Study Notes
Evaluating Expressions Overview
- Algebraic expressions consist of numbers, variables, and operations that can be evaluated.
- Evaluating involves substituting variables with specific values and calculating the result.
- Substitution is the process of replacing a variable in an expression with a given value.
Key Evaluations and Results
- For a = 10, a + 6 evaluates to 16.
- For B = 9, B² evaluates to 81.
- For x = 2, x³ evaluates to 8.
- For a = 2 and b = 3, a + b evaluates to 5.
Multiple Variable Evaluations
- For a = 2, b = 3, and c = 4, ab + c evaluates to 10.
- For a = 2, b = 3, and c = 4, a²b²c² evaluates to 576.
Expressions Involving Operations
- For a = 2 and b = 3, 2a - b evaluates to 1.
- For a = 2 and b = 3, 3ab evaluates to 18.
- For a = 2 and b = 3, (a + b)² evaluates to 25.
- For a = 2 and b = 3, a + b² evaluates to 11.
- For a = 2 and b = 3, 3a² + 4b² evaluates to 48.
Problem Solving Insights
- Sam incorrectly evaluated x²y for x = 7 and y = 9, mistakenly concluding it equals 49; this indicates he forgot to multiply.
- When asked to solve for x from 2x³ = 2, the solution yields x = 1.
