What is the sum of the exponents of the variables of a monomial is the of the monomial?
The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents on the variables.
When subtracting what to do with the exponents?
It depends on whether you are working with variables. You cannot add terms with variables that have unlike exponents.
How do you subtract like variables with different exponents?
You can't. You can only subtract like terms. Like terms must have exactly the same variables and exponents on the variables.
When dividing variables with exponents subtract exponents?
Yes. When you divide one variable with an exponent from another, you subtract the exponents
When multiplying 2 or more variables with exponents what do you do with the exponents?
You add the exponents- x^2*x^6=x^8
When adding variables with exponents do you add or subtract the exponents?
When adding variables with exponents, you do neither. You only add the exponents if #1 The variables are the same character (such as they are both "a") #2 You are multiplying the variables (NOT ADDING, SUBTRACTING, OR DIVIDING) Using a simple concrete case may make this clearer: 10+2 times 10+3 equals 10+5 ( 100 times 1000 equals 100,000).
When multiplying variables with the same base what do you do with the exponents?
You add them.
What is The sum of the exponents on the variables in a term?
Degree of a Polynomial
What does it mean if a function is a polynomial?
It means that it has constants and variables that has a form of something like 7x2+2x+5 or something like that. Variables can not be used as exponents though, and exponents have to be whole numbers. Also, variables can not be a denominator.
When multiplying a number exponents that are squared do you add or multiply?
If the base numbers or variables are the same, you add the exponents.
When subtracting integers with variables that have different exponents do you subtract the exponents too?
You do not. The exponent is only subtracted in division.
What are Terms that have identical variables and exponents called?
identical identities
