Study Notes

Algebraic Expressions Study Notes

  • Algebraic expressions represent mathematical phrases combining numbers and variables.
  • "Four more than a number b" converts to the expression 4 + b.
  • "The product of 8 and the sum of a number x and 3" translates to 8(x + 3).
  • Savings situation of "$25 with an addition of $1.50 daily" is modeled as 25 + 1.5d, with d as days.
  • A cell phone usage scenario of "250 minutes left and 60 minutes used weekly" is expressed as 250 - 60w, where w represents weeks.

Evaluating Expressions

  • The expression 4a + 7b + 3a - 2b + 2a simplifies to -30 for values a = -5 and b = 3.
  • For the expression 4(2m - n) - 3(2m - n), substituting m = -15 and n = -18 yields -12.

Application of Expressions

  • The expression 16t² indicates the distance an object falls in feet after t seconds; after 2 seconds, it falls 64 feet.
  • In the expression 4(2m - n), 2 functions as a coefficient, illustrating its role in multiplication.
  • The subexpression (2m - n) is categorized as a factor since it is multiplied by 4.
  • Within 4(2m - n), 2m is designated as a term, representing a component of the overall expression.

Further Breakdown of Terms

  • In 4b + 32xz, 32xz is identified as both a product and a term, indicating multiple variables multiplied together.
  • The number 4 in the expression is regarded as both a factor and a coefficient, impacting the value of b.
