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

2b3d3+10c2+7+5c3d2
7
5c^3d^2
C^3
2d^3

1 answer

In the expression \( 2b^3d^3 + 10c^2 + 7 + 5c^3d^2 \), the terms are the individual parts separated by the plus or minus signs.

The terms in this expression are:

  1. \( 2b^3d^3 \)
  2. \( 10c^2 \)
  3. \( 7 \)
  4. \( 5c^3d^2 \)

Now let's analyze the options you provided:

  1. \( 7 \) - Yes, this is a term in the expression.
  2. \( 5c^3d^2 \) - Yes, this is a term in the expression.
  3. \( C^3 \) - No, this is not a term in the expression (note the correct variable and power are \( c^3 \), and it is not a standalone term).
  4. \( 2d^3 \) - No, this is not a term in the expression (the term involving \( d^3 \) is \( 2b^3d^3 \)).

Therefore, the terms from the options that apply are:

  • \( 7 \)
  • \( 5c^3d^2 \)
