Monomial
This article deals with the monomial in algebra. For its meaning in logic, see conjunction term.
In algebra, a monomial is a polynomial consisting of only one member. A monomial is therefore a product consisting of a coefficient and powers of one, rarely also several variables.
Examples of monomials of variable 
:
Each polynomial is a sum of monomials of the same variable, for example, is
is made up of the following monomials:
Polynomial functions whose function term is a monomial are power functions.
Generalization
If one allows several variables and arbitrary real powers, one obtains the monomial functions.
