Study Notes
Algebraic Expressions and Identities
- Algebraic expressions are combinations of variables, constants, and mathematical operations.
- Examples include: x + 3, 2y – 5, 3x², 4xy + 7.
- Addition and subtraction of algebraic expressions involve combining like terms. Like terms have the same variables raised to the same power.
- Observe the coefficients and add (or subtract) them to combine like terms.
- Example: 7x² – 4x + 5 + 9x – 10 = 7x² + 5x – 5
Multiplication of Algebraic Expressions
- Multiplying algebraic expressions involves multiplying coefficients and variables.
- When multiplying variables, add the exponents of the same variables.
- An expression with one term is a monomial, two terms is a binomial, and three terms is a trinomial, and many terms is a polynomial.
- Example: 5x × 4x² = 20x³
- More complex products follow the distributive property: 3x(5y + 2) = (3x × 5y) + (3x × 2) = 15xy + 6x.
Multiplying a Monomial by a Polynomial
- Involves multiplying the monomial by each term of the polynomial.
- Use the distributive property.
- Combine like terms.
- Example: 3x(4x² + 5x + 7) = (3x × 4x²) + (3x × 5x) + (3x × 7) = 12x³ + 15x² + 21x
Multiplying a Binomial by a Binomial
- Use the distributive property to multiply each term of the first binomial by each term of the second.
- Combine like terms.
- Example: (x - 4)(2x + 3) = x(2x + 3) – 4(2x + 3) = 2x² + 3x – 8x – 12 = 2x² - 5x - 12
Volume
- Volume is calculated by multiplying length × breadth × height.
- Example: Volume of a rectangular box with length 2ax, breadth 3by, and height 5cz is 2ax × 3by × 5cz = 30abcxyz.
