                                            KNOWING ALGEBAR FORMS


               1.1 Definition of Algebraic Forms
                   The algebraic form is a mathematical form which in its presentation contains lowercase

                   letters (a, b, c, d, ……….z) to represent the unknown part.


               1.2 Recognizing the Elements of Algebraic Forms

                   Illustration 1
                                                                           Pak  Udin  harvested  corn  from

                                                                       his  garden  with  a  yield  of  4  full

                                                                       baskets  and  the  remaining  3  corn
                                                                       outside  the  basket.  Assuming  the

                                                                       number of corns in each basket is the
                                                                       same, how to determine the number
                                      Figure 1.1 : Corn                of corns in algebraic form?

                       After understanding illustration 1 above, it is known that the corn harvest is 4 full

                       baskets and the remaining 3 corn is outside the basket. Then, what steps do you take to
                       solve the problem?

               Solution:
                                                                                Steps:

                                                                               1.  Make a distinction
                                                                                2.  Change to shape
                                                                                math (Form
                                                                                Algebra)


                   From the solutions that you did, of course you have got the appropriate algebraic form,

                   namely    … +    fill in according to the algebraic form you get)


                   From the illustrations that you have studied above, you will learn about algebraic forms,

                   then let's learn the elements of algebraic forms.
                   The elements of Algebra are:

                     Variables: symbols in algebraic forms expressed in lowercase letters
