Question

The product of a monomial and a binomial is a

• A. monomial
• B. binomial
• C. trinomial
• D. none of these

Answer 1

The correct option is B

binomial

As we know that$,$

• Monomial – A monomial is an expression that contains only one term.
• Binomial – A binomial is a polynomial expression that contains exactly two terms. A binomial can be considered as a sum or difference between two or more monomials.
• Trinomial – A trinomial is an expression that is composed of exactly three terms.

Let$,$

• Monomial $=2x$
• Binomial $=x+y$

Then, the product of a monomial and a binomial

$=2x\times \left(x+y\right)$

$=2x^2+2xy$

therefore$,$ The product of a monomial and a binomial is a binomial

Hence$,$ option $\left(B\right)$ is correct.
