Question

Give an example of an expression that has three terms. The first term should have two factors, the second term should have three factors, and one of those factors must have more than one term. Make the last term a constant.

Answer 1

3x+4x(2+y)+2

Step-by-step explanation:

• A mathematical expression: is a finite combination of numbers and symbols well form accordingly to rules

• A term: the terms of an expression are the things that are getting added or subtracted

• A factor: the factors of an expression are the things that are getting multiply in each term

• a constant: is a fixed number

So for our expression, 3x+4x(2+y)+2, we have three terms: 3x, 4x(2+y) and 2

The first term, 3x, has two factors: 3 and x

The second term, 4x(2+y), has three factors: 4, x and (2+y), and the third factor within this term has two terms 2 and y

The third term, 2, is just a constant
