KnowraBinomial (algebra)Binomial (algebra)A polynomial with exactly two terms, such as x + 1 or 3a − 2b. Its terms are separated by addition or subtraction.BriefConnectPolynomial: An algebraic expression formed from variables, coefficients, and nonnegative integer powers of variables. A binomial is the two-term case of this broader kind of expression.Distributive property: The rule a(b + c) = ab + ac, connecting multiplication with addition. It expands products involving binomials into sums of terms.Linear equation: An equation in which each variable has degree at most one. Setting a linear binomial equal to a value produces a basic linear equation.Trinomial: A polynomial with exactly three terms. It differs from a binomial by one additional term.Monomial: A polynomial with exactly one term. It differs from a binomial by having one term instead of two.Factoring: Rewriting an expression as a product of simpler expressions. A binomial can often be rewritten as a product, exposing its structure.Quadratic equation: An equation whose highest power of the variable is two. Factored quadratic equations often contain binomials as their linear factors.Rational expression: A quotient of two polynomials, with a nonzero denominator. A quotient is not itself a binomial merely because its numerator has two terms.Term (mathematics): A single component of an expression, separated from other components by addition or subtraction. A binomial contains exactly two such components.Difference of squares: The identity a² − b² = (a − b)(a + b). It gives a standard factorization for a binomial whose terms are squares.Show all 20Linked from 4 pagesShow all 4
