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 :
So,
Number of terms: 1
Hence, it is a monomial.
(iv)
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.
