Introduction to Class 9 Mathematics#
Class 9 Mathematics builds the foundation for SEE-level mathematics. The CDC curriculum covers Algebra, Geometry, Arithmetic, and Statistics. Strong basics here make Class 10 much easier.
Algebra#
Unit 1: Sets#
A well-defined collection of distinct objects.
| Notation | Meaning | Example |
|---|---|---|
| A = {1, 2, 3} | Roster form | - |
| B = {x : x is even, x < 10} | Set-builder | B = {2, 4, 6, 8} |
| A ⊂ B | A is subset of B | {1,2} ⊂ {1,2,3} |
| A ∪ B | Union | {1,2} ∪ {2,3} = {1,2,3} |
| A ∩ B | Intersection | {1,2} ∩ {2,3} = {2} |
| A' | Complement | U = {1..5}, A={1,2} → A'={3,4,5} |
| n(A) | Cardinal number | n({a,b,c}) = 3 |
Important Formulas
- n(A ∪ B) = n(A) + n(B) - n(A ∩ B)
- n(A ∪ B ∪ C) = n(A) + n(B) + n(C) - n(A∩B) - n(B∩C) - n(C∩A) + n(A∩B∩C)
- De Morgan's Laws: (A ∪ B)' = A' ∩ B', (A ∩ B)' = A' ∪ B'
Unit 2: Polynomials#
Algebraic Expressions
| Type | Form | Degree |
|---|---|---|
| Monomial | 3x², 5 | 2, 0 |
| Binomial | x² + 2x, 3x - 5 | max of terms |
| Trinomial | x² + 2x + 1 | max of terms |
| Polynomial | aₙxⁿ + ... + a₁x + a₀ | n |
Operations
Addition: (2x² + 3x + 1) + (x² - 2x + 4) = 3x² + x + 5 Subtraction: (3x² + 2x - 1) - (x² - x + 2) = 2x² + 3x - 3 Multiplication: (x + 2)(x - 3) = x² - x - 6 Division: (x² + 5x + 6) ÷ (x + 2) = x + 3 (remainder 0)
Factorization
| Method | Form | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Common factor | ax + ay = a(x + y) | 3x² + 6x = 3x(x + 2) |
| Grouping | ax + ay + bx + by = (a+b)(x+y) | x² + 5x + 6 = (x+2)(x+3) |
| Difference of squares | a² - b² = (a+b)(a-b) | x² - 9 = (x+3)(x-3) |
| Perfect square | a² ± 2ab + b² = (a ± b)² | x² + 6x + 9 = (x+3)² |
| Quadratic trinomial | x² + (p+q)x + pq = (x+p)(x+q) | x² + 7x + 12 = (x+3)(x+4) |
Remainder and Factor Theorems
- Remainder Theorem: If f(x) is divided by (x - a), remainder = f(a)
- Factor Theorem: (x - a) is factor of f(x) iff f(a) = 0
f(x) = x³ - 6x² + 11x - 6 f(1) = 1 - 6 + 11 - 6 = 0 → (x-1) is factor Divide: (x-1)(x² - 5x + 6) = (x-1)(x-2)(x-3)
Unit 3: Sequences and Series#
Arithmetic Progression (AP)
| Formula | Expression |
|---|---|
| nth term | aₙ = a + (n-1)d |
| Sum of n terms | Sₙ = n/2 [2a + (n-1)d] = n/2 (a + l) |
| Arithmetic Mean | A = (a + b)/2 |
Find 10th term of AP: 3, 7, 11, ... a = 3, d = 4 a₁₀ = 3 + 9×4 = 39
Sum of first 20 terms of 2, 5, 8, ... S₂₀ = 20/2 [2×2 + 19×3] = 10 × 61 = 610
Geometric Progression (GP)
| Formula | Expression |
|---|---|
| nth term | aₙ = arⁿ⁻¹ |
| Sum of n terms | Sₙ = a(rⁿ - 1)/(r - 1) for r ≠ 1 |
| Sum to infinity | S∞ = a/(1-r) for |
| Geometric Mean | G = √(ab) |
3, 6, 12, 24, ... Find 8th term. a = 3, r = 2 a₈ = 3 × 2⁷ = 384
Sum of infinite GP: 1 + 1/2 + 1/4 + 1/8 + ... a = 1, r = 1/2 S∞ = 1/(1 - 1/2) = 2

For ax² + bx + c = 0 (a ≠ 0): x = [-b ± √(b² - 4ac)] / 2a Discriminant: D = b² - 4ac
- D > 0: Real distinct roots
- D = 0: Real equal roots
- D < 0: Imaginary roots
Solve: 2x² - 5x + 2 = 0 D = 25 - 16 = 9 x = (5 ± 3)/4 → x = 2, x = 1/2
If roots of x² - 5x + k = 0 are equal, find k. D = 25 - 4k = 0 → k = 25/4
Unit 5: Inequalities#
| Property | Rule |
|---|---|
| Addition | a > b → a + c > b + c |
| Multiplication by positive | a > b, c > 0 → ac > bc |
| Multiplication by negative | a > b, c < 0 → ac < bc |
| Reciprocal | a > b > 0 → 1/a < 1/b |
| Squaring | a > b > 0 → a² > b² |
Solve: 3x - 7 > 2x + 5 x > 12
Solve: (x-2)/(x+3) > 0 Critical points: x = 2, x = -3 Intervals: (-∞, -3): +/(-) = - ✗ (-3, 2): +/(+) = + ✓ (2, ∞): +/(+) = + ✓ Solution: (-3, 2) ∪ (2, ∞)

Article marked 40% above CP, sold at 15% discount. Profit %? CP = 100, MP = 140 SP = 140 × 0.85 = 119 Profit = 19%
Two successive discounts of 20% and 10% = single discount? Effective = 1 - 0.8×0.9 = 0.28 = 28%
Unit 12: Simple and Compound Interest#
