Fundamentals of Equations Algebraic and transcendental equations; If f(x) is a polynomial in x, then f(x) =0 is an algebraic equation. Example; x 7 + 5x - 2=0. If f(x) contains algebraic and non algebraic functions namely exponential, logarithmic, t..

Finding the solution by the method of substitution. Finding the solution by the method of substitution. (i) Coefficients of one of the variables (say x) in the two equations are made equal, by multiplying them with suitable factors. (ii) By addition or subtraction, this variable (x) is elimina..

A Linear equation is a first degree algebraic expression with one,two or more variables equated to a constant. Graphically a linear equation with one or two variables is a straight line whereas one with three variable represents a plane. A simple linear equation is a statement of equ..

A linear equations in two variables x and y is of the form ax + by + c = 0 ( ) where a, b, c are real numbers. To find a solution for this equation, we can assign any value for one of the variables and find the value of the other variable such that the two sides of the equation are equal. Henc..

An equation is an equality connecting some unknowns. The unknowns are represented by "letters" and are called "the variables". If the equation has only one unknown, it is called "an equal in one variable". The word "Linear" means "of degree one". Hence if only a single variable with degree one oc..

ax + b = 0 is a linear equation in one variable . The graph of x = a is a line parallel to y-axis at x=a. The graph of y=b is a line parallel to x-axis at y = ..
