Question

When we subtract a monomial from a trinomial, then answer can be a polynomial. State whether the statement given is True or False.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Explanation.

• Monomial – A monomial is an expression that contains only one term.
• Binomial – A binomial is a polynomial expression that contains exactly two terms.
• Trinomial – A trinomial is an expression that is composed of exactly three terms.
• Polynomial expression – An expression with more than one term with non-negative integral exponents of a variable is known as a polynomial.

When we subtract a monomial from a trinomial, then the answer can be binomial or polynomial.

For example: Subtracting $x^2$ from $x+y+xy$ we obtain $x+y+xy-x^2$ which is a polynomial.

Hence, the given statement is True.
