Question

An expression must have a monomial of degree 2 or higher to be a polynomial.

A. True
B. False

Answer 1

True - depends on context

Explanation:

Polynomial means "many terms' and must have 2 or more terms which includes binomials. If this is true, then the expression is false because x+2 is a polynomial specifically binomial without degree 2. This is because we applied the definition of a polynomial loosely.

However, in terms of functions and with s stricter definition then polynomials are expressions with degree 2 or higher usually with 3 or more terms. Then it is true.
