Question

Help me with my homework

Answer 1

Answer: A. There are three terms

Concept:

In an algebraic expression, there are several specific terms:

• Constant: the individual number that has no variable with it, or in east word, it is isolated.
• Variable: any unknown value, which is usually presented by alphabets.
• Coefficients: the numbers that are bounded with a variable, usually in front of a variable.
• Terms: the number of individuals present in the expression, which is constants and [variable + coefficients].
• Like terms: terms that have the same variables and powers.

If you are still confused, you may refer to the attachment below for a graphical explanation.

Solve:

a. There are three terms. $\boxed{FALSE}$

- 14b

- -7

- 8b

- b

There are in total four individuals, which means there are four terms.

b. There is one constant term. $\boxed{TRUE}$

- 14b is a [variable + coefficient]

- -7 is a [constant]

- 8b is a [variable + coefficient]

- b is a [variable]

Therefore, there is one constant term.

c. The coefficients are 14, 8, and 1 $\boxed{TRUE}$

- 14b →→→ 14 is the [coefficient]

- -7 →→→ is a [constant]

- 8b →→→ 8 is the [coefficient]

- b →→→ 1 is the [coefficient]

Therefore, 14, 8, and 1 are coefficients.

d. Three of the terms are like terms $\boxed{TRUE}$

- 14b →→→ b is the [variable]

- -7 →→→ is a [constant]

- 8b →→→ b is the [variable]

- b →→→ b is the [variable]

Since 14b, 8b, and b share the common variable, there are three like terms.

Hope this helps!! :)
