CLASSIFYING POLYNOMIALS
A POLYNOMIAL can be classified by its number of terms and by its degree.
2
NUMBER OF TERMS
A polynomial with 1 term is a MONOMIAL.
A polynomial with 2 terms is a BINOMIAL.
A polynomial with 3 terms is a TRINOMIAL.
A polynomial with more than 3 terms is called a POLYNOMIAL.
3
DEGREE OF A MONOMIAL
The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of the variables.
EXAMPLE - The degree of
a2bc3 is 6 because 2+1+3=6
4
DEGREE OF A POLYNOMIAL
The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent.
Polynomials must be written in standard form before classifying by degree.
A polynomial with one variable is written in standard form when its terms are written in descending order by degree.
5
6
5x2−2x+1
The highest exponent is the 2 and there are 3 terms.
This is a QUADRATIC TRINOMIAL.
7
3x4+4x2
The highest exponent is the 4 and there are 2 terms.
This is a QUARTIC BINOMIAL.
8
8x−1
While it appears there is no exponent, the x has an understood exponent of 1 and there are 2 terms.
Therefore, this is a LINEAR BINOMIAL.
9
5
There is no variable at all and there is one term.
Therefore, this is a CONSTANT MONOMIAL.
Technically, 5 could be written as 5x0 because of the
Zero Power Property of Exponents.
10
3x2y5
Since both variables are part of the same term, we must add their exponents together to determine the degree.
2 + 5 = 7 so this is a 7TH DEGREE MONOMIAL.
