What is a monomial?

Back

A monomial is a polynomial with only one term, which can be a constant, a variable, or a product of constants and variables raised to non-negative integer powers.

How do you divide monomials?

Back

To divide monomials, divide the coefficients and subtract the exponents of like bases. For example, \( \frac{a^m}{a^n} = a^{m-n} \).

What is the degree of a monomial?

Back

The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of its variables. For example, the degree of \( 3x^2y^3 \) is \( 2 + 3 = 5 \).

Front

What is the coefficient in a monomial?

Back

The coefficient is the numerical factor in a monomial. For example, in \( 7x^3 \), the coefficient is 7.
