Types of Matrices
(1) Equivalent Matrices : Two matrices are said to be equivalent if the order is the same.
(2) Equal Matrices : Two matrices are said to be equal if the corresponding elements are equal.
(3) Rectangular & Square Matrices : A matrix of order m × n is said to be rectangular if m ≠ n, square if m = n.
(4) Row Matrix : A matrix having only one row is called Row Matrix.
(5) Column Matrix : A matrix having only one column is called Column Matrix.
(6) Null Matrix or Zero Matrix : A matrix in which all the elements are zeros is called Null Matrix or Zero Matrix
denoted as O. [English alphabet O not zero where as elements are zeros]

(10) Transpose of a Matrix : If A is any matrix then the matrix obtained by interchanging the rows & columns of A is
called 'Transpose of A and it is written as A' or AT.
a b
a e
Example : If A = c d  then A′ is
c
b f 
e f   d
A is of order 3 × 2 but A' is of order 2 × 3.
Matrix addition
Two matrices can be added or subtracted if their orders are same.
 a1 b1 c1  c d1 e1 
Example : If A =   & B =  1 
 a2 b2 c2   c2 d2 e2 
 a +c b1 + d1 c1 + e1 
A + B =  1 1 
 a2 + c2 b2 + d 2 c2 + e2 
 a −c b1 − d1 c1 − e1 
A − B =  1 1 
 a2 − c2 b2 − d 2 c2 − e2 
Matrix Multiplication
If A is a matrix of order m × p and B is matrix of order p × n, then the product AB is defined and its order is m × n. (ie. for AB
to be defined number of columns of A must be same as number of rows of B)
α 1 β1 
a b1 c1   
Example : Let A =  1  & B = α 2 β2 
 a2 b2 c2  α β 3 
 3
 a1α1 + b1α 2 + c1α 3 a1 β1 + b1 β 2 + c1 β 3 

then AB =  
 a 2α1 + b2α 2 + c2α 3 a 2 β1 + b2 β 2 + c2 β 3 
which is of order 2 × 2.
Note :- If A is multiplied by A then AA is denoted as A2, AAA.... as A3 etc.

Scalar Multiplication of a Matrix

If A is a matrix of any order and K is a scalar (a constant), then KA represent a matrix in which every element of A is multiplied
by K.

Symmetric and Skew Symmetric Matrices

Let A be a matrix of order n × n an element in ith row and jth column can be denoted as aij. Hence a matrix of order n × n can
be denoted as (aij) or [aij] where i = 1, 2, .......n, j = 1, 2, .......n
A matrix of order n × n is said to be Symmetric if aij = aji and Skew Symmetric if aij = –aji or A is symmetric if A = AT
or A = A', skew symmetric if A = –AT or A = –A' also A + A' is symmetric & A – A' is skew symmetric.
Note :- In a skew symmetric matrix the elements in principal diagonal are all zeros.

Determinant
A determinant is defined as a mapping (function) from the set of square matrices to the set of real numbers.
If A is a square matrix its determinant is denoted as A .
 a1 b1 c1  a1 b1 c1
Example : Let A = a2 b2 
c2  then det. A or A = a2 b2 c2
 a3 b3 c3  a3 b3 c3
Minors and Co-factors

Let A = ( aij ) i = 1, 2, 3 j = 1, 2, 3

A = a 21 a22 a23
a31 a32 a33
a 22 a 23
Consider
a32 a33 which is a determinant formed by leaning all the elements of row and column in which all lies. This
determinant is called Minor of a11. Thus we can form nine minors. In general if A is matrix of order n × n then minor of aij is
obtained by leaning all the elements in the row and column in which aij lies in A . The order of this minor is n – 1where as the
order of given determinant is n if this minor is multiplied by (–1)i + j then it is called Co-factors of aij.
 a11 a12 a13 

a32 a33 a32 a33
Value of a determinant
Consider a matrix A of order n × n. Consider all the elements of any row or column and multiply each element by its corresponding
co-factor. Then the algebraic sum of the product is the value of the determinant.
a1 b1
Example : Let A =
a2 b2
Co-factor of a1 is b2
Co-factor of b1 is –a2
∴ A = a1b2 − b1a2
a1 b1 c1
Let A = a2 b2 c2
a3 b3 c3
b2 c2 b2 c2
Co - factor of a1 is ( −1)1+1 =
b3 c3 b3 c3
a2 c2 a2 c2
Co - factor of b1 is ( −1)1+ 2 =−
a3 c3 a3 c3
a2 b2 a2 b2
Co - factor of c1 is ( −1)1+ 3 =
a3 b3 a3 b3
b2 c2 a2 c2 a2 b2
∴ A = a1 − b1 + c1
b3 c3 a3 c3 a3 b3
= a1 (b2 c3 − b3c2 ) − b1 (a 2 c3 − a3c 2 ) + c1 ( a 2b3 − a3b2 )
= a1b2 c3 − a1b3c2 ) − a 2 b1c3 − a3b1c2 + a 2 b3 c1 − a3b2 c1

Properties of determinants
(1) If the elements of any two rows or columns are interchanged then value of the determinant changes only in sign.
(2) If the elements of two rows or columns are identical then the value of the determinant is zero.
(3) If all the elements of any row or column is multipled by a constant K, then the value of the determinant is multipled
by K.
(4) If all the elements of any row or column are written as sum of two elements then the determinant can be written as
sum of two determinants.
(5) If all the elements of any row or column are multiplied by a constant and added to the corresponding elements of
any other row or column then the value of the determinant donot alter.

