Question

Classify the following expression by degree and term:

x3y + 5xyz

3rd degree trinomial

4th degree binomial

3rd degree binomial

5th degree binomial

Answer 1

There are two terms so it's a binomial. The degree of the first term is 2 (count x and y). The degree of the second term is 3 (count x, y and z). The degree of the sum is the greatest of the degrees of the terms: 3.

Answer 2

3 degree trinomial. since there are three variables x, y and z. and degree is three.

degree of any equation is highest sum of powers of variables. since above equation has second term 5xyz in which x has power 1, y has power 1 and z has power 1. so 1+1+1=3. but first term has only two. highest of both is 3.

Answer 3

so its A

Answer 4

Different answers. interesting...

Answer 5

binomial contains two variables.

Answer 6

so its C

Answer 7

no answer is A

Answer 8

but u said it wasnt

Answer 9

I'll quote Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binomial):
"In algebra, a binomial is a polynomial with two terms."

Answer 10

but anyway thank u

Answer 11

It is a binomial. Do you agree, @crazysingh ?

Answer 12

wikipedia means to say two variables. see the example.. it is given. it has only taken a and b.

Answer 13

It does not. See example 3 at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinomial. It says that \[3ts + 9t + 5s\] is a *trinomial* even though it's only got two variables.

Answer 14

got it! sorry!

Answer 15

i had wrong concept. its binomial of degree three.

Answer 16

so is it C

Answer 17

Yes

Answer 18

ok thank u

Answer 19

yup! for sure.
