What is Equation?

An equation is a mathematical statement asserting the equality of two expressions. General Form: Expression₁ = Expression₂ Types of Equations: 1. Linear: ax + b = 0 (degree 1) 2. Quadratic: ax² + bx + c = 0 (degree 2) 3. Polynomial: aₙxⁿ + ... + a₁x + a₀ = 0 4. Rational: Involves fractions with variables 5. Radical: Contains variables under roots 6. Exponential: Variable in exponent 7. Logarithmic: Contains logarithms 8. Trigonometric: Involves trig functions Solving Principles: • Use inverse operations to isolate variable • Maintain equality (do same to both sides) • Check solutions in original equation • Identify extraneous solutions Solution Types: • Unique solution: One value satisfies equation • No solution: Inconsistent equation • Infinite solutions: Identity (always true) • Multiple solutions: Several values work Applications: Modeling relationships, finding unknowns, optimization, and problem-solving across all sciences.
