What are variables in algebra?

In algebra, a variable is a symbol that represents an unknown number or value. Variables are used to write mathematical expressions and equations in a general form, allowing us to solve for unknown quantities or find patterns in relationships between quantities. They can take on different values, and their values can change based on the context of the problem or equation they are used in.

What is the order of operations in algebra?

In algebra, the order of operations is as follows: Parentheses, Exponents, Multiplication and Division (from left to right), Addition and Subtraction (from left to right). This order helps to determine which calculations to perform first when solving mathematical expressions to ensure a consistent and correct result.

How do you solve a simple linear equation?

To solve a simple linear equation, you need to isolate the variable on one side of the equation. You can do this by performing operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, or division on both sides of the equation. The goal is to get the variable by itself on one side of the equation and a specific number on the other side. Once you have isolated the variable, you can determine its value and solve the equation.

What is the slope-intercept form of a linear equation?

The slope-intercept form of a linear equation is represented as y = mx + b, where m is the slope of the line and b is the y-intercept, which is the point where the line intersects the y-axis. This form allows us to easily identify the slope and y-intercept of a line and graph it accordingly.

How do you graph a linear equation?

To graph a linear equation, start by rewriting it in slope-intercept form, y = mx + b, where m is the slope and b is the y-intercept. Plot the y-intercept on the y-axis, then use the slope to find additional points by moving up or down the slope from the y-intercept. Connect these points with a straight line to create the graph of the linear equation.

What are exponential growth and decay functions?

Exponential growth functions are functions where the variable increases at a constant rate over time, following the form y = ab^x, where a is the initial value, b is the base factor greater than 1, and x is the time variable. On the other hand, exponential decay functions are those where the variable decreases at a constant rate over time, following the similar form y = ab^x where the base factor b is between 0 and 1. Both types of functions display rapid change with respect to time, either in growth or decline.

How do you factor quadratic expressions?

To factor quadratic expressions, you can use techniques such as factoring by grouping, factoring by the difference of squares, or using the quadratic formula. First, look for common factors and factor them out. Then, if the quadratic expression is in the form ax^2 + bx + c, find two numbers that multiply to a*c and add up to b. Use these numbers to rewrite the quadratic expression as a product of two binomials. Remember to check your solution by multiplying the binomials to ensure they give you the original quadratic expression.

How do you solve quadratic equations using the quadratic formula?

To solve a quadratic equation using the quadratic formula, first identify the coefficients a, b, and c in the general form of a quadratic equation, ax^2 + bx + c = 0. Then, substitute these values into the formula x = (-b ± ?(b^2 - 4ac)) / 2a. Next, calculate the discriminant (b^2 - 4ac) to determine the nature of the solutions: if the discriminant is positive, there are two real solutions, if it is zero there is one real solution (a repeated root), and if it is negative, there are two complex solutions. Finally, plug the values of a, b, and c into the quadratic formula and solve for x using the positive and negative square root of the discriminant to find the solutions to the quadratic equation.

How do you simplify radical expressions?

To simplify radical expressions, first determine if you can factor the number inside the square root. Next, find the largest perfect square that can be extracted from the number inside the square root. Divide the number by the perfect square to simplify the expression. Finally, multiply the simplified number outside the square root by the simplified number inside the square root to get the final simplified radical expression.

How do you solve systems of equations using substitution or elimination?

To solve systems of equations using substitution, you isolate one variable in one of the equations and substitute its value into the other equation. This creates an equation with only one variable, which you can solve to find the value of that variable. Then, you substitute this value back into one of the original equations to find the value of the other variable. Alternatively, to solve systems of equations using elimination, you add or subtract the equations in the system to eliminate one of the variables, creating an equation with only one variable that you can then solve. Finally, plug the solution back into one of the original equations to find the value of the other variable in the system.
