Do you know the difference between all these four choices?

Answer 2

Hint:
Tri=3
Bi=2
Poly=many
Mono=1
These "3,2,1,and Many" are how many terms there is. So I'm going to let you figure it out. And when you figure it out, Just go ahead and share it with me if you'd like:D Good Luck:D

Answer 3

then it would be binomial?

Answer 4

No. How many terms are there?

Answer 5

5x-1 would be considered as a binomial. Just 5x wouldn't. Give it another try:)

Answer 6

monomial

Answer 7

Yep!!!! You're correct! Great Job:)

Answer 8

thank you :)

Answer 9

You means polynomial with the biggest power of the variable 5. It is D, because the rest are with the largest x^1 x^2 x^3, respectively.

Answer 10

I don't think so. Cuz a polynomial looks like this:
\[4xy ^{2}+3x-5\]
It has many terms not only one.

Answer 11

No

Answer 12

A polynomial means more than 1, it can be with x² the largest, x³ the largest and on.
Even with `x¹°°`

Answer 13

largest power of the variable (don't confuse it with degree that                                                             means the sum of exponents in the larger term)
monomial 1
binomial 2
trinomial 3
polynomial ∞

Answer 14

(made it a bit nicer)

Answer 15

good luck :P

Answer 16

Ok. So it would only go for the exponents? "terms?"
