Question

Explain why your polynomial does not have to have a constant term.

I REALLY NEED HELP ANSWERING THIS,THANKS!

Answer 1

A cubic polynomial has a degree of 3.

Since 3 is the highest degree, the polynomial could contain terms with degree 2, 1, or 0 (quadratic, linear, or constant).

A trinomial can have only 3 terms.

Including terms with degrees of 3, 2, 1, and 0 would mean the polynomial has 4 terms.

The cubic trinomial could consist of a cubic, quadratic, and linear term, with no constant term.

Answer 2

Explanation:

_______

Good evening ,

_______________

For instance:

5²x + 6x - 10

In this expression the constant term is -10 ,

and we can write -10 = -10x⁰ because x⁰=1

So we can right the same expression like this : 5x² +6x -10x⁰

Anyway, I think your question needs more details.
