Answer:
Simplified = 5
Classification = Monomial
Step-by-step explanation:
<h2>PART I: Simplify the expression</h2><u>Given expression:</u>
3x² + 6x + 5 - 3x (2 + x)
<u>Expand parenthesis by distributive property:</u>
= 3x² + 6x + 5 - 3x (2) - 3x (x)
= 3x² +6x + 5 - 6x - 3x²
<u>Put like terms together:</u>
= 3x² - 3x² + 6x - 6x + 5
= 0 + 0 + 5
=
<u>Concept:</u>
Polynomial is classified by the number of terms a polynomial has.
- Monomial: a polynomial with only one term
- Binomial: a polynomial with two terms
- ...
<u>Classify the given expression:</u>
Original = 3x² + 6x + 5 - 3x (2 + x)
Simplified = 5
5 is a constant and it has only one term
Therefore, it is a <u>monomial</u>.
Hope this helps!! :)
