Question

campbell_st · Answer

the degree is the highest power in the polynomial.. 

there are 3 terms so a trinomial... 

you just need to identify the degree

isaiah.feynman · Answer

I will show how to classify by degree and number of terms. To classify by degree you look for the highest exponent. The degree of a polynomial is its highest exponent. Exponent 1 linear, exponent 2 quadratic, exponent 3 cubic, exponent 4 quartic, exponent 5 quintic. Number of terms simply count the terms besides the signs. One term is monomial, two terms binomial, three terms trinomial, four and above terms polynomial.