Cayley - Hamilton Theorem

Every square matrix satisfies its characteristic equation.
a b a −λ b
Let A =   Characteristic equation is =0
c d c d −λ
which on simplification becomes a quadric equation in λ in the form λ2 + a1λ + a2 = 0 where a1, a2 are constants.
Cayley Hamilton Theorem states that A2 + a1 A + a2 I = 0 where I is a unit matrix of order 2 & 0 is a null matrix of order 2.
 a1 b1 c1 
 
If A =  a2 b2 c2 
a c3 
 3 b3
a1 − λ b1 c1
then characteristic equation is a 2 b2 − λ c 2 =0
a3 b3 c3 − λ
which on simplification becomes − λ3 + a1λ2 + a2 λ + a3 = 0 which is a cubic equation.
Then as per Cayley Hamilton Theorem − A3 + a1 A 2 + a2 A + a3 I = 0 where I is a unit matrix of order 3 & 0 is a null
matrix of order 3.
In general if A is a square matrix of order n then characteristic equation will be of the form
(−1) n λn + aλn −1 + a2 λn − z + ........ + an I = 0

and by Cayley Hamilton Theorem
(−1) n A n + aA n −1 + a2 A n − z + ........ + an I = 0
where I is a unit matrix of order n & 0 is a null matrix of order n.
Note :- If we put λ = 0 in the characteristic equation then an = A
∴ If an = 0, matrix A is singular & a n ≠ 0 the matrix A is non-singular & hence inverse exists and we can find the
inverse of A using Cayley Hamilton Theorem.
Example - 1
a b
Let A =  

a −λ b
Characteristic equation is =0
c d −λ
ie λ2 + a1λ + a2 = 0 where a1, a2 are constants.
By Cayley Hamilton Theorem
A2 + a1 A + a2 I = 0
multiply both sides by A–1
then A2 A−1 + a1 AA−1 + a2 A−1 = 0
ie A + a1 I + a2 A−1 = 0
∴ a2 A−1 = −( A + a1I )

∴ A −1 = − ( A + a1 I )

22 KSOU Algebraic Structures
Definitions
(1) A non-empty set S with one or more binary operations is called an 'Algebraic Structure'.
(N, +), (Z, +, ×), (Q, +, ×) are all algebraic structures.
(2) Closure Law : A set S is said to be closed under a B.O. ∗ if ∀ a, b ∈ S, a ∗ b ∈ S.
(3) Associative Law : A B.O. ∗ is said to be associative on S if ∀ a, b, c ∈ S

(a ∗ b) ∗ c = a ∗ (b ∗ c)
(4) Commutative Law : A B.O. ∗ is said to be commutative on S if ∀ a, b ∈ S, a ∗ b = b ∗ a.
(5) Identity Law : An element e ∈ S satisfying

a ∗ e = a = e ∗ a. ∀ a ∈ S is called an identity element for the B.O. ∗ on S.
Examples
(i) + and × (addition and multiplication) are associative and commutative on N, Z, Q & R.
(ii) B.O. – (subtraction) is not associative & commutative.
(iii) 1 is an identity for B.O. × on N but + has no identity on N. Where as O is an identity on Z, Q and R for the B.O. +.
1 0 
(iv) If S is a set of 2 × 2 matrices and B.O. is matrix multiplication then I =   is an identity element.
0 1 
Group
A non-empty set G together with a B.O. ∗ ie (G, ∗) is said to form a group if the following axioms are satisfied.
G1. Closure Law : ∀ a, b ∈ G, a ∗ b ∈ G
G2. Associative Law : ∀ a, b, c ∈ G, (a ∗ b) ∗ c = a ∗ (b ∗ c)
G3. Identity Law : There exists an element e ∈ G such that ∀ a ∈ G, a ∗ e = a = e ∗ a.
G4. Inverse : ∀ a ∈ G, there exists an element b such that a ∗ b = e = b ∗ a. This b is called inverse of a and usually denoted
as a–1
ie. a ∗ a–1 = e = a–1 ∗ a.
In addition to the above four axions if ∀ a, b ∈ G, a ∗ b = b ∗ a. Then (G, ∗) is called an 'abelian group' or 'commutative
group'.
Note (1) If for (G, ∗) only G1 is satisfied it is called a 'groupoid'.
(2) If for (G, ∗) G1 & G2 are satisfied it is called a 'semi-group'.
(3) If for (G, ∗) G1, G2 & G3 are satisfied it is called 'Monoid'.
Examples
(i) (N, +) is a groupoid and semigroup.
(ii) (N, ×) is a groupoid, semigroup and Monoid (identity for × is 1)
(iii) (Z, +) is a group (identity is O and a–1 = –a) ie. a + (–a) = 0 = –a + a.
Note :- Every group is a monoid but the converse is not true, (Z, +) is a group and also a monoid but (N, ×) is a monoid but
not a group.
Properties of Groups
1. Cancellation laws are valid in a group
ie if (G , ∗) is a group then ∀ a, b, c ∈ G ,
(i) a ∗ b = a ∗ c ⇒ b = c (left cancellation law)
(ii ) b ∗ a = c ∗ a ⇒ b = c ( right cancellation law)
Proof :- a ∗ b = a ∗ c, as a ∈ G, a −1 ∈ G
∴ a −1 ∗ (a ∗ b) = a −1 ∗ (a ∗ c)
ie (a −1 ∗ a) ∗ b = (a −1 ∗ a) ∗ c
ie e ∗ b = e ∗ c where e is the identity.
⇒b=c
Similarly by considering
(b ∗ a) ∗ a −1 = (c ∗ a) ∗ a −1
we get b = c
2. In a group G, the equations a ∗ x = b and y ∗ a = b have unique solutions, ∀a, b ∈ G.

Proof :- a ∗ x = b
Operating on both sides by a–1
a −1 ∗ (a ∗ x) = a −1 ∗ b
ie (a −1 ∗ a) ∗ x = a −1 ∗ b
ie e ∗ x = a −1 ∗ b
∴ x = a −1 ∗ b
To prove that the solution is unique, let x1 & x2 be two solutions of a ∗ x = b.

ie a ∗ x1 = b & a ∗ x2 = b
⇒ a ∗ x1 = a ∗ x2
Operating on both sides by a–1
We get a −1 ∗ (a ∗ x1 ) = a −1 ∗ (a ∗ x2 )
ie (a −1 ∗ a ) ∗ x1 = (a −1 ∗ a) ∗ x2
ie e ∗ x1 = e ∗ x2
⇒ x1 = x2
∴ solution is unique.
3. In a group the identity element and inverse of an element are unique.
Proof :- To prove identity is unique. If possible let e1 & e2 are two identities then
∀a ∈ G, a ∗ e1 = a = e1 ∗ a (1)
& a ∗ e2 = a = e2 ∗ a (2)
From LHS of (1), a ∗ e1 = a = e2 ∗ a (using (2))
ie a ∗ e1 = e2 ∗ a = a ∗ e2 (using LHS of (2))
by left cancellation, e1 = e2 . Thus the identity is unique.
To prove that inverse of an element is unique.

