Question

Classify the following expression as monomial, binomial
or a trinomial:
x + 5y - E​

Answer 1

Before we move to the terms of an algebraic expression, you need to recall the definition of an algebraic expression. As discussed in the previous topic, an algebraic expression is an amalgam of variables and constants of 1 or more terms. The expressions are separated by symbols or operations like (+, –, × and ÷). These expressions are categorized as a monomial, binomial, trinomial and polynomial. 

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

You call an expression with a single term a monomial, an expression with two terms is a binomial, and an expression with three terms is a trinomial. An expression with more than three terms is named simply by its number of terms. For example a polynomial with five terms is called a five-term polynomial.
