Do you have a guess or idea?
Remember the plus and minus signs separate terms
I think it's only one, the 3pq part
No, the minus sign splits those up
So it's not one
One term would just be 3pq and nothing else
GREETINGS
o.O Oh. would it be 2p^2 than? Hi puppies
each term is between the subtraction sign
each term has to be separated by like multiply divide subtract or add sign
They are their own term because the minus sign splits them up
But there is no 0 as an answer choice. So it has to be something..
So if you have like 3pq+45p+10+46q that would be three terms one being 3pq one being 45p one being 10 and one being 46q because all those addition signs split them up so you would have 4 terms
*four terms sorry
Oh, so it'd be 3? one term is 2p^2 then another is just q, and another 3pq?
So what would your first term be in this problem?
No
how is the first term being separated
Where is the seperation
if 2p^2q counts as one terms, than there are only two terms..
Yes
Because the subtraction sign splits 2p^2q and 3pq
a one-term polynomial, such as 2x or 4x2, may also be called a "monomial" ("mono" meaning "one") a two-term polynomial, such as 2x + y or x2 – 4, may also be called a "binomial" ("bi" meaning "two") a three-term polynomial, such as 2x + y + z or x4 + 4x2 – 4, may also be called a "trinomial" ("tri" meaning "three")
So you were right the answer is 2 terms
:)
Thank you!!
Just remember it does matter the degree just split them up by subtraction or addition
