binomial

a sum of two monomials, such as 3x2 + 7

boundary line

a line that represents the edge of a linear inequality: if points along the boundary line are included in the solution set, then a solid line is used; if points along the boundary line are not included in the solution set, then a dashed line is used

bounded region

the set of solutions that are true for all of the linear inequalities under consideration
