Question

Choose the correct classification of 4x4 − 4x3 + 10x6.

4th degree trinomial

12th degree trinomial

3rd degree trinomial

6th degree trinomial

Answer 1

The degree of a polynomial is the same as the highest exponent of the variable.

Answer 2

6th

Answer 3

For example,
x is a 1st degree polynomial.
x^2 + 2x is a 2nd degree polynomial.
5 + x^2 + 4x^3 is a 3rd degree polynomial.
3 is a 0 degree polynomial.

Answer 4

Oh, and "trinomial" just refers to the fact that there are 3 terms.
