Question
Consider the following expression.+2u+5v1Select all of the true statements below.1 is a constant.2u is a factor.+2u+5v1 is written as a sum of three terms.2u and 1 are like terms.2u is a coefficient.None of these are true.
Solution
-
1 is a constant. - This is true. In the expression, 1 is a constant term.
-
2u is a factor. - This is not necessarily true. A factor is a number or a variable that divides another number or variable evenly. Without further context, we cannot say that 2u is a factor.
-
+2u+5v1 is written as a sum of three terms. - This is not true. The expression +2u+5v1 is written as a sum of two terms, not three.
-
2u and 1 are like terms. - This is not true. Like terms are terms that contain the same variables raised to the same power. 2u and 1 are not like terms because 2u contains the variable u and 1 does not.
-
2u is a coefficient. - This is not true. 2u is a term, not a coefficient. In this term, 2 is the coefficient of the variable u.
-
None of these are true. - This is not true. The first statement is true.
