A binominal is a polynominal with two terms, the sum of two monominals. It is common practice to bound binominals by brackets or parenthesis when operated upon.


Simple Operations

  • The binomial $a^2-b^2$ can be factored as a product of two other binomials, $a+b$ and $a-b$.
  • The binomial $a^2+a^2$ can be factored as the product of two complex numbers, $a+bi$ and $a-bi$.
  • A binomial to the nth power can be expanded using the binomial theorem or Pascal's triangle.
