Answer 2

@dakid88

Answer 3

any ideas?

Answer 4

you have to order your polynomial in descending powers of p

Answer 5

i got that

Answer 6

first term is \(7 p^3 q\)

Answer 7

i need help with 2 and 3

Answer 8

questions 2 and 3

Answer 9

for part 2:
ypur polynomial is composed by three monomials

Answer 10

your*

Answer 11

the first set of numbers correct ?

Answer 12

the 7p^3 p

Answer 13

we have the subsequent monomials:
\(7p^3q, -10p^2q, -5q\)

Answer 14

so, your polynomial is a trinomial

Answer 15

okay so there are 2 trinomials and a bi momial?

Answer 16

no, we have three monomials only,
and those three monomials compose your trinomial

Answer 17

okay

Answer 18

for part 3:
degree of your trinomial is given by the degree of the highest degree monomial

Answer 19

for example:
degree of \(7p^3q\) is \(3+1=4\)

Answer 20

so 10?

Answer 21

degree of \(-10p^2q\) is \(2+1=3\)

Answer 22

finally, degree of \(-5q\) is \(1\)

Answer 23

please keep in mind that degree of monomial is the sum of the exponents of its factors

Answer 24

okay thanks

Answer 25

so, what is the highest number among:
4, 3, 1?

Answer 26

4

Answer 27

yes! your polynomial is a fourth degree trinomial

Answer 28

thamks and is that a answer? for my question?

Answer 29

yes!

Answer 30

thnks

Answer 31

could u help me with another qu?

Answer 32
