It has a degree of 5;
It is quadratic

It does not "have" a trinomial, it "is" a trinomial.
Polynomials are continuous and differentiable, and can be evaluated at any real x (including -1/3)
The degree is 5 since the largest x exponent is 5.
It is not quadratic since a quadratic expression is single variable and degree 2.
