Is the sum of two monomials always a monomial?

Step-by-step explanation:

Sum of two monomials is not necessarily always a monomial.

For example:

Suppose we have two monomials as 2x and 5x.

Adding 2x+5x , we get 7x.

So if two monomials are both like terms then their sum will be a monomial.

Suppose we have two monomials as 3y and 4x

Now these are both monomials but unlike, so we cannot add them together and sum would be 3y + 4x , which is a binomial.

So if we have like terms then the sum is monomial but if we have unlike terms sum is binomial.

Product of monomials:

suppose we have 2x and 5y,

Product : 2x*5y = 10xy ( which is a monomial)

So yes product of two monomials is always a monomial.

step-by-step explanation:

part a. the differences are decreasing, so we know the sequence is not arithmetic. the ratios are constant (=3/4), so we know the sequence is geometric.

part b. from part a, we know the common ratio is 3/4, so each term is 3/4 of the one before. the initial term is the number of gallons at h=1.

g[h] = (3/4)·g[h-1]

g[1] = 384 . . . . initial value required for a recursive definition

part c. the general formula for a geometric sequence is

a[n] = a[1]·r^(n-1)

we have a[1] = 384, r = 3/4, and the term number given by h. the formula that follows is

g[h] = 384·(3/4)^(h-1)

part d. filling in the value and doing the arithmetic, we have

g[12] = 384·(3/4)^11 ≈ 384·0.042235136 ≈ 16.2183 . . gallons

part e. each gallon is 4 quarts, so

16.2183 gal × 4 qt/gal = 64.8732 qt

answer: - (a)

(b) 88 seats

step-by-step explanation:

given: in an auditorium, there are 22 seats in the first row and 28 seats in the second row.

thus first term=

second term=

the number of seats in a row continues to increase by 6 with each additional row.

⇒d= 6

a) given formula :

b)   let the number of seats (n) = 12

substitute n=12 in the explicit rule formed in (a)

∴there are 88 seats in 12 rows.
