Question 56 (b)
Simplify the following by combining the like terms and then write whether the expression is a monomial, a binomial or a trinomial.
x4+3x3y+3x2y2−3x3y−3xy2+y4−3x2y2
x4+3x3y+3x2y2−3x3y−3xy3+y4−3x2y2
By combining the like terms.
= x4+3x3y−3x3y+3x2y2−3x2y2−3x3y+y4= x4+0+0−3x3y+y4=x4+y4−3x3y
The expression contains three terms. So, it trinomial.
