Here's a clear and organized set of notes on Algebra for beginners to intermediate
level:

📘 Algebra Notes

🔹 1. Basic Terms

 Variable: A symbol (usually a letter like x,y,zx, y, z) that represents a number.

 Constant: A fixed value (e.g., 5,−2,π5, -2, \pi).

 Coefficient: A number multiplied by a variable (e.g., in 3x3x, 3 is the coefficient).

 Expression: A combination of variables, constants, and operations (e.g., 2x+52x + 5).

 Equation: A statement that two expressions are equal (e.g., 2x+3=72x + 3 = 7).

🔹 2. Types of Algebraic Expressions

 Monomial: One term (e.g., 4x4x)

 Binomial: Two terms (e.g., x+5x + 5)

 Trinomial: Three terms (e.g., x2+3x+2x^2 + 3x + 2)

 Polynomial: One or more terms combined (e.g., 2x3−x2+72x^3 - x^2 + 7)

🔹 3. Solving Linear Equations

Example:

2x+3=112x + 3 = 11

Steps:

1. Subtract 3 from both sides: 2x=82x = 8

2. Divide both sides by 2: x=4x = 4

🔹 4. Factoring Techniques

 Common Factor:
6x+3=3(2x+1)6x + 3 = 3(2x + 1)
 Difference of Squares:
a2−b2=(a−b)(a+b)a^2 - b^2 = (a - b)(a + b)

 Trinomials:
x2+5x+6=(x+2)(x+3)x^2 + 5x + 6 = (x + 2)(x + 3)

🔹 5. Quadratic Equations

Standard form:

ax2+bx+c=0ax^2 + bx + c = 0

Solving Methods:

 Factoring

 Quadratic formula:

x=−b±b2−4ac2ax = \frac{-b \pm \sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a}

 Completing the square

🔹 6. Inequalities

Works like equations, but use:

<, >, ≤, ≥<,\ >,\ \leq,\ \geq

Example:

2x−3<7⇒x<52x - 3 < 7 \Rightarrow x < 5

Flip the inequality sign when multiplying or dividing by a negative number!

🔹 7. Exponents Rules

 am⋅an=am+na^m \cdot a^n = a^{m+n}

 aman=am−n\frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n}

 (am)n=amn(a^m)^n = a^{mn}

 a0=1a^0 = 1 (for a≠0a \neq 0)

🔹 8. Functions

A function is a rule that assigns one output for each input.


Example:

f(x)=2x+1⇒f(3)=2(3)+1=7f(x) = 2x + 1 \Rightarrow f(3) = 2(3) + 1 = 7
