Can you give me an example of how patterns are used in algebra?
Sure. In algebra, patterns can help us identify important characteristics of equations, such as recognizing that a given equation is a quadratic equation or a linear equation. This knowledge can help us solve the equation more efficiently. Patterns can also help us identify common factors between different expressions, which are used in algebraic manipulations.