Let a ∈ G , if possible let b & c are inverses of a ie b −1 = a and c −1 = a
Now, a ∗ b = e & a ∗ c = e
where e is the identity of the group
∴ a ∗b = a ∗c
by left cancellation law b = c. Thus inverse of an element is unique.
4. ( )
In a group G, a −1
−1
= a ∀a ∈ G
Proof :- As a–1 is the inverse of a
We have a ∗ a −1 = e = a −1 ∗ a
it can be easily seen from above relation that inverse of a–1 is a ie a −1( ) −1
=a.
Note :- If b & c are elements of G, such that b ∗ c = e = c ∗ b then each is the inverse of the other.
5. In a group (G , ∗)
∀a, b ∈ G, (a ∗ b) −1 = b −1 ∗ a −1
Proof :- Consider (a ∗ b) ∗ (b −1 ∗ a −1 )
= a ∗ (b ∗ b −1 ) ∗ a −1 = a ∗ e ∗ a −1 = a ∗ a −1 = e
∴ (a ∗ b) −1 = b −1 ∗ a −1
6. A group of order 3 is abelian.
Proof :- Order of group means the number of elements in a group. If a group G has n elements. The order of G is n, which
is denoted as O(G) = n.
If n is finite it is called finite group and n is Infinite then it is called Infinite group.
Let G = { e, a, b} be a group with a binary operation ∗.

e is the identity by definition of identity it commutes with every element Q a ∗ e = a = e ∗ a
So we have to prove that a ∗ b = b ∗ a
Let a ∗ b = a ⇒ (a −1 ∗ a) ∗ b = a −1 ∗ a ⇒ e ∗ b = e ⇒ b = e
which is not possible.
Let a ∗ b = b
⇒ (a ∗ b) ∗ b −1 = b ∗ b −1 ⇒ a ∗ e = e ⇒ a = e
which is not possible.
a ∗ b cannote be equal to a or b ∴ a ∗ b = e
Similarly we can prove that
b∗a = e
∴ a ∗ b = b ∗ a ∴ (G, ∗) is abelian.
Subgroups
A non-empty subset H of a group G is said to form a subgroup with respect to the same binary operation ∗ if ( H , ∗) is a
group.
Eg. (1) (z, +) is a subgroup of (Q, +)
(2) H = { 0, 2, 4} is a subgroup of G = { 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5} with B.O. + mod 6 ie ⊕ 6
(3) H = { −1, 1} is a subgroup of G = {1, − 1, i, − i} with respect to the B.O. multiplication.
Theorem
A non-empty subset H of a group G is a subgroup of G if and only if ∀a, b ∈ H , ab −1 ∈ H .
Proof :- case (i) Let H be a subgroup of G then H is a group

∴ ∀a, b ∈ G, b −1 ∈ G (inverse axion) & ab −1 ∈ G (closure law)
∴ condition is satisfied.
case (ii) Let H be a non-empty subset of G with the property ∀a, b ∈ H , ab −1 ∈ H .
We have to prove that H is a subgroup.
Let a ∈ H , a, a −1 ∈ H ⇒ aa −1 = e ∈ H & e, a ∈ H ⇒ ea −1 ∈ H ie a −1 ∈ H
Since all elements of H are elements of G, associative property is satisfied.
Let b ∈ H , b −1 ∈ H & for a ∈ H , a b −1 ( ) −1

ie ab ∈ H ie closure property is satisfied.
Hence H is a group and hence a subgroup.
Permutation group
Let S = { a1 , a 2 , a3 , .......... a n }
Then a one-one and onto mapping or function from S onto itself is called a Permutation.
 a1 a2 a3 .......... a n 
Permutation is denoted as  
 f ( a1 ) f (a 2 ) f ( a3 ) .......... f ( a n ) 
There will be n ! ie ∠n permutations the set of permutations is denoted by Sn.
Let f , g ∈ S n . There is a composite mapping for f & g denoted as f o g , this can be taken as binary operation. Then the
set Sn with binary operation 'O' (ie composite mapping) will form a group. For convenience f o g is denoted as gf.
1 2 3 4 1 2 3 4
Let f =   & g =   ∈ S 4 the B.O. composite function is given by
3 1 4 2 2 3 4 1
1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4 
f o g =   o   =  
 3 1 4 2   2 3 4 1  ? ? ? ?
to fill up the second row, following is the procedure.
in g : g (1) = 2, g ( 2) = 3, g (3) = 4, g ( 4) = 1
& in f : f (1) = 3, f ( 2) = 1, f (3) = 4, f ( 4) = 2
Now f o g (1) = f [ g (1)] = f ( 2) = 1
f o g ( 2) = f [ g ( 2)] = f (3) = 4
f o g (3) = f [ g (3)] = f ( 4) = 2
f o g ( 4) = f [ g (4)] = f (1) = 3
1 2 3 4 
∴ f o g =  
1 4 2 3 
for convenience f o g is written as gf
1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4 
ie f o g =   o   =  
3 1 4 2  2 3 4 1  1 4 2 3 
 1 2 3 4   1 2 3 4  1 2 3 4 
& gf =     =  
 2 3 4 1   3 1 4 2  1 4 2 3 
the composite function is also called product function.
Eg. (1) Let S = {1, 2}

1 2   1 2 
then S 2 =  ,  
1 2   2 1 
Let B.O. be product permutation
1 2   1 2   1 2 
then     =  
1 2   2 1   2 1 
1 2   1 2  1 2
  = 
1 2  1 2  1 2 
1 2   1 2  1 2
  = 
2 1   2 1  1 2 
1 2 
closure law is satisfied, associative law can be easily verified. inverse e =  
1 2 
−1
1 2  1 2 
  =  
 1 2  1 2 
−1
1 2 1 2
  =  
2 1  2 1 
∴ S2 forms a group.
Eg. (2) Let S = {1, 2, 3}
1 2 3  1 2 3   1 2 3  1 2 3 1 2 3  1 2 3 

1 2 3  1 3 2   3 2 1  2 3 1 3 1 2  3 2 1 
Let us denote the elements as f1 , f 2 , f 3 , f 4 , f 5 & f 6 respectively.
ie S 3 = {f1 , f 2 , f 3 , f 4 , f 5 , f 6 }
The following is the multiplication table. f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6

f1 f1 f2 f3 f4 f5 f6
f2 f2 f1 f4 f3 f6 f5
f3 f3 f5 f1 f6 f2 f4
f4 f4 f6 f2 f5 f1 f3
f5 f5 f3 f6 f1 f4 f2
f6 f6 f4 f5 f2 f3 f1
It can be seen from the table that closure law is satisfied.

