Study Notes
Expressions and Variables
- Variable expressions consist of variables combined with numerical operations.
- A variable can represent different values, allowing expressions to adapt based on these values.
Examples of Variable Values
- k equals 20.
- For a - 22, when evaluated, equals 30, which means a = 52.
- The expression 1 + 4 is incorrectly stated as equaling 10; correct value is 5.
- 5 = 4 is a flawed equation as it does not hold true.
Mathematical Operations
- Numerical expressions involve numbers and operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division).
- Common operations include:
- Addition: 2 + 5
- Subtraction: 120 - 80
- Multiplication: 8 × 4
- Division: 50 ÷ 10
Evaluating Expressions
- Value of 6x is calculated as 30, thus x = 5.
- Substitute values into expressions for simplification:
- For example, Ex. 26 (5x) - (3 + y) can be evaluated once values for x and y are provided.
Simplifying Expressions
- Simplifying involves combining like terms to achieve the simplest form.
- Key concepts include:
- Addition: e.g., 6 + 2, 5 + 3
- Subtraction: e.g., 22 - 14, 16 - 8
- Multiplication: e.g., 4x², 6 × 2
- Division: e.g., 48 ÷ 6, 40 ÷ 5
Homework and Problem Sets
- Assigned problems range from evaluating expressions (problems 1-12) to simplified forms (problems 13-32).
- Students should use the back of the textbook for verification with odd-numbered problems.
- Important to practice substitution of values in the expressions.
Miscellaneous
- The term "number" refers specifically to numerical values such as 1, 24, 33, etc.
- Familiarize with context and applications of each mathematical operation when evaluating or simplifying expressions.
