Types of Algebraic expression

• Monomial Expression
• Binomial Expression
• Polynomial Expression

Monomial Expression

An expression that has only one term is termed a Monomial expression.

Examples of monomial expressions include 4x⁴, 2xy, 2x, 8y, etc.

Binomial Expression

An algebraic expression which is having two terms and is unlike is termed a binomial expression.  

Examples of binomial include 4xy + 8, xyz + x², etc.

Polynomial Expression

An expression that has more than one term with non-negative integral exponents of a variable is termed a polynomial expression.

Examples of polynomial expression include ax + by + ca,  x³ + 5x + 3, etc.

The basic concept of algebra taught us how to express an unknown value using letters such as x, y, z, etc.  These letters are termed here as variables. This expression can be a combination of both variables and constants.  Any value that is placed before and multiplied by a variable is termed a coefficient. An idea of expressing numbers using letters or alphabets without specifying their actual values is termed an algebraic expression.
