We can use algebraic operations to rewriteexpressions, including polynomial expressions.When we rewrite polynomial expressions, therepresentations look different but still representthe same expression.Where else have you seen this type oftransformation—when something appearsdifferent, but its meaning remains the same?Pls go into depth, My teacher is one of those.

For example:

7xy² is a monomial in two variables x and y

It can be written as:

y²7x=y²(6+1)x=y²(5+2)(x²)/(x)

For example, rationalize the following fraction:

10/(sqrt(x)),

Multiply the numerator and the denominaror by sqrt(x)

(10 sqrt(x)) / (sqrt(x))²

(10 sqrt(x))/ x
