Quick Math Answers for Algebra

Introduction to quick math answers for algebra:

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. The part of algebra called elementary algebra is often part of the curriculum in secondary education and introduces the concept of variables representing numbers. (Source: From Wikipedia). In this article, we are going to see some of the math algebra problems quick help.

Quick Math Algebra Problems:

Example problem 1:

Simplify the expression: 14b + 6 - 21a + 15b + 13 + 15a

Solution:

14b + 6 - 21a + 15b + 13 + 15a

Combine the like terms in the given expression

-21a + 15a + 14b + 15b + 6 + 13

Add the like terms in the expression

(-21 + 15)a + (14 + 15)b + (6 + 13)

-6a + 29b + 19

So, the answer is -6a + 29b + 19.

Example problem 2:

Solve for the value of c: 9c - 2 = 79

Solution:

9c - 2 = 79

Add 2 on both sides of the equation

9c - 2 + 2 = 79 + 2

9c = 81

Divide by 9 on both sides of the equation

`(9c) / 9 = 81 / 9`

c = 9

So, c = 9 is the solution of the given equation.

Few more Math Algebra Problems Quickly:

Example problem 3:

Find the x and y intercept of the equation: 12x + 6y = 48.

Solution:

12x + 6y = 48

To find the x intercept value, plug y = 0 in the given equation

12x + 6(0) = 48

12x = 48

x = 4

So, the x intercept is (4, 0).

To find the y intercept value, plug x = 0 in the given equation

12(0) + 6y = 48

6y = 48

y = 8

So, the y intercept is (0, 8).

Example problem 4:

Solve the inequality: 20y - 43 < 17

Solution:

20y – 43 < 17

Add 43 on both side of the inequality

20y- 43 + 43 < 17 + 43

20y < 60

Divide by 20 on both sides of the equation

`(20y) / 20 < 60 / 20`

y < 3

So, the solution is (-infinity, 3).

Connected Math Variables and Patterns

Introduction about connected math variables and patterns:

Variables are one of the branches in algebra. In math, variables are very necessary concept. It does not change the meaning of expressions. We are mostly use variables to stand for the algebra expression like a,b,c and d. In math, generally variables can be defined using alphabets. Patterns are generally the collection of numbers which are listed in an order under a certain conditions. There are three different types of general patterns like Arithmetic Pattern, Geometric Pattern and Alphabetic Pattern. Here we are going to study about connected math variable and patterns.

Examples of Connected Math Variables:

Example 1:

(6m^2+9) + (-5m^2+7).

Solution:

Step 1: Here we are going to add the two terms

Step 2:  Its also like a normal addition.

Step 3: It can be written as 6m^2-5m^2+9+7.

Step 4: Now we can easily add the terms.

Step 5: Therefore, the answer is m^2+16.

Example 2:

Add (8n3+12) +( -15n3-6)

Solution:

Step 1: Here we are going to add the two binomials.

Step 2:  Its also like a mathematical addition.

Step 3: It can be written as 8n^3-15n^3+12-6.

Step 4: Now we can easily add the terms.

Step 5: Therefore, the answer is 7n^3+6.

These are the examples of connected math variables. Having problem with trig identities solver keep reading my upcoming posts, i will try to help you.

Examples of Patterns:

Example 1:

Compute the missing terms from the pattern given below.

2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, ___, ____

Solution:

Step 1: The first term of the pattern is 2.

Step 2: The second term of the pattern = 2 `xx` 2 = 4.

Step 3: The third term is 4 `xx` 2 = 8.

Step 4: The fourth term is 8 `xx` 2 = 16.

Step 5: Similarly, the missing terms can be determined as follows.

Step 6: The seventh term will be 64 `xx` 2 = 128.

Step 7: The eighth term is 128 `xx` 2 = 256(So, the pattern is we need to multiply 2 with the previous term).

Step 8: Therefore, the pattern is 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128 and 256.

Example 2:

Compute the next two terms in the pattern given below.

1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, ___, ____

Solution:

Step 1:The first term of the pattern is 1

Step 2:The second term of the pattern = 1 + 2 = 3

Step 3:  The third term is 3 + 2 = 5

Step 4: fourth term is 5 + 2 = 7

Step 5: Similarly, the missing terms can be determined as follows.

Step 6: The seventh term will be 11 + 2 = 13

Step 7: The eighth term is 13 + 2 = 15

Step 8: This is an odd sequence of number.

