Question

Write an expression with four terms. Include at least one term with an exponent, one term with a coefficient of 5, one term with three factors, and one constant. Make two of the terms like terms. Include a brief description of each term in the expression.

Answer 1

4x^2 + 5x^2 + 4xy

Explanation

You need 2 like terms this could be of the form:

ax^2 + bx^2 + c

1 term with a coefficient of 5, sub in b = 5

ax^2 + 5x^2 + c

1 term with 3 factors, c = 4xy

This would mean it has a factor of 4,x and y.

So final equation is (a could be any value I give it a value of 4 for convenience)

4x^2 + 5x^2 + 4xy
