Study Notes
Measurement
- Measurement is the process of assigning a numerical value to a property of an object or event
- Measurements can apply to nominal properties of objects or events in fields such as social sciences, psychology, and business
- The modern International System of Units (SI) is based on seven fundamental physical quantities: length, mass, time, electric current, thermodynamic temperature, amount of substance, and luminous intensity
Algebraic Expressions
- Measurement facilitates the assignment of numerical values to variables in algebraic expressions
- In algebraic expressions, a constant represents a value that does not change
- A variable in an algebraic expression represents a value that can change
- In the expression 2x^3 + 3y^2 + 4xy + 1, 'x' and 'y' represent variables, and the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 4 represent constants
- The role of a variable in an algebraic expression is to represent a value that can change
- A constant in mathematics represents a value that does not change
Note: I've grouped the notes into two sections, one for measurement and one for algebraic expressions, to make it easier to review and study.
