Algebraic Expressions
In algebra, we work with mathematical expressions that contain variables and
constants. These expressions can involve operations such as addition,
subtraction, multiplication, and division. One of the fundamental concepts in
algebra is simplifying algebraic expressions by combining like terms and
applying the properties of operations.
Linear Equations:
A linear equation is an equation that represents a straight line when graphed
on a coordinate plane. It consists of variables raised to the power of 1 (no
exponents greater than 1) and constant terms. Solving linear equations
involves isolating the variable by performing operations on both sides of the
equation, maintaining equality.
Quadratic Equations:
A quadratic equation is a second-degree polynomial equation. It can be
written in the form of ax^2 + bx + c = 0, where "a," "b," and "c" are constants.
Quadratic equations can have one or two real solutions, or they may not have
any real solutions at all. The quadratic formula and factoring methods are
commonly used to solve quadratic equations.
Polynomials:
A polynomial is an algebraic expression that consists of variables, constants,
and exponents. The terms of a polynomial are combined using addition or
subtraction. Polynomials can be classified by their degree, which is the
highest exponent in the expression. Common polynomial forms include
monomials (degree 1), binomials (degree 2), and trinomials (degree 3).
Factoring:
Factoring is the process of breaking down a polynomial into its simplest form
by finding its factors. It is an essential skill in algebra, as it allows us to solve
equations and simplify expressions. Factoring methods include finding
common factors, using the difference of squares, and applying the quadratic
formula for quadratic trinomials.
Rational Expressions:
Rational expressions are fractions in which the numerator and denominator
are polynomials. We can perform operations on rational expressions, such as
addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division. Simplifying rational
expressions involves canceling out common factors and applying the rules of
fractions.
Systems of Equations:
A system of equations is a set of two or more equations with the same
variables. Solving a system of equations means finding the values of the
variables that satisfy all the equations simultaneously. There are several
