Question

Identify the name and label the parts of the following polynomial: − 2x^4+24^2-10

Answer 1

-2x^4 + 24x^2 - 10

u have 3 terms.....and since u are only dealing with 1 variable with the highest exponent being 4, then what u have here is a 4th degree trinomial.
U have a lead coefficient of -2.
Ur constant term is -10
And ur middle term (24x^2) has a degree of 2

a cubic binomial.....a binomial has 2 terms and it being cubic means the highest term has a degree of 3
example would be : x^3 - 4

how many constants can a polynomial have ? I am not sure about this one...I wanna say 1 because u can simplify it if it has more then 1...but I am not 100% sure on this one

3x^2 + 6xy -10x^5 + y^6 - 10x^3y^5

when u have a polynomial with more then 1 variable, such as this one, the degree is not the highest exponent, it is the highest term.....-10x^3y^5...u add the exponents....so this term has a degree of 8, and it is the highest one in this problem....so this is an 8th degree polynomial with 5 terms
