The video tutorial explains the concept of like terms in algebra, focusing on terms with the same variables raised to the same powers, regardless of their coefficients. It provides examples and non-examples to illustrate the concept and guides viewers on identifying like terms in various expressions.

What defines like terms in algebra?

• Different variables but same powers

• Same coefficients and variables

• Same coefficients but different variables

• Same variables and powers

Which of the following pairs are like terms?

• 4x^2y and 2x^2y

• 5xy and 5x^2y

• 3xy^2 and 3x^2y

• 2x^2y and 2xy^2

Why are 2x^2y and 2xy^2 not like terms?

• They have different variables

• They have the same powers

• The powers of x and y are different

• They have different coefficients

What is required for terms to be like terms with 10ABC?

• Same coefficients

• Variables a, b, c with powers of 1

• Only variable a with power of 1

• Variables a, b, c with any powers

Which of the following is a like term to 10ABC?

• 7abc

• 10a^3

• 10a^2bc

• ab

Why is 10a^3 not a like term to 10ABC?

• It lacks variables b and c

• It has the same variables

• It has different coefficients

• The power of a is different

Which of the following is not a like term to 10ABC?

• abc

• 7abc

• 10a^1b^1c^1

• ab

What is the significance of coefficients in like terms?

• They are irrelevant

• They must be the same

• They can be different

• They determine the power of variables

Which of the following is a like term to 10ABC?

• abc

• 10a^2b^2c^2

• 10a^3bc

• ab

What happens if a variable is missing in a term compared to 10ABC?

• It remains a like term

• It has no effect

• It becomes an unlike term

• It becomes a like term
