Topic 4 Algebra – Mathematics Form Two
Skills in solving problems systematically, logically, and making connections between variables are essential in daily life. Such skills can be developed and applied by learning algebra.
In this chapter, you will learn about binary operations, quadratic expressions, and solving quadratic equations. The competencies developed will enable you to solve daily life problems such as budgeting, comparing prices, planning for a journey and figuring proportions in cooking.
Also, algebra is useful in other subjects and fields such as science, engineering and technology and many other applications.
A binary operation is a rule for combining two quantities to produce a unique quantity from the same set. It makes use of symbols that represent one or more operations.
The symbols used in binary operations are not standard, this means, they do not represent a specific operation. A symbol
