Chapter 1: Number Systems

The numeral or number system is the combination of natural, integers, rational, irrational, and real numbers. This lesson covers the entire concepts of the numeral system and its types, representation on the number line, laws of rational exponents, and integral powers. To simplify the concept of number systems, the technique of portraying numbers on a number line using certain rules and symbols is known as a number system. A **number line is a straight-line representation of integers with a set spacing between them. The Number System is used to do mathematical computations ranging from intricate scientific calculations to calculate how many chocolates are left in the box.

The major topics covered in the Number systems chapter in Class 9 are the Representation of natural numbers, integers, rational numbers on the number line, Rational numbers as recurring/ terminating decimals, and Operations on real numbers. Some topics which have great importance in further chapters of Class 9 are the Rationalization of real numbers and Laws of exponents for real numbers

**Important rules that are used in CBSE Class 9 Maths Revision Notes Chapter 1 Number Systems are:

• √ab = √a × √b
• √(a/b)= √a/√b
• (√a + √b) × (√a - √b) = a−b
• (a + √b) × (a − √b) = a2 −b
• (√a+√b)2 =a2 + 2√ab +b
• ap × bq = (ab)p+q
• (ap)q = apq
• ap / aq = (a)p-q
• ap / bp = (ab)p

Chapter 2: Polynomials

A **polynomial expression is made up of variables, which are also known as indeterminates and coefficients in mathematics. The coefficients involve operations such as subtraction, addition, non-negative integer variable exponents, and multiplication. Both **algebraic expressions and polynomials in mathematics are made up of variables and constants, as well as arithmetic operations. The sole difference is that algebraic expressions include irrational numbers in their powers.

Topics covered in Class 9 Polynomial Chapters are the basics of polynomials in one variable (including the Coefficients of a polynomial, terms of a polynomial and zero polynomial), Degree of a polynomial and Types of Polynomials-Monomials, binomials, trinomials. Some important topics covered in this chapter are Factors and multiples, Zeros of a polynomial, and Factorization using the Factor Theorem.

**Here is the list of the important theorems learned in CBSE Class 9th Maths Revision Notes Chapter 2 Polynomials:

• **Remainder Theorem: If p(x) has the degree greater than or equal to 1 and p(x) when divided by the linear polynomial x – a will give the remainder as p(a).
• **Factor Theorem: x – a will be the factor of the polynomial p(x), whenever p(a) = 0. The vice-versa also holds true every time.

**CBSE Class 9th Maths Revision Notes Cover the following topics:

• Multiplying Polynomials

Chapter 3: Coordinate Geometry

**Coordinate geometry is a part of geometry where the position of the points on the plane is described with the help of an ordered pair of numbers called **coordinates.

Coordinate geometry is important because it connects geometry with **algebra using line graphs and curves. Because it allows us to find points on any plane, coordinate geometry is helpful in mathematics. It is also used in trigonometry, calculus, and other fields. Learn about the Cartesian coordinate system, coordinate points, how to plot points on coordinate axes, quadrants with signs, and other concepts in coordinate geometry.

**Important Conclusions from CBSE Class 9th Maths Revision Notes Chapter 3 Coordinate Geometry are:

1. The horizontal line is known as the **x-axis and the vertical line is called the **y-axis.
2. The coordinates of a point are in the form of (+, +) in the first quadrant, (–, +) in the second quadrant, (–, –) in the third quadrant, and (+, –) in the fourth quadrant; where + and – denotes the positive and the negative real number respectively.
3. The coordinates of the origin are (0, 0) and thereby it gets up to move in the positive and negative numbers.

Chapter 4: Linear Equations in Two Variables

Any equation which can be defined in the form ax + by + c = 0, where a, b, and c are real numbers and a and b are not both zero, is called a **linear equation in two variables. This chapter on Linear Equations in Two Variables is an essential subject in Mathematics since it allows us to define physical relationships between two variables, compute rates, perform conversions, and make predictions, among other things.

Students should pay special attention while solving and practicing the questions in this chapter because the majority of the questions in their examinations will require some experience in this area.

**Important formulas and identities in CBSE Class 9 Maths Revision Notes Chapter 4- Linear Equations in Two Variables are:

• (a + b)2 = a2 + 2ab + b2
• (a – b)2 = a2 – 2ab + b2

Chapter 5: Introduction to Euclid's Geometry

**Euclidean geometry is the branch of geometry that deals with the study of geometrical shapes and figures based on different axioms and theorems. This study provides a brief explanation for flat surfaces. This chapter is the introduction to Euclid for Class 9 students.

This chapter is all about Euclid’s method of formalizing observed phenomena into rigorous Mathematics with definitions, axioms, and postulates. Also includes the five postulates of Euclid, Equivalent versions of the fifth postulate, and a Representation of the relationship between axiom and theorem.

**Important rules from CBSE Class 9 Maths Revision Notes Chapter 5 Introduction to Euclid's Geometry:

• **Axioms: The basic facts which are taken for granted without proof are called axioms. Some of Euclid's axioms are:
  1. Things which are equal to the same thing are equal to one another.
  2. If equals are added to equals, the wholes are equal.
  3. If equals are subtracted from equals, the remainders are equal.
  4. Things which coincide with one another are equal to one another.
  5. The whole is greater than the part.
• **Postulates: Axioms are the general statements, postulates are the axioms relating to a particular field. Euclid's five postulates are.
  1. A straight line may be drawn from anyone point to any other point.
  2. A terminated line can be produced indefinitely.
  3. A circle can be drawn with any center and any radius.
  4. All right angles are equal to one another.
  5. If a straight line falling on two straight lines makes the interior angles on the same side of it taken together less than two right angles, then the two straight lines, if produced indefinitely meet on that side on which the angles are less than two right angles.

