Polynomials can be classified two different ways - by the number of terms and by their degree.
1. Number of terms.
A monomial has just one term. For example, 4x2 .Remember that a term contains both the variable(s) and its coefficient (the number in front of it.) So the is just one term.
A binomial has two terms. For example: 5x2 -4x
A trinomial has three terms. For example: 3y2+5y-2
Any polynomial with four or more terms is just called a polynomial. For example: 2y5+ 7y3- 5y2+9y-2
Practice classifying these polynomials by the number of terms:
1. 5y
2. 3x2-3x+1
3. 5y-10
4. 8xy
5. 3x4+x2-5x+9
Answers: 1) Monomial 2) Trinomial 3) Binomial 4) Monomial 5) Polynomial
2. Degree. The degree of the polynomial is found by looking at the term with the highest exponent on its variable(s).

C
The C is negative which indicates that one binomial will be negative and one binomial will be positive. The B is positive which indicates that the positive binomial will be larger than the negative binomial
. The B is +3 which tells that the difference in the two factors is 3
Answer: 52
Step-by-step explanation:
11×4=44+8=52
Answer:
a) 0.437; b) 0.291
Step-by-step explanation:
For part a,
There are 280+210 = 490 people that are over 18 years old. Out of these, 119+95 = 214 purchase 2 pairs of jeans annually. This is
214/490 ≈ 0.437
For part b,
There are 87+69+74+11 = 241 people who purchase 3 or more pairs of jeans. There were a total of 220+290+280+210 = 1000 people; this means there were 759 people tho purchased fewer than 3 pairs of jeans.
Out of these, 21+74+126 = 221 were in the age group 12-18. This gives us
221/759 ≈ 0.291
