Question

Which of the following expressions are binomials?

• $5a+2c$
• $x+xz-7$
• $2m+\frac{n}{2}$
• $x-xy+y^2-6$

Answer 1

Binomial is an algebraic expression containing two unlike terms.
$\left[0.5Marks\right]$

Therefore, out of the given expressions, $5a+2c$ and $2m+\frac{n}{2}$ are binomials.
$\left[1Mark\right]$

Whereas, $x+xz-7$ is a trinomial with three unlike terms, and $x-xy+y^2-6$ is a multinomial.
$\left[0.5Marks\right]$
