Introduction to basic algebra


Basic algebra is the branch of mathematics concerning the study of the rules of operations and relations, and the constructions and concepts arising from them, including terms, polynomials, equations and algebraic structures.
Together with geometry, analysis, topology, combination, and number theory, algebra is one of the main branches of pure mathematics. The part of algebra called elementary or basic algebra is often part of the curriculum in secondary education and introduces the concept of variables representing numbers. Statements based on these variables are manipulated using the rules of operations that apply to numbers, such as addition.In this article we shall discuss about basics of algebra

Sample Problem for Basic Algebra:

Example 1:

Solve the algebra equation.
|2x – 1| = 7
Solution:

Step 1: The absolute value of the given equation is already inaccessible.

Either 2 x-1 = +7 or 2 x - 1= -7

Step 2: Solve the equation 2 x – 1 =+7

2 x – 1 = 7

2 x = 8

X = 4

Step 3: Solve the equation 2x-1=-7

2 x – 1 = -7

2 x = -6

X = -3

The answers are 4 and -3. The answers may not be solutions to the equation.

Check the answer x=4 by replacement 4 in the given equation for x. If the left side of the equation sum value is equals the right side of the equation sum value after the replacement of x value, you have got the exact answer.

  • Left side: |2 (4) – 1 | = 7
  • Right Side: 7

Check the answer x = -3 by replacement -3 in the given equation for x. If the left side of the equation sum value is equals the right side of the equation sum value after the replacement of x value, you have got the exact answer.

  • Left Side: | 2 ( -3) – 1 | = - 7
  • Right Side: -7

The answer of the equation are x=4 and -3.

Writing Math


Normally, the writing math is classified into three types.

They are

  • Word form
  • Standard form
  • Expanded form

Writing math in Word form:

Writing the given number in alphabetical form is called as word form.

Example for Word form:

Write 8795 in word form:

Solution:

The place value should be taken in account.

8000 = Eight thousand

700 = Seven hundred

90 = ninety

5 = five

8795 = Eight thousand seven hundred and ninety five.

Writing math in Standard Form:

Writing the given number in reduced form is said to be standard form.

Example for standard form:

Express 567000 in standard form:

Solution:

567000 = 5.67 × 105

Here we have shifted the decimal to 5 places.

Writing math in expanded form:

Writing the given number in abbreviated form is said to be expanded form.

Example for Expanded form:

Expand the number: 9542

Solution:

9542 = 9000 + 500 + 40 + 2.

Theorem of MatrIces


Theorem of Matrice:
From the definition of inverse of a matrix, we have (AB)(AB)-1 = I

or A-1 (AB)(AB)-1 = A-1 I (Pre-multiplying both sides by A-1)

or (A-1A) B (AB)-1 = A-1 (Since A-1 I = A-1)

or I B (AB)-1 = A-1

or B (AB)-1 = A-1

or (B-1B)(AB)-1 =B-1A-1

or I(AB)-1= B-1A-1

or (AB)-1 = B-1A-1

Properties of Arithmetic


Properties of Arithmetic:

The properties of arithmetic define when the order of operations can be changed in an initial calculation, so that we can get a second calculation which is equal to the first obtained result. The arithmetic operations that involving real numbers and/or real extents that uses the properties of arithmetic.

There are three types of arithmetic properties. They are,
  • Associative property
  • Commutative property
  • Distributive property
The addition or multiplication of a group of values is similar to the how the numbers are grouped. There are three or more values involved in associative property. The parenthesis refers the terms that are considered one unit. The combination (Associative Property) are within the parenthesis. Therefore, the values are 'associated' together. For multiplication, the product is always same as the grouping. In Associative Property grouping the brackets are done first.

Associative property of addition:

a+(b+c)=(a+b)+c

Associative property for multiplication:

a×(b×c)=(a×b)×c

Example:

Find the associative property of 2+(3+9) and 2(85)

Solution:

2+(3+9)=(2+3)+9

2×(8×5)=(2×8)×5)

Commutative property is the property that altering the order of the values and does not alter the final result. It is a basic property of many binary operations. Many mathematical proofs based on it.

Distributive property of addition:

a+b=b+a

Distributive property for multiplication:

ab=ba

Example:

Find the Commutative property for 4+6 and 6×9

Solution:

4+6=6+4

6×9=9×6

Distributive properties used to distributing something or we can split something or broken up into parts.

