Classifying polynomials

A polynomial is a mathematical expression consisting of variables (also called indeterminates) raised to non-negative integer powers and coefficients. For example, $$2x^2 + 3x + 1$$ is a polynomial.

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial. For example, in the polynomial $$4x^3 + 2x^2 - x + 5$$ , the degree is 3.

Cubic Binomial.

5th degree or Quintic.

Trinomial.

Cubic.

A monomial is a polynomial with only one term. For example, $$5x^2$$ is a monomial.

A binomial is a polynomial with exactly two terms. For example, $$x^2 + 3x$$ is a binomial.

A trinomial is a polynomial with exactly three terms. For example, $$x^2 + 3x + 2$$ is a trinomial.

A constant polynomial is a polynomial of degree 0, which means it has no variable term. For example, $$5$$ is a constant polynomial.
