Algebraic expressions (revision)
Algebraic expressions can be used to represent mathematical relationships or to write computer programs. In these expressions, numbers and letters are connected by operators and parentheses. The letters, also known as variables, can be replaced by numbers that are elements of the given universal set.
Example 1
A family of four goes on a holiday and buys \latex{ seven- }\latex{ day } travel insurance from the True Travell insurance company. The insurance costs €\latex{ 2 } \latex{ per } \latex{ person } \latex{ per } \latex{ day. } 
a) How much does the travel insurance cost for the whole family?
b) Pete compares the offers of different insurance companies. He fills a table with the collected data and writes an algebraic expression that a program can use to calculate the insurance costs. Write down this algebraic expression if the holiday lasts for \latex{ n } \latex{ days } and the insurance costs \latex{ b } \latex{ euros } \latex{ per } \latex{ person } \latex{ per } \latex{ day. } 
c) True Travel offers a \latex{ 15 }% family discount. Calculate the reduced price and express it using an algebraic expression. 
d) Joyful Journey offers \latex{ seven- }\latex{ day } travel insurance at €\latex{ 1.8 } \latex{ per } \latex{ person } \latex{ per } \latex{ day. } If the company also offers a \latex{ 15 }% family discount, how much should a family of four pay for a \latex{ one- }\latex{ week } holiday?
The algebraic expression \latex{ 4 \times n \times b } is formed by a single term because the last operation to be performed is multiplication. In the algebraic expression \latex{ 4 \times n \times b }, the coefficient of \latex{ n \times b } is \latex{ 4 }.
Solution
a) The cost of the insurance in \latex{ euros } \latex{ per } \latex{ person } \latex{ per } \latex{ day } is \latex{ 2 };                     
                                                   \latex{ per } \latex{ person } \latex{ per } \latex{ seven } \latex{ days } is \latex{7\times2};
                                 per four people \latex{ per } \latex{ seven } \latex{ days } is \latex{4 \times7\times2=56}.

Answer: The travel insurance costs \latex{ 56 } \latex{ euros } for a family of four for seven \latex{ days. }

 

b) The cost of the insurance in \latex{ euros } \latex{ per } \latex{ person } \latex{ per } \latex{ day } is \latex{ b };                      

                                       \latex{ per } \latex{ person } \latex{ per } \latex{ n } \latex{ days } is  \latex{n\times b=nb};
                       per four people \latex{ per } \latex{ n } \latex{ days } is \latex{4 \times n \times b=4nb}.
Answer: The cost of the insurance for a family of four can be calculated using the algebraic expressions \latex{ 4nb }.
 
c) Calculate the cost of the insurance and represent it with an algebraic expression. 
The discount
algebraic expression
The cost of the insurance
The remaining amount
\latex{ 4 \times n \times x = 4nb }
calculation
\latex{ 56 }
\latex{ 0.15 \times 56 = 8.4}
\latex{ 56 - 8.4 = 47.6}
\latex{ 4nb - 0.6nb = 3.4nb}
\latex{0.15 \times 4nb = 0.6nb}

Answer: The cost of the insurance with the discount is €\latex{ 47.6 }, which can be represented by the algebraic expression €\latex{ 3.4 nb}.

 

d) The offer from Joyful Journey differs from that of True Travel only in the daily prices; thus, the algebraic expression \latex{ 3.4nb } can be used for the calculation.

In this expression, \latex{ n =7 } and \latex{ b = 1.8 }.

 

                             \latex{3.4 \,nb = 3.4 \times 7 \times 1.8 = 42.84.}

 

Answer: The family should pay \latex{ 42.84 } \latex{ euros } at Joyful Journey.

The algebraic expression \latex{ 4nb - 0.6nb } is formed by a group of terms because the last operation to be performed is subtraction. The terms \latex{ 4nb } and \latex{ 0.6nb } are like terms because they differ only in their numerical coefficients. Therefore, the coefficient of their difference is equal to the difference between their coefficients.
If you replace the letters in the algebraic expression with numerical values from the universal set, you perform substitution. 
Example 2
The prime factorisation of  \latex{ 2009 } is \latex{2009=7^{2}\times 41 }, which can be represented by the algebraic expression \latex{ p^{2} \times q }, where \latex{ p } and \latex{ q } denote different prime numbers. Which is the first \latex{ year } after \latex{ 2009 } that can be represented by the same expression?
\latex{ p^2 = p \times p }
Solution
Write down the prime factorisation of the following \latex{ years. } 
 
\latex{ 2010 = 2\times 3 \times 5 \times 67; }
\latex{ 2011 } is a prime number;
\latex{ 2012 = 2^2 \times 503 }, where \latex{ 503 } is a prime number.
 
The first year after \latex{ 2009 }, which can be represented by the same algebraic expression, is \latex{ 2012 }.
Try to express the current year using a similar algebraic expression. Then, find the nearest year that can be represented by the same expression.

