Create a trinomial. Write it in ascending order and identify its degree.

hartnn (hartnn):

A trinomial is an expression with 3 different terms....can u think of any 3 different terms?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Uhmm, Not really.. ):

hartnn (hartnn):

ok, let me give an example, 3 terms--->1,x,x^2 ascending order--->1+x+x^2 degree = highest exponent = 2 got this?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes.

hartnn (hartnn):

good, so now you can create your own trinomials, as many as you want.... :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So for example, 3+5x-x^2?

hartnn (hartnn):

absolutely correct, thats a trinomial ... :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

And the degree is 2?

hartnn (hartnn):

that too in ascending order....degree?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, correct :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you so much!! (:

hartnn (hartnn):

another example, x+x^5+x^9 degree =9

hartnn (hartnn):

welcome ^_^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So the highest exponent is the degree?

hartnn (hartnn):

yes, exactly.
