A. True or False
Write the letter of your answer on the space provided.
1. Term is also known as “Variable”.
2. The number alone (without a letter) was called “Constant”.
3. The product of sum and difference is “Difference of two squares”.
4. The letter in the given expression is also known as the “Coefficient”.
5. “Exponent” is the number the letter.
6. The product of the square of a binomial is “Perfect square trinomial”.
7. “Coefficient” is the number that is with a letter.
8. “Degree” is the highest exponent in the given expression.
9. “Foil Method” can be used in adding polynomials.
10. When subtracting polynomial to another polynomial, you have to distribute first
the negative sign.
11. When combining like terms with different signs, we subtract the number, then
copy the sign of the smaller number.
