Question

Simplify the following by combining the like terms and then write whether the expression is a monomial, a binomial or a trinomial.

3x²yz² – 3xy²z + x²yz² + 7xy²z

Options

• Monomial

• Binomial

• Trinomial

Answer 1

Binomial

Explanation:

We have, 3x²yz² – 3xy²z + x²yz² + 7xy²z

By combining the like terms,

= 3x²yz² + x²yz² – 3xy²z + 7xy²z

= 4x²yz² + 4xy²z

The expression contains two terms. So, it is binomial.
