 Basic Terms in Algebra

Do you know that mathematical concepts, rules, and properties of

numbers will not be easy to understand without the knowledge of the basic
terms in Algebra? The reason why algebra makes use of these terms is that
verbal phrases or sentences can be translated into mathematical phrases or
sentences, and vice versa. These are also fundamentals in forming
generalizations needed to solve certain problems.

Now, let’s have a short review to prepare

you for our new lesson.

What’s In

Remember that in the previous module, you have learned about

solving word problems involving conversions of units of measurements. Let us
have an activity before we proceed.

Lesson Constants, Variables and Algebraic

1 Expressions

Algebra has its own language of symbols. Like any other language, first,
you have to learn the basic vocabulary and correct ways to structure
sentences, or, in this case, equations, before it will all start making sense.
Once you do understand it, you will find that this is a useful language to know.
Once we are familiar with expressions, equations, and formulas, we
can arrange them into different forms and evaluate them to calculate things.
We don’t just rearrange them to improve our equations but there’s actually a
reason for it. The skills of rearranging and evaluating expressions will be
called upon in almost every Math class you ever take, and therefore, it would
necessary for you to master it.

Now, let’s go treasure hunting and find the language of Algebra.

Let’s begin…

Once upon a time, a pirate realized that he has too much

treasure and decided to give some away. You will be given one
chest. However, the treasure chests he gave were locked.
The pirate was obsessed with Algebra, so he put special
lock which could only be opened with special passwords.
The pirate has provided you with a puzzle. You have to
look for the words listed in the puzzle. Once you will find the
words, present it to the pirate and you can immediately receive
your treasure!

Let us define each word to help you understand better.

What Is It

The branch of Mathematics that involves expressions with variables is

called Algebra. The result of combining numbers and variables with ordinary
operations of arithmetic is called an algebraic expression or simply an
expression.
The following are important terms to remember.
The Language in Algebra
Terms Definition
Algebraic is a group of terms separated by the plus ( + ) or
Expression minus ( - ) sign.
Constant is a term or number with exact values.
Variable is any letter in the alphabet representing an unknown
value, sometimes called a literal coefficient.
Exponent tells how many times the base is used as a factor.
Term is a constant or a variable or constants and variables
multiplied together. The number part of each term is
called the numerical coefficient while the variable
or variables is/are called the literal coefficient/s. For
the term 2yz, the numerical coefficient is 2 and the
literal coefficients are yz.

Now, let’s have another activity.

Activity 3: Fill My Emptiness!
Let’s Find Out: What are the missing terms?
Let’s Use These Materials: Math Notebook and ballpen
Let’s Do It This Way: Below are arithmetic statements with missing terms.
Find the missing terms to complete it. Write the answer in your Mathematics
notebook. Number 1 is done for you.

1. 5 + 0 = 5 4. 1 + = 5

2. + 1 = 5 5. + 6 = 5

3. + 3 = 5

The expressions have missing terms. These terms are represented by

a blank______, a circle , a rectangle , or simply x and y.
For example

+ =5
x + y = 5
In the last expression, x and y may take values from the set of integers
that make the statement true.
There is an infinite number of values that can take the places of x and y.
These letters are called variables and the number 5, which remains
unchanged, is called constant.
Consider the expression
a 悔
The numbers 4, 3 and 2 are constants.
The letters x and y are variables. These variables may represent
elements of the set of real numbers.
The term a means 4 times x and times x. It can also be written as
a , a , or a 悔 The dots and parentheses ( ) separate
constants and variables and also serve as multiplication signs.
a
The expression can be written as 悔

base exponent

8
 Similarly, can be written as . The variables x is the base and the
number 3 is the exponent. The exponent tells how many times the base is used as
a factor.

An exponent of 1 can be omitted in a term such as in b m i s which

mean b b m i s b respectively.
a
The terms a b b m are called powers.

Examples

Expressions It can be read as follows:

a Four to the second power or four squared
Two to the third power or 2 cubed
a X to the fourth power or x to the fourth

What’s More

Remember that a term is a constant or a variable or constants and

variables multiplied together. Now, let’s have an activity. All you have to do is
just count the number of terms in each expression.
Activity 4: Count me!

