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.
