Question 1 • FL-1200700-Mathematics for College Algebra MIS

Adding which terms to 3x2y would result in a monomial? Check all that apply.3xy–12x2y2x2y27xy2–10x24x2y3x3

Answer
A
3xy
B
–12x2y
C
2x2y2
D
7xy2
E
–10x2
F
4x2y
G
3x3

Explanation

The starting term is 3x²y. To get a monomial after addition, the added term must have the same variables raised to the same powers, so the terms combine into one term. Both −12x²y and 4x²y are like terms with 3x²y; the other choices have different exponents or variables.
