The concept of Variables and Constants            The Concept of Formulae




Write a Formula         Subject of a Formula         Find the Value of a Variable



A.     Variables and Constants
       A variable is a quantity whose value is not fixed.
       A constant is a quantity whose value is fixed.

Practice 1
Determine whether each of the following is a variable or constant.
1. The length of the Penang Bridge. (_____________)
2. The mass of new born babies in a hospital. (_____________)
3. The number of sides of a hexagon. (_____________)
4. The monthly consumption of electricity for Ahmad`s family. (_________)


B.     Formulae
       A formula is an equation which shows the relationship between two or
       more variables.
       Example: 1 kg of beef costs RM p and 1 kg of fish costs RM q. Puan
                  Fauziah buys x kg of beef and y kg of fish. The total that
                  She has to pay is RM t.


                  Solution:
                  1 kg of beef = RM p,
                  x kg = x x RMp = RM px
                  1 kg of fish = RM q,
                  y kg = y x RM q = RM qy
                  Therefore, RM t = RM px + RM qy                Ignore the unit
                              t = px + qy


Maths tip:
Use the same unit or measurement throughout the calculation.


Practice 2: Write a formula based on the given statement or situation.



                                         1
1. Hani bought 5 books of RMx each           2. Chef Radi bought 20 kg of flour.
and 3 books of Rmy each. The total           He used x kg to make cake and y kg
cost of the books was RM t.                  to make cookies. The mass of flour
                                             that remains is m kg.



3. The price of a packet of soya bean        4. The perimeter of a rectangular fish
drink is 90 sen and the price of a           pond of length l cm and width w cm is
packet of chicken rice is RM 2.50.           P cm.
Given that RM H represents the total
price for m packets of soya bean
drink and n packets of chicken rice.




C.    Subject Of A Formula

      The subject of a formula is a variable that is expressed in terms of
      other variables in the formula.
      If a variable is the subject of a formula, then the variable can only lie on
      one side (usually left) of an equation and its coefficient must be 1.

      Example 1: Given that 2k 2 = 4m 2 + n 2 , express m in terms of k and n .

      Solution:
      Note:“express m in terms of k and n ” means “express m as the
      subject of the formula”.

      2k 2 = 4m 2 + n 2
      4m 2 + n 2 = 2k 2     Rewrite a = b as b = a
      4m2 = 2k2 – n2      Isolate the term 4m2 from the other terms.
            2k 2 − n 2
      m =
        2
                           Solve for m2 by dividing both sides of the equation by 4.
                 4
             2k − n 2
                2
      m=                   Take square root on both sides of the equation.
                  4
             2k 2 − n 2
       m=                    4=2
                2



                                  3w − r
      Example 2: Given that              = 2 , then w =
                                    5




                                         2
3w − r
         Solution:           =2                     3w − r = 4 × 5 = 20
                        5

                         5 
                             
                     3w − r                               20 + r
                            =4                      w=
                       5                                    3

  • 1. MODULE 15 - ALGEBRAIC FORMULAE ALGEBRAIC FORMULAE The concept of Variables and Constants The Concept of Formulae Write a Formula Subject of a Formula Find the Value of a Variable A. Variables and Constants A variable is a quantity whose value is not fixed. A constant is a quantity whose value is fixed. Practice 1 Determine whether each of the following is a variable or constant. 1. The length of the Penang Bridge. (_____________) 2. The mass of new born babies in a hospital. (_____________) 3. The number of sides of a hexagon. (_____________) 4. The monthly consumption of electricity for Ahmad`s family. (_________) B. Formulae A formula is an equation which shows the relationship between two or more variables. Example: 1 kg of beef costs RM p and 1 kg of fish costs RM q. Puan Fauziah buys x kg of beef and y kg of fish. The total that She has to pay is RM t. Solution: 1 kg of beef = RM p, x kg = x x RMp = RM px 1 kg of fish = RM q, y kg = y x RM q = RM qy Therefore, RM t = RM px + RM qy Ignore the unit t = px + qy Maths tip: Use the same unit or measurement throughout the calculation. Practice 2: Write a formula based on the given statement or situation. 1

The mass of flour that remains is m kg. 3. The price of a packet of soya bean 4. The perimeter of a rectangular fish drink is 90 sen and the price of a pond of length l cm and width w cm is packet of chicken rice is RM 2.50. P cm. Given that RM H represents the total price for m packets of soya bean drink and n packets of chicken rice. C. Subject Of A Formula The subject of a formula is a variable that is expressed in terms of other variables in the formula. If a variable is the subject of a formula, then the variable can only lie on one side (usually left) of an equation and its coefficient must be 1. Example 1: Given that 2k 2 = 4m 2 + n 2 , express m in terms of k and n . Solution: Note:“express m in terms of k and n ” means “express m as the subject of the formula”. 2k 2 = 4m 2 + n 2 4m 2 + n 2 = 2k 2 Rewrite a = b as b = a 4m2 = 2k2 – n2 Isolate the term 4m2 from the other terms. 2k 2 − n 2 m = 2 Solve for m2 by dividing both sides of the equation by 4. 4 2k − n 2 2 m= Take square root on both sides of the equation. 4 2k 2 − n 2 m= 4=2 2 3w − r Example 2: Given that = 2 , then w = 5 2
