How do you isolate k
in the formula F = kx
?
To isolate k
, divide both sides by x
, resulting in k = rac{F}{x}
.

Study Notes
Factorization
- Factoring expressions: Finding expressions that multiply together to produce a given expression. This is the reverse of expansion.
- Common factors: Identify and factor out common factors from expressions.
- Binomial factorization: Factoring expressions with two terms, paying attention to common factors within the terms.
- Trinomial factorization: Factoring expressions with three terms using various methods to determine factors.
- Factorization by Grouping: Factoring expressions with four or more terms by grouping terms with common factors.
Algebraic Fractions
- Fractions containing variables: Simplify and manipulate algebraic fractions with common factors and terms across the numerator and denominator or by taking out common factors.
Change of Subject
- Subject of a formula: Isolating a specified variable in a formula. Manipulate equations by applying algebraic operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division) to both sides to isolate the desired variable.
- Rearranging formulas: Change the subject of a formula to isolate a specific variable.
Polynomials
-
Laws of indices: Rules for manipulating exponents (e.g., am * an = am+n, (am)n = amn).
-
Index notation: Expressing numbers and variables involving exponents in a compact form (e.g., 3x³).
-
Simplifying expressions: Using index laws to simplify expressions with exponents and variables.
-
Adding and subtracting polynomials: Combine like terms in expressions to simplify.
-
Multiplying polynomials: Multiplying monomials by polynomials, binomials by polynomials.
-
Polynomial identities: Demonstrate using polynomial identities.
-
Difference of two squares: A special case of factoring expressions where subtracting two squares equals the product of a sum and a difference of two terms.
-
e.g. (x2-y2) = (x+y)(x-y)
-
Concept of Polynomials:
-
Number of terms (monomials, binomials, trinomials and polynomials)
-
Coefficient of a term, constant term
-
Degree of a polynomial, arrangement of terms in a polynomial
-
Simplifying expressions with variables and exponents: Apply rules and properties to condense or rewrite algebraic expressions.
-
Expanding: Expanding expressions using distributive properties, expanding equations with parentheses, using identities to express expansions algebraically, e.g., (a+b)(a-b)=a2−b2
General
- Evaluation of Polynomials and Expressions: Substitution into expressions to find variable values from known values.
- Integrated Questions: Combined problems from different topics in algebra.
