Is it a monomial, binomial, trinomial, or polynomial

The video tutorial explains the basic concepts of polynomials, including monomials, binomials, trinomials, and polynomials. It discusses how to identify different types of polynomials based on the number of terms and emphasizes the importance of combining like terms to simplify expressions. The tutorial also clarifies that while trinomials are a type of polynomial, all polynomials must have at least two terms. The video aims to help students understand these concepts and apply them in mathematical problems.

What is a polynomial?

• The multiplication of two numbers

• The addition of two or more monomials

• A single variable

• A single number

Which of the following is a trinomial?

• x + y

• x^2 + 3x + 2

• x^3

• x + 2

Why can't C^2 and C be combined?

• They are both numbers

• They are not like terms

• They are already combined

• They are both variables

What is the result of combining like terms in the expression 2C^2 + 8C + 6?

• 2C^2 + 14

• 2C^2 + 8C + 6

• 10C^2 + 6

• 8C + 6

How is a trinomial related to a polynomial?

• A trinomial is not a polynomial

• A trinomial is a type of polynomial

• A trinomial is larger than a polynomial

• A trinomial is smaller than a polynomial
