I need help!? please? :) How do you do these kind of problems? Classify the expression 7x3 + 2x2 – 9x as a monomial, binomial, trinomial or polynomial.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the highest power

OpenStudy (darrius):

HI MAGEN!!!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i'm not very good at math talk....highest power?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

hi Darris

OpenStudy (waleed_imtiaz):

Monomial = x2 Binomial = 3x2 + 2x Trinomial = 5x4 + 3x2 + 8 Zero polynomial = When all the coefficient of polynomial is zero. learn from it.

OpenStudy (waleed_imtiaz):

So ur given expression is a trinomial...@magenxoxo

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what is the highest exponent that the x values have that is thier power-degree

OpenStudy (anonymous):

uhm 9? @jonask

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayy...what does, monomial, binomial, trinomial or polynomial. mean? (stand for)?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the question you asked is\[7x^3+2x^2-9x\] the numbers before the x dont matter wat matters is the once raised to the top can you notice any

OpenStudy (anonymous):

9 is not the raised number

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh! I didn't realize they were there. so then its 3?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes so actually we have 3,2,1 but the highest is 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

if the equation had only 1 as the highest it will be called monomial 'mono means 1' if the equation had only 2 as the highest power then binomial 'bi means 2' if the equation had only 3 as the highest power then trinomial ' tri means 3'

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh! I get it now!!! :D So, since it's 3 then the answer would be trinomial. correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thank you!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

whats poly?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

0?

OpenStudy (waleed_imtiaz):

poly means many i think so

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes a polynommial is generally n power as the highest\[P(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+...+a_1x+a_0\] obviusly the highest degree is n here
