Well, according to what I learned when I was in Algebra I, you should never have to use a semicolon.
yes.Yup. Scientists use algebra all the time, no question. Even biologists.

You use variables to stand for numbers in algebra
They use algebra because they eat pineapple pie.
You could use algebra in real life in nearly anything that you do. You could use algebra to calculate how much gas you will put in your car and how much it will cost you.
I can give you several sentences.You use a semicolon to separate two clauses.A semicolon is like a comma with a period on top of it.You need to learn how to use the semicolon properly.
NO
A gerund is a verb with the -ing suffix, often turning it from a verb into the subject of a sentence. It is grammatically correct to use one after a semicolon as long as the clause after the semicolon is still independent, that is, it can still stand alone as a separate sentence.
We use algebra to predict things.

I wouldn't use a semicolon in a conditional (if) sentence. Semicolons can join two independent clauses without a conjunction. The "if" clause in a conditional sentence is dependent, not independent.
Example-They use they following things:pens, pencils, and markers
To replace conjunctions and, or, but and to connect the main clauses in a compound sentence
You should not use a semicolon to separate two independent clauses that are not closely related in meaning. Additionally, it is incorrect to use a semicolon before conjunctions like "and," "but," or "or" when they connect independent clauses. Semicolons should also be avoided when connecting dependent clauses or items in a list that already contain commas.

No, the word "and" should not follow a semicolon. Semicolons are used to separate independent clauses; if you want to include "and," it would typically be used within one of the independent clauses separated by the semicolon.
Yes, that is one of the most common uses of a semicolon. If there is a conjunction joining the clauses, however, you should use a comma instead of a semicolon.
