Classify the following into monomials, binomials, and trinomials:
a – b, –9, 10y, 61 + 5m, 5xy2, a – b + c, a + 5, x2y + xy2 – xy, –3xy, 7 – 3xyz
3. Add: 7x2 – 4x + 5 and 9x - 10
4. Add: 7xy + 5yz – 3zx; 4yz + 9zx – 4y and –3xz + 5x – 2xy
5. Subtract: 5x2 – 4y2 + 6y – 3 from 7x2 – 4xy + 8y2 + 5x – 3y
Find 4x x 5y x 7z. First find 4x x 5y and multiply it by 7z; or first find 5y x 7z and multiply it by 4x. Is the result the same? What do you observe? Does the order in which you carry out the multiplication matter?
