Question 202466: Classify the 15 given polynomials as monomials, binomials, trinomials, and polynomials. Use the format given below for categorizing the polynomials. Remember to simplify BEFORE you classify! –
a. 2x3+3x2 + 2x – 1
b. ax4 – bx2
c. 3a4 – 6a3 + 3a2
d. -4xyz
e. 3ab – 7cd + 5ac
f. 12x – 10x + 3
g. 3q2 – 4r2 + 6s2 – t2
h. –13x
i. 3xy + 4xz – 6yz + 1
j. 4x2 – x + 2x
k. x4 – x2y2 – x2y2 + y4
l. x3 – 3x +1
m. x – 7y2 +9x + 7y2
n. x + y
o. 4c6
Monomial
Binomial Trinomial Polynomial
Terms are separated by + and - signs. Monomials have one term, binomials have two terms, trinomials have three terms, and anything with more than three terms is just a polynomial (realize, of course, that they are ALL polynomials)
Remember to simplify by combining like terms before you count. Hint: There are only two of your problems where this will make a difference.
