Answer:
BINOMIAL
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
xy ------> Monomial
5a-3b --------> Binomial
Step-by-step explanation:
A monomial is an expression with one term.
A binomial is an expression with 2 unique terms.
A trinomial is an expression with 3 unique terms.
As we can see, the first expression, xy, has one 1 term (Note: You don't look at the number of variables in one term to decide whether it is a monomial, binomial or trinomial. For example, take the number 98. You take 98 as a single term and not as 2 separate terms 9 and 8.)
Hence, xy is a monomial.
The second expression, 5a - 3b, has 2 terms - 5a and 3b. When terms are separated by an addition sign or subtraction sign there are regarded as 2 different terms. Hence, 5a - 3b is a binomial.
