The number of terms in 4p2q − 3pq+ 5 is
  • a)
    3
  • b)
    7
  • c)
    5
  • d)
    1
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Varun Kapoor answered
Number of terms means the total number of individual elements present in a statement.
We have 4p2q, 3pq2 and 5 separated by a plus or minus sign, so these three are our terms.

Which of the following pairs of terms is a pair of unlike terms?
  • a)
     -p2q2,12q2p2
  • b)
    -4yx2,-4xy2
  • c)
    41,100
  • d)
    qp2,13p2q
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Varun Kapoor answered
The correct option is B −4yx2,−4xy2
  • −p2q2,12q2p2: terms contain same variables with equal exponents, so these are like terms.
  • −4yx2,−4xy2: As in −4yx2, x has exponent 2 & y has exponent 1 and in −4xy2 , y has exponent 2 & x has exponent 1. So both the terms have same variables but with different exponent. Hence −4yx2,−4xy2 are unlike terms.
  • 41, 100: terms do not contain any variable, so these are like terms.
  • qp2,13p2q: terms have same variables p and q with equal exponent 2 and 1 respectively. So, these are like terms.

What is the numerical coefficient of y2in the expression 2x2y - 15xy+ 7y
  • a)
    x
  • b)
    5
  • c)
    -15
  • d)
    15x
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

The numerical coefficient is the constant part of the term without the variables. In this case, the numerical coefficient of y2 is -15.

The coefficient of yin the expression y − y3+ y2is
  • a)
    -1
  • b)
    2
  • c)
    1
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Coefficient is the numerical number associated with the variable. So here we have (-1)y3. So the answer is -1.

The expression xyz is
  • a)
    binomial
  • b)

Understanding the Expression
To simplify the expression 7xy² - y² + 7x²y - 5x² - 3y² + 4y²x - 3y² + x², we will group and combine like terms step-by-step.
Step 1: Identify Like Terms
- The terms involving xy²: 7xy²
- The terms involving y²: -y² - 3y² - 3y² = -7y²
- The terms involving x²: -5x² + x² = -4x²
- The terms involving x²y: 7x²y + 4y²x = 11x²y (since 4y²x = 4xy²)
Step 2: Combine Like Terms
Now, combine the simplified terms from above:
- The xy² term: 7xy²
- The y² term: -7y²
- The x² term: -4x²
- The x²y term: 11x²y
So, the expression simplifies to:
7xy² + 11x²y - 4x² - 7y²
Step 3: Review Options
Now, let's compare the simplified expression with the given options:
- a) 11xy² + 7xy² - 4x² - 7y²
- b) 7xy² - 11xy² + 4x² - 7y²
- c) 7x²y + 11xy² - 4x² - 7y²
- d) 11xy² - 7xy² + 4x² - 7y²
The correct simplified expression is aligned with option c):
Final Answer
Therefore, the correct answer is option C): 7x²y + 11xy² - 4x² - 7y².

When terms have the same algebraic factor, they are called __________.
  • a)
    like terms
  • b)
    expressions
  • c)
    unlike terms
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Vp Classes answered
- When terms have the same algebraic factor, they are called like terms.
- Like terms have identical variables raised to the same powers, but they may have different coefficients.
- For example, in the expression 3x2 + 5x - 2x2, the terms 3x2 and -2x2 are like terms.

A _________ can take various values.
  • a)
    variable
  • b)
    expression
  • c)
    term
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Subset Academy answered
- A variable is a symbol used to represent a quantity that can change or take on different values.
- In mathematics and programming, variables are placeholders for data that can vary.
- Examples include variables in algebra like  x or y, which can represent any number.
- Unlike constants, which have a fixed value, variables are designed to be flexible and adaptable to different situations.

The number of terms in the expression 1.2ab – 2.4 b + 3.6a is
  • a)
    4
  • b)
    3
  • c)
    2
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

The expression 1.2ab−2.4b+3.6aconsists of three terms:
  1. 1.2ab
  2. −2.4b
  3. 3.6a
Hence, the number of terms in this expression is 3.

From the following expressions 10pq, 7p, 8q, −p2q2, -7pq, -23, ab, 3a, b.The like terms are
  • a)
    7p, 8q
  • b)
    ab, 3a, b
  • c)
    10pq,-7pq
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Freak Artworks answered
Like terms are those that have the same variable(s) raised to the same power(s).
Here, 10pq and −7pq are like terms because they both contain pq with the same powers of p and q.

Simplify the expression −3(x + y) +5(x − y)

    2x − 8y
  • b)
    − 2x + 2y
  • c)
    8x − 8y
  • d)
    2x + 8y
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Understanding the Expression
To simplify the expression -3(x + y) + 5(x - y), we will distribute the coefficients and combine like terms.
Step 1: Distribute the Coefficients
- Distributing -3 in -3(x + y):
- -3 * x = -3x
- -3 * y = -3y
- Thus, -3(x + y) = -3x - 3y
- Distributing 5 in 5(x - y):
- 5 * x = 5x
- 5 * -y = -5y
- Thus, 5(x - y) = 5x - 5y
Step 2: Combine the Results
Now, substitute the distributed results back into the expression:
- -3x - 3y + 5x - 5y
Step 3: Combine Like Terms
Now, combine the like terms:
- Combine x terms:
- -3x + 5x = 2x
- Combine y terms:
- -3y - 5y = -8y
So, the expression simplifies to:
- 2x - 8y
Final Result
Thus, the simplified expression is:
- 2x - 8y
This matches option 'A'.

Sita is y years old this year. Her brother is twice as old as her. How old was her brother 2 years ago?
  • a)
    2y−2
  • b)
    2y−4
  • c)
    y−2
  • d)
    y−1
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Praveen Kumar answered
Sita's current age = y years.
Her brother's current age = 2y (since he is twice as old as her).
Two years ago, her brother's age = 2y−2
Subtracting 2 from 2y:
2y−2−2 = 2y−4
