SIMPLIFICATION AND APPROXIMATION is very important chapter for all competitive exam and everything is included in it like all simplication and approximation,simplication,fraction,decimal,surds and indices etc.
SIMPLIFICATION AND APPROXIMATION
SIMPLIFICATION:
It means reducing the expression in simpler form using various functions.
The function used to simplify follows a fixed order known as BODMAS
Where,
B = Bracket
O = of
D = Division
M = Multiplication
A = Addition
S = Subtraction
Brackets:
There are three types of brackets:-
1) Round brackets ()
2) Curly brackets {}
3) Box brackets []
1st we shall use the bracket () {} and [] .
OF means multiplication but it is used before division.
then we can use addition and substraction.
APPROXIMATION :
It is simplifying(clarify) the mathematical expression to its nearest value but not exactly correct.
when we find out the approximate value, we have to round off the digits in the expression to the nearest value and simplify the expression using BODMAS
Fraction:
it is defined as the part of a whole thing. we define function in two-portion. 1st portion is top and 2nd portion is lower. name of the top is numerator and name of the lower is denominator.
The fractions are expressed in the form of P ∕ Q
Types of fraction: -
1. Proper fraction: In a fraction numerator(top) value is less than the denominator(lower) value is called proper fraction.
Example: 4/5, 9/13 etc.
2. Improper fraction: The fractions, where the numerator(top) is bigger than the denominator(lower) are called improper fractions.
Example: 9/5 , 6/11 etc.
3. Mixed Fractions: A mixed fraction has a combination of a whole and a part.
(Quotient) whole Remainder / Divisor
Example: 3 whole 4 / 5 , 2 whole 6/7 etc.
4. Unit fraction: In a fraction, the numerator value is always ONE(1). The fraction is called a unit fraction.
Decimal
Decimal is the fraction which is represented by the decimal point followed by the number of zeroes of its tenth,hundredth etc .
Example
62.8= 628/10 , 6.28= 628/100 , 0.628= 628/1000
When dividing a number by 10, 100 or 1000, the digits of the number and the quotient are same but the decimal point in the quotient shifts to the left by as many places as there are zeros over 1.
Recurring Decimal
the remainder never becomes zero.
In this concept the remainders repeat after a certain stage forcing the decimal expansion to go on for ever
Example
10/3 = 3.3(recurring on three at right side)
Qes: compare 5/4 and 7/6.
soln: lcm of 4 and 6 = 12
5/4 × 12 = 15
7/6 × 12 = 14
15 > 14
So,
5/4 > 7/6
2nd METHOD
5/4 and 7/6
6 × 5 = 30
4 × 7 = 28
30 > 28
So,
5/4 > 7/6
Surds and Indices (pic)
A surd is an irrational number that will be expressed with roots.
As - √14 , ∛14
