    Study Notes

    Algebra

    What is Algebra?

    • A branch of mathematics that deals with variables and their relationships
    • Involves the study of algebraic expressions, equations, and functions

    Key Concepts

    • Variables: Letters or symbols that represent unknown values or quantities
    • Constants: Numbers that do not change value
    • Algebraic Expressions: Combinations of variables, constants, and mathematical operations
    • Equations: Statements that express the equality of two algebraic expressions
    • Functions: Relations between a set of inputs (domain) and a set of possible outputs (range)

    Types of Algebraic Expressions

    • Monomials: Expressions with a single term (e.g. 2x, 3y)
    • Binomials: Expressions with two terms (e.g. x + 3, 2x - 4)
    • Polynomials: Expressions with multiple terms and variables (e.g. x^2 + 3x - 4, 2y^2 - 5y + 1)

    Operations on Algebraic Expressions

    • Addition and Subtraction: Combining like terms
    • Multiplication: Distributive property (e.g. 2(x + 3) = 2x + 6)
    • Division: Factoring and canceling out common terms

    Solving Equations

    • Linear Equations: Equations with a degree of 1 (e.g. 2x + 3 = 5)
    • Quadratic Equations: Equations with a degree of 2 (e.g. x^2 + 4x + 4 = 0)
    • Systems of Equations: Sets of equations with multiple variables

    Graphing and Functions

    • Graphs: Visual representations of functions on a coordinate plane
    • Domain and Range: The set of inputs and possible outputs of a function
    • Function Operations: Composition, inverse, and identity functions

    Algebra

    Definition and Scope

    • Algebra is a branch of mathematics that deals with variables and their relationships
    • It involves the study of algebraic expressions, equations, and functions

    Key Concepts

    Variables and Constants

    • Variables are letters or symbols that represent unknown values or quantities
    • Constants are numbers that do not change value

    Algebraic Expressions

    • Algebraic expressions are combinations of variables, constants, and mathematical operations

    Equations

    • Equations are statements that express the equality of two algebraic expressions

    Functions

    • Functions are relations between a set of inputs (domain) and a set of possible outputs (range)

    Types of Algebraic Expressions

    Monomials

    • Monomials are expressions with a single term (e.g. 2x, 3y)

    Binomials

    • Binomials are expressions with two terms (e.g.x + 3, 2x - 4)
