Algebra
Variables, equations, and the language of math
Objective Function — Definition, Formula, and Examples
The objective function is the linear expression a linear programming problem sets out to maximize or minimize — usually written , where and are decision variables. This article defines it, shows the form, works six examples, and separates it clearly from the constraints.
Scalar Triple Product — Definition, Formula, Example
The scalar triple product of three vectors is , a single number equal to the signed volume of the parallelepiped built on those vectors. This article covers the definition, the determinant formula, six worked examples, why a zero result means the vectors are coplanar, and the mistakes to avoid
Square Root 1 to 25 — Values, Chart & Examples
The square root 1 to 25 chart gives through , where five values () are exact whole numbers and the other twenty are irrational, rounded here to three decimals. This article gives the full table, marks rational versus irrational, and shows how to read and rebuild it.
Geometry
Shapes, proofs, and spatial thinking
Analytical Geometry: Definition, Formulas, Examples
Analytical geometry (also called coordinate or Cartesian geometry) studies geometric figures by placing them on a coordinate system and describing them with algebraic equations. This article defines analytical geometry, gives the core formulas, the distance formula, midpoint, slope, and section, with every variable defined, and works through six examples plus the mistakes students make.
Alternate Segment Theorem: Statement, Proof, Examples
The alternate segment theorem states that the angle between a tangent to a circle and a chord drawn from the point of contact equals the inscribed angle that the chord subtends in the alternate segment. This article states the theorem precisely, proves it from the inscribed angle theorem, gives the converse, and works through six examples plus the mistakes students make.
X and Y Graph: How to Plot Points on the XY-Plane
An x and y graph is a flat grid built from a horizontal x-axis and a vertical y-axis, where every point is named by an ordered pair . This article shows how to plot points, why the x-coordinate comes first, what the four quadrants mean, and works through six plotting examples.
Trigonometry
Angles, waves, and circular harmony
Trigonometric Ratios of Specific Angles — Table & Values
The trigonometric ratios of specific angles are the exact values of sin, cos, tan, csc, sec, and cot at and — five angles whose ratios come out as clean surds, not decimals. This article gives the full values table, shows where each number comes from (the -- and -- triangles plus the unit circle), explains why entries like are undefined, and works through six examples.
Trigonometric Ratios of Complementary Angles
Two angles are complementary when they add to , and the trigonometric ratio of an angle equals the co-ratio of its complement — so , , and . This article gives all six complementary-angle identities, proves them from a right triangle, explains why the "co-" in cosine means complement, and works through six examples — including the classic problem.
Trigonometric Ratios in Radians - Values & Examples
Trigonometric ratios in radians are the same six ratios — sin, cos, tan, csc, sec, cot — measured with the angle written in radians instead of degrees, where a full circle is radians rather than . This article gives the standard-angle table (), how to convert, why radians exist, six worked examples, and the mistakes that cost marks.

Maths Formulas for Class 10 — Chapter-Wise List
The maths formulas for class 10 span the full board syllabus — real numbers, polynomials, linear and quadratic equations, arithmetic progressions, triangles, coordinate geometry, trigonometry, circles, mensuration, statistics, and probability. This hub lists every formula by chapter, explains where each one comes from, and works one example per cluster so the formulas connect instead of floating loose.
nPr Formula — Permutations, Derivation, Examples
The nPr formula counts how many ordered arrangements of objects you can make from distinct objects: . This article derives that formula from the counting principle, defines every symbol, shows where order makes a permutation different from a combination, and works six examples from a simple line-up to a locked-position arrangement.
Sum of Arithmetic Sequence Formula — Proof, Examples
The sum of arithmetic sequence formula adds the first terms of an arithmetic progression: . This article derives both forms by the pairing trick, defines every variable, works through six examples from one-step sums to finding from a known total, and clears up the mistakes that cost the most marks.
Math Terms
Crystal-clear definitions with worked examples
CP Formula — How to Find Cost Price, Examples
The CP formula recovers the cost price of an item from its selling price and a profit or loss: , , and from a percentage, or . This article derives all four forms, defines every term, and works six examples plus the percentage mistakes that flip answers.
Isosceles Triangle Formula — Area, Perimeter, Height
The isosceles triangle formula set is: area (or from the equal side and base ), perimeter , and height . This article gives each formula, derives the height and area straight from the Pythagorean theorem, works six examples from one-step to a word problem, and clears up the mistakes that cost the most marks.
What Is a Chord? Definition, Properties & Examples
A chord is a straight line segment whose two endpoints both lie on a curve — most often a circle. This article defines the term, gives the chord-length formulas, lays out the key chord properties, works six examples, and clears up the chord-versus-diameter mix-up that trips students.
