Question

Classify the polynomial by Degree and number of Terms

b^3+2b^2-b^2+3b^2+25

A. Quadratic Polynomial
B. None of the answers apply.
C. Cubic Trinomial
D. Polynomial

Answer 1

C) Cubic Trinomial

Explanation:

First, we combine like terms to simplify the polynomial. Like terms means having the same variable and exponent.

We get this expression: b^3+4b^2+25

There are 3 terms in this polynomial. Thus, it classifies as a trinomial. And its highest degree is 3, so it’s a cubic trinomial
