Question

Which of the following are like terms?3y^5 ,2x^53y^5, 2y^56y^2, 2z3y^4, 4x^3

Answer 1

1) Like terms have the same variable and the same exponent. Therefore we can add, subtract, and combine them when operating polynomials.

2) Examining the options, we can state that:

3y^5, 2y^5

We can add those, subtract them, and so on.

3) So the answer is 3y^5, 2y^5 for they have the same variable,
