Answer 1

Do you know how to tell the number of terms in an expression?

Answer 2

noo...);

Answer 3

Terms are separated by plus or minus signs.

Answer 4

3+2x
That is 2 terms

Answer 5

soo.. 4x-3x would be 2 terms? mehh I'm so confused

Answer 6

6-8x+7y+15z
That is 4 terms

Answer 7

so regardless of the variables?

Answer 8

Yes 4x-3x is two terms until you add the like terms and get 1x. Then it is one term

Answer 9

(x-5)(x^2+4x)

Answer 10

what would that be? its multiplying..

Answer 11

That is one term because it is a product.

Answer 12

I'm still confused);

Answer 13

It is a product that is composed of two factors. Factors are things that you multiply.

Answer 14

If you want to talk about the factors individually, we can do that. The first factor is x-5. That factor has two terms.

Answer 15

The second factor is x^2 + 4x. It also has two terms. So the problem says to multiply two factorss each of which has two terms.

Answer 16

What is a two wheeled cycle called?

Answer 17

i don't get it.. my teacher says she is giving us a test on it tomorrow and we have to like classify things and I'm very confused.. i dont know how to look at a equation and know if she wants to know if its a monomial,binomial,trinomial or polynomial or i wouldn't know it she wanted to know if it is a constant, linear, quadratic, cubic, or quartic, i wouldn't even be able to look at an equation and figure that out

Answer 18

Why don't you just answer my question?

Answer 19

bicycle?

Answer 20

And likewise a two term expression is called a binomial.

Answer 21

If the expression only has one term it is called a monomial. What do you think it might be called if it has 3 terms?

Answer 22

okay but can you give me a few examples.. I'm a visual learner and its very hard for me to remember and process this.
and trinomial.

Answer 23

2x^2+5x-8

Answer 24

(x-2)(3+y)

Answer 25

Answer 26

16x+17y^3+8z^2-96a+75q

Answer 27
