Question

Identify each polynomial as a monomial, a binomial, or a trinomial. Give the degree of the polynomial.

Answer 1

We need to evaluate if the following:

`x^5-7x`

Is a monomial, binomial or trinomial.

There are two terms on this polynomial, the first is x to the 5th and the second is minus 7 x. Since there are two terms, this is a binomial.
