  • 1. Multiply any constants together
  • In algebra, variables are symbols used to represent unknown or changing quantities in mathematical expressions or equations.
  • To multiply algebraic expressions, we follow these steps:
  • The product rule is used to find the product of two or more expressions.
  • 2. Simplify the expression inside the brackets or parentheses.
  • 4. Combine like terms (terms with same variables raised to the same power).
  • The degree of the entire polynomial is the largest degree among all terms.
  • The degree of the term is equal to its highest power.
  • Commonly used variables include x, y, and z, but any symbol can be used as a variable in algebra.
  • The degree of the term is equal to its highest power.
  • Variables can take on different values, and their values can be manipulated and solved for in algebraic equations.
  • Algebraic expressions are written using symbols instead of numbers and words.
  • An algebraic expression is made up of constants, variables, and operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, division, exponentiation, and root extraction.
  • A constant is a number that does not change or vary in an expression.
