classify each expression as a monomial;a binomial or trinomial a) 3a+4b-5c b) 2z² c) 2-4b+7 d) 1/7x+2/7y3/7z e) x-y f) -14x³ g) b²-4ac h) b-2b+3b-4b+5b
Answers
Answer:
a. Trinomial
b. Monomial
c. Monomial
d. Trinomial
e. Binomial
f. Monomial
g. not confirm binomial
h. Monomial
Answer:
a) 3a + 4b - 5c
Trinomial because it has THREE ("tri") terms
b) 2z²
Monomial because it has only ONE term ("mono")
c) 2 - 4b + 7
Binomial because it has only TWO terms -- after you combine like terms
When you combine like terms, the expression becomes
- 4b + 9 <-- a binomial
d) 1/7x + 2/7y3/7z
This is probably a binomial but the terms don't have any grouping symbols
e) x - y
Binomial because it has two terms
f) -14x³
Monomial because it has only one term
g) b² - 4ac
Binomial because it has two terms
h) b - 2b + 3b - 4b + 5b
Monomial because it has only one term after the like terms are combined
After you combine the like terms, the expression is:
3b <-- a monomial
Step-by-step explanation:
"Terms" are the expressions separated by + or - signs.
Any part that is separated by a plus sign or a minus sign is ONE TERM
If the numbers and letters are joined with multiplication or division, that is ONE TERM no matter how many numbers and letters are joined.
