How do you classify a polynomial by degree?

Back

A polynomial is classified by its degree, which is the highest power of the variable in the expression. For example, a polynomial of degree 3 is called cubic.

What are the different classifications of polynomials based on the number of terms?

Back

Polynomials can be classified as monomials (1 term), binomials (2 terms), trinomials (3 terms), and polynomials with more than three terms.

What is the leading coefficient of a polynomial?

Back

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

How do you write a polynomial in descending order?

Back

To write a polynomial in descending order, arrange the terms from the highest degree to the lowest degree.

What is a quartic polynomial?

Back

A quartic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 4.

Front

What is a constant polynomial?

Back

A constant polynomial is a polynomial that has a degree of 0, meaning it does not contain any variable terms.

Front

What is a cubic polynomial?

Back

A cubic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 3.

How do you identify the degree of a polynomial?

Back

The degree of a polynomial is identified by finding the highest exponent of the variable in the polynomial.

What is a monomial?

Back

A monomial is a polynomial with only one term.
