Question

3. 5determined if the expression 8a+ a-a is a polynomial or not. if it is a polynomial state the type and degree of the polynomial

Answer 1

Given expression:

`8a^3+a^5-a`

We can deduce that

It is a polynomial because it has variables, and coe

• There are three terms

,

• The highest power of the polynomial is 5

Therefore,

Because we have three terms, the type of the polynomial is Trinomial

Also, since the highest power of the polynomial is 5, the degree of the polynomial is 5
