Algebraic Expressions

  • An algebraic expression combines constants and variables using mathematical operations (+, -, ×, ÷).
  • A monomial has one term.
  • A binomial has two terms.
  • A trinomial has three terms.

Factors of Algebraic Expressions

  • Factors are parts of an expression.
  • Factorization is representing an expression as a product of its factors.
  • Numerical coefficients of factors are multiplied to find the total coefficient.
  • Factors of a monomial can be written as a product (e.g., 8a²b = 1 × 8a²b, 8a²b = 2a² × 4b, etc.)
  • Common factors are factors common to two or more monomials.
  • The highest common factor (H.C.F.) for monomials is the greatest common factor of the coefficients and the highest power of each variable
  • Steps to find the H.C.F. of monomials:
    • Find the H.C.F. of the numerical coefficients.
