Exercise 70 Page 15

Try to break the expression down into terms, then break those terms into factors.

Example Solution: k cubed plus 13

Practice makes perfect
Our approach to representing the given algebraic expression verbally will be to break it down into terms, factors, and operations. k^3 + 13

In this expression, one term is being added to another term. Let's break it down into more digestible pieces.

Algebraic Term Verbal Translation
k^3 k cubed
+ plus
13 13

Now that we have translated each of the pieces, let's bring it all together. k^3 + 13 k cubed plus 13. Please note that it is often possible to express the same algebraic operations in multiple ways, so our translation is only one of many possible correct translations.
