Answer 1

a Polynomial classification

One of the forms to classify polynomials is according to the number of terms.

A term is considered as a group of numbers and variables which multiply and/or divide between them.

For example, 4xy is one term

If a polynomial has terms connected with plus signs or minus signs, then it has more than one term. For example, 5yz-5x has two terms.

There are special names for certain number of terms:

Monomials: Only one term

Binomials: Two terms

Trinomials
