Grouping Symbols
Constant and Variables in algebra can be grouped together when a common factor is taken out of them. The grouping symbols in algebra is tabulated below:
SYMBOL | NAME | MEANING/ DEFINITION | EXAMPLE |
|---|---|---|---|
[ ] | Square Brackets | Square brackets, meant by the symbols “[ ]”, fill different needs in various contexts, including arithmetic, programming, semantics, and writing conventions | x has a place with the closed interval from 3 to 7, including the both endpoints. This is indicated x as ∈ [3,7]. |
{ } | Curly Brackets or Set Symbol | Used to group components. | 5 × { 4 + 5 } Here, the curly brackets indicates that the addition operation inside should be perform before multiply with 5 If set A is a set of first 3 natural numbers then A = {1, 2, 3 } |
( ) | Parentheses | Indicate the request for tasks | (4 + 4) × 3 Here, Parentheses indicates that addition operation should be perform before multiplying. |
Algebra Symbols
Algebra Symbols are specific characters that are used to represent particular operations in Algebra. The branch of Algebra deals with the relation between variables and constants. There are different branches of Algebra such as linear algebra, vector algebra, and Boolean algebra for which we have different algebra symbols.
In this article, we will learn how to represent variables and constants in algebra and also different symbols
