What is the Degree of a Monomial - Algebra I

The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of its variables. The degree of a non-zero constant is 0. Zero has no degree.

A monomial is a real number, a variable, or a product of a real number and one or more variables with whole-number exponents.

Examples:
5x has a degree of 1. 5x = 5x^1 so the exponent is 1
6x^2y^3 has a degree of 5. The exponents are 2 and 3. Their sum is 5.
4 has a degree of 0. 4 = 4x^0. The degree of a nonzero constant is zero.

Alternate Interior Angles

Introduction

Alternate Interior Angles are angles that are between the two lines (parallel) but on opposite sides of the Transversal Line.

Performing Addition and Subtraction in Algebraic Expression

Preview

In doing algebraic expressions you will come across addition and subtraction and that is nothing else but normal addition and subtraction as you always do (which I am pretty sure everyone knows how to do : )
One thing you need to know is that you will always perform the addition subtraction according to to what comes first from left to right. So for example if you get the expression 6+6-7+5-5 first you will solve addition and the first addition problem is 6+6 and that will be 12, then we write the expression as 12-7+5-5.You do subtraction next so first is 12-7 equals 5. Now we are left with
5+5-5. 5+5 is 10-5 is 5. So we get an answer of 5!

6+6-7+5-5=
12-7+5-5=
5+5-5=
10-5=
5

Tips to Evaluate Algebraic Expression

Preview

Algebraic expressions can be tricky sometimes, and especially when you just started learning about them you might need some tips and some of the tips to evaluate algebraic expressions is that you should...

• Always work out your exponents.
• Before starting always write down the order of operations division, multiplication, addition, subtraction at the top of your paper.
• Not all expressions are P.E.M.D.A.S because they might not have parenthesis and exponents.