Step 9: So the exact pattern is 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15.

These are the example problems of connected math variables and patterns.

Negative Whole Numbers

Introduction :
Negative numbers are defined as the numbers that less than zero. It is always an opposite of the positive numbers. A negative whole number means negative numbers which consist of all negative integer numbers. We can add, subtract, multiply and divide by using the negative whole numbers. For example 0, 1, 2, 3… and -1, -2-, 3… etc

Examples of Negative Whole Numbers:

Negative whole numbers example 1:

Simplify (-120) + (-250)

Solution:

Given problem is (-120) + (-250)

We can add the given negative whole numbers by using the following methods:

Positive * negative = negative

In the given problem, first term as -120 and then the second term as + (-250) = -250

Negative + negative = negative

Therefore, -120 + -250= -370

So we get the final result as negative number.

Answer: -370

Negative whole numbers example 2:

Simplify (-200) - (-500)

Solution:

Given problem is (-200) - (-500)

We can subtract the negative whole numbers by using the following methods:

Negative * negative =positive

In the given problem, first term as -200 and then the second term as - (-500) = + 500

But here negative + positive = positive. Because of positive number (500) is larger than negative value (200).

That is, -200 + 500= 300

Here we get the final answer is positive. Understanding Is pi a Rational Number? is always challenging for me but thanks to all math help websites to help me out.

Answer: 300

Negative whole numbers example 3:

Simplify (-400) * (-100)

Solution:

Given problem is (-400) * (-100)

We can multiply the negative whole numbers by using the following methods:

Negative * negative = positive

But here we can just multiply the whole numbers. Then we get

-400 * (-100) = 40000

Answer: 40000

Negative whole numbers example 4:

Simplify (-1200) / (-300)

Solution:

Given problem is (-1200) / (-300)

Here we are dividing the above whole numbers.

Negative / negative = positive

Therefore we get the positive answer.

That is, -1200/-300

Here minus sign are canceled on both numerator and denominator.

Then we get,

1200/300

1200 is 4 times of 300

1200/300= 4

Therefore we get the final answer is 4.

Answer= 4

Practice Problems of Negative Whole Numbers:

Trig Word Problems

Introduction to trig word problems:

Greek Mathematician Ptolemy, Father of trigonometry proved the equation sin2A+cos2A=1 using geometry involving a relationship between the chords of a circle. Trigonometry was mainly concerned with establishing the relations between sides and angles of a triangle. The trigonometry consists of angles, quadrants, ratios and Identities, Compound Angles, and trigonometrical Equations. The trigonometry word example problems and practice problems are given below.

Example Problems for Trig Word Problems:

Trig word problems - Example: 1

The top of a tower was seen from the top and the bottom of a building of height 10 m at angles of elevation 45° and 60°. Determine the height of the tower.

Solution:
 

Let AB be the tower CD be the building of height 10 m.

Let DE be perpendicular to AB from D.

At C, the angle of elevation of A is 60°.

That is ?BCA = 60°

At D, the angle of elevation of A is 45°.

That is ?EDA = 45°

BE = CD = 10 m (since BEDC is a rectangle)

Let AE be x in metres, then AB is = x +10 m

In a right angled triangle ABC

tan60° = AB/BC (or) v3 = (x + 10m)/BC

After solve this, we get

ED = BC = (x + 10m)/v3

In a right angled triangle AED

tan45° = AE/ED   (or)

v3 x = x + 10 m

v3 x – x = 10 m

x( v3 –1) = 10 m

After solving this, we get

= 5 (1.732+1)m = 5 (2.732) m = 13.66 m

Height of the tower AB = x + 10 m = 13.66 m + 10 m = 23.66 m

Trig word problems - Example: 2

Determine the length of the chord of a circle of radius 10 cm subtending at the centre the angle of 144°.

Solution:

Let AB be a chord of a circle with centre 0 of radius 10 cm. Draw OC?AB. Then C is the mid point of AB


?AOB = 144°

?COB = 72°

In right angled triangle OCB

OB/BC = sin 72°

BC = 10 sin 72° cm

= 10 × 0.9511 cm

= 9.511 cm

Length of chord AB = 2 × BC

= 2 × 9.511 cm =  19.022cm . Is this topic Translation Math hard for you? Watch out for my coming posts.
