Study Notes
Algebraic and Verbal Expressions
- Algebraic expressions can be expressed in verbal form to describe mathematical operations.
- Verbal expressions communicate the nature of the operation (sum, difference, product, quotient) clearly.
Conversion Examples
- 9 + 8 translates to "The sum of nine and eight."
- 9 + x translates to "The sum of nine and a number."
- 14 - p translates to "Fourteen decreased by a number p."
- t - 7 translates to "Seven less than a number t."
Operations and Their Verbal Equivalents
- 9 · n or 9n expresses as "The product of 9 and a number n."
- 32 ÷ y translates to "Thirty-two divided by a number y."
Verbal to Algebraic Transformations
- "Five more than twice a number" corresponds to the algebraic expression 2n + 5.
- "The product of a number and 6" is expressed as 6n.
- "Seven divided by twice a number" translates to 7 ÷ 2n.
- "Three times a number decreased by 11" corresponds to 3n - 11.
Key Takeaways
- Patterns exist in verbal descriptions that help identify mathematical operations.
- Familiarizing oneself with the conversion processes enhances understanding of mathematical relationships.
