Can you write the algebraic expressions for these?
(i) Two added to three times a number.
(ii) Three times the sum of a number and two.
(iii) One added to the square of a number.
(iv) The square of the sum of a number and one.
(v) The sum of the third and fourth powers of a number.
(vi) The sum of the fourth powers of two numbers.
(i) Let the number be x.
Three times the number = 3x
Two added to three times the number = 3x + 2
(ii) Let the number be x.
Sum of the number and two = x + 2
Three times the sum of the number and two = 3(x + 2)
(iii) Let the number be x.
Square of the number = x2
One added to the square of the number = x2 + 1
(iv) Let the number be x.
Sum of the number and one = x + 1
Square of the sum of the number and one = (x + 1)2
(v) Let the number be x.
Third power of the number = x3
Fourth power of the number = x4
Sum of the third and fourth powers of the number = x3 + x4
(vi) Let the first number be x and the second number be y.
Fourth power of the first number = x4
Fourth power of the second number = y4
Sum of the fourth powers of the two numbers = x4 + y4
