Question

identify the terms and factors in each of the following expressions . a) 3x + 5y
b) 3abc + 7b2


​

Answer 1

a) In the expression,3x+5y ,3x+5y are connected by addition operator.

Hence,3x,5y are the terms of the expression.

3x is the product of 3 and x. Hence,it's factors are 3 and x.

Similarly,the factor of 5y are 5 and y.

b) In the expression 3abc + 7b2 ,3abc + 7b2 are connected by addition operator.

Hence,3abc ,7b2 are the terms of the expression.

3x is the product of 3 ,a, b and c . Hence,it's factors are 3 , a, b and c.

Similarly,the factor of 7b2 are 7 ,b, 2 .
