1. [tex]a^4[/tex] : some number to the power of four.
2. z ÷ 4 : quotient of a variable and four.
3. y – 4 : four less than an unknown value.
4. 4x : four times an unknown value.
5. b + 4 : four more than some number.
Solution:
To match the verbal expression with the algebraic expression.
1. [tex]a^4[/tex]
Here a is some number and it have power 4.
So, the algebraic expression is some number to the power of four.
2. z ÷ 4
Here z is a variable.
If divide z, we obtain a quotient.
So, the algebraic expression is quotient of a variable and four.
3. y – 4
Here y is an unknown value and – symbol indicates less.
So, the algebraic expression is four less than an unknown value.
4. 4x
4x = 4 × x
This means 4 times x and x is an unknown value.
So, the algebraic expression is four times an unknown value.
5. b + 4
Here b is some number and + symbol indicates more.
So, the algebraic expression is four more than some number.
