Standard Form: p^3q^3 Classification: 6^(th) degree monomial
Practice makes perfect
A monomial is a real number, a variable, or a product of a real number and one or more variables with whole number exponents. Note that the given polynomial consists of only one term. Therefore, it is a monomial and cannot be rearranged. The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of its variables.
p^3q^3
The degrees of p and q are 3 and 3, respectively. We find the degree of the monomial by adding 3 and 3.
3+ 3=6
