This document discusses algebraic expressions and identities. It defines expressions as combinations of numbers and variables connected by operation signs. Expressions can be monomials containing one term, binomials containing two terms, or trinomials containing three terms. Terms are separated parts of expressions and factors are the numbers within terms. Coefficients are factors without signs. The document also covers adding, subtracting and multiplying expressions, as well as defining identities as equalities that are true for all variable values. It provides examples of standard identities for the sum and difference of squares and multiplying the sum and difference of two terms.
