classified in two ways: based on degree and based on the number of terms.
The types of polynomials based on degree: zero polynomial, linear, quadratic, and cubic polynomials.
The types of polynomials based on the number of terms: monomials, binomials, trinomials, etc

Answer: Polynomials can be classified by the degree of the polynomial. The degree of a polynomial is the degree of its highest degree term. So the degree of 2x3+3x2+8x+5 2 x 3 + 3 x 2 + 8 x + 5 is 3. A polynomial is said to be written in standard form when the terms are arranged from the highest degree to the lowest degree.
