Introduction to Algebra

Algebra is a branch of mathematics that uses mathematical statements to describe


relationships between things that vary over time. This document covers the basics
of algebra, including:

1. Variables and Expressions


2. Linear Equations
3. Quadratic Equations
4. Functions and Graphs

Each topic is explained with examples and exercises to enhance understanding.

---

Variables and Expressions:


A variable is a symbol, usually a letter, used to represent a number. An expression
combines variables, numbers, and operations.

Example:
x + 5

---

Linear Equations:
A linear equation is an equation between two variables that gives a straight line
when plotted on a graph.

Example:
y = 2x + 3

---

Quadratic Equations:
Quadratic equations are equations of the second degree, meaning they contain at
least one term that is squared.

Example:
y = x^2 + 3x + 2

---

Functions and Graphs:


Functions describe a relationship between an input and an output. They are often
represented graphically.

Example:
f(x) = x^2
