1) -10x
2) -10r4- 8r2
3) 7
4)9a6 + 3a5 - 4a4 - 3a2 + 9
5)-3n3 + n2 - 10n + 9
6) 7x2 - 9x - 10
7) -4b
8) -9 + 7n3 - n2

Answer 1

Polynomials are classified according to their number of terms. 4x3 +3y + 3x2 has three terms, -12zy has 1 term, and 15 - x2 has two terms. As already mentioned, a polynomial with 1 term is a monomial. A polynomial with two terms is a binomial, and a polynomial with three terms is a trinomial.
