Math Problem Statement
Classify the following polynomials as monomial, binomial, trinomial, or multinomial. Write your answers on a separate sheet of paper.
- 5x2
- 10
- y − 1
- 2x2 − x + 3
- 13z + 10
- x3 + x2 − x + 1
- y2
- − 4
- 2y2 − 3y + 5
- 3y3 + y2
Solution
Here’s how you can classify the given polynomials:
-
5x²
- Classification: Monomial
- Reason: It has only one term.
-
10
- Classification: Monomial
- Reason: It has only one term.
-
y − 1
- Classification: Binomial
- Reason: It has two terms.
-
2x² − x + 3
- Classification: Trinomial
- Reason: It has three terms.
-
13z + 10
- Classification: Binomial
- Reason: It has two terms.
-
x³ + x² − x + 1
- Classification: Multinomial (also called Polynomial)
- Reason: It has four terms.
-
y²
- Classification: Monomial
- Reason: It has only one term.
-
−4
- Classification: Monomial
- Reason: It has only one term.
-
2y² − 3y + 5
- Classification: Trinomial
- Reason: It has three terms.
-
3y³ + y²
- Classification: Binomial
- Reason: It has two terms.
