What would the proper term be for Tia equation -3x^5-2x^3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

The *

OpenStudy (freckles):

hint: there are two terms so you could use some word with bi in it

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ooh ooh i know look at my picture!

OpenStudy (freckles):

oh wait what equation?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

equation, expression potato , potahto

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Would it be quadratic Bonomial?

OpenStudy (freckles):

still a different vegetable

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Binomial*

OpenStudy (freckles):

if you mean expression then yes you could call it a binomial but you said something about an equation which entails there should be a equal sign and something to follow the equal sign

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Not equation my bad

OpenStudy (freckles):

you can also say something about the degree of the polynomial you could say it is a 5th degree binomial

OpenStudy (freckles):

oh and there should be nothing about quadratic in there

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Haha they don't want us saying degree so would quadratic binomial work for this?

OpenStudy (freckles):

binomial only

OpenStudy (freckles):

quadratics look like this: \[ax^2+bx+c \\ \text{ where } a \neq 0\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh are you sure then is it quatric?

OpenStudy (freckles):

a quadratic is second degree polynomial a quartric is a 4th degree polynomial (or you can call this a biquadratic ) a quintic is a 5th degree polynomial

OpenStudy (freckles):

I skipped 3rd degree polynomial might as well add that in there... a cubic is a 3rd degree polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it's one of those binomial

OpenStudy (freckles):

it has two terms so yes again it is a binomial I also gave you the degree of the polynomial which is 5 because that is the largest exponent on the variable above you can find the special name for a 5th degree polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So quintic binomial!

OpenStudy (freckles):

yes in other words it is a 5th degree binomial as mentioned earlier :p
