Answer 3

Well, We can separate them into levels.

power of 2, binomial
power of 3, trinomial
power of 4 or greater, polynomial

e.g., x^2 - 3 is a binomial
While x^3 + x^2 - 3 is a trinomial.

We classify them by their largest power.

Answer 4

Degree is different.

We just add the powers.

e.g., x^2 + y^2 = 7. the degree is 7.

A monomial has one term. So, for exaple, 11x
binomial has two, tri has three, and poly is greater and so on.

Answer 7

Is this correct: x^2 + y^2 = 7. the degree is 7.

Answer 8

Oops! gosh, there i go with my typing again ;P x^2 + y^2 = degree of 4.

Answer 9

A monomial such as x^2 *y^2 has degree 4.

But, not the binomial x^2 + y^2.
