Study Notes
Course Information
- Course: MTH101
- Institution: Batterjee Medical College
- Instructor: Ms. Afaf Alqahtani
Lecture 4: Variables and Constants
- Variables are literal numbers that can have different values
- Constants have a fixed value
- In algebra, constants are typically denoted by letters (a, b, c) and variables by letters (x, y, z).
- All real numbers are considered constants
- Examples of constants: 6, -3.5, √15, 11
- Examples of variables: 1/2x, 9r, −2y, 4x + y
- Variables' values depend on the values of any unknown variables.
Lecture 4: Algebraic Expressions and Polynomials
- An algebraic expression is a combination of numbers, variables, and arithmetic operations (+, -, ×, ÷).
- Separate parts of an algebraic expression are called terms.
- The first term's sign is often omitted in algebraic expressions.
- Example: 2x - 5y + 6
- Terms in this example are 2x, -5y and 6.
Lecture 4: Coefficients
- Coefficients are the numerical factors in front of the variables in an algebraic expression.
- In an expression like 2x, the coefficient of x is 2
- In 2/3y, the coefficient of y is 2/3
- If no number is written with a variable, the coefficient is 1 (e.g., the coefficient of x is 1).
Lecture 4: Polynomials
- A polynomial is an algebraic expression where:
- No variables are in the denominator
- Exponents of the variables are whole numbers (0, 1, 2, ...)
- All coefficients are real numbers.
- Examples of Polynomials: x - 3y, -3x² + 2x – 1, 2x⁴y³ – 9x³y² + 6xy + 8
- Examples that are NOT Polynomials: 2/x, x⁻² + 4, √x − 5y + z
Lecture 5: Degree of Terms and Polynomials
- The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of its variables.
- Non-zero constants have degree 0.
- Examples:
- In 2x²y², the degree is 2 + 2 = 4
- In 3x²y³, the degree is 2 + 3 = 5
- In 8xy, the degree is 1 + 1 = 2
- In 2 (the constant), the degree is 0.
- The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of any term in the polynomial.
Lecture 5: Classifying Polynomials
- Polynomials are classified by degree:
- Degree 0: Constant polynomials (e.g., 3)
- Degree 1: Linear polynomials (e.g., 5x + 4)
- Degree 2: Quadratic polynomials (e.g., 3x² - 5x + 4)
- Degree 3: Cubic polynomials (e.g, 2x³ − x² + x −3)
- Polynomials are also classified by the number of terms:
- Monomial: One term (e.g., 5x, 2x², -3x⁶, 8)
- Binomial: Two terms (e.g., x - 1, 3y - 1/2)
- Trinomial: Three terms (e.g., x + y + 2, 3x² − 5x + 4 )
Lecture 5: Evaluation of a Polynomial
- Evaluate a Polynomial by substituting the given value of the variable into the polynomial and then computing the result.
- Examples: Evaluates P(x) = 3x² +x-5, where x = 2 is calculated by substituting x=2 to result to 9
Lecture 5: Zero of a Polynomial
- The zero of a polynomial is a value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.
- Example: P(x) = x² -3x +2
- P(1) = (1)² -3(1) +2 = 0
- P(2) = (2)² -3(2) +2 = 0 then x=1, x=2 are the zeroes.
Lecture 6: Linear Equations in One Variable
- A linear equation in one variable has the form ax + b = c, where a, b, and c are constants and x is the variable.
- To solve linear equations, use the addition/subtraction and multiplication/division rules.
- These rules state that performing the same operation on both sides of an equation does not change the solution(s). For Example:
- 2x - 3 = 13 // Add 3 to both sides
- 2x = 16 // Divide both sides by 2
- x = 8
Lecture 6: Consecutive Integers
- Consecutive integers are integers that follow each other in order (e.g., 1, 2, 3, etc).
- Consecutive even/odd integers follow the same order, but only even or only odd numbers are used.
- The difference between any two consecutive integers is 1 and consecutive even/odd integers is 2
- Relationships among consecutive integers (even/odd) allows solving problems with one variable and one equation.
Lecture 7: Quadratic Equations in One Variable
- A quadratic equation in one variable has the form ax² + bx + c = 0, where a, b, and c are constants and x is the variable.
- Quadratic equations may have 0, 1, or 2 real solutions.
- If 'a' is zero, it is no longer a quadratic equation and becomes linear instead.
- The quadratic formula is used to solve quadratic equations
- x = (-b ± √(b² - 4ac)) / 2a
