what is a* in algebra

sorry what is a * in algebra

it means multiplication

In algebra, the expression "a*" does not have a specific meaning. It seems incomplete or could be a typo. However, if you are referring to the asterisk (*) symbol, it often represents multiplication.

For example, if "a" represents a number, "a*" typically means "a times something." To find the value of "a*" in a specific equation or context, you would need more information about what "a" represents or what other variables or numbers are involved in the problem.
