AREA UNDER THE CURVE 1. The area bounded by the curve \(y=f(x)\) , the \(x\) -axis and the ordinates \(x=a \) & \(x=b\) is given by,  \(A=\displaystyle \int_{a}^{b} f(x) \,\, dx=\displaystyle \int_{a}^{b} y \,\, dx, f(x) \geq 0\) All Chapter Notes, Concept and Important Formula 2. If the area is below the \(x\) -axis then \(A\) is negative. The convention is to consider the magnitude only i.e. \(A=\left|\displaystyle \int_{a}^{b} y \,\, dx\right|\) in this case. 3.

Determinant - Notes, Concept and All Important Formula

DETERMINANT 1. MINORS : The minor of a given element of determinant is the determinant of the elements which remain after deleting the row & the column in which the given element stands. For example, the minor of \(a _{1}\) in \(\left|\begin{array}{lll} a _{1} & b _{1} & c _{1} \\ a _{2} & b _{2} & c _{2} \\ a _{3} & b _{3} & c _{3}\end{array}\right|\) is \(\left|\begin{array}{ll} b _{2} & c _{2} \\ b _{3} & c _{3}\end{array}\right| \&\) the minor of \(b_{2}\) is \(\quad\left|\begin{array}{ll}a_{1} & c_{1} \\ a_{3} & c_{3}\end{array}\right|\) . Hence a determinant of order three will have " 9 minors". 2. COFACTORS : If \(M _{ ij }\) represents the minor of the element belonging to \(i ^{\text {th }}\) row and \(j ^{\text {th }}\) column then the cofactor of that element : \(C_{i j}=(-1)^{i+j} \cdot M_{i j}\) Important Note : Consider \(\Delta=\left|\begin{array}{lll}a_{1} & a_{2} & a_{3} \\ b_{1} & b_{2} ...
