Question

Write all the terms of the following algebraic expression :

$3x^2-5x+\frac{2}{x}-\frac{5}{x^2}$

Answer 1

We have the algebraic expression as :

$3x^2-5x+\frac{2}{x}-\frac{5}{x^2}$

Since, A term is either a single number or variable or product of a number and variable or division of a number and variable

Therefore, terms of the expression $\mathbf{3}{\mathit{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}\mathbf{}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{}\mathbf{5}\mathit{x}\mathbf{}\mathbf{+}\mathbf{}\frac{\mathbf{2}}{\mathbf{x}}\mathbf{}\mathbf{-}\mathbf{}\frac{\mathbf{5}}{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}}$ are $\mathbf{3}{\mathit{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}$ , $\mathbf{-}\mathbf{5}\mathit{x}$ , $\frac{\mathbf{2}}{\mathbf{x}}$ , $\mathbf{-}\frac{\mathbf{5}}{{\mathbf{x}}^{\mathbf{2}}}$
