Polynomial: Introduction

Is the expression a monomial?

• Yes, because the exponent on the variable k is a positive 2.

• No, because the variable k cannot be in the denominator.

• Yes, because the variable k can be in the denominator if the exponent is positive.

• No, because the exponent on the variable k is a positive 2.

Is the expression a monomial?

• Yes, because any number, negative or positive, rational or irrational can be a monomial.

• No, because the number has a fraction for an exponent.

• Yes, because the number has to have a positive exponent.

• No, because 16^⅓ is an irrational number.

Is the expression a monomial?

• Yes, because any number can be a monomial and the variable x has a positive, whole number exponent of 1.

• No, because this expression has two terms. It is a binomial.

Is the expression a monomial?

• Yes, because the exponent on the variable x is a whole number.

• No, because the exponent on the variable x is negative.

Is the expression a monomial?

• Yes, because the exponent on the variable x is positive.

• No, because the exponent on the variable x is a fraction.

Is the expression a monomial?

• Yes, because the variables x and y are not in the denominator and the exponent on both variables x and y is a positive 1.

• No, because the variable cannot be in a fraction.

Is the expression a monomial?

• Yes, because x⁰ = 1 and any number negative or positive, rational or irrational can be a monomial.

• No, because the exponent 0 on x is neither negative or positive.
