Question

Classify the following expression by degree and term: x^2y − 7xy + xyz + x

A. 2nd degree polynomial
B. 7th degree polynomial
C. 2nd degree trinomial
D. 3rd degree polynomial

Answer 1

3rd degree polynomial

Explanation:

(Just took test)

x^2y − 7xy + xyz + x = 4 terms

x^2y − 7xy + xyz + x = polynomial

x^2y − 7xy + xyz + x = degree of three

= 3rd degree polynomial

Answer 2

When you classify the expression "x^2y - 7xy + xyz + x" by degree and term, it would be the 3rd degree polynomial.

The correct option among the other answer choices are as follows: D.
