Multiplying A Monomial and A Trinomial - Algebra I

In this video, you will learn how to multiply a monomial by a trinomial. A monomial is a single term whereas a trinomial is three terms. When you multiply a monomial and a trinomial, you are simply distributing the monomial to each of the terms in the trinomial. The product that you get is your final answer. When you distribute, you are actually applying the distributive property.

What is the Degree of a Monomial - Algebra I

The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of its variables. The degree of a non-zero constant is 0. Zero has no degree.

A monomial is a real number, a variable, or a product of a real number and one or more variables with whole-number exponents.

Examples:
5x has a degree of 1. 5x = 5x^1 so the exponent is 1
6x^2y^3 has a degree of 5. The exponents are 2 and 3. Their sum is 5.
4 has a degree of 0. 4 = 4x^0. The degree of a nonzero constant is zero.
