Algebra

What is Algebra?
• is a branch of mathematics that deals with
symbols and the rules for manipulating those
symbols to solve equations and study
relationships between quantities.
• It is a fundamental area of mathematics that
serves as a bridge between arithmetic (basic
calculations with numbers) and more
advanced mathematical concepts in various
fields of mathematics, science, engineering,
and economics.
Set of Real Numbers
• To which sets of numbers, listed
below does each of these
numbers belong?

Properties of Real Number
1. Closure Property
The set of real number is closed under addition and
multiplication. This means that adding or multiplying
two or more real number always results to another
number that belong to set of real number.

Ex. 3 and 11 are real numbers.


3 + 11 = 14 and 3 ⋅ 11 = 33

Notice that both 14 and 33 are real numbers.


Properties of Real Number
2. Commutative Property
The commutative properties tell you that
two numbers can be added or multiplied in
any order without affecting the result.
Properties of Real Number
3. The associative Property
The associative properties tell you that
you may group together the quantities in
any way without affecting the result.
Properties of Real Number
4. Distributive Property
The product of a number a by the sum of two
or more numbers (b+c+d+ ….) is equal to the sum of
the product of ab, ac, ad, etc.….
Properties of Real Number
5. Identity Property
• Additive Identity
The number 0 is called the additive identity
since when it is added to any real number, it
preserves the identity of that number. Zero is the
only additive identity.
• For example: 6 + 0 = 6

• Multiplicative Identity
The number 1 is called the multiplicative
identity since when 1 is multiplied by any real
number, it preserves the identity of that number.
One is the only multiplicative identity.
• For example: 6 ⋅ 1 = 6.
Properties of Real Number
6. Inverse Property

• Additive Inverses
When two numbers are added
together and the result is the additive
identity, 0, the numbers are called additive
inverses of each other.
• Multiplicative Inverses
When two numbers are multiplied
together and the result is the multiplicative
identity, 1, the numbers are called
multiplicative inverses of each other.
Basic Rules of Algebra

Properties of Equality

1. Reflexive Property : a = a
2. Symmetric Property : If a = b, the b = a
3. Transitive Property: If a = b, and b = c, then a = c
4. Additive Property: If a = b, then a + c = b + c
5. Subtractive property: If a = b, then a - c = b – c
6. Multiplication property: If a = b, then ac = bc
7. Division Property: If a = b, then a/c = b/c
RULES ON
EXPONENTS
Product Rule
• When you multiply two powers with the same
base, you can add their exponents.

• Example:
a^m * a^n = a^(m + n)
Quotient Rule
• When you divide two powers with the same base,
you can subtract the exponent of the divisor from
the exponent of the dividend.

• Example:
• a^m / a^n = a^(m - n)
Power Rule
• When you raise a power to another power, you can
multiply the exponents.

• Example:
• (a^m)^n = a^(m * n)
Zero Exponent Rule
• Any nonzero number raised to the power of 0 is
equal to 1.

• Example:
• a^0 = 1 (where a ≠ 0)
Negative Exponent Rule
• To change a power with a negative exponent to a
positive exponent, you can take the reciprocal of
the base and change the sign of the exponent.

• Example:
• a^(-n) = 1 / (a^n)
Fractional Exponent Rule
• An exponent in fractional form represents taking a
root of the base. The denominator of the fraction
represents the root, and the numerator represents
the power.

• Example:
• a^(m/n) = nth root of a^m
Product of Powers with the Same
Base
• When you have a product of several powers with
the same base, you can apply the product rule to
each term separately.

• Example:
• a^m * b^m * c^m = (a * b * c)^m
Quotient of Powers with the Same
Base
• When you have a quotient of several powers with
the same base, you can apply the quotient rule to
each term separately.

• Example:
• (a^m) / (b^m) = (a / b)^m
Power of a Product
• When you raise a product to an exponent, you can
distribute the exponent to each factor inside the
parentheses.

• Example:
• (a * b)^m = a^m * b^m
Power of a Quotient
• When you raise a quotient to an exponent, you can
distribute the exponent to both the numerator and
denominator.

• Example:
• (a / b)^m = (a^m) / (b^m)
Negative Exponents in the
Denominator
• When you have a term with a negative exponent in
the denominator, you can move it to the numerator
by changing the sign of the exponent.

• Example:
• 1 / (a^m) = a^(-m)
Exponents and Zero
• Any nonzero number raised to a negative exponent
is equal to the reciprocal of that number raised to
the positive exponent.

• Example:
• a^(-m) = 1 / (a^m) (where a ≠ 0)
RADICAL NUMBERS
Square Root (√)
• The square root of a number x, denoted as √x, is a
number that, when squared (multiplied by itself),
results in x. In other words, if y = √x, then y * y = x.

• Example:
• √9 = 3
Cube Root (∛)
• The cube root of a number x, denoted as ∛x or
x^(1/3), is a number that, when cubed (raised to
the power of 3), results in x. In other words, if y =
∛x, then y * y * y = x.

• Example:
• ∛8 = 2
𝑛
nth Root ( )
• The nth root of a number x, denoted as 𝑛 𝑥 or
x^(1/n), is a number that, when raised to the
power of n, results in x. In other words, if y = 𝑛 𝑥,
then y^n = x.

• Example:
4
• 16 = 2
