Here’s the placement of each statement based on their relevance to algebraic expressions, variables, coefficients, and mathematical operations:
-
Coefficient goes before the variable
- This is an accurate statement regarding algebraic expressions.
-
An algebraic expression has an exponent
- This is true, as many algebraic expressions include variables raised to a power (exponents).
-
An algebraic expression has a variable
- This is a fundamental characteristic of an algebraic expression.
-
An algebraic expression has an equal sign
- This statement is not true for algebraic expressions, as they do not include an equal sign. An equation includes an equal sign.
-
3m is bigger than 2y
- This is an inequality statement rather than a property of algebraic expressions or variables.
-
A variable is a capital letter
- This statement is misleading. A variable can be represented by both capital and lowercase letters.
-
x to the zero power = 1
- This is a true mathematical statement, as any non-zero number raised to the zero power equals 1.
To summarize placements:
- Algebraic expression descriptions: 1, 2, 3
- Statement about equations: 4
- Inequality statement: 5
- Misleading variable statement: 6
- Mathematical truth: 7
