14 n
Objective
SWBAT evaluate algebraic expressions
and use exponents
Section 1.1 “Evaluate Expressions”
VARIABLE
a letter used to represent
one or more numbers.
To EVALUATE AN
ALGEBRAIC EXPRESSIONsubstitute a number for each
variable, perform the operations
and simplify, if necessary.
13 n = 13 3
= 39
Substitute 3 for n.
Multiply.
Evaluate the expression when n = 3.
a.
b.
9
n
= 9
3
Substitute 3 for n.
= 3
Divide.
n–1 = 3–1
= 2
Substitute 3 for n.
Subtract.
Evaluate the expression when y = 2.
c. 6 y
= 6 2
= 12
Substitute 2 for y.
Multiply.
d. y + 4
= 2+4
= 6
Substitute 2 for y..
Add.
