Chapter A.3, Problem 11AYU

To determine

To find: Whether the expression is a monomial. If it is, name the variable and the coefficient, and give the degree of the monomial. If it is not a monomial, state why not.

Answer to Problem 11AYU

Monomial; variable $x$; coefficient 2; degree 3.

Explanation of Solution

Given:

$2x^3$

Calculation:

A monomial in one variable is the product of a constant and a variable raised to a nonnegative integer power.

Given, $2x^3$. Therefore the expression is monomial, variable is $x$ with coefficient 2 and degree 3.
