Question

Identify each expression as a monomial, binomial, trinomial, or none of the above.

1) 24x²y

2) 9q + 4q/5p - 3p²

Answer 1

you can identify an expression by the number of the terms in the expression.

monomial = one term
binomial = two terms
and so on.


`24x^(2)`y contains only one term, so it is a monomial.

9q +
`(4q)/(5p)` -
`3p^(2)` contains three terms, so it is a trinomial.
