Answer: NO
<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>
Let's define some of the vocabulary words so we can understand what is being asked.
trinomial: 3 terms → each term is separated by a plus or minus sign
Example: 5x² + 3x + 2
monomial: 1 term → no plus or minus sign exists in the term.
Example: 5x²
degree: the largest exponent → it can be in any of the terms.
Example: 5x² has a degree of 2
It is possible that a monomial has an exponent greater than that of a trinomial so the answer is NO!
trinomial: 5x² + 3x + 2 has a degree of 2
monomial: 5x⁴ has a degree of 4
