An algebraic expression that contains only one term is called a monomial.
The meaning of monomial is defined from a prefix “Mono” and a Latin term “Nomial”.
By combining the meanings of both the terms, monomial is defined in algebra as an algebraic expression with one term. In algebra, a monomial is used to represent a quantity in algebraic form. It is known as a polynomial of one term. The monomials are expressed mathematically in two different algebraic forms.
Every algebraic term is an algebraic expression in a single term. So, each algebraic term is a monomial mathematically.
$(1) \,\,\,\,\,\,$ $a$
$(2) \,\,\,\,\,\,$ $-6b$
$(3) \,\,\,\,\,\,$ $3x^2y$
$(4) \,\,\,\,\,\,$ $\dfrac{2}{9} \, mn$
$(5) \,\,\,\,\,\,$ $-\dfrac{4pq^2}{r}$
Every number is considered as a monomial.
$-2$$,\,$ $5$$,\,$ $\sqrt{7}$$,\,$ $\dfrac{4}{9}$$,\,$ $0.12 \,$ $\cdots$
There are two reasons for considering numbers as monomials.
