Given the term 3x², select all of the like terms listed below. question 3 options: a.-2x²

b. 3x

c.3x³

d.5x²

e. x²

A.-

D.

E.

Step-by-step explanation:

Like terms must have the same variable, in this case x, and the same exponent, in this case 2. Since the original term is , the like terms will be those that contain , regardless of whether their coefficient or sign is different.

Analyzing the options:

A.-

We have the same variable and the same exponent , so it is a like term.

B.

You have the same variable x but not the same exponent. So it's not a like term of

C.

Same variable but as in the previous case, the exponent is different, it is a 3 and it should be a 2, so it is not a similar or like term.

D.

In this option we do have the , so it is a like term of  

E.

It is also a like term because it contains the .

In summary the like terms are:

A.-

D.

E.

hi there!

first we need to find out how much they are adding to each number to make the next number.

ex: 4 + 4 = 8, 8 + 8 = 16, and so on.

so continuing with 32,

32 + 32 = 64

64 + 64 = 128

128 + 128 = 256

256 + 256 = 512

4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256, 512

the 8th term of the sequence will be 512

hope this ! ~
