What is a monomial function?

A monomial is a mathematical expression which is made up of only one term.

It cannot contain any addition or subtraction signs or a negative exponent.

These are monomials:

• ##a^2##
• ##6a^2b^4##
• ##-6x^2y^4##

These are not monomials: (they are polynomials)

• ##b^3+c##
• ##5x^-3##
• ##5x^3-x^4##
