They are terms in which a variable is raised to the same power (index) in both terms.
So x2y and -27x2y are like terms but not xy2.

How many terms can a polynomial have?
As many as you like. The highest power of the variable in question (usually x) defines the degree of the polynomial. If the degree is n, the polynomial can have n+1 terms. (If there are more then the polynomial can be reduced.) But there is NO LIMIT to the value of n.
What is a polynomial with four terms?
First off, it is NOT A QUINTIC! Typically a polynomial of four or more terms is called "a polynomial of n terms", where n is the number of terms. Only the one, two, and three term polynomials are referred to by a particular naming convention.
A polynomial with exactly 3 terms?
A polynomial with three terms is called a trinomial. Example: x² + 16 + 18 is a trinomial. It has three terms (x²), (16), and (18)
What is a polynomial with exactly three terms?
A trinomial
What is the basic difference between algebraic expression and polynomial?
A polynomial is a type of algebraic expression. They differ in the number of terms that contain variables. An algebraic expression has at least 1 variable, while a polynomial has multiple terms with variables in it.
What is the polynomial of 2 x?
this term 2x is not a polynomial. this term is a monomial. since only one term was listed it can not be a polynomial. A polynomial is like four or more terms. a trinomial is three terms and a binomial is two terms.
What is a polynomial that doesn't have any like terms?
zero polynomial which is 0 and only 0 = 0.
How many terms can a polynomial have?
As many as you like. The highest power of the variable in question (usually x) defines the degree of the polynomial. If the degree is n, the polynomial can have n+1 terms. (If there are more then the polynomial can be reduced.) But there is NO LIMIT to the value of n.
How many terms does the polynomial have?
As many as you like. A polynomial in 1 variable, and of degree n, can have n+1 terms where n is any positive integer.
What is the name for a polynomial with 5 terms?
Quintinomial, is a polynomial with 5 terms
What is the polynomial having two terms?
A polynomial with two terms is called a binomial.
What algebraic expression has no like terms and no parentheses?
A polynomial is one possible answer.
The greater degree of the terms in a polynomial is called?
The degree of the polynomial.
How many terms are in the polynomial abc+ e-fg +h squared 2?
The terms in a polynomial are seperated by a + or - So in given polynomial there are 4 terms.... abc , e, fg and h²
Are polynomial and trinomial the same?
A trinomial is a polynomial. All trinomials are polynomials but the opposite is not true. a trinomial= three unlike terms. a polynomial= "many" unlike terms.
What is the main difference between a polynomial and a binomial?
The only difference is that a binomial has two terms and a polynomial has three or more terms.
What is a polynomial with four terms?
First off, it is NOT A QUINTIC! Typically a polynomial of four or more terms is called "a polynomial of n terms", where n is the number of terms. Only the one, two, and three term polynomials are referred to by a particular naming convention.
