COMEDK UGET Mathematics - Algebra and Trigonometry flashcards — 50 questions with answers

  1. What is the formula for the number of subsets of a set with n elements?

    2^n subsets (including the empty set and the set itself); the number of proper subsets is 2^n - 1.

  2. State De Morgan's laws for sets A and B.

    (A ∪ B)' = A' ∩ B' and (A ∩ B)' = A' ∪ B'.

  3. For finite sets, what is the formula for n(A ∪ B)?

    n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) − n(A ∩ B).

  4. Define a function as a special type of relation.

    A relation f from set A to set B is a function if every element of A has exactly one image in B.

  5. What conditions make a function one-one (injective), onto (surjective), and bijective?

    One-one: distinct elements have distinct images. Onto: range equals codomain. Bijective: both one-one and onto.

  6. If f: A→B and g: B→C, what is the composite (g∘f)(x)?

    (g∘f)(x) = g(f(x)). Composition exists when the range of f is a subset of the domain of g.

  7. What is the domain and range of f(x) = 1/x?

    Domain: all real numbers except 0 (R − {0}); Range: all real numbers except 0 (R − {0}).

  8. In mathematical reasoning, what is the negation of "p and q"?

    ~(p ∧ q) = ~p ∨ ~q (not p or not q), by De Morgan's law for statements.

  9. What is the contrapositive of the statement "if p then q"?

    "If ~q then ~p." A conditional and its contrapositive are logically equivalent.

  10. State the converse and inverse of "if p then q".

    Converse: "if q then p"; Inverse: "if ~p then ~q." These two are equivalent to each other but not to the original.

  11. What does the quantifier "there exists" (∃) become when negated?

    Negation of "there exists x such that p(x)" is "for all x, ~p(x)" (∀ x, ~p(x)).

  12. State the Principle of Mathematical Induction.

    A statement P(n) is true for all natural numbers n if (1) P(1) is true (base step), and (2) P(k) true implies P(k+1) true (inductive step).

  13. Using induction, what is the sum 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + n?

    n(n+1)/2.

  14. What is the sum of squares 1² + 2² + ... + n²?

    n(n+1)(2n+1)/6.

  15. Define the imaginary unit i and state the value of i².

    i = √(−1), and i² = −1. Also i³ = −i and i⁴ = 1.

  16. What is the modulus and conjugate of the complex number z = a + bi?

    Modulus |z| = √(a² + b²); Conjugate z̄ = a − bi.

  17. State the polar (modulus-argument) form of a complex number.

    z = r(cos θ + i sin θ), where r = |z| and θ = arg(z) = tan⁻¹(b/a).

  18. State De Moivre's theorem.

    (cos θ + i sin θ)ⁿ = cos nθ + i sin nθ, for all integer n.

  19. What is the multiplicative inverse of z = a + bi?

    z⁻¹ = z̄/|z|² = (a − bi)/(a² + b²).

  20. State the quadratic formula for ax² + bx + c = 0.

    x = [−b ± √(b² − 4ac)] / (2a).
