ENM 503 Block 1 Algebraic SystemsLesson 4 – Algebraic Methods
The Building Blocks - Numbers, Equations, Functions, and other interesting things.
Did you know? Algebra is based on the concept of unknown values called variables, unlike arithmetic which is based entirely on known number values.

The Real Number System natural numbers
N = {1, 2, 3, …} Integers
I = {… -3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, … } Rational Numbers
R = {a/b | a, b I and b 0} Irrational Numbers
{non-terminating, non-repeating decimals} e.g. transcendental numbers – irrational numbers that cannot
be a solution to a polynomial equation having integer coefficients (transcends the algebraic operations of +, -, x, / ).

Algebraic Operations Basic Operations
addition (+) and the inverse operation (-) multiplication (x) and the inverse operation ( )
Commutative Law a + b = b + a a x b = b x a
Associative Law a + (b + c) = (a + b) + c a(bc) = (ab)c
Distributive Law a(b + c) = ab + ac
Law and order will prevail!

Functions
Functions and Domains: A real-valued function f of a real variable is a rule that assigns to each real number x in a specified set of numbers, called the domain of f, a real number f(x).
The variable x is called the independent variable. If y = f(x) we call y the dependent variable.
A function can be specified: numerically: by means of a table or ordered pairs algebraically: by means of a formula graphically: by means of a graph

More on Functions A function f(x) of a variable x is a rule that assigns
to each number x in the function's domain a value (single-valued) or values (multi-valued)

On DomainsSuppose that the function f is specified
algebraically by the formula
with domain (-1, 10]
The domain restriction means that we require -1 < x ≤ 10 in order for f(x) to be defined (the round bracket indicates that -1 is not included in the domain, and the square bracket after the 10 indicates that 10 is included).

Facts on Polynomial Equations
The principle problem when dealing with polynomial equations is to find its roots.
r is a root of f(x) = 0, if and only if f(r) = 0. Every polynomial equation has at least one
root, real or complex (Fundamental theorem of algebra)
A polynomial equation of degree n, has exactly n roots
A polynomial equation has 0 as a root if and only if the constant term a0 = 0.

Inequalities
An inequality is statement that one expression or number is greater than or less than another.
The sense of the inequality is the direction, greater than (>) or less than (<)
The sense of an inequality is not changed: if the same number is added or subtracted from both sides:
if a > b, then a + c > b + c if both sides are multiplied or divided by the same positive
number: if a > b, then ca > cb where c > 0 The sense of the inequality is reversed if both side
sides are multiplied or divided by the same negative number. if a > b, then ca < cb where c < 0

More on inequalities
An absolute inequality is one which is true for all real values: x2 + 1 > 0
A conditional inequality is one which is true for certain values only: x + 2 > 5
Solution of conditional inequalities consists of all values for which the inequality is true.

for x > 3, (x-3) < 5 or x < 8
for x 3, -(x-3) < 5 or –x < 5 - 3 or x > -2
therefore -2 < x < 8

else.

We End with the Devil’s Curve
y4 - x4 + a y2 + b x2 = 0
An implicit relationship thatis not single-valued
This is my curve.
Did you know: There are not very many applications of this curve in the ENM or MSC program.
Quick student exercise: confirm the graph!
