Term (mathematics) From Kathleen Valencia of Republic Central Colleges (Angeles City)
A term is a mathematical expression which may form a separable part of an equation, a series, or another expression.
[edit]In elementary mathematics, a term is either a single number or variable, or the product of several numbers or variables, separated from another term by a + or − sign in an overall expression. For example, inDefinition3 + 4x + 5wyz
3, 4x, and 5wyz are all terms.
In the context of polynomials, sometimes term is used for a monomial with a coefficient: to 'collect like terms' in a polynomial is the basic operation of making it a linear combination of distinctmonomials.
A series is often represented as the sum of a sequence of terms.
In general mathematical use, however, term is not limited to additive expressions. Individual factors in an expression representing a product are multiplicative terms. Indeed, individual elements of any mathematical expression may be referred to as terms. Terms are numbers separated by the operational signs of addition and subtraction in an expression. For example, in 6 + 3x - 2, 6,3x, and 2 are all terms.
Terms also appear in logic. A basic definition is two numbers and an operation
[edit]Specific names for termsaddition and subtraction- Addend
- Minuend and subtrahendare the first and second terms, respectively, in subtraction

The difference between algebra 2 and college algebra?
Somtimes there is very little difference! In College algebra you cover most of the same topics but go into a little more depth. Also, you are expected to do a little more by yourself. In many classes, you will find more word problems and applications. Some of the problems might be a little harder too. All in all, they are very similar and I teach college algebra so I know.
Is Pre Algebra the same as Algebra 1?
No. Pre-Algebra is taught to provide the ability to do certain mathematical equations before doing the more challenging math of Algebra I.
How old should you be to learn algebra?
Some 7th graders do Algebra, but 8th graders are supposed to.
What types of algebra are there?
There are mainly two types of Algebra. Algebra 1 and Algebra II. Some 8th graders and most 9th graders take Algebra I, and then either take Algebra II as a 10th or 11th grader. It depends on the school in which year the students take the two types.
Is there an Algebra 3?
Yes there is an algebra 3, but some schools don't have it and they just go to Pre-Calculus.
Why algebra not pointless?
Look at the example problems in any algebra book. Though some of the examples may be a bit far-fetched, many of the examples are similar to problems that scientists and engineers need to solve in the real world.
What are some examples of sets in algebra?
set of real number....
What are some algebra terms that begin with the letter D?
there is : Domain , discriminant,decimles...
How can algebraic expressions be simplified?
In many ways. It really depends on the algebraic expression. If several terms are added/subtracted, you can usually combine similar terms (terms that have the same combination of variables). If variables are multiplied, you can combine the same variable, adding the corresponding exponents. Sometimes expressions get simpler if you factor them; sometimes you have to multiply out (in other words, the opposite of factoring). Quite frequently, you have to use a combination of methods to simplify expressions. Take an algebra book, and look at some of the examples.
How do i Simplify big algebra fractions?
It would've been better if you had some examples. There are infinite numbers of fractions
How will you remember the properties of Algebra?
There are many different areas within algebra: linear algebra, algebraic structures, algebraic geometry, vector algebra and so on. Some properties are valid in only some of these and not in others. You need to understand what the properties mean and perhaps keep in mind one or two examples where the property is valid.
What are some examples of unlimited liability in business terms?
Some examples are Union Bank of Blair. Blair, Wisconsin.
What are some examples of math projects?
its heading may be ......................... algebra etc. under number& sphere etc. under geometry
What is some examples of terms and symbols in a chemical equation?
Examples: NaCl, H2, =, +, ----------------->, ↔, (s), etc.
What are some algebra terms that begin with the letter J?
jacobian'J' can be used as a variable, just like x and y. Other than that, I know of no algebraic terms beginning with j.
What is tropical math?
Tropical math is a kind of arithmetic and algebra in which addition of two number is their minimum and multiplication is their sum. This has some properties similar to ordinary arithmetic and algebra but other properties are different.
What are some examples of contrary terms?
example:rich-poorcheap-expensivefat-thin
