| PAIR OF LINEAR EQUATIONS IN TWO VARIABLES | Pair of linear equations in two variables and graphical method of their solution,consistency/inconsistency. Algebraic conditions for number of solutions. Solution of a pair of linear equations in two variables algebraically - by substitution, by elimination. Simple situational problems. | |
| QUADRATIC EQUATIONS | A quadratic equation in standard form is ax2 + bx + c = 0 (a 0). Factorization and the quadratic formula are used to solve quadratic equations (only real roots). | |
