Welcome to the Polynomial Exercises section for freshman students!
In this set of exercises, we will explore the world of polynomials, which are algebraic expressions formed by the sum or difference of terms called monomials. Polynomials are fundamental tools in algebra and have various applications in solving mathematical problems and representing phenomena in science.
Throughout these exercises, we will address key concepts such as identifying like terms, adding and subtracting polynomials, multiplying polynomials and, in some cases, factorization and division. These exercises are designed to strengthen your understanding of polynomials and improve your skills in algebraic manipulation.
We hope you enjoy tackling these challenges and that you find the practice you need to consolidate your knowledge in the exciting world of polynomials. Let's dive into solving exercises and explore the properties and operations of these expressive algebraic objects!

1 
Yes, it is a monomial; degree 3 and coefficient 3.
2 
It is not a monomial, because the exponent is not a natural number.
3 
It is not a monomial, because a sum appears.
4

.
5 
Yes, it is a monomial; degree 4 and coefficient
.
6 
It is not a monomial, it does not have a natural exponent.
7
