Question

5: Which of the given pair of terms is of like terms? a) 12xz, 12x2 z 2 b) -4x, -19x​

Answer 1

▪︎Like terms here are -4x and -19x .

▪︎Like terms are those terms having same variables portion with same degree in the given polynomial.

▪︎IN These polynomials -4x and -19x are having same variablex with degree(power) 1 so they are like terms.

Answer 2

From the given question the correct answer is:

b) -4x, -19x​

b) -4x, -19x​ is the given pair of terms is of like terms.

Explanation:

• Like terms here are -4x and -19x.
• Like terms are those terms having the same variables portion with the same degree in the given polynomial.
• IN These polynomials -4x and -19x are having the same variables with degree(power) 1 so they are like terms.
• Hence, -4x, -19x​ is the given pair of terms is of like terms.
