7-1 Classifying Polynomials

What is the standard form of a polynomial?

• The standard form of a polynomial is when the terms are arranged in ascending order of their degrees.

• The standard form of a polynomial is when the terms are arranged in descending order of their degrees.

• The standard form of a polynomial is when all coefficients are positive.

• The standard form of a polynomial is when the polynomial is factored completely.

• A) Quadratic binomial

• B) Cubic monomial

• C) Quartic trinomial

• D) Linear polynomial

What is a polynomial?

• A mathematical expression consisting of variables raised to negative powers.

• A mathematical expression consisting of variables raised to non-negative integer powers, combined using addition, subtraction, and multiplication.

• A constant value that does not change.

• A type of equation that only includes division and square roots.

What is the degree of a polynomial?

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

• The degree of a polynomial is the sum of the coefficients of its terms.

• The degree of a polynomial is the number of terms in the polynomial.

• The degree of a polynomial is always a negative integer.

What is a quintic polynomial?

• A polynomial of degree four
