Chapter 6

Algebraic expressions involve terms (separated by addition and subtraction) and factors (connected by multiplication and division). Part of the challenge of working with algebraic expressions is in using the correct rules: the order of operations, rules of exponents, distributing, and so on. Function notation helps simplify some expressions by providing a rule and inviting evaluation.

In this chapter, you get to put some of those algebraic rules to practice with the following types of problems:

Finding the sums and differences of like terms

Multiplying and dividing terms and performing the operations logically

Applying the order of operations when simplifying expressions

Evaluating algebraic expressions when variables are assigned specific values

Using the factorial operation

Getting acquainted with function notation

Here are a few more things to keep in mind:

Recognizing like terms and the processes involved when combining them

Reducing fractions correctly — dividing by factors of all the terms

Evaluating expressions within grouping symbols before applying the order of operations

Reducing fractions involving factorials correctly

251–258 Simplify by combining like terms.
