• 2

• 5

• 3

• 4

Answer explanation

The polynomial has 5 distinct terms: 6a^2bx^4y^2, -7ab^2x^3y^2, 8b^3x^2y^5z, -3xyz, and 4. Each term is separated by a '+' or '-' sign, confirming the total count as 5.

• 9th-degree

• 8th-degree

• 11th-degree

• 3rd-degree

Answer explanation

To find the degree of the polynomial, identify the term with the highest total exponent. The term 8b^3x^2y^5z has a total exponent of 1+3+2+5=11, making it the highest. Thus, the polynomial is 11th-degree.

• quadratic (2nd degree)

• quartic (4th degree)

• linear (1st degree)

• cubic (3rd degree)

Answer explanation

The expression 6x - 5 + x^3 - 3x^2 has a highest degree term of x^3, which indicates it is a cubic expression. Therefore, the correct classification is cubic (3rd degree).

• monomial

• polynomial

• binomial

• trinomial

Answer explanation

The expression 6x - 5 + x^3 - 3x^2 has four terms: 6x, -5, x^3, and -3x^2. Since it has more than three terms, it is classified as a polynomial. Therefore, the correct answer is 'polynomial'.

CCSS.HSA.APR.A.1

Answer explanation

The constant term in the expression 6x - 5 + x^3 - 3x^2 is the term that does not contain any variable. Here, -5 is the only term without 'x', making it the constant term.
