Learn & practice Algebra today; groupings, like / unlike terms, brackets, polynomials, base, coefficients, powers
What you will learn
In algebra terms are separated by a plus (+) and minus (-) only
Like terms refer to terms that have the same variables (or none) and the variables all have the same degree (power) when compared between the terms
Grouping is the process of organising and then adding/subtracting like terms
Like Terms can be added together or subtracted from each other, but we cannot perform these operations with unlike terms
Grouping like terms is the process of ordering them together and then adding/subtracting them
Circular brackets means value are excluded from a range
Square brackets means values are included in a range
Curly brackets can be used in set notation to represent a range of values
In expressions and equations the three brackets are used to separate terms or βpartsβ with all given the same level of priority
Use different brackets to make the expression or equation look neater and easier to read. The type of bracket does not indicate the order in which we solve
The Distributive Law (and possibly Exponential Laws) are used to βremoveβ the innermost brackets
A polynomial is created through the addition and subtraction of terms
The degree of a polynomial is equal to the highest value of the sum of the exponents of the variables in any induvial term of the polynomial
A polynomial can be characterised by the number of terms it contains:
An expression has to follow a set of strict rules in order for it to be called a polynomial
