Class 9 Math Notes – Chapter 2 Summary
This summary covers key concepts and solution methods from Chapter 2 of your 9th class mathematics notes:
Scientific Notation
- Scientific Notation: Expressing numbers in the form a×10n, where 1≤a<10 and n is an integer.
- Examples:
- 2000000=2×106
- 0.0000009=9×10−7
- Ordinary Notation: Converting back from scientific notation.
- 8.04×102=804
- Examples:
2. Logarithmic and Exponential Forms
- Logarithmic Form: logb(x)=ylogb(x)=y means by=x.
- Examples:
- 103=1000 → log101000=3
- 28=256→ log2256=8
- Examples:
- Exponential Form: Converting logarithmic equations back to exponential form.
- Examples:
- log5125=3 → 53=125
- log216=4log216=4 → 24=1624=16
- Examples:
Solving Logarithmic Equations
- Finding x:
- logx64=3 → x3=64→ x=4
- log10x=−3 → x=10−3=0.001
Characteristics and Mantissa
- Characteristic: The integer part of a logarithm.
- Examples:
- log43=1.6335 → Characteristic = 1, Mantissa = 0.6335
- log0.0876=−2+0.9425 → Characteristic = -2, Mantissa = 0.9425
- Examples:
Laws of Logarithms
- Product Rule: logb(xy)=logb(x)+logb(y)
- Quotient Rule: logb(xy)=logb(x)−logb(y)
- Power Rule: logb(xn)=nlogb(x)
- Examples:
- log218−log29=log2(18/9)=log22=1
- 2log2+log25=log22+log25=log(4×25)=log100=2
Applications of Logarithms
- Solving Exponential Equations:
- (81)x=(243)x+2 → 34x=35x+10 → x=−10
- Population Growth:
- P(t)=22(1.025)t → Solve for t when P(t)=35 →t≈19 years (2035)
Logarithm Tables
- Using Logarithm Tables:
- log(3.68×4.21/5.234)=log3.68+log4.21−log5.234=0.4713 → Antilog = 2.960
Review Exercise
- Multiple Choice Questions:
- log223=3
- log100=2
- log(0) is undefined
- Expressing in Logarithmic/Exponential Forms:
- 37=2187 → log32187=7
- log48=x → 4x=8
