Algebraic Expressions 
Points to remember 
? Algebraic expressions are formed from variables and constants. 
? A quantity having a fixed numerical value is called a constant whereas a 
quantity having different numerical values is called a variable. 
? Expressions are made up of terms. 
? Terms which have the same algebraic factors are like terms and terms which 
have different algebraic factors are unlike terms. 
? Any expression with one or more terms is called a polynomial. A one term 
expression is called monomial, a two-term expression is called binomial and a 
three term expression is called trinomial. 
? The highest power of the variable is the degree of an algebraic expression. 
? Rules and formula are written in a concise and general form using algebraic 
expressions.
