Study Notes

Algebraic Expressions

  • An algebraic expression combines constants and variables using mathematical operations (+, -, ×, ÷).
  • A monomial has one term.
  • A binomial has two terms.
  • A trinomial has three terms.

Factors of Algebraic Expressions

  • Factors are parts of an expression.
  • Factorization is representing an expression as a product of its factors.
  • Numerical coefficients of factors are multiplied to find the total coefficient.
  • Factors of a monomial can be written as a product (e.g., 8a²b = 1 × 8a²b, 8a²b = 2a² × 4b, etc.)
  • Common factors are factors common to two or more monomials.
  • The highest common factor (H.C.F.) for monomials is the greatest common factor of the coefficients and the highest power of each variable
  • Steps to find the H.C.F. of monomials:
    • Find the H.C.F. of the numerical coefficients.
    • Find the common variables.
    • Find the highest common power of each variable.
    • Multiply the H.C.F. of the coefficients and the highest common powers of the variables.

Factorisation by taking out a common factor

  • Find the highest common factor (HCF) of all terms of the expression.
  • Express each term of the expression as a product of HCF and the quotient obtained by dividing each term by HCF.
  • Use distributive property to express the given expression as a product of HCF and the sum of the quotients.
  • Terms in an algebraic expression will have common factors which can be taken out to make the expression simpler

Multiplication of a monomial and a binomial

  • Multiply the monomial by each term of the binomial.
  • Add or subtract the products to get the final result.

Multiplication of Binomials

  • Use the distributive property twice: (a + b)(c + d) = a(c + d) + b(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd

Multiplication of a Binomial and a Trinomial

  • Multiply each term of the binomial by each term of the trinomial.
  • Combine like terms.
