Question

Check whether $6^y$ is a monomial or not.

• A. $6^y$ is a monomial
• B. $6^y$ is not a monomial

Answer 1

The correct option is B $6^y$ is not a monomial

$\underset{–}{DefinitionofaMonomial:}$

Monomial is a type of expression which has only a single non-zero term in it. It consists of different parts like the coefficient, the variable, and its degree.


$\underset{–}{IdentificationofaMonomial:}$

A monomial expression must have a single non-zero term. The exponents of the term must be a non-zero whole number.


We are given with an expression $6^y$. It contains a variable exponent $y$. It is not a monomial.

Therefore, option (b.) is the correct answer.
