(07.01) Classify the following expression by degree and term: 4x^2 + 3xy + 12yz (2 points) 2nd degree trinomial 3rd degree polynomial 12th degree trinomial 3rd degree trinomial

OpenStudy (tomy12345):

will medal

OpenStudy (welshfella):

a trinomial has 3 terms the degree of the expression is the highest degree present #like 3xy^2 + 3y would be degree 3 because of the xy^2 ( 3 exponents present)

OpenStudy (tomy12345):

would it be a 6th degree trinomial? thann???

OpenStudy (tomy12345):

@welshfella

OpenStudy (welshfella):

it is a trinomial because it has 3 terms But the degree is wrong The value of the degree is the total exponent of just ONE term - the one with the highest value, Or if they are all the same - the value of just one.

OpenStudy (welshfella):

what is the degree of 12yz?

OpenStudy (welshfella):

- the degree of y is 1 and degree of z is 1.

OpenStudy (tomy12345):

oh, it will be it be a 2nd degree trinomial

OpenStudy (welshfella):

right

OpenStudy (tomy12345):

thanks
