CLASSIFICATION OF POLYNOMIALS

[tex]__________________________[/tex]

2x^2 + 4x + 1

  • Trinomial, it has 3 terms so it is a trinomial.
  • 2nd degree polynomial, its highest exponent in its variables is 2 so it is a 2nd degree polynomial

2x^3

  • Monomial, it is only 1 term so it is a monomial.
  • 3rd degree polynomial, its highest exponent in its variable is 3 so it is a 3rd degree polynomial.

x + 5

  • Binomial, it has 2 terms so it is a binomial.
  • 1st degree polynomial, the variable x has an invisible exponent of 1 so it is a 1st degree polynomial.
