Question

What is the correct classification of x2 + 15x?

Answer 1

Don't know what you mean by classification?

Quadratic, parabola?

Answer 2

monomial,binomial or trinomial

Answer 3

I guess two terms makes it binomial.

Answer 4

so then how do i do this one? What is the correct classification of x2 + 3x + 8?

Answer 5

mono means one, bi means two, tri means three. count how many terms there are in your expression, and pick the answer that matches that.

Answer 6

I guess it doesnt depend on number of terms.............it depends on the power of the equation.....!!!!

Answer 7

it is the number of term, not the power of the equation. The power of the equation is called the degree. you can have an expression like:
\[x^2\]
and that would be a monomial, because there is only one term.
