What is a polynomial?

Back

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

Front

What is the degree of a polynomial?

Back

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

Front

What is a constant in a polynomial?

Back

A constant is a term in a polynomial that does not contain any variables, such as the number 5 in the polynomial x^2 - 2x + 5.

Front

What is a coefficient?

Back

A coefficient is a numerical factor in a term of a polynomial, such as -1 in the term -x.

Front

What is a monomial?

Back

A monomial is a polynomial with only one term, such as 3x or -2.

Front

What is a binomial?

Back

A binomial is a polynomial with exactly two terms, such as x + 5 or 3x - 2.

Front

What is a trinomial?

Back

A trinomial is a polynomial with exactly three terms, such as x^2 - 2x + 5.

Front

How do you simplify the expression a + a - 0.3a?

Back

The simplified expression is 1.7a.

Front

What is the perimeter of a polygon represented by the expression 3x + 10?

Back

The expression 3x + 10 represents the total distance around the polygon, where 'x' is a variable representing a side length.

Front

What is the difference between a term and a polynomial?

Back

A term is a single mathematical expression (like 3x), while a polynomial is a sum of multiple terms (like 3x + 2x^2 - 5).
