Question

WILL GIVE MEDAL!!
I need to know if i'm right.. if not then i would like an explanation please :)
Choose the correct classification of 5x + 2.

A) Third degree polynomial
B) Fourth degree trinomial
C) First degree binomial
D) Sixth degree polynomial

I said C

Answer 1

why would you say is a First degree binomial?

Answer 2

There is only one Variable ''X''

Answer 3

so you're saying that \(\large 5x^2+2\) is also a First degree binomial?

Answer 4

Ya I on polynomials now I think that's right

Answer 5

http://www.virtualnerd.com/images/Tutorial/Alg1_7_2_3-diagram_thumb-lg.png <----- notice, it has to do with the exponents and how many variables in the term

Answer 6

no i think that would be a second...

Answer 7

c you right

Answer 8

anyhow \(\large {
5x^{\color{red}{ 2 }}+2\impliedby \textit{2nd degree}\\
5x^{\color{red}{ 2}}z^{\color{red}{ 5}}+2\impliedby {\color{red}{ 2+5}}=7\quad \textit{7th degree}\\
5x+2\implies 5x^{\color{red}{ 1}}+2\impliedby ?
}\)

Answer 9

So i'm right ?

Answer 10

it's 1st degree, because
the term with variables, has only 1 variable and that variable has an exponent of 1

Answer 11

So i was right! Thank you for the detailed explanation :)

Answer 12

well.. nope you were not
but is a first degree one anyway

Answer 13
