Multiplication in algebra

CLASS ASSIGNMENT 1

  • Discover more and more about multiplication in ALGEBRA!

1. Indicate what the following will be equal to...

1.1: 2 x 2 x 2 = ....................... (and what the exponent form will be .....................)

1.2: 2² x 2² x 2 3 x 3² x 3 3 = .........................

(and what the exponent form will be ......................... )

  • :a x a x a = .........................

1.4: a ² x a ² x a 3 = .........................

Now write out a general rule for the multiplication of exponents:

1.5: 2( a - b ) = .........................

distributive law: (2 x a ) - (2 x b )

1.6: 3 0 = .........................

1.7: a ( a + b ) 0 = .........................

Therefore: (anything) to the power of 0 = .........................

1.8: 3 1 = .........................

1.9: 1 200 = .........................

2. What does each of the following mean? Also provide the simplified answer for each one

2.1: a ² =

2.2: 2 a b =

2.3: -3( a + b ) =

2.4: 4( a )² =

2.5: ( a 3 )² =

2.6: (3 a ²) 3 =

2.7: 2 p x 3 p =

2.8: a b² x a ² b 3 x a b 6 =

2.9: ( 1 2 size 12{ { { size 8{1} } over { size 8{2} } } } {} a 3 ) 4 =

2.10: 2( a 3 )² =

2.11: 6(2 a - 3 b ) =

2.12: -7 a ( a ² - 2 b ² ) =

3. Can you recall the order of operations for the following? Write it down.

3.1 Now make use of everything you have learnt up till now to calculate the following:

3.1.1: a x a x aaa + a 4

3.1.2: 2( a + b ) - 3( a - b )

3.1.3: 3 a x 2 a ² b + 5 a ² x (-3 a b )

3.1.4: -5 a ( a - b 3 ) + 7 a b 3 - 2 a 5

3.1.5: -3( a ² b 4 )² - 5 a 3 (-2 a 4 b ²) 3

4. What is the meaning of the word substitution?

Provide an example as explanation:

5. Supposing that a = 5 ; b = -1 and c = 3 , calculate the value of each of the following:

5.1: 5 a ² - 3 b

5.2: 2 ab 2 3a size 12{ { {2 bold "ab" rSup { size 8{2} } } over {3a} } } {}

5.3: a + a b size 12{ { {a" "+" "b²} over {a` - `b} } } {}

5.4: (2 a b ² c

5.5: -3 a b 3 - 2 a b 3 c

1.9: (5 a b ²) 4 - (- 6 b 6 a 4 )

1.10: -6 a ² b ( 2 a ² - 3 a b 3 + 5)

2. Supposing that x size 12{x} {} = -2 and y = -1 , determine the value of ...

2.1: (2 y )(2 x size 12{x} {}

2.2: -3 x size 12{x} {} 3 - 2 y 5

2.3: (2 y + 2 x size 12{x} {}

3. Supposing m = 2 ; n = -3 en q = 5, determine the value of each of the following expressions:

3.1: m + n + q

3.4: m / 3 + n / 4 - q

3.5: 3m( n + q ) - 2( m + n ²)

4. A challenge: See if the knowledge that you have acquired is able to help you solve the problems that follow.

4.1 The average speed of an Intercape Mainliner is 5 a 4 kilometres per hour.What is the distance that the bus can complete in (5 a 3 + 5 a - 6) hours?

4.2 Miss South Africa buys ( a - b + 2 c ) litres of milk at 4 ab rands per litre and 5 ab litres of fruit juice at (2 a + 5 b - 3 c ) rands per litre.

What will these purchases cost in total?

what are pathogens
Don Reply
In biology, a pathogen (Greek: πάθος pathos "suffering", "passion" and -γενής -genēs "producer of") in the oldest and broadest sense, is anything that can produce disease. A pathogen may also be referred to as an infectious agent, or simply a germ. The term pathogen came into use in the 1880s.[1][2
