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.

    y
  • b)
    y2
  • c)
    1
  • d)
    0
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

 
Coefficient of a variable is the integral number(or the expression) written next to a given variable. For x, the coefficient is y2.

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)
    monomial
  • c)
    trinomial
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Monomial: An algebraic expression which consists of one non-zero term only is called a monomial.Examples of 

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?

Sparsh Kapoor answered
There are only two terms in the expression 1.2ab:

1. The first term is 1.2, which is a decimal number.

2. The second term is ab, which is a variable expression consisting of two variables multiplied together.

Therefore, the number of terms in the expression 1.2ab is two.

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.

The constant term in the expression 1 + x2+ x is
  • a)
    1
  • b)
    x
  • c)
    x2
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Solution:

To find the constant term in the expression 1 x^2 x, we need to simplify the expression by multiplying the coefficients and the variables of the same degree.

1 x^2 x = 1 * x^2 * x

= 1 * x^(2+1)

= x^3

Therefore, the constant term in the expression is 0. The correct answer is option 'D' (None of these).

Explanation:

A constant term is a term in an algebraic expression that does not contain a variable. It is the term with the highest power of the variable raised to 0. In the given expression, there is no term that does not contain a variable. Therefore, there is no constant term in the expression.

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.

What is the coefficient of x² in the expression 5/7x²z?
  • a)
    5
  • b)
    5/7
  • c)
    z
  • d)
    5/7z
Correct answer is option 'D'. Can you explain this answer?

Rishabh Nair answered
Understanding the Expression
The given expression is 5/7x²z. To find the coefficient of x², we need to identify the part of the expression that multiplies x².
Identifying the Coefficient
- In algebra, the coefficient of a term is the numerical factor that multiplies the variable.
- Here, the term x² is multiplied by the factor 5/7z.
Breaking Down the Expression
- The expression can be viewed as:
- 5/7 (the coefficient)
- x² (the variable term)
- z (a separate variable)
Finding the Coefficient of x²
- The complete term involving x² is 5/7x²z.
- The coefficient of x² here is the factor that precedes x², which is 5/7z.
Conclusion
- Hence, the coefficient of x² in the expression 5/7x²z is effectively 5/7z, making option 'D' the correct answer.
- The key point is that the coefficient of x² is not just 5/7; it also includes the variable z, leading us to the final answer: 5/7z.

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?

Aruna sharma answered
Understanding Sita's Age
- Sita's current age is represented as "y" years.
- Her brother's age is twice her age, which can be expressed as "2y" years.
Calculating Brother's Age 2 Years Ago
- To find out how old her brother was 2 years ago, we need to subtract 2 from his current age.
Current Age of Brother
- Current age of Sita's brother = 2y years
Age Calculation
- Brother's age 2 years ago = Current age - 2
- So, it will be: 2y - 2
Final Answer
- Thus, Sita's brother was "2y - 2" years old two years ago.
- This matches option 'b'.
Conclusion
- The answer to the question about how old her brother was 2 years ago is indeed option 'b) 2y - 2'.
