I came across this question from my niece's homework and it made us puzzled.
"Is it possible for a 2nd-degree monomial to have 3 variables?"
Why puzzled? Well, at first it sounded so simple since I think monomials with 3 variables should be in 3rd-degree. and then I remembered this"6p^0qr". It almost destroyed my standpoint but thank goodness, I thought since p^0 is 1, it's still impossible to have 3 variables. Since I am still uncertain and want more answers, I posted this to a site and one of the users answered that it's possible if we consider the multinomial theorem.
What do you think?
