Answer:
Possible monomials: 3x² and 3xy
Step-by-step explanation:
We are asked to find a monomial of the 2nd degree with a leading coefficient of 3.
A monomial is a polynomial with only one term. This monomial has to be of 2nd degree, that is, if only one variable is present, the exponent of it is 2, like in x² or y²; but if two variables are present, the exponent of each one is one, so that, the degree is still two, like in xy (degree = 1 + 1 = 2)
In a monomial there is only one coefficient, the leading coefficient, which is the multiplicative factor of the variables. Then, with one variable, the monomial is 3x², and with two, it is 3xy
