Study Notes
Constants and Variables
- Constant: Represents a fixed value, can be a number or a letter.
- Variable: A letter that can represent a set of real numbers, with values determined by the context.
Algebraic Expressions
- Expressions consist of constants and/or variables combined through operations: addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
- Term: Each monomial within an expression.
- Binomial: An expression made up of two terms.
- Multinomial: An expression composed of more than two terms.
Degree of Multinomial
- Degree of a Term: The exponent of a literal factor within the term.
- Example: In (3x^2y^3z), the degrees are (x = 2), (y = 3), (z = 1).
Powers and Exponents
- Power: Combination of a base and an exponent.
- Exponent: Indicates how many times the base acts as a factor.
- Standard notation for the nth power: (b^n) is read as "b raised to the nth power."
Rules for Positive Integral Exponents
- Rule 1: (a^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n})
- Rule 2: (a^m / a^n = a^{m-n}) (where (m > n) and (a \neq 0))
- Rule 3: ((ab)^m = a^m b^m) (for (m > 0))
- Rule 4: (\left(\frac{a}{b}\right)^m = \frac{a^m}{b^m}) (for (b \neq 0))
- Rule 5: ((a^m)^n = a^{m \cdot n})
Multiplication of Algebraic Expressions
- Use the distributive property for multiplying multinomials.
- Example: ((2x - 3y)(x^2 - 3xy)) expands through distribution to combine like terms.
Division of Algebraic Expressions
- Monomial by Monomial: Use rules of exponents and fundamental fraction theorem.
- Multinomial by Monomial: Arrange terms by decreasing powers of a common factor; divide term by term.
- Multinomial by Multinomial: Follow similar principles, applying polynomial long division when necessary.
Exercises
- Various operations such as addition, subtraction, and multiplication of algebraic expressions require simplification according to the aforementioned rules and properties.
