Expression that contains only one term is called a __________.a)monomi...
- A monomial is an algebraic expression containing only one term.
- It can be a constant, a variable, or a product of constants and variables.
- For example, 7, and -3xy are all monomials.
- A binomial has two terms, and a trinomial has three.
- Therefore, the correct answer is A: monomial, as it describes an expression with a singular term.

Monomial
A monomial is a mathematical expression that contains only one term. It is a type of polynomial that consists of a single term. The term can be a constant, a variable, or a product of constants and variables.
Examples of monomials:
- 5
- x
- 2xy
- -3a²
A monomial can be simplified by combining like terms. Like terms are terms that have the same variables raised to the same powers.
For example, the monomial 3x²y - 2xy² can be simplified as follows:
3x²y - 2xy² = xy(3x - 2y)
In this simplified form, the monomial is still a single term, but it is expressed as a product of a constant (xy) and a binomial (3x - 2y).
Binomial and Trinomial
Binomials and trinomials are also types of polynomials, but they contain two and three terms, respectively.
Examples of binomials:
- 2x + 5y
- 3a² - 4b
- 6xy + 2y²
Examples of trinomials:
- x² + 2x + 1
- 2a² - 5ab + 3b²
- 4xy² + 3x²y - 2y³
