Algebraic Expressions

Mathematical concepts, rules and properties of numbers will not be
easy to understand without knowledge of algebraic symbols and expressions.
A single variable or a combination of mathematical symbols, variables and
constant constitute an algebraic expression. In this lesson, we will learn
related terms in algebra and evaluates the algebraic expressions. Mastery of
these concepts is fundamental to learn algebra.
What’s In
+ =5
x+y =5
In the last expression, x and y may take values from the set of
integers that make the statement true. For example:
5+0=5 2+3=5 -1 + 6 = 5 -4 + 9 = 5
4+1=5 1+4=5 -2 + 7 = 5 -5 + 10 = 5
3+2=5 0+5=5 -3 + 8 = 5 -6 + 11 = 5
There is an infinite number of values that can take the places for x
and y. These letters are called variables and the number 5, which
remains unchanged, is called constant.

An exponent of 1 can be omitted in a term such as in 2y, xy, and -8x
which means 2y 1, x1 y 1, and -8x 1, respectively.
In the term 3x2, 3 is called the numerical coefficient and x2 is called the
literal coefficient.

D. Algebraic Expressions, Terms and Polynomials
Algebra is a branch of mathematics which generalizes the facts of
arithmetic. The result of combining symbols such as letters, numbers,
punctuations and operations of arithmetic is called an algebraic expression
or simply an expression.
Some examples of algebraic expressions are:
𝑥 2 √3 1
7, 2x, -3y + 4, √4b2, +(xy – 1), πr2, 4x-3yz, (𝛼 + 𝛽)
4 2
Examples:

D. 𝑥+1
- x2 + x-3 + 1 - There are four terms.
The degree of a term is the exponent of its variable while the degree of
the polynomial is the highest degree appearing in any of the terms in that
polynomial. For example, in the polynomial 3x4 + x2 – 9x + 7, the degree of
the terms are as follow:
3x4 has degree 4, x2 has degree 2, -9x has degree 1, and 7 has degree 0.
If a term consists of two or more variables, the degree of that term is the sum
of the exponents of the variables. For example, in the polynomial xy2 + 7x2y4 – 5y4,
we have the degree of each term as follow:
Since 6 is the highest sum of the exponent from the term 7x2y4, the
polynomial xy2 + 7x2y4 – 5y4 has a degree 6.
Note that √4𝑥 is not a monomial since it is not a polynomial in the first
place.

Kind of polynomial according to its degree
Example 1. Evaluate
a. x + 3y if x = 2, and y = -1.
b. 2x -3xy + 4y
2 if x = -1, and y = 2.
Solution:
a. Replacing the values for x and y and simplifying, we get
x + 3y = 2 + 3(-1)
= 2 -3
= -1
b. Upon substituting the values of x and y and simplifying, we obtain
2x2 -3xy + 4y = 2( -1)2 – 3(-1)(2) + 4(2)
= 2(1) + 6 + 8
= 16
b. x3 – 3x – 4; x = 0 d x3 – 3x – 4; x = 2
= (0)3 – 3(0) – 4 = (2)3 – 3(2) – 4
= 0–0–4 =8–6–4
