It depends on what you wish to subtract them from. The solution is to write the minuend (what you want to subtract FROM). Then append the binomial or monomial with the sign of each term changed. Then combine like terms.

For example, if you wish to subtract 3x2 - 4x + 6 from sin(x) + 5x, the solution is

sin(x) + 5x - 3x2 + 4x - 6 = sin(x) + x - 3x2 - 6

Basically, the same way you add them. You look for like terms - terms that have exactly the same variable, or combination of variables - and subtract them.

What kind of polynomials are there?

Trinomials, Binomials and Monomials


Monomials Binomials Trinomials and then what comes next?

I think it's just polynomials after that. I don't think there's a quadranomial or anything.

Which of the following is an exaple of a bionominal 2y 2X y 2xy?

All of these are monomials. The binomials are algebraic expressions consisting of two terms. A term is a constant, a variable, or a combination of constants and variables. 2y, 2x, y, and 2xy consisting of only one term, so they are monomials. Examples of binomials: 2 + 5, 2x + 3, 3x + 7y, 2xyz + 7xy,...


What is an expression that may include monomials binomials and more and That has no limit to the number of terms. However the variable if applicable CANNOT appear in the denominator of a fraction.?

A polynomial.


What are the steps and rules for adding and subtracting monomials?

A monomial is a polynomial that has just one term. So to add or subtract monomials, is the same as we add or subtract like terms (terms that have exactly the same variable part). Since we are dealing with monomials, the restriction is that the exponent(s) of the variable(s) must be positive integer(s). Examples of monomials: 10xy, -5xy2, -3x2, 3w3z6, -7xy, -4x2, 2xy2, 9w3z6. So, how to add or subtract them? First detect where the like terms (monomials) are, then group them (write them next to each other), then combine (ad or subtract their coefficients, and write next to the result the common variable part). 10xy -7xy = 3xy (subtract since the coefficients have different sign). -5xy2 +2xy2 = -3xy2 (subtract since the coefficients have different sign). -3x2 -4x2 = -7x2 (add because the coefficients have the same sign). 3w3z6 + 9w3z6 = 12w3z6 (add because the coefficients have the same sign).


Is 5 a monomial?

yes- monomial means having one term, 5, 5x and 13xyz are all monomials 2 +13x, and 34xy- 3z are binomials. ( bi means two)


When multiplying binomials that turn out negative do you add or subtract exponents?

When multiplying numbers with exponents, you add the exponents.


What is important when dividing monomials?

Divide coefficients and subtract exponents of the same variable. EX: (20 x6) / (4 x2) = 5 x4


What are two monomials together?

Two monomials would be a Binomial or Polynomial.


How many terms are in the product of monomials?

The product of monomials is a single term.


What does polynomial have in it?

A polynomial has 3 or more terms. It can have exponents and variables. Example: 24x + 74y - 24z 24x = term 1 74y = term 2 24z = term 3 EDIT: Polynomials can have 1 or 2 terms as well. But those are special, they are monomials and binomials.
