Algebraic Formulae
3.1  Algebraic Formulae

 
  Definition  
     
It is written in the form of an equation that combines an algebraic expression using addition, subtraction, multiplication or division.
   
 
Forming formula
 
Example
   
1.  y = 3x − 5
   
6−v
2.  w= ​

v
   
1
3. L= th
2
​

   
4.  A = πr2
   
Changing the subject of the formula
 
Tips
The subject of the formula is represented by a letter.
The subject of the formula should be on the left side of the equation.

Determining the value of the variable

 
Tips
The value of a variable in the subject of the formula can be obtained when the value of other variables is given.

2v
Given Q = , calculate the value of u, where v = 2, Q = 4.
−v + u
​

2(2)
 4 =
−2 + u
​

4(−2 + u) = 4

−8 + 4u = 4

4u = 12

12
u=
4
​

u = 3.

   
Solving problems
 
Tips
It involves changing the subject of a formula, a combination of basic mathematical operations, square and square root.
