polynomial

Hi, for homework I am soposed to tell whether expressions are polynomials and if they are then to name it according to its degree and number of terms. I am stuck on one of them: 0x^5 Im leaning towards it being a polynomial, and I think that it would maybe be a constant monomial, but I would just like to be sure. Thanks!

0x^5 is a polynomial.

It has one term (monomial) and it is a constant because the coefficient is zero.

Because it is a constant, it's degree is zero.

NOTE: If the coefficient were anything other than zero, the degree would be five.

k, thank you so much!
