Explain how the words term and coefficient are used in talking about the algebraic expression.

<h2><u>Answer:</u></h2>

The <u>algebraic expressions</u> are composed of several elements: Terms, Coefficients, Signs, Variables and Exponents. In this case we will focus on the first two.

<u>The terms</u> are composed of sign, coefficient, variable and exponent. The terms are separated from each other by the plus sign (+) or the minus sign (-).

For example, in the following expression:

2x-3x

We have two terms separated by the negative sign (-):

2x is the first term

-3x is the second term

Now, <u>the coefficients</u> are the numbers that multiply the variable. <u>Note that if this coefficient is one (1) it is omitted .</u>

For example in the following expression, the variable is x:

2x-3x+x

2 is the coefficient of x in the first term

-3 is the coefficient of x in the second term

1 is the coefficient of x in the third term, <u>but is omitted </u>


In order to understand this in a better way, see the figure attached, where the algebraic expression is composed by one term.

A car travels 17 miles on one gallon of gas
zmey [24]

When x =170, y =10, when x = 187, y = 1, when x = 204, y = 12, when x = 221, y = 13, when x = 238, y = 14, when x = 255, y = 15, when x = 272, y = 16, when x = 289, y = 17, when x = 306, y = 18, when x = 323, y = 19, when x = 340, y = 20,

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1; Assume y is the gallons in the tank while x is the range of the car. We need to determine the equation relating the y to the x values in the given coordinates. x is the dependent value whereas y is the independent value i.e. the value of x depends on the value of y.

Step 2; As y increases, x also increases. For every extra gallon in the tank, the car can go another 17 miles. So with y as the amount of gas in the tank in gallons and x as the range of vehicle, we get;

x = 17y, this represents the relation between x and y.

To find the gallons in the tank, y = \frac{x}{17},

For x = 170, y = \frac{170}{17} = 10,

Similarly equating the values we get that when x = 187, y = 11,

when x = 204, y = 12,

when x = 221, y = 13,

when x = 238, y = 14,

when x = 255, y = 15,

when x = 272, y = 16,

when x = 289, y = 17,

when x = 306, y = 18,

when x = 323, y = 19,

when x = 340, y = 20,
