Question

Which of the variable expressions below is a trinomial with a constant term? A. 3x5 – 2x3 B. x5 – 3x2 + 5x C. 7x6 + 2x4 – x3 + 7 D. 4x2 – 3 + x3

Answer 1

Option (D)

Explanation:

Option (A).

3x⁵ - 2x³

There are two terms with the variable 'x' in the given expression. therefore, it's a binomial with no constant term.

Option (B).

x⁵ - 3x² + 5x

This expression has three terms with variable 'x'.

Therefore, it's a trinomial without no constant term.

Option (C).

7x⁶ + 2x⁴ - x³ + 7

It's a quadrinomial having 4 terms. '7' is the constant term in the given expression.

Option (D).

4x² + x³ - 3 ≈ x³ + 4x² - 3

It's a trinomial with a constant term 3.

Therefore, Option (D) is the answer.
