Question

Provide three unique examples of polynomials of varying degree and classification. State the classification and degree of each. (ie. 3x3+2y2x2 classification: binomial, degree: fourth)

Answer 1

Degree: the value of the highest exponent in the expression
Binomial: a polynomial with two terms
Trinomial: a polynomial with three terms
Polynomial: an expression, normally used to classify ones with more than three terms

$x^2 + 5$
$binomial$
$degree: 2$

$4x^3 + 5x + 9$
$trinomial$
$degree: 3$

$5x^7 + 7x^4 + 8x^3 +9x^2 + 1$
$polynomial$
$degree: 7$