For associative law
Consider ( f 3 f 4 ) f 5 = f 6 f 5 = f 3
f 3 ( f 4 f 5 ) = f 3 f1 = f 3
∴ ( f 3 f 4 ) f 5 = f 3 ( f 4 f 5 ) hence associative law is satisfied.
identity e = f1
f1−1 = f1 , f 2−1 = f 2 f 3−1 = f 3 , f 4−1 = f 5 f 5−1 = f 4 & f 6−1 = f 6

inverse of all elements exists.
∴ S3 forms a group, but it is not an abelian group
Q f 3 f 4 = f 6 but f 4 f 3 = f 2 ∴ f 3 f 4 ≠ f 4 f 3 .
Examples
(1) Show that the set R - {o} with B.O. × forms a group.
Solution : For any elements a, b ∈ R - {o}. a ∗ b ∈ R - {o}
2, 3 ∈ R - {o}, 2 × 3 = 6 ∈ R - {o}
∴ closure law is satisfied.
For any three elements a, b, c ∈ R - {o}
(a × b)× c = a × (b × c)
(–3 × 4) × 5 = –12 × 5 = –60.
–3 × (4 × 5) = –3 × 20 = –60.
∴ associative law is satisfied.
Identity element is 1,
ie. ∀ a ∈ R - {o}, a × 1 = a = 1 × a.
Let a ∈ R - {o} then there exists
1 1 1
∈ R - { o} such that a × = 1 = × a
a a a
∴ inverse exists for all elements R - {o}.
∴ (R - {o}, ×) forms an abelian group.
(2) Show that ( Z 5 , ⊕ 5 ) forms an abelian group.
Solution : Let us construct table for ( Z 5 , ⊕ 5 )
⊕5 0 1 2 3 4
0 0 1 2 3 4
1 1 2 3 4 0
2 2 3 4 0 1
3 3 4 0 1 2
4 4 0 1 2 3
From the above table it can be easily seen that closure law is satisfied.
2 ⊕ 5 (3 ⊕ 5 4) = 2 ⊕ 5 2 = 4
( 2 ⊕ 5 3) ⊕ 5 4 = 0 ⊕ 5 4 = 4
ie 2 ⊕ 5 (3 ⊕ 5 4) = ( 2 ⊕ 5 3) ⊕ 5 4
∴ associative law can be versified.

identity element is 0.
inverse of 0 is 0
inverse of 1 is 4
inverse of 2 is 3
inverse of 3 is 2
inverse of 4 is 1
∴ ( Z 5 , ⊕ 5 ) form a group, further it can be seen from the table that for any two element a, b ∈ Z5
a ⊕5 b = b ⊕5 a
∴ ( Z 5 , ⊕ 5 ) is an abelian group.
(3) Show that G = {1, 2, 3, 4} with B.O. multiplication mod 5 ie ⊗ 5 is an abelian group.
Solution : The following in the relevant table for elements
⊗5 1 2 3 4
1 1 2 3 4
2 2 4 1 3
3 3 1 4 2
4 4 3 2 1
From the above table it can be seen that closure law is satisfied.
( 2 ⊗5 3) ⊗5 4 = 1 ⊗5 4 = 4
2 ⊗5 (3 ⊗5 4) = 2 ⊗5 2 = 4
∴ associate law is satisfied.
identity is 1.
inverse of 1 is 1
inverse of 2 is 3
inverse of 3 is 2
inverse of 4 is 4
∴ (G , ⊗5 ) forms a group and it can be seen from the table that it forms an abelian group.
4. If R is the set of real numbers and ∗ is a binary operation defined on R as x ∗ y = 1 + xy, ∀ x, y ∈ R.

Show that ∗ is commutative but not associative.
Commutative property a ∗ b = b ∗ a, ∀ a, b ∈ R
x ∗ y = 1 + xy
y ∗ x = 1 + yx ∴ x∗ y = y∗ x
Associative property ( x ∗ y ) ∗ z = x ∗ ( y ∗ z )
LHS = (1 + xy ) ∗ z = P ∗ z = 1 + pz = 1 + (1 + xy ) z = 1 + z + xyz
RHS = x ∗ (1 + yz ) = x ∗ Q = 1 + xQ = 1 + x(1 + yz ) = 1 + x + xyz
∴ LHS ≠ RHS ∴ ∗ is not a associative
5. Show that set of integers with a ∗ b = a − b where a, b ∈ I is not a group

a ∗ b = a − b ∈ I ∴ closure axiom is satisfied
( a ∗ b) ∗ c ≠ a ∗ (b ∗ c), a ∗ b = a − b ∈ I , ∀ a, b ∈ I .
LHS = ( a − b) ∗ c = a − b − c
RHS = a ∗ (b − c ) = a − b + c ∴ associative axiom is not satisfied
∴ ( I , ∗) is not a group.
When one of the axiom is not satisfied, it is not a group. Hence, we need not have to check the rest of the axioms.

7. Prove that G = {cosθ + i sinθ θ is real} is an abelian group under multiplication
G = {cosθ + i sinθ θ is real}

Let x, y, z be any three elements of G.
Take x = cos α + i sin α , y = cos β + i sin β , z = cos γ + i sin γ .
where α , β , γ are real numbers.
i) xy = (cos α + i sin α )(cos β + i sin β ) = cos(α + β ) + i sin(α + β ) ∈ G Q (α + β ) is real
∴ Closure axiom is satisfied
ii) (xy ) z = [(cos α + i sin α )(cos β + i sin β )](cos γ + i sin γ )
= {cos( α + β ) + i sin(α + β )}(cos γ + i sin γ )
= cos{(α + β ) + γ } + i sin{(α + β ) + γ }
= cos{α + ( β + γ )} + i sin{α + ( β + γ )}
= x (yz) Q multiplication is associative on R ∴ Associative axiom is satisfied.
iii) 1 = cos 0 + i sin 0 ∈ G is the identity element
iv) (cos θ + i sinθ )(cosθ − i sinθ ) = 1 ⇒ cos θ − i sinθ is the multiplicative inverse of cos θ + i sinθ .
v) xy = (cos θ + i sin α )(cos β + i sin β )

