Front

What is a leading coefficient?

Back

The leading coefficient is the coefficient of the term with the highest degree in a polynomial.

Front

What is a trinomial?

Back

A trinomial is a polynomial with three terms.

Front

What is standard form of a polynomial?

Back

The standard form of a polynomial is when the terms are arranged in descending order of their degrees.

Front

Identify the leading term of the polynomial: 3x^4 + 2x^3 - x + 5.

Back

The leading term is 3x^4.

Front

What is a constant term in a polynomial?

Back

The constant term is the term in a polynomial that does not contain any variables.

Front

How do you classify polynomials by degree?

Back

Polynomials are classified as linear (degree 1), quadratic (degree 2), cubic (degree 3), quartic (degree 4), etc.

Front

Back

The constant is 7.

Front

What is the difference between a monomial and a polynomial?

Back

A monomial is a polynomial with only one term, while a polynomial can have multiple terms.
