Question

Which of the following statement about each monomial is true? (Assume x is the variable) I. (3x/4)^2 is a second-degree monomial with coefficient 3/4. II. -32 is a zeroth-degree monomial with coefficient -32. III. (2/x)is a third-degree monomial with coefficient 8. (A) I and II (B) I and III(C) II only (D) II and III

Answer 1

I. (3x/4)^2 is a second-degree monomial with coefficient 3/4

`((3x)/(4))^2=(9)/(16)x^2`

So, it is a second degree monomial with coefficient 9/16 and not 3/4 as stated in the statement.

The statement is wrong.

II. -32 is a zeroth-degree monomial with coefficient -32.

-32 is surely a zero degree monomial with coefficient -32.

The statement is Correct

III. (2/x)is a third-degree monomial with coefficient 8.

2/x is not a third degree monomial.

the statement is wrong

The correct answer is (C) II only
