Expressions, Equations,
and Functions
Chapter 1
Introductory terms and symbols:
• Algebraic expression
– One or more numbers or
variables along with one
or more arithmetic
operations
– You may evaluate and
simplify expressions, but
you cannot solve
expressions…you solve
equations!
• Variable
– A letter or symbol to
represent an
unknown
• Term
- A term may be a
number, variable, or
product or quotient
of numbers and
variables
Identify the variable and term in each
expression
(What could each represent?)
• .10d
• 2x - 4
• 3 + z/3
• Pq
• 2(x + 5)
• 3x²
• 5x³ + 16
• 16u² - 3u + 4
• ½a - 6b/7
Verbal Translations

algebraic expressions
7 less than the product of 3 and a number
• The product of 7 and a number divided by the
product of 8 and a number
• 5 more than half a number
• The quotient of 3 and the square of a number
• Twice the sum of 15 and a number
Real Life Connection
• Mr. Martinez orders 250 key chains printed
with his athletic teams logo and 500 pencils
printed with their web address. Write an
expression to represent the cost of each order
• Katie bakes 40 pastries and makes coffee for
200 people. Write and expression to
represent the situation
Order of Operations

Evaluate Algebraic Expressions
• 3x^2 + (2y + z^3) if x=4,
y=5, z=3
• A^2(3b + 5) /C IF A=2,
B= 6, C=4
• Real Life Connection
• Find the volume of a 3
foot radius sphere

• Additive Inverse
• Multiplicative
Identity
• Multiplicative
Inverse
• Multiplicative
Property of Zero
These properties say:
• Reflexive
– Any quantity is equal to
itself
– For any number a, a=a
• Symmetric
– If one quantity equals a
second, then the second
equals the first
– For any numbers a and b,
if a=b, then b=a.
• Transitive
– If one quantity equals a
second and the second
equals a third, then the first
equals the third.
– For any numbers a and b,
and c, If a = b, and b=c, then
a=c
• Substitution
– A quantity may be
substituted for its equal
expression
– If a =b, the a may be
replaced with b in any
expressions
More Algebraic Properties
• Additive Identity
– For any number a ,
a+0=0+a=a
Additive Inverse
a + (-a) = 0
Multiplicative Identity
– For any number a,
(a)(1) = 1a = a
• Multiplicative Inverse
(reciprocal)
For every number a/b where a,b = 0,
(a/b)(b/a) = 1
Multiplicative Property of
zero
For any number a,
a(0)=0
0(a) = 0
Algebraic Properties You Already
Know
• Distributive Property
– For any numbers a, b, and c,
a(b + c) = ab + ac and (b + c)a = ba + ca
a(b - c) = ab - ac and (b - c)a = ba - ca
• Associative Property
– For any numbers a and b,
a + b = b + a and ab = ba
• Commutative Property
– For any numbers a, b, c,
( a + b ) + c = a + ( b + c ) and (ab)c = a(bc)
These properties
allow algebra to
work!

A Preview to Functions
• A function is a relationship between input and
output values (a relation)
• With a function, there is exactly one output
for each input!
• A function (relation) can be expressed as
ordered pairs
How can you tell if a Relation is a
Function?
• Input - Output
• Vertical line test
Discrete and Continuous Functions
Discrete
Continuous
• Non-continuous data
• Points not connected
• Sometimes points are
connected to show
trends
• Examples:
•
number of items
• Points connected by
curves or lines
• Step functions too!
