Worked practice questions

A term is defined as a constant, or the product of a constant and:

  1. One or more variables
  2. One or more equations
  3. Two or more fractions
  4. Three or more graphs
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. One or more variables

1. Polynomials are built out of terms. 2. A term is a constant on its own. 3. It can also be the product of a constant and one or more variables. 4. Terms combine by addition or subtraction to form polynomials. _Source: OpenStax Elementary Algebra 2e (CC BY 4.0), Ch 6 'Polynomials', sections 6.1-6.8_
