Chapter 8.4, Problem 3MCQ

To determine

To determine whether the expression is a monomial, binomial or trinomial.

Answer to Problem 3MCQ

Not polynomial.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

Expression: $\frac{3x}{5y}$

Concept used:

The polynomial can be classified with the number of terms in the expression:

Monomial − A polynomial with only one term

Binomial − A Polynomial with two terms

Trinomial − A polynomial with three terms

Calculation:

Using the above concept, the given expression is not a polynomial.

  $\begin{array}{l}\Rightarrow \frac{3x}{5y}\\ \Rightarrow 3x5y^{-1}\end{array}$

Since, the degree of y is negative.

Conclusion:

Therefore, the given expression is not a polynomial.
