is this a quadratic trinomial?

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

Express the polynomial -g+3g+2g^2 in standard form and then classify it.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Umm. Yes.

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

i was thinking, just making sure

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

A trinomial is a sum of three terms, while a multinomial is more than three. Quadratic is another name for a polynomial of the 2nd degree. From: http://www.themathpage.com/alg/quadratic-trinomial.htm

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

And standard from would be Ax^2+bx+c

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

so we need to have it so that it goes in descending order from x^2 all the way down.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

\(\ -g+3g+2g^2\) Just move the terms around...

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

yeah thanks :)

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

No problem!
