Question

(i) Give an example of a monomial of degree 5.
(ii) Give an example of a binomial of degree 8.
(iii) Give an example of a trinomial of degree 4.
(iv) Give an example of a monomial of degree 0.

Answer 1

(i) A polynomial having one term is called a monomial. Since the degree of required monomial is 5, so the highest power of x in the monomial should be 5.
An example of a monomial of degree 5 is 2x⁵.
(ii) A polynomial having two terms is called a binomial. Since the degree of required binomial is 8, so the highest power of x in the binomial should be 8.
An example of a binomial of degree 8 is 2x⁸ − 3x.
(iii) A polynomial having three terms is called a trinomial. Since the degree of required trinomial is 4, so the highest power of x in the trinomial should be 4.
An example of a trinomial of degree 4 is 2x⁴ − 3x + 5.
(iv) A polynomial having one term is called a monomial. Since the degree of required monomial is 0, so the highest power of x in the monomial should be 0. It will be a constant polynomial.
An example of a monomial of degree 0 is 5.
