Question

When we add a monomial and a trinomial, then answer can be a monomial. State whether the statement given is True or False.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Explanation.

• Monomial – A monomial is an expression that contains only one term.
• Binomial – A binomial is a polynomial expression that contains exactly two terms. A binomial can be considered as a sum or difference between two or more monomials.
• Trinomial – A trinomial is an expression that is composed of exactly three terms.

When we add a monomial and a trinomial, then answer can be binomial or trinomial.

For example:

Addition of $x$ and $x^2+xy$ is $x+x^2+xy$ which is a trinomial.

Addition of $xy$ and $x^2+xy$ is $x^2+2xy$ which is a binomial.

Hence, the given statement is False.
