Littlewayne Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 Would anybody mind telling me what these problems are called? I was 10 minutes late to class today and never heard the teacher say what these were called. Example 1: n + 1 - 3 2n + 4 3n Example 2: K + 10 / 1 K^2 + 5K - 36 K - 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Khaleesi Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I don't see a problem ... just single variable equations 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apaec Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 an.... equation? lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mysteryy Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 I don't see a problem ... just single variable equations Thank youuu, I think an.... equation? lol What he provided does not represent an equation. An equation needs to be solvable, i.e. x + 5 = 10 what he provided would simply be an expression, not an equation. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LoudPacks Posted November 10, 2015 Share Posted November 10, 2015 (edited) These are polynomial functions that involve simple algebraic manipulation in order to simplify. They are not equal to a value so you can not solve them, however there are many ways you can simplify them using the rules of algebra. Your teacher and textbook probably refer to this as 'Polynomial Simplification' ALL i can say is..... Stick with this shit until you learn it and really learn it. If you miss concepts or move through it haphazardly, GG. Everything you'll do in higher math classes, as well as advanced sciences, biology, chem, physics, involves knowing how to manipulate numbers and use basic rules of algebra such as the ones being taught in your class now.
