Math Problem Statement
Solution
The image shows a multiple-choice math question asking to select the best name for each algebraic expression listed. I will help break down the expressions and guide you on the naming conventions.
1.
This is a monomial because it consists of a single term.
2.
This is a polynomial with four terms, specifically a quartic polynomial because the highest degree is 7 (a polynomial of degree 7 is called septic or degree-7 polynomial).
3.
This is a trinomial because it consists of three terms and has a highest degree of 4.
4.
This is a binomial since it has two terms and the highest degree is 7 (so it's also a degree-7 binomial).
5.
This expression includes a negative power, so it is a rational expression rather than a polynomial.
Would you like more details on how these are categorized? Feel free to ask questions.
Here are 5 related questions to think about:
- What is the difference between a polynomial and a rational expression?
- Can you have a monomial with a negative exponent?
- How do you classify polynomials based on their degree?
- What makes an algebraic expression a binomial or trinomial?
- How can you simplify rational expressions?
Tip: When naming algebraic expressions, always focus on the number of terms and the degree (highest exponent).
