What is simplifying the expression?
Algebraic expressions contain alphabetic symbols as well as numbers. When an algebraic expression is simplified, an equivalent expression is found that is simpler than the original. This usually means that the simplified expression is smaller than the original. There is no standard procedure for simplifying all algebraic expressions because there are so many different kinds of expressions, but they can be grouped into three types: (a) those that can be simplified immediately without any preparation. (b) those that require preparation before being simplified. (c) those that cannot be simplified at all. <3 Tiffany ur welcome
How can algebraic expressions be simplified?
In many ways. It really depends on the algebraic expression. If several terms are added/subtracted, you can usually combine similar terms (terms that have the same combination of variables). If variables are multiplied, you can combine the same variable, adding the corresponding exponents. Sometimes expressions get simpler if you factor them; sometimes you have to multiply out (in other words, the opposite of factoring). Quite frequently, you have to use a combination of methods to simplify expressions. Take an algebra book, and look at some of the examples.
How many algebraic terms are there in 5a 2d a 6d?
Just 2. The letters are all known as variables and the numbers are just numbers. Even though there are different numbers and letters, they all represent the same things.
What is the role of zero in mathematics?
Zero plays the role in mathematics as the additive identity of the integers, real numbers, and many other algebraic structures.
How many zeros can you have in an algebraic function?
For an algebraic function in one variable, as many as the highest power of the variable.