= cos(α + β ) + i sin(α + β )
= cos( β + α ) + i sin(β + α ) Q is commutative on R
= yx
∴ Commutative law is satisfied.
So all the axioms are satisfied. Hence, G is an abelian group under multiplication.
8. Show that the cube roots of unity form an abelian group under multiplication
We know that the cube roots of unity are 1, ω and ω 2 . Let G = {1, ω , ω 2 }
. 1 ω ω2
1 1 ω ω2 here ω 3 = 1
ω ω ω2 1 & ω 4 = ω 3 ⋅ ω = ω.
ω2 ω2 1 ω
i) All the entries in the table are the same as the elements of the set. This means the closure law is satisfied.
ii) Consider 1⋅ (ω ⋅ ω 2 ) = 1⋅1 = 1
(1⋅ ω ) ⋅ ω 2 = ω ⋅ ω 2 = 1
∴ 1⋅ (ω ⋅ ω 2 ) = (1⋅ ω ) ⋅ ω 2 . Associative law is satisfied.
iii) The row heading 1 is the same as the topmost row.

∴ 1 is the identity element.
iv) Inverse of 1 is 1, inverse of ω is ω2 and inverse of ω2 is ω.

Every element has a inverse.
v) The table is symmetrical about the principal diagonal

∴ commutative law holds good.
So G is an abelian group under multiplication.

Similarly, it can be shown that BA = C , AC = CA = B, BC = CB = A, A ⋅ A = I etc.
The composition table is . I A B C

I I A B C
A A I C B
B B C I A
C C B A I
i) The entries in the table are the same as the elements of the set G. ∴ Closure law is satisfied.
ii) A( BC ) = A( A) = I ; ( AB)C = (C )C = I ∴ Associative law is satisfied.
iii) I is the identity element.
iv) Inverses of I , A, B are respectively I , A, B, C. ∴ G is a group under matrix multiplication
∴ (G , ⋅) is a group.
v) Since the entries on either side of the leading diagonal are symmetric, (G, ⋅) is an abelian group.
10. If every element of a group G has its own inverse, show that G is abelian
Given a −1 = a, ∀ a, b ∈ G (1)
we know that, ∀ a, b ∈ G, (ab) −1 = b −1a −1 (2)
from (1), a −1 = a, b −1 = b and (ab) −1 = ab. Using these in (2), ab = ba, ∀ a, b ∈ G

∴ the commutative law is satisfied, so G is abelian.
11. In a group (G, ⋅) if (ab) 2 = a 2b 2 , ∀ a, b ∈ G. Prove that (G, ⋅) is abelian and conversely.
(ab) 2 = (ab)(ab) = (aa)(bb)

⇒ a[b( ab)] = a[ a (bb)] using L.C.L.
⇒ b( ab) = a (bb) ⇒ (ba)b = ( ab)b using RCL ⇒ ba = ab ∴ it is abelian
Conversely
If ab = ba pre operating by a we get, a ( ab) = a (ba ) ⇒ ( a ⋅ a )b = ( ab) a
post operating by b we get [(a ⋅ a ) ⋅ b] = [(ab) a ]b
⇒ (a ⋅ a)(b ⋅ b) = (ab)(ab) ⇒ a 2b 2 = (ab) 2

ii) (2 m ⋅ 2 n )2 r = 2 m ⋅ (2 n ⋅ 2 r ), ∀ m, n, r ∈ z ie (2 m+ n )2 r = 2 m (2 n + r )
2 ( m+ n) + r = 2 m + ( n + r ) i.e. 2 m + n + r = 2 m + n + r ∴ Associative law is satisfied.

iii) 20 is the identity element
iv) ∀2 m ; there exist 2 − m such that 2 m ⋅ 2 − m = 20 ∴ Inverse of 2 m is 2 − m.

∴ H is a group under multiplication and H ⊂ Q0 ie H is a subgroup of Q0 under multiplication.

Vectors and Scalars

Vector : A physical quantity which has both direction and magnitude is called a 'Vector'.
B
Eg. Velocity, acceleration, force, weight etc.
Scalar : A physical quantity which has only magnitude and no direction is called a 'Scalar'. A
Eg. speed, volume, mass, density, temperature etc.
Vectors are represented by directed line segments. Let AB be the line segment. Vector from A to B is denoted by AB and
vector from B to A is denoted by BA. AB can also be represented by a. The length of AB is magnitude of the vector denoted
as AB or a or simply a. For AB, A is the initial point and B the terminal point.
Scalar multiplication of a vector

Let λ be a scalar and a a vector then λ a represents a vector whose magnitude is λ times the magnitude of a and the direction
is same as that of a if λ is positive but opposite to that of a if λ is negative. If λ = 0 it represents a null vector denoted by
'0' ie a null vector is a vector of magnitude zero but its direction is arbitrary.
A vector whose magnitude is 1 is called a unit vector and a unit vector in the direction of a is written as
a a
or or a (read as a cap)
a a
Like and unlike vectors

Vectors having same direction are called 'like vectors' and those having the opposite direction are called 'unlike vectors'.
Co-initial vectors : Vectors having the same initial point are called co-initial vectors.
Coplanar vectors : Vectors in the same plane are called 'coplanar vectors'.
Parallel vectors : Vectors having same direction but different initial

C
points are called 'parallel vectors'.

