Problem 9
True or False The distance between two distinct points on the real number line is always greater than zero.
Problem 10
Is the expression a monomial? If it is, name the variable(s) and the coefficient, and give the degree of the monomial. If it is not a monomial, state why not. $$ -4 x^{2} $$
