Welcome to the Notes for Unit 4: Algebraic Expressions and Algebraic Formulas! In this unit, we will explore the exciting world of algebraic expressions, formulas, surds, rationalization, and more.
We will begin with Section 4.1, where we dive into the topic of Algebraic Expressions. Here, you will learn how to identify and examine different types of algebraic expressions, including polynomials and rational expressions. We will understand how rational expressions behave like rational numbers and delve into the concept of rational expression as the quotient of two polynomials, ensuring the denominator is not the zero polynomial.
In Section 4.2, we will focus on Algebraic Formulas. You will be introduced to various algebraic formulas, which are powerful tools to simplify mathematical expressions and solve problems efficiently. We will cover essential formulas like (a + b)^2, (a – b)^2, a^2 + b^2, and ab when the values of a + b and a – b are known. By the end of this section, you will be adept at applying these formulas to find the value of various algebraic expressions.

Moving on to Section 4.3, we will explore Surds and their Application. Surds are expressions containing roots, and understanding their properties is essential in algebraic manipulation. You will learn how to work with surds and apply them in real-world problem-solving scenarios.
In Section 4.4, we will tackle Rationalization, a technique used to eliminate surds from the denominators of algebraic expressions. You will learn how to rationalize expressions by multiplying and dividing to make the denominator a rational number.
Throughout this unit, you will master the art of simplifying and manipulating algebraic expressions and learn to recognize them in various forms. Additionally, you will gain the skills to find the lowest terms of rational expressions, perform arithmetic operations with them, and evaluate algebraic expressions for specific real numbers.
By the end of this unit, you will have a solid foundation in working with algebraic expressions, formulas, and surds, which are fundamental skills in higher mathematics and various other disciplines. Are you ready to embark on this exciting journey of algebraic exploration? Let’s get started.
