Algebra- Algebra is a branch of mathematics dealing with symbols and the rules for manipulating those symbols. ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONS- A combination of constants and variables, connected by some or all of the operations +, -, ×, and ÷ is known as an algebraic expression. Polynomials Monomial - Polynomial having one term. Binomial - Polynomial having two terms. Trinomial - Polynomial having three terms Zero Polynomial - Polynomial having all its coefficient zero. Constant Polynomial - A polynomial having only a single term ( of real number). Standard form - Powers of x are either in increasing or decreasing order. Addition of Algebraic expressions - In the addition of algebraic expression we collect the like terms and add them. Practice Questions 1. Solve the following equation for P : 2P/3 = 8 + 4P 2.If 8x + 5x + 2x + 4x = 114, then 7x + 8 = ? 3. If a = 3, then a 3 (a 3 -a)= ? 4. 5x + 2(x + 7) = 14x – 7. Find x ? 5.
