This is one term that is expressed as a real number, a variable, a product, or quotient of a variable and real number.
Example: 6, 7y, x, 8xy, and 5x2.
Unclear. "This is"...what?
Online "^" is used to indicate an exponent, e.g., x^2 = x squared.
The term being described here is called a monomial. A monomial is an algebraic expression that consists of a single term. It can be expressed as a real number (such as 6), a variable (such as x or y), or a combination of a variable and a real number (such as 8xy or 5x^2).
In general, a monomial is formed by multiplying a coefficient (a real number) by one or more variables, each raised to a nonnegative integer exponent. The variables and the coefficients are multiplied together to form the monomial.
To identify if a given expression is a monomial, you need to check if it meets the criteria mentioned above: only one term, can include a real number, variable(s), and exponent(s). If all these conditions are satisfied, then you can conclude that the expression is a monomial.
