Identify the terms in the following equation:
In an equation, a term is a single number or a variable. in our equation we have the following terms:
Compare your answer with the correct one above
How many terms are in the following expression: ?
Step 1: We need to separate and arrange the terms in the jumbled expression given to us in the question..
We will separate the terms by the exponent value.
For , there is only one term:
For , there are no terms.
For , there is two terms:
For , there are two terms:
For , there are two terms:
For , there is only one term:
For , there are two terms:
For , there are three terms:
There are four constant terms:
Step 2: We will now add up the coefficients in each designation of terms. This will give us the answer.
Compare your answer with the correct one above
Simplify the polynomial
.
How many terms does the simplified form have?
Arrange and combine like terms (those with the same variable) as follows:
Since each term now has a different exponent for the variable, no further combining is possible. The simplified form has four terms.
