Question 633786
<font face="Times New Roman" size="+2">


In elementary algebra, a trinomial is a polynomial consisting of three terms or monomials.


So you need three terms.  Create them using real number coefficients, one or more variables, and integer coefficients.


For each of your terms, add up all of the exponents, remembering that a variable without an exponent has an understood exponent of 1.  For example, if you have a term like *[tex \LARGE 3x^3y], then the sum of the exponents is the 3 on the *[tex \LARGE x] plus the understood 1 on the *[tex \LARGE y] for a total of 4.  The sum of the exponents in a given term is the degree of the term


Add your three terms writing the one with the smallest degree first followed by the next larger, and finally the one with the largest degree.  The terms should be separated by plus signs unless the sign on the coefficient for that term is negative.  The degree of the trinomial is the same as the degree of the term with the largest degree.
