I dont understand this question at all so if you could help that would be great

anonymous · Answer

Okay… so polynomials (like this one) are classified in two ways.

anonymous · Answer

1. By degree
2. By number of terms

meowlover17 · Answer

Wait i think its 6th degree

anonymous · Answer

That's correct!

meowlover17 · Answer

Since your supposed to classify by the highest exponent

meowlover17 · Answer

Thanks for your help :D could you help me with one more?

anonymous · Answer

The highest exponent of the entire polynomial is considered the degree.

meowlover17 · Answer

Yep :)

anonymous · Answer

So the answer would be a trinomial because there are three terms. And sure, I'll help out, but try doing it in another thread so others have the chance to gain more medals :)
