this term 2x is not a polynomial. this term is a monomial. since only one term was listed it can not be a polynomial. A polynomial is like four or more terms. a trinomial is three terms and a binomial is two terms.
Distributive Property
A binomial is a mathematical term for a polynomial with two terms.
2x is just 2x and it is not a polynomial. This is a monomial because it just has one term. a polynomial is four or more terms.
A term only has variables and constants multiplied among themselves (or, in some cases, divided), such as 5xy, or -3x3. A polynomial is the sum of several such terms.

Distributive Property
The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it.For example, the polynomial 8x2y3 + 5x - 10 has three terms. The first term has a degree of 5, the second term has a degree of 1, and the last term has a degree of 0. Therefore, the polynomial is degree five.
A polynomial is several terms added together.
The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it.7x2y2 + 4x2 + 5y + 13 is a polynomial with four terms. The first term has a degree of 4, the second term has a degree of 2, the third term has a degree of 1 and the fourth term has a degree of 0. The polynomial has a degree of 4.

First off, it is NOT A QUINTIC! Typically a polynomial of four or more terms is called "a polynomial of n terms", where n is the number of terms. Only the one, two, and three term polynomials are referred to by a particular naming convention.
an example of a three-term polynomial is: Ax2 + Bx + C. (that's Ax{squared})

If you want to multiply the monomial by the polynomial, yes. In that case, you have to multiply the monomial by every term of the polynomial. For example: a (b + c + d) = ab + ac + ad More generally, when you multiply together two polynomials, you have to multiply each term in one polynomial by each term of the other polynomial; for example: (a + b)(c + d) = ac + ad + bc + bd All this can be derived from the distributive property (just apply the distributive property repeatedly).
A term only has variables and constants multiplied among themselves (or, in some cases, divided), such as 5xy, or -3x3. A polynomial is the sum of several such terms.
First look at the degree of each term: this is the power of the variable. The highest such number, from all the terms in the polynomial is the degree of the polynomial. Thus x2 + 1/7*x + 3 has degree 2. x + 7 - 2x3 + 0.8x5 has degree 5.
