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 20AYU
Not a monomial; the exponent one of the variable is not a nonnegative integer.
Explanation of Solution
Given:
Calculation:
A monomial in one variable is the product of a constant and a variable raised to a nonnegative integer power.
