Question

State true or false for the given statement

The expression given below is an algebraic expression.
$x^2-5yz$

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

We know that the combination of constants and variables, connected by signs of fundamental operations $(+,-,\times ,÷)$ is called an algebraic expression.

Here, the given expression is $x^2-5yz$ includes two terms $x^2$ and $5yz$ where:

$x^2$ is a term with variable $x$ whose exponent is $2$ and coefficient $1$.

$5yz$ is a term with variables $y$ and $z$ whose exponent is same that is $1$ and coefficient is $5$.

Also, the both terms $x^2$ and $5yz$ are connected by the sign of subtraction $-$.

Hence, $x^2-5yz$ is an algebraic expression.
