Question

Determine whether 52c2y4 is a monomial, binomial, trinomial, or other polynomial.

Answer 1

Answer: Monomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

Ok, when we have a polynomial with only one term, this is a monomial.

If the polynomial has two terms, this is a binomial.

If the polynomial has 3 terms, this is a trinomial.

And so on.

In this particular case we have:

52*c^2*y^4

Where c and y may be variables.

We can see that here we have only one term, so this would be a monomial.

(notice that the number of variables does not affect the type of polynomial in this case, only the number of terms)
