How to classify polynomials

The video tutorial explains how to classify polynomial functions by their degree and standard form. It covers the types of polynomial functions, including constant, linear, quadratic, cubic, quartic, and quintic, and provides examples for each type. The tutorial emphasizes understanding the degree of a polynomial and its leading coefficient.

What is the standard form of a polynomial function?

Explain the significance of the leading coefficient in a polynomial function.

List the different types of polynomial functions mentioned in the text.

What is the degree of a constant polynomial function?

Describe the characteristics of a quadratic polynomial.

How does the number of terms in a polynomial relate to its classification?

Provide an example of a quintic polynomial and explain its degree.
