Which of the following are terms in this expression? Select all that apply.

b3+c2
B^3
7c^2
9c^2
C

1 answer

In the expression \( b^3 + c^2 \), the terms are the parts that are added or subtracted. In this case, the terms are \( b^3 \) and \( c^2 \).

Now reviewing the options you provided:

  1. b3+c2 - This is not a term. It represents the entire expression.
  2. B^3 - This is a term (if we interpret \( B \) and \( b \) as the same variable).
  3. 7c^2 - This is a term by itself.
  4. 9c^2 - This is also a term by itself.
  5. C - This is a single variable and can be considered a term, depending on the context.

Thus, the terms that apply are:

  • B^3
  • 7c^2
  • 9c^2
  • C

So the relevant terms from your list are B^3, 7c^2, 9c^2, and C.