\latex{ 7x }
\latex{ 3xy \times x^2 }
\latex{ \frac{7}{2}a \times(a+b) }
\latex{ 10a^3}
Solution
First, examine which algebraic expressions can be simplified by performing mathematical operations.

a) In the expressions that are formed by a group of terms, the like terms can be combined. 
\latex{ 2x + 5x =7x };

c) Multiplications can be rewritten as powers. 
\latex{ 5a \times a \times 2a =5 \times 2 \times a \times a \times a=10a^3 };

IV. Exponential terms with the same bases can be multiplied.
\latex{ 3xy \times x^2 =3x \times x^2 \times y =3x^3 \times y };

In algebraic expression e) and III. the multiplication can be converted into an addition.
\latex{ \frac{7}{2}a \times (a+b) =3.5a\times(a + b) =3.5a\times a + 3.5a\times b = 3.5a^2 + 3.5ab };
\latex{ 2x(x \times x+ 2x) =2x(x^2 + 2x) =2x \times x^2+ 2x \times 2x =2x^3 + 4x^2 }.
 
Thus, the equivalent algebraic expressions are the following:

\latex{ a \times a \times a = a^3 }

 

\latex{ x \times x^2 = x^1 \times x^2 = x^3 }

 

When multiplying a number by a sum, you can multiply each addend of the sum by that number, then add their products together.

\latex{ \frac{7}{2}a \times(a+b) }

Example 4
Perform the following divisions.
a) \latex{ \frac{10a \times 14a}{2} }
b) \latex{ \frac{9a \times 6b}{3} }
c) \latex{ \frac{10a + 14a}{2} }
d) \latex{ \frac{9a + 6b}{3} }
Solution 
a) \latex{ \frac{\overset5{\bcancel{10}} a \times 14a}{\underset1{\bcancel2}} =70a^2}
or
\latex{ \frac{10a × \overset{7}{\bcancel{14}} a}{\underset1{\bcancel2}} =70a^2}
d) \latex{ \frac{\overset{3}{\bcancel{9}} a \times 6b}{\underset{1}{\bcancel{3}} }=18ab }
or
\latex{ \frac{9a × \overset{2}{\bcancel{6}} b}{\underset{1}{\bcancel{3}} }=18ab }
When dividing a product by a number, you can divide one of the factors by that number and then multiply the quotient by the other factor.
c) In the numerator of the fraction, the terms can be combined:
 
\latex{ \frac{10a + 14a}{2} = \frac{24a}{2} = 12a}
 
d) Each term of the addition is divided by the denominator, and then the quotients are added together:
 
\latex{ \frac{9a + 6b}{3} = \frac{9}{3}a + \frac{6}{3} b = 3a +2b}
Example 5
Simplify the following algebraic expressions.
a)\latex{3 \times (2x - 1) + (3 - x) \times 5}
b)\latex{y \times (y + 1) - y \times (y - 1)}
c) \latex{ \frac{x}{3} + \frac{x}{4}-\frac{x}{5} }
d) \latex{ \frac{x}{2} + \frac{x-1}{3} }
e) \latex{ \frac{5a-b}{6} + \frac{a-2b}{3} }
Solution
a) Convert the multiplication into an addition, then combine the like terms.
\latex{ 3 \times (2x - 1) + (3 - x) \times 5 = 3 \times 2x - 3 \times 1 + 3 \times 5 - x \times 5 =} \latex{= 6x - 3 + 15 - 5x = 6x - 5x - 3 + 15 = x + 12. }
 
b)  \latex{ y \times (y + 1) - y \times (y - 1) = y \times y + y \times 1 - y \times y + y \times 1 =}
      \latex{= y^2 + y - y^2 + y = y^2 - y^2 + y + y = 2y. }
 
c) Expand the fractions to the common denominator.
\latex{ \frac{x}{3} + \frac{x}{4}-\frac{x}{5} = \frac{20x}{60} + \frac{15x}{60}-\frac{12x}{60} = \frac{20x+15x-12x}{60} = \frac{23x}{60}}.

d) Expand the fractions to the common denominator.
\latex{ \frac{x}{2}+\frac{x-1}{3}=\frac{3x+2\times (x-1)}{6}=\frac{3x+2x-2}{6}=\frac{5x-2}{6}. }
When expanding the fraction to the common denominator, the addition in the numerator should be put into parentheses.
 
e) Expand the fractions to the common denominator, then combine the like terms.
\latex{ \frac{5a-b}{6} - \frac{a-2b}{3} = \frac{5a-b}{6} - \frac{2\times(a-2b)}{2\times3} = \frac{5a-b-2\times(a-2b)}{6} =}
\latex{= \frac{5a-b-2a+4b}{6} = \frac{3a+3b}{6} = \frac{\overset{{1}}{\bcancel3} \times (a+b)}{\underset{2}{\bcancel{6}} } = \frac{a+b}{2} }

The sign of a product is determined by the signs of its factors.
