CBSEENMA7000995

State whether a given pair of terms is of like or unlike terms.

(i) 1, 100 (ii) -7x,52x (iii) − 29x, − 29y

(iv) 14xy, 42yx (v) 4m2p, 4mp2 (vi) 12xz, 12 x2z2

Solution

The terms which have the same algebraic factors are called like terms. However, when the terms have different algebraic factors, these are called unlike terms.

(i) 1, 100

Like

(ii) − 7x52x

Like

(iii) −29x, −29y

Unlike

(iv) 14xy, 42yx

Like

(v) 4m2p, 4mp2

Unlike

(vi) 12xz, 12x2z2

Unlike
