Question

Which of the following is a trinomial with a constant term?
A: y^5
B: x^(4-7)+3
C: x=4y+7
D: -x+y^10
E: x^3+11x^2+x
F: y^7-29

Answer 1

trinomial has three terms

Answer 2

how many terms are there in A?

Answer 3

2?

Answer 4

y^5 is one term

Answer 5

terms are separated by addition and subtraction signs
you have no addition or subtraction
so you have one term in A
we don't care about A
since there is only one term
and we want three terms

Answer 6

now a trinomial is a polynomail
which means your exponents should only be nonnegative intergers
that is your exponents can only be 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,....

but what is wrong with B?

Answer 7

the exponent is 4-7

Answer 8

and 4-7=-3
we can not have negative exponents
since we are looking for trinomials

Answer 9

good

Answer 10

now is C written correctly?

Answer 11

I see C is not an expression
it is an equation

Answer 12

unless there is something written wrong about it

Answer 13

C: x=4y+7 is this correct?
or is it suppose to be x-4y+7 or x+4y+7

Answer 14

my bad, it was x+4y+7.

Answer 15

how many terms do you see there?

Answer 16

3

Answer 17

right

Answer 18

and is there a constant term? :)

Answer 19

yes?

Answer 20

a constant term is a lonely term
like you will not see any kinda variable next to this term
like for example:
34x^2+x+4
4 is a constant term
243x^2-y+5
5 is a constant term

Answer 21

x+4y+7
has 3 terms and is a polynomial so therefore is a trinomial
and the constant term is 7

Answer 22

thank you
