Question 651113

Polynomials are classified according to two attributes: {{{number}}} of {{{terms}}} and {{{degree}}}.

your polynomial has {{{three}}} terms, {{{25k^2+10k +1}}}, and a polynomial with {{{three}}} {{{terms}}} is a {{{trinomial}}}

The {{{degree}}} of a polynomial is the {{{largest}}} of the degrees of its monomial terms. 

So,  your polynomial has the degree {{{2}}}.
