2.3: Expressions and formulae

#2.3A

understand that a letter may represent an unknown number or a variable

#2.3B

use correct notational conventions for algebraic expressions and formulae

#2.3C

substitute positive and negative integers, decimals and fractions for words and letters in expressions and formulae

Evaluate 2x3y2x - 3y when x=4x = 4 and y=5y= -5

#2.3D

use formulae from mathematics and other real-life contexts expressed initially in words or diagrammatic form and convert to letters and symbols

#2.3E

derive a formula or expression

#2.3F

change the subject of a formula where the subject appears once

*Make rr the subject of A=πr2A = \pi r^2

Make tt the subject of v=u+atv = u + at*

#2.3G

understand the process of manipulating formulae or equations to change the subject, to include cases where the subject may appear twice or a power of the subject occurs

*Make rr the subject of  V=43πr3~V = \dfrac{4}{3} \pi r^3

Make aa the subject of  3a+5=4ar~3a + 5 = \dfrac{4-a}{r}

Make ll the subject of  T=2πlg~T = 2\pi\sqrt{\dfrac{l}{g}}*
