CLASSIFYING POLYNOMIALS

Polynomials can be classified based on their degree and the number of terms they have. 

Classification of Polynomials Based on Degree

Classification of Polynomials Based on Number of Terms

Classify each polynomial according to its degree and number of terms. 

Example 1 : 

5x

Solution : 

Degree : 1

Terms : 1

(5x) is a linear monomial. 

Example 2 : 

3x + 2

Solution : 

Degree : 1

Terms : 2

(3x + 2) is a linear binomial. 

Example 3 : 

x² + x + 4

Solution : 

Degree : 2

Terms : 3

(x² + x + 4) is a quadratic trinomial. 

Example 4 : 

5x³ - x² + 5x - 1

Solution : 

Degree : 3

Terms : 4

(5x³ - x² + 5x - 1) is a cubic polynomial. 

Example 5 : 

2x⁷ - 9x⁵ - 5x² - x + 3

Solution : 

Degree : 7

Terms : 5

(2x⁷ - 9x⁵ - 5x² - x + 3) is a 7^th degree polynomial.
