is a linear polynomial
Step-by-step explanation:
based on the highest power of the variables of a polynomial, it can be classified as linear,polynomial, quadratic polynomial,cubic polynomial etc.
In a linear polynomial, the highest power of the variable is 1. The general form of a linear polynomial is ax+b
In a quadratic polynomial, the highest power of the variables is 2.The general form of quadratic polynomial is
![ax^2+bx+c](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/2l7bgpnc614y04iljycygusm3pon0vhiuh.png)
In a cubic polynomial,the highest power of variable is 3.The general form of cubic polynomial is
.
Take the given question and simplify it
![r^2+3r+5-r^3/r=r^2+3r+5-r^2\\=3r+5](https://img.qammunity.org/2021/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/sgf5ldnaf5iw7vtgef8pg7ijm6gbmpxocv.png)
It is of the form ax+b. Hence it is a linear polynomial.
