Question

HELP ME PLEASEEE

Beatrice writes down every expression that appears in this problem set, one after the other, linking them with
+ signs between them. She is left with one very large expression on her page. Is that expression a polynomial expression? That is, is it algebraically equivalent to a polynomial?
What if she wrote - signs between the expressions instead?
What if she wrote × signs between the expressions instead?

Answer 1

Is that expression a polynomial expression?

yes because they are terms linked into one expression.

What if she wrote - signs between the expressions instead?

it would still be considered a polynomial.

What if she wrote × signs between the expressions instead?

no because it would be one huge term