∴ OP = OQ + QP = xi + yj O i Q
OP = x 2 + y 2
Note :- A plane vector is an ordered pair of real numbers and the distance between O & P is the magnitude of OP.
(ii) Let P be a point in three dimensional space where OX, OY & OZ are co-ordinate axes. Let (x, y, z) be the co-ordinates of
P. Draw PQ ⊥ r to the plane XOY & QA & QB parallel to OY & OX respectives to meet OX at A & OY at B.

unit vecto r in the direction of OP is given by
x2 + y2 + z2
Let P ( x1 , y1 , z1 ) & P( x2 , y 2 , z 2 ) be any two points in 3-space Z

to find PQ, from the triangle OPQ

a
when θ = 0°, a ⋅ b = ab cos 0° = ab
when θ = 90°, a ⋅ b = ab cos 90° = 0
hence two vectors are said to be 'orthogonal' if a ⋅b = 0.
Let ON represent a line which is ⊥ r to both OA & OB. ie ON is ⊥ r to the plane OAB. Let n represent a unit vector in
the direction of ON.
Then ab sin θ n is a × b and − ab sin θ n is b × a if θ = 0°, then sinθ = 0
∴ a × b or − b × a is a null vector, hence two vectors are said to be parallel or coincident if a × b = 0 (null vector)

using vectors, OP = x1i + y1 j + z1k & OQ = x 2 i + y 2 j + z 2 k
∴ PQ = OQ − OP = ( x2 − x1 )i + ( y 2 − y1 ) j + ( z 2 − z1 ) k
∴ PQ = ( x 2 − x1 ) 2 + ( y 2 − y1 ) 2 + ( z 2 − z1 ) 2
∴ Distance between tw o points ( x1 , y1 , z1 ) & Q( x2 , y 2 , z 2 ) is given by ( x 2 − x1 ) 2 + ( y 2 − y1 ) 2 + ( z 2 − z1 ) 2

lines will be perpendicular if a1a 2 + b1b2 + c1c2 = 0.
Note :- Two lines will be parallel if direction cosines of the two lines are same or if the direction ratios are proportional.
The Plane
To find the equation of the plane passing through the point
Normal to
(x1, y1, z1) and having a, b, c as the direction ratios of the normal
the Plane
to the plane.
Let A( x1 , y1 , z1 ) be a point in the plane. P (x, y, z)
Let P( x, y, z ) be any point in the plane then direction ratios of AP ne
Pla A (x1, y1, z1)
are given by x − x1 , y − y1 , z − z1 as this is perpendicular to the normal
to the plane, we have
a ( x − x1 ) + b( y − y1 ) + c( z − z1 ) = 0
ie ax + by + cz − (ax1 + by1 + cz1 ) = 0
which is a first degree equation in x, y & z.

Note :- (1) z = 0 represents the equation to the XOY plane.

(2) y = 0 represents the equation of the ZOX plane.
(3) x = 0 represents the equation of YOZ plane.
To prove that ax + by + cy + d = 0 a first degree equation in x, y, z represents a plane.

Let P( x1 , y1 , z1 ) & Q ( x2 , y 2 , z 2 ) be any two points satisfying ax + by + cz + d = 0.
Then ax1 + by1 + cz1 + d = 0 (1)
ax2 + by 2 + cz 2 + d = 0 (2)
multiply (2) by k & add to (1)

k ( ax2 + by 2 + cz 2 + d ) + ( ax1 + by1 + cz1 + d ) = 0
ie a ( kx2 + x1 ) + b( ky 2 + y1 ) + c( kz 2 + z1 ) + d ( k + 1) = 0
divide through out by k + 1 ( k ≠ −1)

( kx2 + x1 ) ( ky 2 + y1 ) ( kz + z )
a +b +c 2 1 +d = 0
k +1 k +1 k +1

This shows that the point whose coordinates are  2 1 , , 
 k +1 k +1 k +1 
satisfy the equation ax + by + cz + d = 0.
Thus every point on the line joining P & Q lie on the locus. ∴ The equation represents the plane.
To find the length of the perpendicular from (x1, y1, z1) upon the plane ax + by + cy + d = 0.
Let P ( x1 , y1 , z1 ) be the given point & PA is the length of the

Note :- Two points ( x1 , y1 , z1 ) & ( x2 , y 2 , z 2 ) lie on the same side or on opposite sides of the plane ax + by + cz + d = 0
according as ax1 + by1 + cz1 + d & ax2 + by 2 + cz 2 + d are of same sign or of opposite signs.

To find the angle between two planes

a1 x + b1 y + c1 z + d1 = 0 & a 2 x + b2 y + c2 z + d 2 = 0
The two planes intersect along a line, the angle between two planes is nothing but angle between two normals of the
plane. ∴ if θ is the angle between two planes
a1a 2 + b1b2 + c1c2

Sphere
Definition :- A Sphere is the locus of a point which remains at a constant distance from a fixed point in three dimension.
The fixed point is the centre and constant distance is called radius.
Equation of the sphere whose centre is at (x1, y1, z1) and radius r is given by
( x − x1 ) 2 + ( y − y1 ) 2 + ( z − z1 ) 2 = r 2
1. To show that x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + 2ux + 2vy + 2 wz + d = 0 represents a sphere.

The expression can be written as
( x 2 + 2ux) + ( y 2 + 2vy) + ( z 2 + 2wz ) + d = 0
ie ( x + u) 2 − u 2 + ( y + v) 2 − v 2 + ( z + w) 2 − w 2 + d = 0
ie ( x + u ) 2 + ( y + v) 2 + ( z + w) 2 = u 2 + v 2 + w2 − d
which represents a sphere whose centre is (–u, –v, –w) and radius is u 2 + v 2 + w2 − d
2. Plane section of a sphere

Plane section of a sphere is always a circle. If the plane passes
through the centre of the sphere it is called a great circle, otherwise a
small circle.
Let C be the centre of the sphere and A be a point on the sphere
and on the plane which intersects the sphere. Let B be the centre of the
small circle then BC is ⊥ r to AB.
C
∴ AC 2 = AB 2 + BC 2
R
BC = p & AC = R ( radius of the sphere)
Then AB 2 = AC 2 − BC 2 = R 2 − p 2
B r A
∴ radius of the small circle is AB = R 2 − p 2
Let S : x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + 2ux + 2vy + 2 wz + d = 0 be the equation of

the sphere
and P : ax + by + cz + d = 0 be the plane.
Then the equation of the sphere passing through the circle is S + λP = 0 where λ is a constant.
If S1 = 0 ie x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + 2u1 x + 2v1 y + 2w1 z + d1 = 0 & S 2 = 0 ie x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + 2u 2 x + 2v2 y + 2w2 z + d 2 = 0
represents two spheres then the equation of the circle common to S1 = 0 & S 2 = 0 is S1 − S 2 = 0
∴ The equation of the sphere through t he circle is given by S1 + λ ( S1 − S 2 ) = 0.
3. To find the equation of the sphere having the P (x , y , z )

( x1 , y1 , z1 ) & ( x2 , y 2 , z 2 ) as the extremities
of a diameter. 90º
Let A & B be the extremities of the diameter.

