Question

Which ARE monomials???

Answer 1

We have two rules to determine a monomial:

1. a monomial is a number, variable or product of both.

2. they cannot be divided by a variable

checking for each option:

A. 16 (a number) , yes its a monomial.

B. 2x⁻¹

we can simplify it as 2/x

variable in denominator, so its not a monomial.

C. -x⁹ (variable), yes a monomial.

D. 3x^2 (product of number and variable) , yes its a monomial.

E. √x (variable) , yes its a monomial.

F. x² -2 , (two terms) , so not a monomial

A. Yes.
