Which of the following is a trinomial with a constant term? A. x^4 + 3y^2 + 2y B. x^3 C. y^5 + 13x +12 D. x(10 - 2) + 7 E. x^8 + 64 F. x + 4y

OpenStudy (chrisisdope1):

An F Wtf But is this multiple choice?

OpenStudy (hippoharry):

no its single choice

OpenStudy (chrisisdope1):

Okay Cool

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

look for something with 3 terms and that has a term with no variables in it

OpenStudy (chrisisdope1):

Lol Thanks Jim Cause Im Confused

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

example: 3x^2 + 5x + 12 is a trinomial since it has 3 terms (term1 is 3x^2, term2 is 5x, term3 is 12) the last term (term3) is a constant term because it has NO variables attached to it. It's always going to be 12 no matter what x is

OpenStudy (hippoharry):

A and B

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

x^4 + 3y^2 + 2y is a trinomial, but none of the terms are constant

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

each term in `x^4 + 3y^2 + 2y` has a variable tacked onto it

OpenStudy (hippoharry):

So C?

OpenStudy (chrisisdope1):

Trinomial Mean 3 terms Tri=3

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`x^3` is a monomial and NOT a trinomial. Don't let the exponent of 3 fool you

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

`y^5 + 13x +12` is the only answer, yes @hippoharry

jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):

D,E,F are all binomials because when you fully simplify them, they will have 2 terms

OpenStudy (hippoharry):

okay thank you i understand

OpenStudy (chrisisdope1):

So It C
