Question

Provide three unique examples of polynomials of varying degree and classification. State the classification and degree of each. (ie. 3x3+2y2x2 classification: binomial, degree: fourth)

Answer 1

Degree: the value of the highest exponent in the expression
Binomial: a polynomial with two terms
Trinomial: a polynomial with three terms
Polynomial: an expression, normally used to classify ones with more than three terms


`x^2 + 5`

`binomial`

`degree: 2`


`4x^3 + 5x + 9`

`trinomial`

`degree: 3`


`5x^7 + 7x^4 + 8x^3 +9x^2 + 1`

`polynomial`

`degree: 7`
