Question

Select all the terms that are like terms.

Answer 1

Answer:

-8 x2

1.25 x2

x2

Step-by-step explanation:

Like terms are those which have the same variable. For example x²= x ² but x³≠x² functions having the same variable are called like terms. Terms vary with the change in exponents.

-8 x2

1.25 x2

x2

These three are like terms because they have the same variable with the same exponent.

The following are not like terms. They are unlike terms each having a different variable with a different exponent.

5 yx2

-3.4 x3

4 x

5
