Some properties of natural numbers :

1•Sum of first n natural numbers : 1 + 2 + 3 +……+ n = n ( n +1)/2

2• Sum of squares of first n natural numbers : 1² + 2² + 3² +……+ n² = n ( n +1) ( 2n +1) /6

3• Sum of cubes of first n natural numbers : 1³ + 2³ + 3³ +……+ n³ = [ n ( n +1)/2]²

4• Sum of first n odd numbers: n²

5• Sum of first n even numbers: n² + n

LOGARITHM

If a is a positive real number other than 1, and am = x, then we can write: m = logax, and we say that the value of log x to the base a is m.
Examples:

(i) 104 = 10000     log10 10000 = 4.

(ii) 35 = 243     log3 243 = 5.

(iii) (0.1)3 = 0.001     log (0.1) (0.001) = 3.

Counting in Geometry


(a) In a plane, if there are n points of which no three are collinear, then

  1. The number of straight lines that can be formed by joining them is nC2.
  2. The number of triangles that can be formed by joining them is nC3.
  3. The number of polygons with k sides that can be formed by joining them is nCk.

(b) In a plane, if there are n points out of which m points are collinear, then

  1. The number of straight lines that can be formed by joining them is nC2mC2 + 1.
  2. The number of triangles that can be formed by joining them is nC3mC3.
  3. The number of polygons with k sides that can be formed by joining them is nCkmCk.

(c) The number of diagonals of an n sided polygon is nC2 – n = n × (n – 3)/2
