How many terms are in a polynomial?
polynomials have 4 or more terms. I learned about that today in my math class. monomial =1 binomial=2 trinomial=3 polynomial=4+
What is the difference between polynomials and trinomials?
A trinomial is a polynomial with three terms.
What does factoring a polynomial mean?
It means finding numbers (constant terms), or polynomials of the same or smaller order that multiply together to give the original polynomial.
Is it possible to find the discriminant of a binomial?
A polynomial discriminant is defined in terms of the difference in the roots of the polynomial equation. Since a binomial has only one root, there is nothing to take its difference from and so in such a situation, the discriminant is a meaningless concept.
Classification of polynomial according to the number of terms?
Polynomials can be classified based on the number of terms they contain. A polynomial with one term is called a monomial, such as 5x or -2y^2. A polynomial with two terms is called a binomial, like 3x + 2 or 4y - 7. A polynomial with three terms is called a trinomial, for example, 2x^2 + 5x - 3. Polynomials with more than three terms are simply referred to as polynomials.
