Answers
(i) x
(ii) 3x^{20}+4
(iii) x^{2}+2x+5
Solution
Monomial: It is an algebraic expression consisting of only one term.
Example: 2x
Binomial means consisting of exactly two terms. These terms should not be like terms.
For example: x^{2}+1 is a binomial
x + 2x is not a binomial as these are like terms.
Trinomial means consisting of exactly three terms. These terms should not be like terms.
For example: x^{2}+2x+1 is a trinomial
x + 2x is not a binomial as these are like terms.
Degree: Degree of an expression is the highest power of the monomial present in the expression with non-zero coefficient
(i) monomial of degree 1:
2x, x, y, 7y etc.
(ii) binomial of degree 20:
3x^{20}+4
(iii) Trinomial of degree 2:
x^{2}+2x+5
