Getting Started with Algebra What is Algebra ? Algebra is a branch of mathematics in which symbols, usually letters, are used to represent quantities that can be replaced by a number or an expression. ( ) 4 X 3 2 SAMPLE KM & PP

Getting Started with Algebra Who invented Algebra ? Algebra is a reasoning skill and language that developed and evolved along with civilization. No one person invented Algebra SAMPLE KM & PP

Getting Started with Algebra Where did the word Algebra originate ? The word is from Kitab al-Jabr wa-l-Muqabala which was a book written in approximately 820 A.D. by a Persian mathematician. Algebra SAMPLE KM & PP

a letter used to represent various numbers. Variables variable A is a letter used to represent various numbers. X “x” is frequently used as the variable, but many other letters can be used. SAMPLE KM & PP

leg inseam measurement L Variables For example, jean sizes are often given by waist and leg inseam measurements. waist measurement W leg inseam measurement L SAMPLE KM & PP

Here are three examples: Define each Variable We must always define what quantity or measurement the letter represents. Here are three examples: X = unknown number W = waist measurement = leg inseam measurement L SAMPLE KM & PP

= the speed of light in Einstein’s equation E = mc2 c Constants A is constant a letter used to represent a number that doesn’t change its value in the problem. For example: = “pi” = 3.1416…. p = the speed of light in Einstein’s equation E = mc2 c SAMPLE KM & PP

Algebraic Expressions An algebraic expression is a mathematical phrase using variables, constants, numerals, & operation signs. algebraic expression An will NOT have any of the following symbols: = > < > < SAMPLE KM & PP

Algebraic Expressions: Examples x is the variable. + is the operation 5 is a numeral and a constant. is the algebraic expression SAMPLE KM & PP

Algebraic Expressions: Examples p is the variable. . is the indicated operation 3 is a numeral and a constant. is the algebraic expression SAMPLE KM & PP

Algebraic Expressions: Examples z is the variable. - is the operation 9 is a numeral and a constant. is the algebraic expression SAMPLE KM & PP

Algebraic Expressions: Examples y is the variable. ÷ is the operation 5 is a numeral and a constant. is the algebraic expression SAMPLE KM & PP

Algebraic Expressions: Examples x and y are variables.  and + are operations 2 and 5 are numerals and constants. is the algebraic expression SAMPLE KM & PP

Algebraic Expressions: Examples x and y are variables. + ÷  are operations 5 and 2 are numerals and constants. is the algebraic expression SAMPLE KM & PP

Substitution When a variable is replaced with a numerical value, that is called substitution. Sometimes, in higher mathematics, a variable is replaced with an expression. That is also called substitution. SAMPLE KM & PP

Evaluate an Algebraic Expression When a numerical value is substituted into an algebraic expression and then simplified, that is called evaluating the expression. Evaluating means you will compute a numerical value. SAMPLE KM & PP

Translating: English into Algebra In order to solve problems, English phrases must be translated into the language of algebra. The following slides list keywords which can help us translate. SAMPLE KM & PP

English & Algebra ADDITION The following words translate as ADDITION: Plus Sum Add Added to Total More than Increased by SAMPLE KM & PP

The following phrases would translate to : X + 7 The following phrases would translate to : A number plus seven The sum of a number and seven Add a number and seven Seven added to a number The total of seven and a number Seven more than a number A number increased by seven SAMPLE KM & PP

English & Algebra SUBTRACTION The following words translate as SUBTRACTION: Minus Difference Subtract Subtracted From Take away Less Than Decreased by SAMPLE KM & PP

The following phrases would translate to : X - 7 The following phrases would translate to : A number minus seven The difference of a number and seven Subtract a number and seven Seven subtracted from a number Seven take away a number Seven less than a number A number decreased by seven SAMPLE KM & PP

English & Algebra MULTIPLICATION The following words translate as MULTIPLICATION: Multiplied by Multiply Product Times Of SAMPLE KM & PP

The following phrases would translate to : 7x The following phrases would translate to : A number multiplied by seven Multiply seven and a number The product of a number and seven The product of seven and a number Seven times a number SAMPLE KM & PP

English & Algebra DIVISION The following words translate as DIVISION: Divided by Divide Quotient SAMPLE KM & PP

The following phrases would translate to : x/7 The following phrases would translate to : A number divided by seven Divide a number by seven The quotient of a number and seven SAMPLE KM & PP

The following phrases would translate to : 7/x The following phrases would translate to : Seven divided by a number Divide a seven by a number The quotient of seven and a number SAMPLE KM & PP

“Half of a number” would be or or SAMPLE KM & PP

“Thirty percent of a number” is: or SAMPLE KM & PP

“Twice” or “Double” “Twice a number” is: “Double a number” is: SAMPLE KM & PP

Translate a Phrase “Seven more than twice a number” Seven more than SAMPLE KM & PP

Translate a Phrase “Seven less than twice a number” Seven less than SAMPLE KM & PP

Translate a Phrase (watch for the comma) “the quotient of seven and a number increased by two” “the quotient of seven and a number, increased by two” comma SAMPLE KM & PP

Salary Increase? Suppose you will get a salary increase of 3%. Let s represent your old salary. The increase is 3% of your current salary, so 0.03s is the increase. Your new salary will be the sum of the old salary and the increase. So, s + 0.03s is your new salary. SAMPLE KM & PP

Discount? Suppose the bookstore has all merchandise on sale for 15% off. Let p represent the regular price. The discount is 15% of the regular price, so 0.15p is the discount. The sale price will be the difference of the regular price and the discount So, p - 0.15p is the sale price. SAMPLE KM & PP
