"Why is a constant a monomial?"
The short answer is because a constant is a special typeof monomial.
The reason for this is that the definition of a monomial reads: A monomial is
"An expression that is either
a numeral (= a numerical expression which names a particular number, IE a constant),
a variable,
or a product of a numeral and one or more variables."
"constant (monomial): A monomial consisting of a numeral only; a term with no variable factor. "
constant
A [real] constant.
constant
Zero is a whole number and definition of monomial is " a number, or a variable, or a combination of a constant and a variable"
A constant like 8 or -8
A monomial that is a real number is called a constant.
Monomial. Monomial. Monomial. Monomial.
Monomial has two different meanings;1. is a product of powers of variables.2. The second meaning of monomial includes monomials in the first sense, but also allows multiplication by any constant, so that − 7x5 and (3 − 4i)x4yz13 are also considered to be monomials
It is a polynomial (monomial). It is a polynomial (monomial). It is a polynomial (monomial). It is a polynomial (monomial).
An odd monomial is an expression of the form axp where a is a numerical constant and p is an odd integer. As a reult of p being an odd integer, a(-x)p = - axp which makes the expression odd.
Monomial.
Yes any constant or variable is a polynomial. To be most precise, 1 is a monomial meaning it has one term.
