3rd degree polynomial
12th degree trinomial
3rd degree trinomial

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Answer 2

2nd degree trinomial

Explanation:

`4x^2 + 3xy + 12yz`

Degree of the polynomial is the highest degree of each term

We are given with three terms.

To find the degree of each term , add the exponents

4x^2 , degree 2

3xy, degree 2

12yx, degree 2

The degree of the given polynomial is 2

So its a 2nd degree trinomial
