Labeling a polynomial based on the degree and number of terms

The video tutorial explains how to classify polynomials by ensuring they are in standard form, identifying the degree, and counting the number of terms. It specifically discusses quartic polynomials and binomials, providing a step-by-step guide to classification.

What is the first step in ensuring a polynomial is correctly represented?

• List the terms in alphabetical order

• Ensure it is in standard form

• Identify the coefficients

• Count the number of terms

How do you determine the degree of a polynomial?

• By counting the number of terms

• By identifying the largest coefficient

• By finding the largest power of the variable

• By adding all the exponents

What is a polynomial with a degree of four called?

• Cubic

• Quadratic

• Quartic

• Quintic

How do you classify a polynomial with two terms?

• Trinomial

• Binomial

• Monomial

• Quadrinomial

What should you do after classifying the polynomial by degree?

• Graph the polynomial

• Count the number of terms

• Find the roots

• Simplify the expression
