We been doing additional, subtraction right, today lets try the same on monomials. Lets solve a few problem of addition and subtraction of monomials. Do you remember my last post on monomials? I had given you the definition of a monomials.
Monomials:- In algebra a monomial contains combination of numbers, variable and exponents. For more details on monomials, you can go through my last post, as i have given you the definition of monomials in it. The algebraic terms are separated by add sign or sub sign. Eg:- 4xy, -3y etc...
Now lets use addition and subtraction to solve a monomial problem.
When monomial have the same variable and the same exponent, they are called as like term. Addition and subtraction of monomials are done by combining this like term. Lets look at the example below.
Adding monomials:
Problem 1: Add the given monomials terms by using the steps, (- 4ab) + (6ab)
Solution:
Step 1: Write the given terms for monomials,
(- 4ab) + (6ab)
Step 2: By using the signs we have to add the co-efficient.
2ab
This is the required solution for the addition of monomials.
Subtracting monomials:
Problem 2: Subtract the given monomials terms by using the steps, (- 5a) - (- 3a)
Solution:
Step 1: Write the given terms for monomials,
(- 5a) - (- 3a)
Step 2: By using the signs we have to subtract the co-efficient.
-2a
This covers up addition and subtraction of monomials, in my next post i will give you details on division and multiplication. I would remind you again...Friends, please your comments on this
Also you can follow my blogs for Pre calculus Tutorials. I hope this was useful.
