Answer:

1)
2x^(2)+13

2) Option C.

3) Option B.

Explanation:

1. You must apply the Distributive property as following:


(-5x^2-2x+4)+(8x^2-x-1)-(x^(2)-5x+2x-10)

2. Now, you must distribute the negative sign, then you have:


-5x^2-2x+4+8x^2-x-1-x^(2)+5x-2x+10

3. Finally, you must add the like terms. Then you obtain the polynomial:


2x^2+13

4. By definition, a polynomial that has two terms is classified as a binomial. Therefore, the answer is the option C.

5. The degree of a polynomial is determined by highest exponent of the variable. So, it is a polynomial of degree 2 (option B).
