Identify the following as an expression or an equation:

2x^3 - 4x^2
x - 3x^2 - 4
5^x = 25
2x + 2π

1 answer

Let's identify each of the provided items as either an expression or an equation:

  1. 2x^3 - 4x^2: This is an expression because it does not contain an equality sign.

  2. x - 3x^2 - 4: This is also an expression, as there is no equality sign present.

  3. 5^x = 25: This is an equation because it contains an equality sign (the "=" sign).

  4. 2x + 2π: This is an expression, as it does not include an equality sign.

In summary:

  • 2x^3 - 4x^2: Expression
  • x - 3x^2 - 4: Expression
  • 5^x = 25: Equation
  • 2x + 2π: Expression
