Question

Let f(x) = 2x^3 - 7x^3 + 5x^3 + 123. What is the function of f?
a. 3rd-degree trimonial
b. 12th-degree monomial
c. 3rd-degree binomial
d. 0th-degree monomial
e. not a valid polynomial

Answer 1

bi means 2 , you see you have 4 terms (hint: can you combine the like terms)

Answer 2

also tri means three and more than a few is poly meaning many

Answer 3

so if I combine like terms there would only be two numbers? The total of the 3 like terms and the 123, right?

Answer 4

yes, good job..
I would not say 2 numbers but actually 2 terms-binomial

Answer 5

so would it be a 3rd-degree binomial? c.

Answer 6

good job!!!
