Algebraic Expression. M7ME-IIb-24
An algebraic expression is any combination of one or more constant and variables
along with at least one mathematical operation.
A variable is any symbol representing possible values of a quantity.
A constant is any symbol representing one fixed value.
A term is a constant, a variable, or a product or a quotient of constant and variables.
Terms are separated by the symbols + and -.
A numerical coefficient is the constant factor in a monomial.
A literal coefficient is/are the variable factor/s in a monomial.
Examples:
Identify the constant/s, variable/s, numerical coefficient, literal coefficient, and
number of terms.
