Understanding and Combining Monomials

Why is it suggested to use different color highlighters when working with monomials?

• To highlight mistakes

• To separate different math problems

• To help identify and combine like terms

• To make the paper look colorful

What is the base in the expression 5^x?

• The coefficient

• x

• 5

• The exponent

Which of the following is a monomial?

• 5 + x

• x^2 + 3

• 6x^2

• x - 1

When can you add or subtract monomials?

• When they have different variables

• When they have the same variable and exponent

• When they have different exponents

• When they have the same coefficient

What is the result of combining 6m^2 and 4m^2?

• 6m^4

• 2m^2

• 24m^4

• 10m^2

Why can't 6r and 6r^2 be combined?

• They have different coefficients

• They have different variables

• They have different exponents

• They are already combined

What is the simplified form of 10r^3 - 16r^3?

• 6r^3

• 26r^3

• -26r^3

• -6r^3

In the expression 14x^2 and 14x^3, why can't these terms be combined?

• They have different coefficients

• They have different variables

• They have different exponents

• They are already in simplest form

What is the result of combining 2m^2 and -5m^2?

• 3m^2

• -3m^2

• 7m^2

• -7m^2

How can color coding help in simplifying expressions?

• By separating different equations

• By helping to identify like terms

• By making the expressions look neat

• By highlighting the coefficients
