Choose 3 of the polynomials from the list below and classify each one by degree and number of terms. (2 points each) 1.9x^2yz 2.18x2 + 5ab – 6y 3.8a – 5

OpenStudy (anonymous):

degree is te highest power

OpenStudy (anonymous):

What is the highest power in first one..???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's the coefficient

OpenStudy (anonymous):

it doesn't have a power in #1

OpenStudy (anonymous):

power of x??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

x2 is x^2 right??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is that first one \(\large 9x^2yz \) ???

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh wait its 2 i forgot to put the power (^) sign in the equation

OpenStudy (anonymous):

cool

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but how do i classify them now?????

OpenStudy (anonymous):

LIke wise find highest power in second one?/

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the first one is not degree 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

and the third one is 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For One Term : Monomial For having two terms : Binomial.. For having three terms : Trinomial..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah in case of Multiplication, we have to add all the powers to get the degree..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait no you got that back wards its. for one: binomial for two : trinomial for three: monomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh dear.. Mono means one.. Bi means two (Binary digits 0 and 1 you might have heard of it) Tri means three..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ya but umm.. was i right bout the degree
