I guess two terms makes it binomial.

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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.

anonymous · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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.
