    Evaluating Algebraic

    Expressions
    Objectives:

    1. recall the rules in operations on integers, PEMDAS, and


    exponential notation; and
    2. evaluate mathematical expressions for the given values of the
    variables.
    Let’s Review!
    Operations on Integers
    Addition Summary:
    1. Same signs – add their absolute values and keep the same sign.
    Ex.  
    (- 8) + (- 2) = - (8 absolute
    + = the larger
    2. Different signs –  subtract + 2) = value to the
    smaller absolute value and give the answer the same sign as the
    number with the larger absolute value.
    Ex.

    7 + (- 11) = -(11 - 7) =


    Let’s Review!
    Operations on Integers
    Subtraction Summary:
    1. Change the subtraction sign to addition and change the sign of
    the number after the subtraction sign.
    2. Follow rules for addition.
    Ex.
    (-9) - (9) = (-9) + (-9) = -18
    Let’s Review!

    Operations on Integers
    Multiplication and Division Summary:
    1. Same signs – the answer is POSITIVE.
    2. Different signs – the answer is NEGATIVE.

    PEMDAS Rule –  tells the correct sequence of steps for evaluating


    a math expression.

    Parenthesis, Exponent, Multiplication, Division, Addition,


    Subtraction.
    Let’s Review!
    Exponential Notation
    Example: (-2)4
    Base – refers to the number that is being multiplied.
    Exponent – tells you how many times the base is used
    as a factor.

    (-2)4 = (-2)(-2)(-2)(-2) = 16
    Evaluating Algebraic Expressions

     To evaluate an algebraic expression means to replace a variable


    by a particular value and to simplify the expression.
     We evaluate an expression by substituting the value for the
    variable and finding the value of the expression.
    Evaluate
    1. 3x for x = 3 2. 3xy for x = 3 ; y = -2
    3x = 3(3) 3xy = 3(3)(-2)
    =9 = (9)(-2)
    = -18
    3. 3x + y for x = 4 ; y = 5
    3x + y = 3(4) + 5
    = 12 + 5
    = 17
    Evaluate the following if a = 2, b = 3 and c = -2
    1. abc 2. -5b - c
    abc = (2)(3)(-2) -5b – c = -5(3) - (-2)
    = (6)(-2) = -15 – (-2)
    = -12 = -15 + 2
    = -13
    3. a(b + c) 4. =

    a(b + c) = 2 [(3 + (-2) ]


    = (2)(1) =
    =2
    = -6
    Evaluate the following if x = 3, y = -2 and z = 4
    1. xy3 2. 2x2 + 4y
    = (3)(-2)3 = 2(3)2 + 4(-2)
    = (3)(-8) = 2(9) + (-8)
    = -24 = 18 + (-8)
    = 10

    3.

    = = = = = 41
    Generalization

    We evaluate an expression by substituting the value for the


    variable and finding the value of the expression.
