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

zpupster · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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

zpupster · Answer

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

anonymous · Answer

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