Concept of Maximum and Minimum Values of a Function

In this article, we shall study the concept of maximum and minimum values of a function using the concept of differentiation. Example – 01: Find the maximum and minimum values of x3 – 12x – 5 Solution: Let ƒ(x) = x3 – 12x – 5 ………….. (1) Differentiating equation (1) w.r.t. x ƒ’(x) = 3×2 […]

Types of Functions

In the last article, we have studied the concept of the function and the terminology associated with it. In this article, we shall study different types of functions. Real Function: A function whose domain and co-domain are the set or subset of real numbers R, then the function is called a real function.Thus if ƒ: […]

Environmental Chemistry

In this article, we shall study the meaning of environmental chemistry and also about pollution and pollutants. Environment means all that environs i.e. surrounds us. Different organisms live in different types of surroundings such as air, water, and soil. Different kinds of living organisms share these surroundings with others. An environment can be defined as […]

Ionic Bond or Electrovalent Bond

The electrostatic force of attraction between the oppositely charged ions is called the ionic bond or electrovalent bond. This bond is formed between two atoms whose electronegativity difference is large and they can attain octets by the complete transfer of one or more electrons from one atom to another. The atom which loses electrons is […]

Chemical Reactions and Their Types

In a chemical reaction, one or more substances, called reactants undergo a chemical change to produce new substances called products of the reaction. Thus a chemical reaction is a process in which reactants undergo a change to produce products. Reactants: One or more substances which react and undergo chemical change are called reactants of the […]
