Slide 1- 3 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Algebraic Expressions An algebraic expression consists of variables, numbers, and operation signs. Examples: When an equals sign is placed between two expressions, an equation is formed.

Slide 1- 4 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Algebraic Expressions vs. Equations Algebraic Expresions Equations

Slide 1- 5 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc.

Slide 1- 6 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Example Translate each of the following to an algebraic expression: 1.5 minus a number 2.5 less than a number 3.3 less than twice a number 4.2 more than the square of a number 5.5 percent of a number

Slide 1- 7 Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Exponential Notation The expression a n, in which n is a counting number means multiply a n times. In a n, a is called the base and n is called the exponent, or power. When no exponent appears, it is assumed to be 1. Thus a 1 = a.

Slide Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Absolute Value The notation |a|, read “the absolute value of a,” represents the number of units that a is from zero. a. |  4.3| = 4.3 –4.3 is 4.3 units from 0. b. |0| = 0 0 is 0 units from itself. c. |17| = is 17 units from 0. Example

Slide Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Inequalities < means “is less than” means “is less than or equal to” > means “is greater than” means “is greater than or equal to” For any two numbers on a number line, the one to the left is said to be less than the one to the right. – –1 < 3 since –1 is to the left of 3

Slide Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley 3 < 12 “3 is less than 12” is true because 3 is to the left of 12. “0 is less than or equal to – 9 ” is false because 0 is to the right of – 9. 7 > 2 “7 is greater than 2” is true because 7 is to the right of 2. “5 is greater than or equal to 5” is true because 5 = 5. Example Write out the meaning of each inequality and determine whether it is a true statement. Solution

Slide Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Addition of Two Real Numbers 1.Positive numbers: Add the numbers. The result is positive. 2.Negative numbers: Add the absolute values. Make the answer negative. 3.A negative and a positive number: If the numbers have the same absolute value, the answer is 0. Otherwise subtract the smaller absolute value from the larger one. a. If the positive number has the greater absolute value, make the answer positive. b. If the negative number has the greater absolute value, make the answer negative. 4.One number is zero: The sum is the other number.

Slide Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley Types of Equations An identity is an equation that is true for all replacements that can be used on both sides of the equation. A contradiction is an equation that is never true. A conditional equation is sometimes true and sometimes false, depending on what the replacement is.

Slide Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley The equation is true regardless of the choice for x, so all real numbers are solutions. The equation is an identity. Solution Example

Slide Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley The equation is false for any choice of x, so there is no solution for this equation. The equation is a contradiction. Solution Example

Slide Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley There is one solution, 7. For all other choices of x, the equation is false. The equation is a conditional equation. Solution Example

Slide Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley The First Step in Problem Solving with Algebra To familiarize yourself with the problem: 1. If the problem is written, read it carefully. Then read it again, perhaps aloud. Verbalize the problem to yourself. 2. List the information given and restate the question being asked. Select a variable or variables to represent any unknown(s) and clearly state what each variable represents. Be descriptive! 3. Find additional information. Look up formulas or definitions with which you are not familiar.

Slide Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley The First Step in Problem Solving(continued) 4. Create a table, using variables, in which both known and unknown information is listed. Look for possible patterns. 5. Make and label a drawing. 6. Estimate an answer and check to see whether it is correct.

Slide Copyright © 2010 Pearson Education, Inc. Publishing as Pearson Addison-Wesley The Second and Third Steps in Problem Solving with Algebra Translate the problem to mathematical language. This is sometimes done by writing an algebraic expression, but most often in this text it is done by translating to an equation. Carry out some mathematical manipulation.
