Instructions for using the Online Algebra Calculator

The algebra calculator has a very intuitive and friendly interface which makes it very easy to use. To explain in a simple way how to use it, we will first explain the elements of the input interface, through which you can enter the mathematical expressions you want to solve. Then we will explain the output interface, through which the calculator displays the solution.

Algebra Calculator User Interface - Part A

Input user interface

The input user interface is subdivided into 4 parts according to their functionality, which are shown in figure 1.

  • Input field: This is where you write the algrebraic expression you want to solve. You can do this using the keyboard of your device or the virtual keyboard of the calculator itself. You should use only the functions and operators that are presented in Table 1.
  • Input to mathematical notation: In this box, the expression entered in the input field is rewritten using mathematical notation.
  • Choose between degrees or radians
  • Enable or disable trigonometric functions on the virtual keyboard
  • Choose the variable for which you want to solve the entered equation.
  • Virtual keyboard: In it are all the functions, constants and functions that you can use in the algebra calculator. Pressing the “Trig Frunctions” button on the tool bar displays the buttons for all trigonometric and hyperbolic functions.

Output interface

The solution to the entered mathematical expression is displayed in the output interface. Depending on the nature of the mathematical problem, options may be generated to explore other variants of the solution. For example, if you’ve entered a quadratic equation, you’ll be able to choose a different solving method, or if you’ve entered an equation with more than one variable, you’ll be able to select which other variable you want to solve the equation for.

Solving Algebra word problems is useful in helping you to solve earthly problems. While the 5 steps of Algebra problem solving are listed below, the following will help you learn how to first identify the problem.

  • Identify the problem.
  • Identify what you know.
  • Make a plan.
  • Carry out the plan.
  • Verify that the answer makes sense.

Identify the Problem

Back away from the calculator ; use your brain first. Your mind analyzes, plans, and guides in the labyrinthine quest for the solution. Think of the calculator as merely a tool that makes the journey easier. After all, you wouldn’t want a surgeon to crack your ribs and perform a heart transplant without first identifying the source of your chest pains.

The steps of identifying the problem are:

  • Express the problem question or statement.
  • Identify the unit of the final answer.

Express the Problem Question or Statement

In Algebra word problems, the problem is expressed as either a question or a statement.

  • How many trees will John have to plant?
  • How many televisions will Sara have to sell to earn $50,000?
  • Find the number of trees John will have to plant.
  • Solve for the number of televisions Sara will have to sell to earn $50,000.

Identify the Unit of the Final Answer

What will the answer look like? Now that you understand the word problem’s purpose, determine the answer’s unit. For example, will the answer be in miles, feet, ounces, pesos, dollars, the number of trees, or a number of televisions?

Algebra Word Problem

Javier is making brownies to serve at the family picnic. If the recipe calls for 2 ½ cups of cocoa to serve 4 people, how many cups will he need if 60 people attend the picnic?
  • Identify the problem:   How many cups will Javier need if 60 people attend the picnic?
  • Identify the unit of the final answer: Cups
In the market for computer batteries, the intersection of the supply and demand functions determines the price, p dollars , and the quantity, q , of goods sold. Supply function: 80 q - p = 0 Demand function: 4 q + p = 300 Determine the price and quantity of computer batteries sold when these functions intersect.
  • Identify the problem:   How much will the batteries cost and how much will be sold when supply and demand functions meet?
  • Identify the unit of the final answer: The quantity, or q , will be given in batteries. The price, or p , will be given in dollars.
