Give the degree and classify the polynomial by the number of terms.
A.
degree: 2; trinomial
B.
degree: 3; binomial
C.
degree: 3; trinomial
D.
degree: 2; binomial
Is B correct?
No, B is not correct.
To determine the degree of a polynomial, we need to identify the term with the highest exponent. In this case, B is described as a binomial with three terms. However, a binomial can only have two terms.
Based on the given options, the correct answer is C. A polynomial with a degree of 3 and three terms is called a trinomial.
No, B is not correct. A binomial is a polynomial with two terms, while in the given options, only A and D mention binomials. Of the two options, D is correct.
