known as common

If each term of a

given

AP is

multiplied

or divided

by

a non-zero constant

k,

then the

resulting sequence

QUADRATIC EQUATIONS

AND INEQUALITIES

In

NDA exam,

generally

4- questions

are asked from

this chapter

which

are based

on

nature

of

roots,

finding

roots in different

conditions,

find

equation

when

roots are given

and solving

in

equations etc.

When

we

equate

quadratic

polynomial

of the

form (ax*

bx + c) equal

to

zero

we

get

a quadratic

equation,

where a,

b and

c

are real

numbers

and

a

#0.

If

f(x)

is a

real

or complex

polynomial, then

f(x)=

is

known

as a polynomial

equation.

e.

If x

is

a

real polynomial,

then

x +

3x+2=

is

a polynomial

equation.

QUADRATIC EQUATION

If

fx)

is

a

polynomial of

degree

2,

then

f(x)=

is

called

a quadratic

equation.

The general

form of a

quadratic

equation

is

ax*

bx

+c=0,

where ,

b

and c are

real

numbers

and a # 0.

Here,

x is the

variable

and a, b,

c

are

the

real

coefficients.

Roots

of

a

Quadratic

Equation

The

values

of

the

variable satistying

the

given

quadratic

equation

are called

roots of

that equation.

In

other

words,

x

= o is

a

root

of the equation,

f(x)=0,

if

f(a)

=0.

The set

of

all

roots

of

an equation,

in a

given

domain,

is

called the

solution

set of

the equation.

The

quadratic

equation

axs

namely

called the

Note

If one

the quadratic equation

is a

then the

other root

will be a
