Question

Identify the expression as a numerical expression or a variable expression. For a variable expression, name the variable.

× 8


variable expression; there is no variable.


numerical expression


variable expression; h is the variable.


variable expression; i is the variable.

Answer 1

The expression "× 8" appears to be incomplete as it doesn't provide a clear variable or numerical component. Assuming it is meant to represent a multiplication involving a variable, let's clarify.

If the expression is something like "h × 8" or "i × 8," then it would indeed be a variable expression, and "h" or "i" would be the variable respectively.

However, based on the options given:

1. **variable expression; there is no variable.** - This statement is contradictory since if it is a variable expression, there should be a variable present.
2. **numerical expression** - This does not fit as it does not represent a number.
3. **variable expression; h is the variable.** - This is true if the full expression was "h × 8."
4. **variable expression; i is the variable.** - This is true if the full expression was "i × 8."

Based on the context of your question and provided options, if the expression is simply "× 8," it is not clearly a variable expression because it doesn't specifically identify a variable. Therefore, none of the provided options would be accurate unless more context is given regarding what should precede the "×." Could you clarify if there's more to the expression?
