Question

Is it true or false that a bbinomial can have a degree of zero?

Answer 1

No, because any real valued term with degree 0 would be a constant. All constants in an expression can be combined into single term. Therefore if the expression were of degree 0, all the terms would be constants and could be combined into a single term making the expression a monomial.

Answer 2

False. you can never have a degree of 0, instead use 1 as your degree.
so like...
y=5

$y = {5}^{1}$
