1 answer:
Answer:
(a) Monomial
(b) Cubic
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
Required
Classify
<u>By number of terms</u>
The above polynomial is single term.
Single term polynomials are referred to as monomial
<u>By degrees</u>
To determine the degree, we consider the variable farthest from the constant.
In this case, n is farther from 9 than m.
And the power or degree of n is 3.
Polynomials with degree 3 are referred to as cubic polynomial

In mathematics there is a rule of exponents where we can "distribute" the powers/exponents in the numerator and denominator of any expression. Therefore, given an expression as , the exponent n can be "distributed" as:
.
In our case, the power, n=11; a=7 and b=4. Thus, the expression , can be written as
.
Thus, out of the given options, option A is the correct option.
