Question

Classify the following expression by degree and term:

4x^2 + 3xy + 12yz

2nd degree trinomial
3rd degree polynomial
12th degree trinomial
3rd degree trinomial

Answer 1

I'm thinking either C or D

Answer 2

the degree is the highest power
the term just
in the circles are terms

Answer 3

what does "2nd degree" mean??

Answer 4

that middle supposed to be 3xy not 2xy

Answer 5

trinomial mean 3 terms

Answer 6

power2 means degree 2

Answer 7

So that would make it C?

Answer 8

\(\large \begin{array}{cccllll}
4x^{\color{brown}{ 2}} &+ 3x^{\color{brown}{ 1}} y^{\color{brown}{ 1}} &+ 12y^{\color{brown}{ 1}}z^{\color{brown}{ 1}}\\
\uparrow &\uparrow &\uparrow \\
{\color{brown}{ 2}}&{\color{brown}{ 1+1}}&{\color{brown}{ 1+1}}\\
1^{st}\ term&2^{nd}\ term&3^{rd}\ term
\end{array}\)

Answer 9

Answer 10

oddlin enough, all 3 terms have the same degree
so the "highest" is 2 per se

Answer 11

oddly rather

Answer 12

so A?

Answer 13

is a 2nd degree TRI(3)nomial

Answer 14
