True or false
The polynomial 79xy is called a binomial.


False.  That's a monomial because there is only
one term.  There are no additions or subtractions.

MONOmials have ONE term -- no additions or 
subtractions.
Examples:   is a monomial,  is a
monomial,  is a monomial,
 is a monomial,  is a monomial.

BInomials have TWO terms -- one addition or subtraction.
Examples:  is a binomial,  is
a binomial,  is a binomial.

TRInomials have THREE terms -- two additions or subtractions.
Examples:  is a trinomial,  is
a trinomial,  is a trinomial.

If a polynomial has four or more terms, we just call it
a "polynomial".
