Answer 1

Answer 2

Hello 123. First arrange the like terms.

Answer 3

Hello maths. Okay.

Answer 4

are 6x^3 and x^3 like terms?

Answer 5

yes.

Answer 6

OK.

Answer 7

Because of their power?

Answer 8

yes.

Answer 9

Note that, 6x^2 and 6y^2 are not considered to be like terms.

If there is same variable and same power then they are like terms. Like : \(4x\) and \(2x\) etc.

Answer 10

Okay.

Answer 11

Because x and y are not the same variable.

Answer 12

Yes.

Answer 13

Okay.
6x^2 and 2x^2

Answer 14

x^3 and 6x^3?

Answer 15

Yes they are also like terms. 123, can you now arrange the whole expression ?

Answer 16

Not like that...

for example I have : \(\large x+2x^2 + 8x +4x^2 \) then I will write this in arranged form as :

\( \large x + 8x + 2x^2 + 4x^2\)

Are you understanding my point?

Answer 17

Yes,I think so.

Answer 18

1. x 2. x^2 3. constants ?

Answer 19

for example x+3^2-9.
Like that?

Answer 20

I must go....I'll check back on replies tomorrow!
Thanks!

Answer 21

See I have : \(\large{-11x-6x^2+x^3+2x^2-x+6x^3}\)


Then I have like terms :
\(\large{\color{blue}{-11x \quad \& \quad -x }}\)
\(\large{\color{green}{-6x^2 \quad \& \quad 2x^2 }}\)
\(\large{ \color{red}{x^3 \quad \& \quad 6x^3} }\)

Now I can write the original expression as:
\(\large{\color{blue}{-11x - x} \color{green}{-6x^2 + 2x^2 } \color{red}{+x^3 + 6x^3} }\)

Answer 22

Notice the like terms arrangemenet here.