Chapter 6: Lines and Angles

In geometry, **Lines and Angles are defined as figures that are made up of infinite points extending indefinitely in both directions. Lines are straight and have length and breadth, while an angle is a figure from which two rays emerge from a common point.

To define it in simpler words, a line is defined as a row of closely spaced dots that spans in two directions indefinitely. It just has one dimension, which is its length. A line can be represented by a horizontal mark written on a sheet of paper. An angle is a figure formed by two rays that intersect at a shared terminus. A protractor is used to measure them in degrees. Lines and angles are present in all geometry forms.

This chapter majorly includes the basics of Lines and Angles and **Types of angles. Also include important properties and theorems like the Angle sum property, etc.

**Important definitions from CBSE Class 9 Maths Revision Notes Chapter 6 Lines and Angles are:

• **Acute angle: An acute angle measures between 0° and 90°.
• **Right angle: A right angle is exactly equal to 90°.
• **Obtuse angle: An angle greater than 90° but less than 180°.
• **Straight angle: A straight angle is equal to 180°.
• **Reflex angle: An angle that is greater than 180° but less than 360° is called a reflex angle.
• **Complementary angles: Two angles whose sum is 90° are called complementary angles. Let one angle be x, then its complementary angle is (90°−x).
• **Supplementary angles: Two angles whose sum is 180° are called supplementary angles. Let one angle be x, then its supplementary angle is (180°−x).
• **Adjacent angles****:** Two angles are Adjacent when they have a common side and a common vertex (corner point) and don't overlap.
• **Linear pair: A linear pair of angles is formed when two lines intersect. Two angles are said to be linear if they are adjacent angles formed by two intersecting lines. The measure of a straight angle is 180°, so a linear pair of angles must add up to 180°.
• **Vertically opposite angles: Vertically opposite angles are formed when two lines intersect each other at a point. Vertically opposite angles are always equal.

Chapter 7: Triangles

Geometrically, a triangle is defined as a three-sided polygon consisting of three edges and three vertices. The most important and applied property of a triangle is its Angle sum property which means the sum of the internal angles of a triangle is equal to 180 degrees only.

• The diagonals of a rhombus are perpendicular to each other.

Chapter 9: Areas of Parallelograms and Triangles

The area of a plane figure is described as the amount of the planar surface covered by a closed geometric figure like a rectangle, square, etc. In this chapter, we'll try to strengthen our understanding of the equations for calculating the areas of various figures by looking at relationships between the areas of geometric shapes that have the same base and parallels. This study will also help in the understanding of several findings about 'triangle similarity.'

The important topics covered in this chapter are the area of two or more triangles and parallelograms with the same base between the same parallels and finding the area of triangles that are split by a median as well as the area of congruent figures.

Chapter 10: Circles

Be it a bottle cap or the merry-go-round - the circle is a part of our day-to-day life and is included in everything we saw. But how exactly circle came to be? To explain it in mathematical words, a **circle is a geometrical shape that is defined as the locus of points that moves in a plane so that its distance from a fixed point is always constant. This fixed point is the Centre of the circle while the fixed distance from it is called the **radius of the circle.

**Chord: The chord of the circle is a line segment that connects any two locations on a circle. Some important properties of Chords of a circle are:

• The diameter of a circle is defined as a chord that passes across its center.
• A circle's diameter divides it into two equal sections, which are called arcs. A semi-circle is made up of these two arcs.
• If two arcs of a circle have the same degree of measure, they are said to be congruent.
• When two arcs have the same length, their associated chords are likewise the same length.
• The chord is bisected by a perpendicular drawn from the center to the chord of the circle, and vice versa.
• Three non-collinear points are intersected by one and only one circle.
• Equal circle chords are equidistant from the center.
• The line across the centers of two circles intersecting in two points is perpendicular to the common chord.
• An arc's angle at the center of the circle is double the angle it has throughout the rest of the circumference.
• Any two angles in the same circle segment are equal.
• A circle's equal chords form an equal angle at the center.
• The greater chord of a circle is closer to the center than the smaller chord.
• The semicircle has a right angle. At the circle's center, equal chords subtend an equal angle.

**Cyclic Quadrilateral: A quadrilateral is said to be cyclic if all of its vertices are on the perimeter of a circle.

  3. **Mode **= It is equal to observation which occurs the most or have the maximum frequency in the given data.

Chapter 15: Probability

Tossing coin yields either an up or a down result, which is easily predicted. But what if you toss two coins at once? The end product might be a head and tail combo. In the latter instance, the correct answer cannot be found, therefore only the probability of a result may be predicted. **Probability is the name given to this prediction. Probability is frequently employed in all aspects of daily life, such as sports, weather forecasts, blood tests, statics, etc. In this chapter, we will study probability in-depth.

The Probability in this class includes basic probability theory, which is also used in the probability distribution, to learn the possibility of outcomes for a random experiment and to find the probability of a single event to occur, when the total number of possible outcomes
