What is a Mononomial - Algebra I

Expression Definition: A mathematical phrase that has terms that can be constants, variables, operators and exponents.
Lets say we have expression
100+x-3xy+y/3+9x^2y^3


Monomial: A single term that can be
A Real number such as 2,-3, 100,2.5,2/3
A Variable such as x,y,z
A product of Real number and a variable or variables with whole number exponents
such as 4x,,4xy, 9x^2, 9xy^3, x/4

Classifying Polynomials - Algebra I

In this video, you will learn how to classify a polynomial. A polynomial can be classified within two categories. The first category is based on the number of terms, and the second is based on the name using the degree of the polynomial. A polynomial is a mathematical phrase that includes more than one term. The degree of a polynomial is the sum of the exponents of the greatest term. Polynomial can be monomials, binomial, or trinomials. A polynomial can also be a constant, linear, cubic, quadratic, or fourth degree.

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.
