CHAPTER 7ALGEBRAIC FORMULAE
• To determine wether a quantity is a variable or constant, we must find out if its value varies or remains unchanged.
7.1 VARIABLES AND CONSTANTS
EXAMPLEDetermine if the following quantities are variables or constants. (a) The number of days in a week. (b) The number of schooldays in each month.
Solution:
(a) There are 7 days in a week. Therefore, the number of days in a week is a constant.
(b) The number of schooldays differs from month to month. Therefore, the number of schooldays in each month is a variable.
