lesson 3: Simpliying Expression S
1
The law of Substitution -
-- if two things are equal, you can
always Substitute one for the other
ex: If

Page 2: Simplifying Operations and Factoring Identities

This page covers advanced operations and crucial algebraic identities.

Definition: Important factoring identities include:

  • a² + b² = a+ba+baba-b
  • a² + 2ab + b² = a+ba+ba+ba+b
  • a² - 2ab + b² = aba-baba-b

Example: When increasing a number by 25% and then decreasing by 50%, the process can be expressed as 0.501.25n1.25n = 0.625n.

Highlight: Complex expressions can often be simplified using these standard factoring patterns.

ex: If

Page 3: Pattern Recognition in Algebraic Expressions

This section focuses on identifying and utilizing patterns in mathematical expressions.

Highlight: Pattern recognition is crucial for efficient problem-solving in algebra.

Example: The pattern x+2x+2² = x² + 4x + 4 can be used for clever substitutions.

Vocabulary: Substitution patterns help transform complex expressions into simpler forms.

The law of Substitution -
-- if two things are equal, you can
always Substitute one for the other
ex: If

Page 4: Conversion Fundamentals

This page introduces the concept of conversion factors and their practical applications.

Definition: A conversion factor is a fraction where the numerator and denominator are equal but expressed in different units.

Example: Converting 10 kilometers to miles using the conversion factor 1mile/1.609kilometers1 mile/1.609 kilometers = 6.215 miles.

Highlight: Units must cancel properly like common factors when using conversion factors.

ex: If

Page 5: Types of Conversions

The final page distinguishes between different types of conversion factors and their applications.

Definition: Universal conversions are standard relationships like1pound=16ounceslike 1 pound = 16 ounces, while problem-specific conversions depend on the context.

Example: In manufacturing calculations, converting between days, production rates, and costs requires problem-specific conversion factors.

Highlight: Understanding whether to use universal or problem-specific conversions is crucial for solving real-world problems accurately.

Page 1: Law of Substitution and Percentage Problems

The first page introduces fundamental concepts in mathematical simplification and percentage calculations.

Definition: The law of substitution states that if two things are equal, you can substitute one for the other in any expression.

Example: When solving equations like 3x-2y=7, if x=3 and y=1 satisfy the equation, these values can be used to evaluate related expressions.

Highlight: For percentage problems, to decrease a number by a%, multiply by 100a100-a%.

Example: In calculating sea urchin population decrease, three consecutive 10% decreases result in multiplying by 0.900.90³, yielding a 27.1% total decrease rather than an intuitive 30%.

The app is very easy to use and well designed. I have found everything I was looking for so far and have been able to learn a lot from the presentations! I will definitely use the app for a class assignment! And of course it also helps a lot as an inspiration.

This app is really great. There are so many study notes and help [...]. My problem subject is French, for example, and the app has so many options for help. Thanks to this app, I have improved my French. I would recommend it to anyone.

Samantha Klich

Wow, I am really amazed. I just tried the app because I've seen it advertised many times and was absolutely stunned. This app is THE HELP you want for school and above all, it offers so many things, such as workouts and fact sheets, which have been VERY helpful to me personally.

I think it’s very much worth it and you’ll end up using it a lot once you get the hang of it and even after looking at others notes you can still ask your Artificial intelligence buddy the question and ask to simplify it if you still don’t get it!!! In the end I think it’s worth it 😊👍 ⚠️Also DID I MENTION ITS FREEE YOU DON’T HAVE TO PAY FOR ANYTHING AND STILL GET YOUR GRADES IN PERFECTLY❗️❗️⚠️

Knowunity is the BEST app I’ve used in a minute. This is not an ai review or anything this is genuinely coming from a 7th grade student (I know 2011 im young) but dude this app is a 10/10 i have maintained a 3.8 gpa and have plenty of time for gaming. I love it and my mom is just happy I got good grades

Not only did it help me find the answer but it also showed me alternative ways to solve it. I was horrible in math and science but now I have an a in both subjects. Thanks for the help🤍🤍

The app's just great! All I have to do is enter the topic in the search bar and I get the response real fast. I don't have to watch 10 YouTube videos to understand something, so I'm saving my time. Highly recommended!

In school I was really bad at maths but thanks to the app, I am doing better now. I am so grateful that you made the app.

I found this app a couple years ago and it has only gotten better since then. I really love it because it can help with written questions and photo questions. Also, it can find study guides that other people have made as well as flashcard sets and practice tests. The free version is also amazing for students who might not be able to afford it. Would 100% recommend

Best app if you're in Highschool or Junior high. I have been using this app for 2 school years and it's the best, it's good if you don't have anyone to help you with school work.😋🩷🎀

This app is phenomenal down to the correct info and the various topics you can study! I greatly recommend it for people who struggle with procrastination and those who need homework help. It has been perfectly accurate for world 1 history as far as I’ve seen! Geometry too!
