Key Topics to Revise

1

Constants and Variables

  • A constant is a symbol that has a fixed numerical value, such as 5, -3, or 2/7.
  • A variable is a symbol that can take different values, such as x, y, or z.
  • In an expression like 3x, 3 is a constant and x is a variable.
2

Terms and Like/Unlike Terms

  • A term is a constant, a variable, or a product or quotient of constants and variables.
  • Like terms have the same algebraic factors (same variables raised to same powers), e.g., 2xy and -5xy.
  • Unlike terms have different algebraic factors, e.g., 3x and 4y.
3

Types of Algebraic Expressions

  • Monomial: An expression with one term, e.g., 5x, -7ab.
  • Binomial: An expression with two unlike terms, e.g., 2x + 3y.
  • Trinomial: An expression with three unlike terms, e.g., x² + 2x + 1.
4

Coefficients and Degree of Polynomials

  • A coefficient is the numerical factor in a term, e.g., in 5x, 5 is the coefficient.
  • The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of its variables.
  • The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree among its terms.
