384-735: A conic. The use of equations allows one to call on a large area of mathematics to solve geometric questions. The Cartesian coordinate system transforms a geometric problem into an analysis problem, once the figures are transformed into equations; thus the name analytic geometry . This point of view, outlined by Descartes , enriches and modifies the type of geometry conceived of by the ancient Greek mathematicians. Currently, analytic geometry designates an active branch of mathematics. Although it still uses equations to characterize figures, it also uses other sophisticated techniques such as functional analysis and linear algebra . In Cartesian geometry , equations are used to describe geometric figures . As

432-407: A linear system is an assignment of numbers to the variables such that all the equations are simultaneously satisfied. A solution to the system above is given by since it makes all three equations valid. The word " system " indicates that the equations are to be considered collectively, rather than individually. In mathematics, the theory of linear systems is a fundamental part of linear algebra ,

1056-426: Is univariate if it involves only one variable . On the other hand, a polynomial equation may involve several variables, in which case it is called multivariate (multiple variables, x, y, z, etc.). For example, is a univariate algebraic (polynomial) equation with integer coefficients and is a multivariate polynomial equation over the rational numbers. Some polynomial equations with rational coefficients have

1104-478: Is a polynomial equation (commonly called also an algebraic equation ) in which the two sides are polynomials . The sides of a polynomial equation contain one or more terms . For example, the equation has left-hand side A x 2 + B x + C − y {\displaystyle Ax^{2}+Bx+C-y} , which has four terms, and right-hand side 0 {\displaystyle 0} , consisting of just one term. The names of

1152-414: Is analogous to a weighing scale , balance, or seesaw . Each side of the equation corresponds to one side of the balance. Different quantities can be placed on each side: if the weights on the two sides are equal, the scale balances, and in analogy, the equality that represents the balance is also balanced (if not, then the lack of balance corresponds to an inequality represented by an inequation ).

The variables for which the equation has to be solved are also called unknowns , and the values of the unknowns that satisfy the equality are called solutions of

1296-467: Is limited to between 0 and 45 degrees, one may use the above identity for the product to give: yielding the following solution for θ: Since the sine function is a periodic function , there are infinitely many solutions if there are no restrictions on θ . In this example, restricting θ to be between 0 and 45 degrees would restrict the solution to only one number. Algebra studies two main families of equations: polynomial equations and, among them,

1536-417: The variables suggest that x and y are unknowns, and that A , B , and C are parameters , but this is normally fixed by the context (in some contexts, y may be a parameter, or A , B , and C may be ordinary variables). An equation is analogous to a scale into which weights are placed. When equal weights of something (e.g., grain) are placed into the two pans, the two weights cause

1584-484: The Cartesian coordinate system, geometric shapes (such as curves ) can be described by Cartesian equations: algebraic equations involving the coordinates of the points lying on the shape. For example, a circle of radius 2 in a plane, centered on a particular point called the origin, may be described as the set of all points whose coordinates x and y satisfy the equation x + y = 4 . A parametric equation for

1632-526: The coefficients and solutions are integers . The techniques used are different and come from number theory . These equations are difficult in general; one often searches just to find the existence or absence of a solution, and, if they exist, to count the number of solutions. In general, an algebraic equation or polynomial equation is an equation of the form where P and Q are polynomials with coefficients in some field (e.g., rational numbers , real numbers , complex numbers ). An algebraic equation

1680-416: The equation with R unspecified is the general equation for the circle. Usually, the unknowns are denoted by letters at the end of the alphabet, x , y , z , w , ..., while coefficients (parameters) are denoted by letters at the beginning, a , b , c , d , ... . For example, the general quadratic equation is usually written ax  +  bx  +  c  = 0. The process of finding

1728-427: The equation. There are two kinds of equations: identities and conditional equations. An identity is true for all values of the variables. A conditional equation is only true for particular values of the variables. The " = " symbol, which appears in every equation, was invented in 1557 by Robert Recorde , who considered that nothing could be more equal than parallel straight lines with the same length. An equation

1776-420: The equations that are considered, such as implicit equations or parametric equations , have infinitely many solutions, the objective is now different: instead of giving the solutions explicitly or counting them, which is impossible, one uses equations for studying properties of figures. This is the starting idea of algebraic geometry , an important area of mathematics. One can use the same principle to specify

1824-511: The extraneous solution, x = − 1. {\displaystyle x=-1.} Moreover, if the function is not defined at some values (such as 1/ x , which is not defined for x = 0), solutions existing at those values may be lost. Thus, caution must be exercised when applying such a transformation to an equation. The above transformations are the basis of most elementary methods for equation solving , as well as some less elementary ones, like Gaussian elimination . An equation

1872-403: The illustration, x , y and z are all different quantities (in this case real numbers ) represented as circular weights, and each of x , y , and z has a different weight. Addition corresponds to adding weight, while subtraction corresponds to removing weight from what is already there. When equality holds, the total weight on each side is the same. Equations often contain terms other than

1920-459: The position of any point in three- dimensional space by the use of three Cartesian coordinates, which are the signed distances to three mutually perpendicular planes (or, equivalently, by its perpendicular projection onto three mutually perpendicular lines). The invention of Cartesian coordinates in the 17th century by René Descartes revolutionized mathematics by providing the first systematic link between Euclidean geometry and algebra . Using

1968-454: The scale to be in balance and are said to be equal. If a quantity of grain is removed from one pan of the balance, an equal amount of grain must be removed from the other pan to keep the scale in balance. More generally, an equation remains in balance if the same operation is performed on each side. Two equations or two systems of equations are equivalent , if they have the same set of solutions. The following operations transform an equation or

2016-432: The solution x = 1. {\displaystyle x=1.} Raising both sides to the exponent of 2 (which means applying the function f ( s ) = s 2 {\displaystyle f(s)=s^{2}} to both sides of the equation) changes the equation to x 2 = 1 {\displaystyle x^{2}=1} , which not only has the previous solution but also introduces

2064-416: The solutions, or, in case of parameters, expressing the unknowns in terms of the parameters, is called solving the equation . Such expressions of the solutions in terms of the parameters are also called solutions . A system of equations is a set of simultaneous equations , usually in several unknowns for which the common solutions are sought. Thus, a solution to the system is a set of values for each of

2112-467: The special case of linear equations . When there is only one variable, polynomial equations have the form P ( x ) = 0, where P is a polynomial , and linear equations have the form ax  +  b  = 0, where a and b are parameters . To solve equations from either family, one uses algorithmic or geometric techniques that originate from linear algebra or mathematical analysis . Algebra also studies Diophantine equations where

2160-476: The unknowns, which together form a solution to each equation in the system. For example, the system has the unique solution x  = −1, y  = 1. An identity is an equation that is true for all possible values of the variable(s) it contains. Many identities are known in algebra and calculus. In the process of solving an equation, an identity is often used to simplify an equation, making it more easily solvable. In algebra, an example of an identity

2208-460: The unknowns. These other terms, which are assumed to be known , are usually called constants , coefficients or parameters . An example of an equation involving x and y as unknowns and the parameter R is When R is chosen to have the value of 2 ( R = 2), this equation would be recognized in Cartesian coordinates as the equation for the circle of radius of 2 around the origin. Hence,
