Question 626506: Write all of the following statememnt/s that apply to the following polynomial:
x^2-9x+3
a) It is a binomial
b) It can be evaluated at x=-1/3
c) It has a coefficient of 9.
d) It is quadratic
I worked it out as b) and c) am I right or wrong?
Thank you in advance...
Answer by jim_thompson5910(35256) About Me  (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website!
a) is false since it has 3 terms (so it's really a trinomial)

b) is correct since you can plug in any number and get some number out.

c) is NOT correct since the coefficient is really negative 9 and not positive 9.

d) is also an answer since it is in fact a quadratic (the degree is 2)

=======================================================

So to sum things up, the answers are: b) and d)
