Equations and Inequations

Equations and inequalities describe the relationship between two mathematical expressions.

Linear Functions

A linear function can just be a constant, or it can be the constant multiplied with the variable like x or y. If the variables are of the form, x2, x1/2 or y2 it is not linear. The exponent over the variables should always be 1.

Find the value of the real number a if -1 – 2i is a root of the equation z² + az +5 =0. What is the other root of this equation?

Subtract 1.2a“ – 0.7a from the sum of 0.6 a4 + 1.5a and 0.4 a4 - 1.1a First, we will translate the words of the problem into mathematical symbols. Then we will perform the indicated operations. The words of the problem contain the key phrases subtract from and sum. Since 1.2a4 – 0.7a is to be subtracted from the sum, the order must be reversed when we translate to mathematical symbols. Subtract 1.2a4 0.7a from the sum of 0.6a + 1.5a and 0.4a4 1.1a. [(0.6 a4 + 1.5a) + (0.4 at – 1.1a) ] - (1.2a* – 0.7a) Use brackets [ ] to enclose the sum. Next, we remove the grouping symbols to obtain 0.6 a4 + 1.5a + 0.4 at – 1.1a -1.2a4 + 0.7a Change the sign of each term within (1.2a4 - 0.7a) and drop the parentheses. at+ a Combine like terms. %D Subtract -0.6q? – 0.6q from the sum of 0.1q? - 0.6q and 0.3q² + 0.1q.