This is defined as,

a(b+c)=ab+ac

Example:

Multiply 3 x 17 by using the distributive law.

Solution:

Given 3 x 17
=3(10 +7)
=3(10) + 3(7)
=30 + 21
Therefore 3 x 17=51.

Trigonometry application


Trigonometry application:

Triangulation technique is used in astronomy to measure the distance of nearby stars.
  • It is also used to measure the distance between the landmarks.
  • It is used to calculate the oscillation (the waves that moves in a space. There are so many waves like sound waves, earthquake waves, matter waves and the light waves)
  • The most important wave is the sin wave. It turns up all over the place, these wave forms can always be broken down into a series of superimposed sin waves of various frequencies. So this process is called as Fourier transform.

Table of Trigonometric identities


Table of Trigonometric identities:

reciprocal Identities: sin u = \frac{1}{csc u} cos u = \frac{1}{sec u} tan u = $\frac{1}{cot u}

Examples for Solve Length of side fire Triangle


Examples for Solve Length of side fire Triangle:

1) Solve the length of two side’s fire triangle is 29 cm and 30cm. If perimeter of the fire triangle is 81 cm, what is the length of third side of the fire triangle?

Solution:

Let third side length of the triangle is x cm then,

20 + 30 + x = 81

50+ x = 81

x = 81 -50

x = 31cm

Therefore length of third side of the fire triangle is 31cm.

How to find slope of a line?


Find the slope of the line where the points are ( 9,5) and (7,3) by using straight line tools.

Solution:

The formula for slope m = (y1-y2) / (x1-x2).

M = (5-3) / (9 -7).

M = 2 / 2.

= 1.

Thus the slope of line is 1.

Arithmetic Progressions


Arithmetic Progressions:
Consider the following lists of numbers :
(i) 1, 2, 3, 4, . . .
(ii) 100, 70, 40, 10, . . .
(iii) – 3, –2, –1, 0, . . .
(iv) 3, 3, 3, 3, . . .
(v) –1.0, –1.5, –2.0, –2.5, . . .
Each of the numbers in the list is called a term. In (i), each term is 1 more than the term preceding it. In (ii), each term is 30 less than the term preceding it. In (iii), each term is obtained by adding 1 to the term preceding it. In (iv), all the terms in the list are 3 , i.e., each term is obtained by adding (or subtracting) 0 to the term preceding it. In (v), each term is obtained by adding – 0.5 to (i.e., subtracting 0.5 from) the term preceding it. In all the lists above, we see that successive terms are obtained by adding a fixed number to the preceding terms. Such list of numbers is said to form an Arithmetic Progression ( AP ). So, an arithmetic progression is a list of numbers in which each term is obtained by adding a fixed number to the preceding term except the first term.

Slope of a Line




Slope of a Line:
A line in a coordinate plane forms two angles with the x-axis, which are supplementary.
The angle (say) θ made by the line l with positive direction of x-axis and measured anti clockwise
is called the inclination of the line. Obviously 0° ≤ θ ≤ 180° (below Fig ). We observe that lines parallel to x-axis, or coinciding with x-axis, have inclination of 0°. The inclination of a vertical line (parallel to coinciding with y-axis) is 90°.


Definition 1 If θ is the inclination of a line l, then tan θ is called the slope or gradient of the line l. The slope of a line whose inclination is 90° is not defined. The slope of a line is denoted by m. Thus, m = tan θ, θ ≠ 90° It may be observed that the slope of x-axis is zero and slope of y-axis is not defined.

Perimeter and Area of a Circle


Perimeter and Area of a Circle:
circumference of a circle bears a constant ratio with its diameter. This constant ratio
is denoted by the Greek letter π (read as ‘pi’). In other words

Circumference/Diameter=π
circumference = π × diameter = π × 2r (where r is the radius of the circle) = 2πr


The great Indian mathematician Aryabhatta (A.D. 476 – 550) gave an approximate
value of π. He stated that π =62832/20000 which is nearly equal to 3.1416.
However, for practical purposes, we generally take the value of π as 22/7 or 3.14, approximately

area of the circle =1/2× 2πr × r = πr2
