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
