What type of polynomial do you get when you multiply a monomial times a trinomial (before any simplifying)?

Question

anonymous · Answer

Number of terms in the first thing? Number of terms in the second thing? Multiply those two numbers. That will be the number of terms in the result, at least before you group like terms.

anonymous · Answer

Erronious.

zzr0ck3r · Answer

t*t^3 = t^4 there is one

anonymous · Answer

Lols. That's degree 1 and degree 3. Not monomial and trinomial.

anonymous · Answer

out of the ansewrs of :
 
 minomial
 
 binomial 

 trinomial 

 none of the above

anonymous · Answer

Not pickin' out the answer for you. But here's an example of a monomial times a trinomial:
$$a(bx^3 + cx^2 + x)$$
How many terms will the result have? Don't be like zzrocker and confuse the degree with the number of terms.

x(x^2+3x+7)=x^3-3x^2+7x
Well look at that.  I multiplied a trinomial by a monomial and there it is...what is it?

zzr0ck3r · Answer

thats a binomial times a monomial, smoothman its asking for the dagree, says nothing about terms

zzr0ck3r · Answer

the answer is none of the above

anonymous · Answer

lols... you're wrong but that's cool.

zzr0ck3r · Answer

how so? where does it say anything about terms? Is t^3 a trinomial?

anonymous · Answer

t^3 is a monomial.

anonymous · Answer

Granted, it's a degree 3 monomial, but it's a monomial.

anonymous · Answer

its a trinomial right?

mertsj · Answer

Yes.  It's a a trinomial

zzr0ck3r · Answer

Im sorry its early, smooth is right.

anonymous · Answer

And hey sorry I came across as extra harsh about it. That was rude of me.

zzr0ck3r · Answer
