Question

Describe each polynomial expression by type and components based on the example shown. 3x2 + 2x 2x2 − 5x + 3 6x

Answer 1

3x2 + 2x

This polynomial expression is a quadratic binomial, with a coefficient of 3 on the quadratic term, a linear term with coefficient 2, and no constant.

2x2 − 5x + 3

This polynomial expression is a quadratic trinomial, with a coefficient of 2 on the quadratic term, a linear term with coefficient -5, and constant 3.

6x

This polynomial expression is a linear monomial with a coefficient of 6 on the linear term and no constant.

Answer 2

The first 3x^2 + 2x is a second degree polynomial, so it's a quadratic binomial (2 terms). The second 2x^2 - 5x + 3 is a second degree trinomial (3 terms), and the third is a monomial (1 term). Not sure if that's what you were looking for.
