Question

Which of the following is a trinomial?

A) c2 + c + 6
B) c2 − 16
C) −8c
D) c3 + 4c2 − 12c + 7

Answer 1

`A) c^2 + c + 6`

Explanation:

We have been given four choices out of which we need to select the choice which is trinomial.

Trinomial means polynomial having three terms.

A) c2 + c + 6

It has 3 terms.

B) c2 − 16

It has 2 terms.

C) −8c

It has 1 term.

D) c3 + 4c2 − 12c + 7

It has 4 terms.

We see that only choice A) has three terms.

Hence correct choice is
`A) c^2 + c + 6`
