Answer:

Trinomial

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the below polynomial;


x^2+5x-6

To be able to classify the above polynomial, we need to ascertain the number of terms it has;


\begin{gathered} x^2\colon1st\text{ term} \\ 5x\colon2nd\text{ term} \\ -6\colon\text{ 3rd term} \end{gathered}

We can see that the polynomial has 3 terms, so it can be classified as a trinomial.
