Question

which of the following are terms in this expression? select all that apply.
2 + c + 5a + 4b
c 5a 2 4b

Explanation:

In an algebraic expression, a term is a single number, variable, or the product of a number and a variable, separated by addition or subtraction signs.

Step1: Analyze the expression \(2 + c + 5a + 4b\)

The expression is made up of parts separated by plus signs.

Step2: Identify each term

• The first part is \(2\) (a constant term).
• The second part is \(c\) (a variable term).
• The third part is \(5a\) (a term with a coefficient and a variable).
• The fourth part is \(4b\) (a term with a coefficient and a variable).

So all of \(c\), \(5a\), \(2\), and \(4b\) are terms in the expression \(2 + c + 5a + 4b\).

Answer:

\(c\), \(5a\), \(2\), \(4b\) (all of these are terms in the given expression)
