What is a monomial function?

1 Answer

A monomial is a mathematical expression which is made up of only one term.

It cannot contain any addition or subtraction signs or a negative exponent.

These are monomials:

  • #a^2#
  • #6a^2b^4#
  • #-6x^2y^4#

These are not monomials: (they are polynomials)

  • #b^3+c#
  • #5x^-3#
  • #5x^3-x^4#
