Algebra
Overview
– Algebraic indices
– Expanding and factorising
– Equations
– Formulae
– Linear sequences
– Non-linear sequences
Example Key Words
Expanding Brackets or Multiplying out Brackets
This involves mulitplying each term inside the bracket by the number/letter outside the bracket or inside a second bracket
Factorising
The opposite of multiplying out brackets, involves putting the expression into bracket(s)
Formula
An equation that expresses a mathematical relationship between two or more variables
Term of a Sequence
A number in a sequence
Linear Sequences
The term to term rule is a constant number and the nth term rule just involves “n”
Non-Linear Sequence
Generally a quadratic sequence where you need to find the 2nd difference and the nth term rule will involve “n2”
