Please watch the short video:
Advanced Algebra is a branch of mathematics that delves deeper into algebraic concepts beyond the basics. Here are some key aspects of advanced algebra:
-
Polynomial and Rational Functions: In this topic, you explore polynomial functions (such as quadratic, cubic, and higher-degree polynomials) and rational functions (ratios of polynomials). You’ll learn about their properties, graphs, and behavior.
-
Radical Functions and Equations: This area covers radical expressions (square roots, cube roots, etc.) and equations involving radicals. You’ll study how to simplify, solve, and manipulate these expressions.
-
Exponential and Logarithmic Functions: Advanced algebra introduces exponential functions (like f(x)=ex) and logarithmic functions (such as g(x)=log(x)
). These functions have applications in various fields, including science, finance, and engineering.Systems of Linear Equations: You’ll explore more complex systems of linear equations, including methods like matrix algebra and determinants. -
Conic Sections: This topic deals with conic shapes (such as circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas) and their equations.
-
Sequences and Series: Advanced algebra covers arithmetic and geometric sequences, as well as series (sums of terms in a sequence).
Remember that advanced algebra builds upon the foundation laid by elementary and intermediate algebra. It’s an essential part of mathematics for both pure and applied mathematicians.