Let P(x, y, z) be a point on the sphere.
AP is ⊥ r to PB. B (x 2, y 2, z 2)
(x 1 , y 1 , z 1 ) A
Direction ratios of AP are
x − x1 , y − y1 , z − z1
Direction ratios of BP are x − x2 , y − y 2 , z − z 2
Since AP is ⊥ r to PB,
( x − x1 )( x − x2 ) + ( y − y1 )( y − y 2 ) + ( z − z1 )( z − z 2 ) = 0.
4. To find the equation of the tangent plane at ( x1 , y1 , z1 ) on the sphere x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + 2ux + 2vy + 2wz + d = 0
Let Q( x, y, z ) be any point in the tangent plane then direction ratios of PQ are x − x1 , y − y1 , z − z1 and direction
ratios of PC are x1 + u , y1 + v, z1 + w where C is the centre of the sphere.
As PQ is ⊥ r to PC, we have
( x − x1 )( x1 + u ) + ( y − y1 )( y1 + v) + ( z − z1 )( z1 + w) = 0
ie xx1 − x12 + ux − ux1 + yy1 − y12 + vy − vy1 P ( x 1, y 1, z 1)

+ zz1 − z12 + wz − wz1 = 0
ie xx1 + yy1 + zz1 + ux − ux1 + vy − vy1 + wz − zw1
− x12 − y12 − z12 = 0
Since ( x1 , y1 , z1 ) is a point on the sphere
C (– u , – v , – w )
x12 + y12 + z12 + 2ux1 + 2vy1 + 2wz1 + d = 0
∴ − x12 − y12 − z12 = 2ux1 + 2vy1 + 2wz1 + d

substituting this in (1) and simplifying, we have
xx1 + yy1 + zz1 + u ( x + x1 ) + v( y + y1 ) + w( z + z1 ) + d = 0
is the equation to the tangent plane.
5. To find the condition for two spheres to cut orthogonally (ie. the tangents plane at a point of intersection are at right
angles).
Let C1 & C 2 be the centres of two spheres whose radii
are r1 & r2 . P is point of intersection. P
Let the spheres be r1 r2
S1 : x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + 2u1x + 2v1 y + 2w1z + d1 = 0

S1 : x 2 + y 2 + z 2 + 2u 2 x + 2v 2 y + 2w2 z + d 2 = 0 ( −u 1 , −y 1 , −w 1 ) ( −u 2 , −y 2 , −w 2 )
Now C1 Pˆ C 2 = 90° ∴ C1C12 = r12 + r22

Continuity of a function
A function f ( x) is said to be continuous at x = a if lim f ( x) = f (a)
x →a
∴ A function f ( x) is said to be continuous if lim f ( x) exists, f (a) exists and they are equal.
x→0
If these donot happen then the function is said to be not continuous or discontinuous.
A function f (x) is said to be continuous in an interval if it is continuous at all points in the interval.
Examples

(1) f ( x) = is not continuous at x = 1 Q lim = 2 exists but f (0) = donot exists.

4 x + 3 for x ≥ 4
(2) Discuss the continuity of function f ( x) =  at x = 4.
3x + 7 for < 4
Solution : While finding the limit of a function f (x) as x approaches a, if we consider the limit of the function as x approaches
a from left hand side, the limit is called 'Left Hand Limit' (LHL) and if x approaches a from right hand side the
limit is called 'Right Hand Limit' (RHL) and the limit of the function is said to exists if both LHL & RHL exists
and are equal, for convenience LHL & RHL are denoted as lim− f ( x) and lim+ f ( x) and further
x →a x →a
LHL = lim− f ( x) = lim f (a − h) & RHL = lim+ f ( x) = lim f (a + h)

x →a h →0 x →a h →0
For the given problem

LHL at x = 4 is lim− f ( x) = lim f (4 − h) = lim 3(4 − h) + 7 = 19
x →4 h →0 h →0
RHL at x = 4 is lim+ f ( x) = lim f (4 + h) = lim 4(4 + h) + 3 = 19

x →4 h →0 h →0
and f ( 4) = 19
∴ The function is continuous at x = 4

∴ The function is discontinuous at x = 0.

(4) Examine the continuity of the function f ( x) = 4 x 2 − 2 x for 1 < x < 2
4 x + 4 for x ≥ 2

at x = 1 and x = 2.
at x = 1, LHL = lim− f ( x) = lim f (1 − h) = lim 5(1 − h) − 4 = 1

x →1 h →0 h →0
RHL = lim f (1 + h) = lim 4(1 + h) 2 − 2(1 + h) = 4 − 2 = 2

h →0 h →0
LHL ≠ RHL at x = 1
∴ The function is discontinuous at x = 1.
at x = 2, LHL = lim f ( 2 − h) = lim 4( 2 − h) 2 − 2( 2 − h) = 16 − 4 = 12

h →0 h →0
RHL = lim f (2 + h) = lim 4(2 + h) + 4 = 12

h →0 h →0
and f (2) = 4 × 2 + 4 = 12
∴ lim f ( x) = f (2)
x →2
∴ The function is continuous at x = 2.

INTEGRAL CALCULUS
dy
Given = f ( x), the process of finding y is called 'Integration' and the resulting function is called 'Integral'. If g (x) is
dx
the integral then ∫ f ( x)dx = g ( x) is the notation used to represent the process.
In the above notation f (x) is called 'Integrand' and further
d
[g ( x)] = f ( x).
dx
But
d
[g ( x) + c] = g ′( x) when c is a constant ∴ ∫ f ( x)dx = g ( x) + c
dx
Thus integral of a function is not unique and two integrals always differ by a constant.
Properties
(1) ∫ [ f ( x) ± φ ( x)]dx = ∫ f ( x)dx ± ∫ ϕ ( x)dx

( 2) ∫ Kf ( x)dx = K ∫ f ( x)dx where K is a constant
(3) ∫ 0dx = c (a constant)

