Determine if the expression - 10b^2 + 8a²c^2 + 10a^3 b^5 is a polynomial or not. If it is a polynomial, state the type and degree of the polynomial.
step 1
The expression is a polynomial , because not have a variable in the denominator
step 2
Degree of polynomial
To find the degree of the polynomial, you first have to identify each term
so
10b^2 -----> degree 2
10 a^3b^5 ------> 3+5------> degree 8
8a^2c^2 ------> 2+2-----> degree 4
therefore
highest degree is 8
step 3
Type
the expression hace three terms
so
Its a trinomial
