Degree and naming polynomials

A polynomial is a mathematical expression consisting of variables, coefficients, and non-negative integer exponents, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

Polynomials can be classified as monomials (1 term), binomials (2 terms), and trinomials (3 terms).

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the expression.

This polynomial is a trinomial.

This polynomial is a monomial.

The degree of this polynomial is 3.

This polynomial is a second degree trinomial.

The degree of the monomial is 8.

The degree of a polynomial with multiple variables is determined by finding the term with the highest total degree, which is the sum of the exponents of the variables in that term.

This polynomial is a fifth degree trinomial.
