Answer 1

The correct description for the polynomial \(5x^3\) is **cubic monomial**.

Here's a breakdown of the terminology:

- **Cubic** refers to the degree of the polynomial, which is 3 in this case (the highest exponent of \(x\)).
- **Monomial** refers to a polynomial with only one term. Since \(5x^3\) has just one term, it is a monomial.

So, the answer is **cubic monomial**.
