Algebraic expressions

Here below i have a few points which will give you some facts on algebraic expressions, these facts are useful to work on problems on algebraic expression. Lets learn the definition of algebraic expressions.

Definition of Algebraic expressions:- The expression used in algebra which is made up of signs and symbols is called algebraic expressions.

In algebra, letters used to denote numbers are called literal numbers. A literal number is called a variable or an unknown term. A variable does not have a value of its own. It takes the value assigned to it. It takes both positive and negative values. Like terms have the same variables and unlike terms have different variables.

Example:- Look at this b² expression, here b is called the base and 2 is called the index or the exponent or the power.

I have posted earlier about monomial, check that out. A monomial expression consists of only one term, a binomial expression has two terms and trinomial expression has three terms and the polynomial expression has four terms.

This post has given you a complete information on the definition of algebraic expressions and the entire concept, this will help you solve algebraic problems. Do you have some more topics that you want to be discussed? Let me know.
