what is monomial ???????????
Answers
a polynomial of one term is called as monomial .
Answer
Monomial Definition
A monomial is a type of polynomial, like, binomial and trinomial, which is an algebraic expression having only a single term, which is a non-zero. It consists of only a single term which makes it easy to do the operation of addition, subtraction and multiplication. It consists of either only one variable or one coefficient or product of a variable and a coefficient with exponents as whole numbers, which represent only one term, unlike binomial and trinomial, which consist of two and three terms respectively. It cannot have a variable in the denominator.
Parts of Monomial Expression
The different parts present in the monomial expression are:
Variable: The letters present in the monomial expression.
Coefficient: The number which is multiplied by the variable in the expression
Degree: The sum of the exponents present in the expression
Literal part: The alphabets which are present along with the exponent value in the expression
For example, 4xy2 is a monomial expression.
Here,
the coefficient is 4
Variables are x and y
The degree of the monomial expression = 1+2 = 3
The literal part is xy2
Like, 4x is a monomial example, as it denotes a single term. In the same way, 23, 4x2, 5xy, etc. Are examples but 23+x, 4xy, 5xy-2 are not, as they don’t fulfil the conditions.
It is a product of powers of variables with non- negative integer exponents, such that, if there is a single variable x, then it has either a 1 or a power of xn of x, with n as positive integer and if for the product of multiple variables such that XYZ, then the monomials can be given in the form of xaybzc where a,b,c are non-negative integers.
Now, in terms of the coefficient, it is defined as the term with a non zero coefficient. The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of all the included variables which forms monomials. For example, xyz2 have three degrees, 1,1 and 2. Therefore, the degree of xyz2 is 1+1+2 = 4.
Monomial Degree
The degree of a monomial expression or the monomial degree can be found by adding the exponents of the variables in the expression. While calculating the monomial degree, it includes the exponent values of the variables and it also includes the implicit exponent of 1 for the variables, which usually does not appear in the expression.
For example, 2xy3. In this, the exponent value of 1 is not visible in the expression. Thus, the degree of the expression is 1+3 = 4. In case, the monomial expression is a constant value. The degree of the non-zero constant is given as 0.
The degree of the monomial expression is also called the order of the monomial.
Monomial Operations
The arithmetic operations which are performed on the monomial expression are addition, subtraction, multiplication and division.
Addition of Two Monomials:
The addition of two monomials with the same literal part will result in a monomial expression
For example, the addition of 4ab + 6ab is 10 ab.
Subtraction of Two Monomials:
The subtraction of two monomials with a similar literal part will result in a monomial expression
For example, the subtraction of 10xyz – 3xyz is 7xyz.
Multiplication of Two Monomials
The multiplication of two monomials will also result in monomial
For example, the product of 3x2y and 4z is 12x2yz
While multiplying two monomials with the same variables, then add the exponent value of the variables.
For example, the product of a3 and a4 is given as
(a3)(a4) = a3+4 = a7.
Division of Two Monomials:
While dividing two monomials with the same variables, subtract the exponent value of the variables.
For example, the division of a9 by a3 is given as
(a9) / (a3) = a9-3 = a6.
Monomial Examples
Let us consider some of the variables and examples:
p – One variable and degree is one.
5p2 – with 5 as coefficient and degree as two.
p3q – with two variables and degree as 4(3+1).
-6ty – two variable t and y and a coefficient -6
Let us consider x3+3x2+4x+12 is a polynomial, where x3,3x2,4x and 12 are the single terms and called as monomials.
