Chapter 5: Q.79 (page 499)

Ariana thinks the sum 6y2+5y4is 11y6. What is wrong with her reasoning?

Short Answer

Expert verified

The degree of the term is not same, so we cannot add the term.

Step by step solution

01

Step 1. Given Information 

Ariana thinks the sum 6y2+5y4is 11y6.

We have to find what is wrong with her reasoning.

02

Step 2. The Binomial is 6y2+ 5y4 and according to Ariana the sum of the binomial is 11y6.

We know that we simplify expressions by combining like terms and like terms must have the same variables with the same degree.

In the given binomial one term has degree 2and the second term has degree 4. The degree of the term is not same, so we cannot add the term.
