Study Notes
Algebraic Expressions Study Notes
- Numerical Expressions: Composed of numbers and operations, representing a mathematical phrase.
- Order of Operations: A systematic rule used for evaluating mathematical expressions to ensure consistent results.
- Commutative Property: Permits the rearrangement of numbers in addition or multiplication without affecting the outcome.
- Associative Property: Allows the regrouping of numbers in addition or multiplication, facilitating various combinations for calculations.
- Identity Property: States that adding 0 to any number leaves it unchanged, and multiplying any number by 1 also keeps it the same.
- Distributive Property: Involves distributing a multiplier to each addend within a sum, ensuring equivalent results when applying multiplication.
- Variable: A symbol, typically a letter, that stands in for an unknown number, allowing for flexible expression in algebra.
- Constant: A fixed value that remains unchanged regardless of other variables in an expression.
- Algebraic Expression: A mathematical statement incorporating at least one variable, demonstrating relationships between numbers and operations.
- Evaluate: The process of determining the numerical value of an expression by substituting variables with numbers and performing calculations.
- Term: Indicates distinct elements within an expression that are either added or subtracted; can consist of numbers, variables, or their products.
- Coefficient: Refers to the numerical factor that multiplies a variable in an algebraic expression, influencing the term's value directly.