Methods of Integration
There are two methods (1) Integration by substitution & (2) Integration by parts.
1. Integration by substitution
∫ f ( x) dx
dx
Consider put x = φ (t ) then = φ ′(t ) ie dx = φ ′(t ) dt
dt
∴ ∫ f ( x) dx = ∫ f [φ (t )]φ ′(t ) dt
now for the new integrand, we can use the standard forms, ie. we have to make a proper substitution so that the given
integrand reduced to a standard one.
Examples
sin x
1. ∫ tan x dx = ∫ cos x dx
dt
put cos x = t , then − sin x = ie sin x dx = −dt
dx
∫ tan x dx = ∫ − t
dt
∴ = − log t = − log cos x = log sec x + c
tan x sec x
or ∫ tan x dx = ∫ sec x
dx
put sec x = t , differentiating w.r.t. x
dt
sec x tan x = ∴ sec x tan x dx = dt
dx
98 KSOU Integral Calculus
∫ tan x dx = ∫ t
dt
∴ = log t = log sec x + c
cos x
2. ∫ cot x dx = ∫ sin x dx
dt
put sin x = t , differentiating w.r.t. x cos x = ie cos x dx = dt
dx
∫ cot x dx = ∫ t
dt
∴ = log t = log sin x + c
3. ∫ tanhx dx = log cosh x + c

4. ∫ coth x dx = log sinh x + c
5. ∫ sec x dx = log(sec x + tanx) + c
6. ∫ cosec x dx = log(cosec x − cot x) + c
f ′( x) [ f ( x)]n+1 + c(n ≠ −1)
∫ [ f ( x) ]
n
In general ∫ f ( x)
dx = log f ( x ) + c also f ′( x) dx =
n +1
2. Integration by parts
d dv du
If u & v are functions of x, we know that, (uv) = u +v
dx dx dx
∴ By definition of Integration
 dv du 
∫ ∫ ∫
dv du
uv =  u + v  dx = u dx + v dx using property (1)
 dx dx  dx dx
∫ u dx dx = uv − ∫ v dx dx
dv du
∴
The result can be used as the standard result. Out of the two functions of the product, one has to be taken as u & another
dv
then the RHS after evaluation gives the integral or if both functions have taken as u & v then the result is as follows
dx
 du 
∫ ∫ ∫
uv dx = u v dx −  ⋅ v dx  dx
 dx  ∫
any one form can be used depending on convenience. The first one can also be written as ∫ uv′ dx = uv − ∫ u′v dx
Examples
1. ∫ xe dx put u = v, v′ = e x , u ′ = 1, v = e x
x
∴ ∫ xe ∫ ∫
dx = uv − u ′v dx = xe x − 1 ⋅ e x dx = xe x − e x + c
x
2. ∫ x sin x dx = x ∫ sin x du − ∫1 ⋅ ∫ sin x dx = − x cos x − ∫ − cos x dx = − x cos x + ∫ cos x dx = − x cos x + sin x + c

∫ log x dx
1
3. put u = log x, v′ = 1, u ′ = , v=x
x
∴ ∫ uv′ dx = uv − ∫ u′v dx
∫ log x dx = x log x − ∫ x ⋅ x dx = x log x − ∫1 ⋅ dx = x log x − x + c

4. x dx put u = sin −1 x, v′ = 1, u ′ = , v=x

a cos x + b sin x
∫ c sin x + e cos x dx
Solution : to evaluate put a cos x + b sin x = l (Denominator) + m(derivative of denominator)
ie a cos x + b sin x = l (c sin x + e cos x) + m(c cos x − e sin x)
where l & m are constants to be foundout by equating the co - efficients of sin x & cos x separately.
ie from the equations lc − me = b & le + mc = a
a cos x + b sin x c sin x + e cos x c cos x − e sin x
then ∫ c sin x + e cos x dx = l ∫ c sin x + e cos x dx + m∫ c sin x + e cos x dx = lx + m log(c sin x + e cos x) + c

DIFFERENTIAL EQUATIONS
An equation which consists of one dependent variable and its derivatives with respect to one or more independent variables is
called a 'Differential Equation'. A differential equation of one dependent and one independent variable is called 'Ordinary
Differential Equation'. A differential equation having one dependent and more than one independent variable is called
'Partial Differential Equation'.

Order and Degree of a differential equation

Order
The order of the highest derivative occurring in a differential equation is called 'Order' of the differential equation.
Degree
The highest degree of the highest order derivative occurring in a differential equation (after removing the radicals if any) is
called 'Degree' of the differential equation.
In the examples given above (1), (2), (3), (5), (6) & (8) are of order one and degree one, (4), (9) & (10) are of order two
and degree one where as (7) is of order two and degree two after removing the radicals.
Formation of Differential Equation

Differential equations are formed by eliminating the arbitrary constants. Arbitrary constants are eliminated by differentiation.
Examples
(1) Form the differential equation by eliminating the constant a from x 2 + y 2 = a 2
Solution : x 2 + y 2 = a 2
differentiating w.r.t. x, we have
dy
2x + 2 y = 0 ⇒ x dx + y dy = 0 which is the differential equation.
dx
(2) Form the differential equation by eliminating ' m ' & 'c ' from y = mx + c
Solution : y = mx + c
dy
differentiating w.r.t. x, we have =m
dx
again differentiating w.r.t. x, we have
d2y
= 0 is the required differential equation.
dx 2
(3) Obtain the differential equation by eliminating ' a ' & 'b ' from y = a cos 3 x + b sin 3 x
Solution : y = a cos 3 x + b sin 3 x
differentiating w.r.t. x, we have
dy
= −3a sin 3x + 3b cos 3x
dx
again differentiating w.r.t. x, we have
d2y
= −9a cos 3 x − 9b sin 3 x = −9 y
dx 2
d2y
ie + 9y = 0 which is the required differential equation.
dx 2
Note :- It can be seen from the above examples that the order of the differential equation depends on the number of
arbitrary constants in the equation. ie. if arbitrary constant is one then order is one and if the arbitrary constants are
two then the order is two.

ie log(Y + X ) + log(Y − X ) + 2 log(Y − X ) − 2 log(Y + X ) = 2 log c
3 log(Y − X ) − log(Y + X ) = 2 log c
(Y − X ) 3
ie log = log c 2
Y+X
∴ (Y − X )3 = c 2 (Y + X ) but X = x − 1, Y = y − 1
∴ ( y − x)3 = c 2 ( y + x − 2) is the solution.
