State whether a given pair of terms is of like or unlike terms:
Verify the given statement:
The term "like terms" in algebra refers to terms that have the same variable raised to the same power.
Only the numerical coefficients can vary in terms that are similar to algebra.
Given pair of terms is
They can be written as
Here both terms have same variable i.e. but raised to different exponent i.e. . Thus they are unlike terms.
Hence the given pair of terms are unlike terms.
