Unit B Polynomial Equations and Factoring Mixed Practice

Match the following polynomials to their names based on the number of terms:

• Monomial

• -x²

• Polynomial

• 5 - x⁵

• Trinomial

• -2x + 6x³ + 8

• Binomial

• 2x² - 4 +5x⁴ - 7x

What is the degree for the polynomial:

5 - x⁵

Write the polynomial in standard form, then find Leading Coefficient:

5 - x⁵

• 5 - x⁵; Leading Coefficient is 5

• 5 - x⁵; Leading Coefficient is -1

• -x⁵ + 5; Leading Coefficient is -1

• -x⁵ + 5; Leading Coefficient is 5

What is the constant term for the polynomial:

5 - x⁵

What is the degree for the polynomial:

-2x + 6x³ + 8

Write the polynomial in standard form, then find Leading Coefficient:

-2x + 6x³ + 8

• 6x³ - 2x + 8; Leading Coefficient is 6

• - 2x + 6x³+ 8; Leading Coefficient is -2

• 8 - 2x + 6x³; Leading Coefficient is 8

• 6x³ + 8 - 2x; Leading Coefficient is 6

What is the constant term for the polynomial:

-2x + 6x³ + 8

What is the degree for the polynomial:

-x²

Write the polynomial in standard form, then find Leading Coefficient:

-x²

• -x²; Leading Coefficient is -x

• -x²; Leading Coefficient is -1

• -x²; Leading Coefficient is -x²

• -x²; Leading Coefficient is 0

What is the constant term for the polynomial:

-x²
