Question

What type of polynomial is -10x^(4)-7

Answer 1

biquadratic polynomial

Explanation:

The given polynomial is

`-10x^4 - 7\\\\`

The degree of this polynomial (the highest power) is 4

Such a polynomial is called a quartic polynomial. If all the terms have even degree, which in this case is true since there is only one term and its degree is 4 it is called a biquadratic polynomial

If polynomial has degree 1 ex 4x + 3 it is called a linear polynomial

If it has degree 2 --> quadratic

If it has degree 3 --> cubic
