Question

which of the following are monomials
a. x-y
b. x^20
c. 13
d. 24+2^2
e.9x
f.2x+12

Answer 1

I think its b,c and e

Answer 2

What about d?

Answer 3

wouldn't that be a binomial not a monomial?

Answer 4

It can be simplified, right?

Answer 5

yeah 24 + 2^2 =28

Answer 6

That represents a particular number just like a numeral, therefore it is a monomial.

Answer 7

B, c, d, and e all satisfy the definition of a monomial being a numeral, a variable, or the product of a numeral and one or more variables.

Answer 8

I got it wrong when I added D

Answer 9

They must be using a different definition of a monomial :(
