Answer:

No

Explanation:

Algebraic Terms:

1. Monomial - an algebraic term

2. Binomial - the sum of 2 algebraic terms

3. Trinomial - an algebraic sum in 3 terms

4. Polynomial - a function in more than 1 algebraic term

The sum of 2 binomials is not always a binomial because each of the two binomials might have different algebraic terms.

If the first binomial has 2 algebraic terms and the second binomial has 2 other algebraic terms and no single term crosses out its coefficients, the sum of both binomials will not be a binomial.
