Is the sum of two monomials always a monomial? is their product always a monomial?

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.

the median here is 25. your lowest value is 14 and highest value is 48. to find the third quartile, find the medium number in between 25 and 48 which would be 42 i believe.

the value of v.w= -12.

step-by-step explanation:

we are given three vector r,v and w as:

r = < 5, -5, -2> ; v = < 2, -8, -8> ; w = < -2, 6, -5>

we know that r,v and w could also be represented as:

r=5i-5j-2k

v=2i-8j-8k

and w= -2i+6j-5k

where i,j and k are the unit vectors of x,y and z-axis respectively.

also we know that it has the following property:

i.i=1 ; j.j=1; k.k=1

and i.=j.i=i.k=k.i=j.k=k.j=0

i.e. when we multiply two vectors or we find it's dot product we need to only multiply the components of x coordinates with each other; y with each other and z with each other.

hence, v.w= (2i-8j- -2i+6j-5k)

                  = 2×(-2)+(-8)×(6)+(-8)×(-5)

                  = -4-48+40

                  = -12

hence, v.w= -12
