Answer:

a. 4th degree binomial

b. 2nd degree trinomial

c. 3rd degree monomial.

Step-by-step explanation:

In order to find each of these, start by writing the degree based on the highest exponent. The work for a is done for you below.

5x^4 - 8

This means it is a 4th degree.

Now we can decide what the final word is based on how many terms there are. In this one there is 2, so we call it a binomial.

4th degree binomial.
