Question

Two trinomials are multiplied together. If the degree of the first trinomial is 4, what must the degree of the second trinomial be in order to have a product whose degree is 8?
A. 0
B. 1
C. 2
D. 4

Answer 1

what's the degree of a trinomial?

Answer 2

Recall that multiplying like bases with exponents that you add the exponents together. So \(x^{2}*x^{2} \rightarrow x^{2+2} \rightarrow x^{4}\)
