would this be consider monomials ? will write in a second... and what would their degree be??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[-\frac{ 3 }{ 7 } mn^2p^5\] and \[\frac{ 5a^2b }{ 8c^3d^2 }\]

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

The first one would be considered a monomial but the second one would not be. To find the degree of the monomial, it is the highest power in it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would the second one not be a monomial because its in a fraction @marissalovescats

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sooo for the first one the degree would be 5 BUT then the second one ??? would it be 3 ??

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

Yes the 2nd one is not a monomial because of the fraction

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

The degree of the 1st one is 5 yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ohhh ok thank you --- what about the second one ?? im thinking three ?? @marissalovescats

OpenStudy (marissalovescats):

The 2nd one doesn't have a degree, it's not s monomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):
