Question

What is the degree of this polynomial? 3x^2 - 4x + 9

Answer 1

Degree = highest exponent.

So the degree = 2.

Answer 2

Okay, one thing. They called that number a polynomial but it only has 3 terms. Like this number: 4x^2 + 3x that's a binomial right?

Answer 3

Answer 4

Well they sometimes call Minomials, Binomials, and Trinomials as Polynomials.

Answer 5

I don't really understand why they do that either..

Answer 6

Probably just lazy.
