What is a term in a polynomial?

A polynomial is a type of algebraic expression in which the exponents of all variables should be a whole number.

Answer: A term is a variable alone (or) a constant alone (or) it can be a combination of variables and constants by the operation of multiplication or division.

Let's learn about the term in a polynomial.

Explanation:

• A symbol that doesn't have a fixed value is called a variable
• A symbol that has a fixed numerical value is called a constant. All numbers are constants.
• A term is a variable alone (or) a constant alone (or) it can be a combination of variables and constants by the operation of multiplication or division. Some examples of terms are 3a²,  -(2x/3), √(5s), etc.

Thus, we have seen terms in a polynomial in detail.
