Basic Algebra

## Basic Algebra: Key Concepts and Applications

### Introduction

Algebra is the branch of mathematics dealing with variables and the rules for manipulating them.

The primary focus in basic algebra is the solving of equations and the graphical representation of

these equations.

### Key Concepts

1. **Variables and Expressions**: A variable is a symbol used to represent a number. Example: x +

5 = 10.

2. **Linear Equations**: These are equations of the first degree (i.e., the highest exponent of the

variable is 1). General form: ax + b = c.

3. **Quadratic Equations**: A second-degree equation. General form: ax² + bx + c = 0.

4. **Graphing Functions**: Functions like linear (y = mx + b) and quadratic (y = ax² + bx + c) are

graphically represented on a coordinate plane.

### Example Problems

- Solve for x: 2x + 4 = 10.

- Graph y = 2x + 3.

### Applications

Algebra is used in fields such as physics, economics, and engineering, especially in the modeling of

relationships between variables.

### Graphical Representation


Graphing equations is a key aspect of algebra, used to visualize how one variable affects another.
