Question

Give the name (monomial, binomial,

trinomial, etc.) and the degree of the
polynomial.
3x² - x
Name? [?]
Degree? [ ]

Answer 1

Name? Binomial

Degree? 2nd

Explanation:

We are given two terms which are 3x² and -x. This makes the polynomial a binomial (because bi- means two). Additionally, the leading degree of the polynomial is 2 because that is the greatest exponent in the expression, so it's a second-degree binomial.
