Early Intro:
Monomial: A single term made of numbers and/or variables multiplied (e.g., 3xΒ², -5ab, 7
Term: A part of an expression separated by + or β (e.g., in 2x + 5y - 3, the terms are 2x, 5y, -3).
Coefficient: The number in front of a variable (e.g., in 7xΒ³, the coefficient is 7).
Expression Example:
4xΒ² + 2y - 7
β’ Terms: 4xΒ², 2y, -7
β’ Coefficients: 4, 2, -7
Equation Example:
4x + 3 = 11
β’ Terms (left side): 4x, 3
β’ Coefficient: 4