Congratulations! Let us now define and discuss how to classify algebraic

expressions.

What Is It

There are special kinds of algebraic expressions called Polynomials. A

Polynomial is an algebraic expression where each term is a constant, a
variable or a product of a constant and variable. The variable has a whole
number (non-negative number) exponent. A polynomial also can be a
monomial, binomial, trinomial or a multinomial.

Remember:

An algebraic expression is NOT a polynomial if

1. the exponent of the variable is NOT a whole number
{0, 1, 2, 3..}.
2. the variable is inside the radical sign.
3. the variable is in the denominator.

Examples:

Polynomials It satisfies the conditions.

i The exponent is negative.
There is a variable in the
Not Polynomials denominator.

The variable is inside the

radical sign.

12
 Now, we will classify an algebraic expression according to the number
of its terms.

Examples:

Expressions 1st term 2nd term 3rd Reasons

term

Monomial

i ჺ叀ඟ i ჺ叀ඟ These are called

monomials because
there is only one term in
each of the algebraic
expressions.
Binomial

i a a i a a These are called

binomials because the
a a algebraic expressions
are made up of two
terms.
Trinomial

i 叀 i 叀ඟ i叀 i 叀ඟ ඟ These are called

ඟ trinomials because the
algebraic expressions
i i contain three terms.

Algebraic expressions composed of two or more terms are called

multinomials.

SUMMARY
Kinds of Polynomial according to the number of terms
Monomial polynomial with only one term
Binomial polynomial with two terms
Trinomial polynomial with three terms
Multinomial polynomial with four or more terms

13
Degree of Polynomials

If the polynomial is in standard form, the first term is called the

Leading Term. The numerical coefficient of the leading term is called the Leading

Coefficient.

The degree of a polynomial in a single variable is the highest exponent of

the variable among the terms. For polynomials with more than one variable, the
degree of the polynomials is the highest sum of the exponents of the variables
among the terms.

Examples

1. a i a

The degree of the term is 2.

The degree of term is 1.

The degree of the term is 0.

Since the highest exponent of the polynomial i is 2, the

degree of the polynomial is 2. You can also say that it is a second
degree trinomial.
2. 11d
The variable d has exponent 1. Thus, the degree of the polynomial 11d
is 1. You can also say that it is a first-degree monomial.
3. –pqr
Each variable has an exponent of ip q r and the sum of their
exponents is 3. Therefore, the degree of the polynomial is 3. You can
also say that it is a third-degree monomial.
4. i i
The sum of the exponents of each term is 4. Therefore, the degree of
the polynomial is 4. You can also say that it is a fourth-degree
polynomial.
5. i ‫ܝ‬ ൅ i ‫ܝ‬ჺ ‫ܝ‬ ჺ

14
 The highest sum of the exponents among the terms is 9. Therefore, the
degree of the polynomial is 9. You can also say that it is a ninth-degree
polynomial.

Kinds of Polynomial according to its degree

Constant a polynomial of degree zero 3

Linear a polynomial of degree one

Quadratic a polynomial of degree two i

Cubic a polynomial of degree three ia

Quartic a polynomial of degree four a

i

Quintic a polynomial of degree five ia a

i a

Consider the trinomial s i . The three terms of the trinomial are

8x, -y and 32. In 8x, 8 is the numerical coefficient of x, and x is the literal
coefficient of 8. In the term –y the numerical coefficient is -1.A numerical
coefficient of 1 can be omitted in a term since the term –y means -1y.

Terms with the same literal coefficients of the same degree are called
similar terms, while the terms that have different literal coefficients and
degree are called dissimilar terms.

Note:

In determining similar and dissimilar terms, the numerical coefficient does not
matter.

Examples:

Similar Terms 2ab, 6ab, and –ab

Dissimilar Terms 2a, 3ab and -5b

Remember

In writing polynomial, the easiest way is to write the terms in

decreasing order of degrees. We
15 then say that the polynomial is
written in descending order. When a polynomial is written with
descending order of exponents. The coefficient of the first term is
