Answer:
Polynomial : Yes
Degree: 1
Terms: 1
Name: Monomial
Explanation:
Polynomial is an expression consisting of
- Variables
- Coefficients
- Its operations are addition, subtraction, multiplication
- It has non-negative integer exponents of variables
- The degree of the polynomial is the highest degree of any of the terms
Examples:
3x² ⇒ 2nd degree monomial (greatest exponent is 2 and it has 1 term)
2x - 5 ⇒ 1st degree binomial (greatest exponent is 1 and it has 2 terms)
3x (7x³ - 2x² + 5) ⇒ 4th degree trinomial (greatest exponent is 4 and it has 3 terms)
Now let us solve the problem
∵ The expression is
- Re-write
as
∴ The coefficient is
and the variable is x
∵ The expression has coefficient and variable with non-negative
integer exponent
∴ The expression is polynomial
∵ The exponent of the variable x is 1
∴ The degree of the polynomial is 1
∵ There is no operations in the polynomial
∴ The polynomial has 1 term
∵ The polynomial of one term called monomial
∴ It is monomial
