A trinomial has three terms. The first term contains the squared variable, the second term contains the variable with an exponent of 1, and the third term does not have any variable. That term is called the independent term.

In the polynomial:


3x^2-7x-20

The term -20 is the independent term because it does not depend on the value of the variable x.
