Answer:


4(s.t)


-6(s^2+t)


s^2.t^2

Explanation:

Like Terms

To be considered similar or like terms, two or more terms must have the exact same variables with the exact same exponents, regardless of the coefficients. For example, the following are like terms:


x, 5x, -3x, 2/5x


3ab^2, -1/2ab^2, 7b^2a

The following are not like terms:


x, 3y, -x^3


pq^3, p^3q^3, -p^3q

We need to find which of the given terms are not considered to be like terms with the expression
-6s^2t. The variable s must be squared and the variable t must have an exponent of 1.

Applying the above definition, the following expressions are not like terms:


4(s.t)


-6(s^2+t)


s^2.t^2
