Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The question does not provide an expression to determine if it is a polynomial or not. Therefore, the only valid answer is B, which indicates that a monomial is a type of polynomial. A polynomial is a sum of two or more terms where each term consists of a coefficient and a variable raised to a non-negative integer power. A monomial is a polynomial with one term, which satisfies this definition. Based on the given expression, it only consists of one term, therefore, it is a monomial.
