Answer

(i) 7p2 × a3b

Multiplication combines these into a single unit. There are no + or - signs separating them.

Number of terms: 1

Hence, it is a monomial.

(ii) 5 + 3x3y3z2

The + sign separates the constant '5' from the variable term.

Number of terms: 2

Hence, it is a binomial.

(iii) 3x2 ÷ p

Division results in a single algebraic term : 3x2p\dfrac{3\text x^2}{\text p}

So,

Number of terms: 1

Hence, it is a monomial.

(iv) 3a+2b5c7\dfrac{3a + 2b - 5c}{7}

While the entire expression is over a single denominator, the numerator contains three distinct terms (3a, 2b, and -5c) separated by + and -.

⟹ Number of terms: 3

Hence, it is a trinomial.

(v) xy + yz - zx

There are three distinct products separated by + and -.

So,

Number of terms: 3

Hence, it is a trinomial.

(vi) ax2 + bx × y2

The multiplication combines bx and y2 into one term (bxy2). The only separator is the + sign.

Term 1: ax2

Term 2: bxy2

Number of terms: 2

Hence, it is a binomial.
