ALGEBRA..

ALGEBRA A branch of mathematics that substitutes letters for numbers. An algebraic equation represents a scale, what is done on one side of the scale with a number is also done to the other side of the scale. The numbers are the constants. Algebra can include real numbers, complex numbers, matrices, vectors etc. Moving from Arithmetic to Algebra will look something like this: Arithmetic: 3 + 4 = 3 + 4 in Algebra it would look like: x + y = y + x

LINEAR EQUATIONS
A linear equations is a equation in which each variable occurs only raised to the power 1. Variables are combined only by addition and subtraction.

IN ONE VARIABLE

IN TWO VARIABLE

IN THREE VARIABLE

QUADRATIC EQUATIONS Algebraic expressions of the form ax2+bx+c, and quadratic equations are equations of the form ax2+bx+c=0. ax2 is the quadratic term, bx is the linear term, and c is the constant term. The axis of symmetry is a line that divides a parabola into two equal parts that would match exactly if folded over on each other. The vertex is where the axis of symmetry meets the parabola. The roots or zeros (or solutions) are found by solving the quadratic equation for y=0 or looking at the graph

Quadratic Equations by Factoring


Factor with the zero product property: if a*b=0 then either a=0 or b=0 or both are equal to 0 Factoring by guess and check is useful, but you may have to try several combinations before you find the correct one While doing word problems examine your solutions carefully to make sure it is a reasonable answer

Example
Solve the equation (2t + 1)2 4(2t + 1) + 3 = 0. (2t + 1)(2t + 1) 4(2t + 1) + 3 = 0 4t2 + 2t + 2t + 1 8t 4 + 3 = 0 4t2 4t = 0 4t (4t 1) = 0 4t = 0 t1=0 t=0 t=1 The solutions are 0 and 1.

Completing the Square


The way to complete a square for x2 + bx + ? is to take x b and then square it So for x2 + 6x + ? : (6) = 3 32 = 9 Therefore, the blank should be 9. If the coefficient of x2 is not 1, you must divide the equation by that coefficient before completing the square Some roots will be irrational or imaginary numbers

Example
Find the exact solution of 2x2 6x 5 = 0.

x 3/2 = + 19/2 or

x 3/2 = - 19/2 2x2 6x 5 = 0 x2 3x 5/2 = 0 Solution: 2 3x + o = 5/2 + o x x2 3x + 9/4 = 5/2 + 9/4 x = 3/2 + 19/2 and (x 3/2)2 = 19/4 x = 3/2 19/2 (x 3/2)2 = 19/4

QUADRATIC FORMULA
The solutions of the quadratic equation ax2+bx+c=0 are given by the formula -b +/- b2 4ac 2a where the value d=b is called the discriminant . The formula is obtained by completing the square on the quadratic equation ax + bx +c = 0. x=
