Chloe says that a monomial is an expression that contains a single variable, for example, π₯ plus π₯ squared. Is Chloe correct?
Unfortunately, no, Chloe is not correct. A monomial has one term, not one variable. And a term could be anywhere from π₯, π₯π¦, π₯ squared π¦π§, four π₯π§, and so on. And notice there are no plus or minus signs anywhere. Once we add or subtract more terms, itβs no longer a monomial. So our answer is no, Chloe is not correct.
