GENERAL MATHEMATICS Finding the value of for mont of the students is what Mathematics ital about ‘Sometimes, it teema tobe a joke forthe audenta te evaluate an expression, lke ‘what is shown by the Mustration Pind = Here vist {you want to lear how to find the value of", well then, you ae in the right page. WELCOME to your second module! %) What's tn ‘Before we begin, let go back tothe time when you frat encounter how to evaluate expressions. Do you stil remember? (Given the folowing expressions, find its value ix = 3 Lo 2 3ee7 3. art0 42 6226 5.36 #LWe have learned that, in an algebraic expression, letters can stand for numbers. ‘And to find the value of the expression, there are two things that you have to do, 1. Replace each letter in the expression with the assigned value, Firat, replace each letter in the expression with the value that has been ‘assigned to it. To make your calculations clear and avoid mistakes, always enclose the numbers you're substituting inside parentheses, The value that's given to a variable stays the same throughout the entire problem, even if the letter occurs more than once in the expression. However, since variables “vary”, the value assigned to a particular variable can, change from problem to problem, just not within a single problem. 2.Parform the operations in the expression using the correct order of operations, Once you've substituted the value for the letter, do the operations to find the value of the expression. Don't forget to use the correct order of operations: first do any operations involving exponents, then do multiplication and division, and. finally do addition and subtraction! Ifin the activity above, you do the same process in order to arrive with these answers, then, this module seems to be very easy to you. Solutions: Given the following expressions, find its value if x = 3. L x9 Since x = 3, we just replaced x by 3 in the expression, ‘then eubtract by 9. =x-9 2.3847 23r47 =30)+7 =947 =16 Following the steps, we just replace x by 3, multiply it by the numerical coefficient 3, then add 7 373.x 44r-10 ‘After replacing x by 9, we (gt the aquared of 3 which Th 9, add it tothe product (of 4 and 3, then lati, we ‘subtracted 10 from ite ee e4ra10 =@)' +4g)-10 4 2 6426 . ‘Simply each term inside states ‘the parenthesia in order to =20) ~60)+26. ‘rvive with 18 subtracted =18-18 +26 ‘by 18 plus 26, =26 5.36 23-6 Get the cubed of 3 which is i 27, then maltipy i to 3 to ed get 8 then subtract 6 40-6 =1-6 =15 QZ omaee nee ‘Types of Functions Before you proceed to this module, try to look and analyze some ofthe commen types of functions that you might encounter as you go on with this module. Types of Description cy Function Goastant “constant function ia a Function that has yaT Function ‘the same output value no matier what {your input value is. Because of this, a constant function has the form (3) =b, ‘where bisa constant a single value that docs not change). 38‘entity Function | The identity function is a function which returns the same value, which was used as its argument. In other words, the ‘identity function is the function f(x) =x, for all values of x. ‘A polynomial function is defined by yao’ tulxta'x’ +..¢a'x", where n isa ‘The polynomial fanction with degree one.
