Question

Identify the polynomial.

a 2 + bcd 3

monomial
binomial
trinomial
four-term polynomial
five-term polynomial

Answer 1

The answer is a binomial.

Explanation:

In order to determine the answer, we have to know about polynomial.

A polynomial is an mathematical expression where there are different terms. A term is just a variable, representing by a letter, and a coefficient. Terms are different when they have different variable, independent of their coefficients.

When the mathematical expression has just one term, it is called monomial, when it has two terms, it is called binomial, when it has three terms, it is called trinomial.

The polynomial is:

`a^2+bcd^3`

In this case, there are two terms, so the polynomial is a binomial.

Answer 2

Binomial

Explanation:

P = a² + bcd³

The polynomial contains two terms, so it is a binomial.
