How many terms are in 3 + 2x + 7x2 + 4y the expression? ___ each are separate terms 2. How many variables are in If the letters are the expression? ___ different, or have different powers, they are different 3. How many coefficients are in terms the expression? ___ Difference Between: Variables, Coefficients, Terms, Expressions, Equations In this expression: How many terms are in the 3 + 2x + 7x2 + 4y expression? 4 each are separate terms How many variables are in the expression? If the letters are 2 different, or have different How many coefficients are in the powers, they are different expression? terms 3 Difference Between: Variables, Coefficients, Terms, Expressions, Equations Expression Equation An expression is a An equation sets two "phrase" that represents expressions equal to each a number other Example: Example: 2(h + w) 2(d - 1) = h + d Difference Between: Variables, Coefficients, Terms, Expressions, Equations Expression Equation a collection of more than one term: has an equals sign (=), and the Examples of expressions: value of the variable typically 3x+5y can be worked out by solving the 2x2−5x equation There is normally an addition or a Example of equation: subtraction involved, and the combinations of variables are not the 5x−3=2 same because the value of x can be An expression does not have an equals sign solved INEQUALITIES An inequality is a statement that shows the relationship between two (or more) expressions with one of the following signs: < ≤ > ≥ ≠ INEQUALITIES An inequality gives a set of answers for an algebraic statement Example: -- x > 12 is an inequality, where values of x are rational, whole numbers -- 13, 14, 15, 16 for example, are all valid answers for that statement INEQUALITIES Like an equation, an inequality can be true or false: 34 - 12 > 5 + 2 TRUE OR FALSE 1+3≤6-2 TRUE OR FALSE 1+3≠6-2 TRUE OR FALSE -20 < - 18 TRUE OR FALSE INEQUALITIES Like an equation, an inequality can be true or false: 34 - 12 > 5 + 2 is a true statement 1+3≤6-2 is a true statement 1+3≠6-2 is a false statement -20 < - 18 is a true statement Inequalities and Number Lines Inequalities can be graphed on a number line EXAMPLE: This graph represents the inequality x ≤ 2 1/2 The dark line represents all the numbers that satisfy x ≤ 2 1/2. If we pick any number on the bolded line and plug it in for x, the inequality will be true Inequalities and Number Lines On the board: graph the number line which represents the inequality x < 2 1/2? Inequalities and Number Lines On the board: graph the number line which represents the inequality x < 2 1/2? Inequalities and Number Lines How would you graph the number line which represents the inequality: x ≠ 2 1/2? Inequalities and Number Lines How would you graph the number line which represents the inequality: x ≠ 2 1/2? Inequalities on a Graph Graph the inequality described by −3 < y ≤ 2 Inequalities on a Graph Graph the inequality described by −3 < y ≤ 2 Inequalities and Graphs What inequality does the graph, represented by the shading and the line, describe? Inequalities and Graphs What inequality does the graph, represented by the shading and the line, describe? y
