Can someone help me make a trinominal and put it in ascending order and find the degree?

Question

anonymous · Answer

A trinomial is a polynomial that consists of three nominals like $$a^3 + b^2 + c$$. The power of the highest exponent reveals the degree of the polynomial.

anonymous · Answer

so 6^3 + 2^2 + 8 is an appropriate answer?

anonymous · Answer

and the degree would be 3?

A trinomiall has 3 terms.
You need a variable.

6 x^3 + 2 x^2 + 8 = P(x) will do BUT....

directrix · Answer

.. it is not in ascending order.

How do I put it in ascending order?

anonymous · Answer

??

directrix · Answer

It is now in descending order which is not the way polynomials usually are wriiten.

In ascending order (low to high), the terms go from the lowest degree to the highest.

P(x) = 8 + 2 x^2 + 6 X^3 

The degree of the polynomial is 3 because it is the greatest exponent of the group. This  polynomial is known as a cubic trinomial.

Do check my work and see if it makes sense.

it makes sense, thank you so much
