What is a Monomial
This lesson provides an introduction to terms and monomials in algebraic expressions. A term is a number, a variable or a combination of both that are either being multiplied or divided. Examples of terms include 7, x, 7x, 7/x, 3xP, and z/kw. On the other hand, an algebraic expression is not a term but a combination of terms. The lesson also introduces powers or exponents, which are the base multiplied by itself to the power amount of times. Overall, this is an informative lesson that lays the foundation for translating algebraic expressions.
Introduction to terms and monomials
I show how to solve math problems online during live instruction in class. This is my way of providing free tutoring for the students in my class and for students anywhere in the world. Every video is a short clip that shows exactly how to solve math problems step by step. The problems are done in real time and in front of a regular classroom. These videos are intended to help you learn how to solve math problems, review how to solve a math problems, study for a test, or finish your homework. I post all of my videos on YouTube, but if you are looking for other ways to interact with me and my videos you can follow me on the following pages through My Blog, Twitter, or Facebook.
