Math Problem Statement
What kind of polynomial is c(1-3x)
Solution
The expression can be considered a linear polynomial, assuming is a constant.
Here’s why:
- Expand the expression:
- The result is , which is a polynomial of degree 1 because the highest power of is 1 (from the term ).
Therefore, the expression is a linear polynomial, because it has the general form , where and .
