Question

Oanna and linne were trying to describe parts of the expression . joanna said, "the entire expression is the sum of terms." linne said, "the coefficients are and." who is correct? a) only joanna a only joanna b) only linne b only linne c) neither student is correct. d) both students are correct.

Answer 1

The question provided contains errors making the completion of Linne's statement impossible to assess. Joanna is correct in describing an algebraic expression as the sum of terms, while Linne's statement about coefficients is incomplete and lacks necessary context or specific values.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question that was asked seems to revolve around the basic components of an algebraic expression. Unfortunately, there has been a typographical error in the transmission of the students' names and their respective statements. Additionally, Linne's statement appears to be incomplete as it mentions 'the coefficients are and' but does not specify what the coefficients are.

However, considering the concept, we can clarify that an algebraic expression does indeed consist of the sum of terms as Joanna points out. Each term can be comprised of a coefficient, which is the numeric factor, and a variable. Without the full transcription of the expression in question or Linne's complete statement, pinpointing the exact coefficients Linne might be referring to is impossible. Therefore, based on the information we do have, it is likely that Joanna's description of the expression is correct, while Linne's statement is incomplete and cannot be fully assessed for accuracy.

Answer 2

Both Joanna and Linne are incorrect.

Therefore, option C is correct.

Step-by-step explanation:

Both Joanna and Linne are incorrect.

An expression consists of terms, and a term consists of a coefficient multiplied by one or more variables raised to various powers. Therefore, Joanna is incorrect in saying that the entire expression is the sum of terms. Instead, the entire expression is made up of terms which are being added or subtracted.

Linne is incorrect in saying that the coefficients are 'and'. The coefficients are numbers that multiply the variables in a term. They can be any real number.

The complete Question is given below:

Oanna and linne were trying to describe parts of the expression . joanna said, "the entire expression is the sum of terms." linne said, "the coefficients are and." who is correct?

a) only joanna a only joanna

b) only linne b only linne

c) neither student is correct.

d) both students are correct.
