Okay, so to start this question, we can think about what exactly a monomial is and what it needs to include in order to be considered a monomial.
00:11
So over here, we have that a monomial is a product of a constant and a variable, and that variable is raised to a non -negative integer.
00:24
Okay? and we can look at the general form of the monomial over here.
00:28
We have a times x to the k, where x is the variable.
00:33
A is the coefficient, and then k is the degree.
00:37
So if you look down at the problem, we have 2x cubed.
00:41
Now, at first glance, we see that it's a product of a constant in a variable, so that checks out.
00:47
And then we have that the variable is raised to the power of 3, which is indeed a non -negative integer.
00:54
So this doesn't violate any of the qualifications of being a monomial.
00:57
So yes, this is a monomial...
