x2 + 2x, 3x3 + x² + 5x +6, 4x - 6y + 8 A monomial is a single-term algeabric expression. A monomoial is the product of real numbers and variables with non-negative integer powers. Consequently, a monomial has NO variable in its denominator. It has one term. (mono implies one)

13, 3x, -57, x², 4y², -2xy, or 520x²y²

(notice: no negative exponents, no fractional exponents)
