    Parabola - Notes, Concept and All Important Formula

    PARABOLA 1. CONIC SECTIONS : A conic section, or conic is the locus of a point which moves in a plane so that its distance from a fixed point is in a constant ratio to its perpendicular distance from a fixed straight line. (a) The fixed point is called the FOCUS. (b) The fixed straight line is called the DIRECTRIX. (c) The constant ratio is called the ECCENTRICITY denoted by e. (d) The line passing through the focus & perpendicular to the directrix is called the AXIS. (e) A point of intersection of a conic with its axis is called a VERTEX.

    Complex Number - Notes, Concept and All Important Formula

    COMPLEX NUMBER 1. DEFINITION : Complex numbers are defined as expressions of the form \(a + ib\) where \(a, b \in R \quad \& i=\sqrt{-1}\) . It is denoted by \(z\) i.e. \(z=a+i b\) . 'a' is called real part of \(z(a=R e z)\) and ' \(b\) ' is called imaginary part of \(z(b=\operatorname{Im} z)\) Note : (i) The set \(R\) of real numbers is a proper subset of the Complex Numbers. Hence the Complex Number system is \(N \subset W \subset I \subset Q \subset R \subset C\) (ii) Zero is both purely real as well as purely imaginary but not imaginary. (iii) \(i =\sqrt{-1}\) is called the imaginary unit. Also \(i ^{2}=-1 ;\, i ^{3}=- i\) ; \(i ^{4}=1\) etc. (iv) \(\sqrt{a} \sqrt{b}=\sqrt{a b}\) only if atleast one of a or \(b\) is non-negative.

CONJUGATE COMPLEX : If \(z=a+i b\) then its conjugate complex is obtained by changing the sign of its imaginary part \(\&\) is denoted by \(\bar{z}\) . i.e. \(\bar{...
