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 (e.g., 3x^2, -5, 7y).

What is a binomial?

Back

A binomial is a polynomial with exactly two terms, which can be separated by a plus or minus sign (e.g., x + 2, 3x^2 - 4).
