Two terms is a binomial.

More than two terms is a polynomial.

Binomials are not part of the set of polynomials.

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?

Strictly we do not classify polynomials by the number of terms but by the highest power of the variable (its degree).For example, if x is the variable then a polynomial with highest power...... x0 (degree 0) is a constant e.g. 4x0 = 4... x1 (degree 1) is linear e.g. 2x1 + 5 = 2x + 5... x2 (degree 2) is a quadratic e.g. 3x2 - 2x + 1... x3 (degree 3) is a cubic e.g. 2x3 - 3x2 - 2x + 1... x4 (degree 4) is a quartic e.g. 7x4 + 2x3 - 3x2 - 2x + 1(degree 5) quintic, (degree 6) sextic, (degree 7) septic, (degree 8) octic,...Although it appears as if the degree of a polynomial is always one less than the number of terms, in general this not the case. For example, x3 - 9 is cubic with only 2 terms or 4x8 is an octic with only one term.

Will the product of two polynomials always be a polynomial?

Yes, the product of two polynomials will always be a polynomial. This is because when you multiply two polynomials, you are essentially combining like terms and following the rules of polynomial multiplication, which results in a new polynomial with coefficients that are the products of the corresponding terms in the original polynomials. Therefore, the product of two polynomials will always be a polynomial.

Is second-term polynominal a bionomial polynominal?

A binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. A polynomial is an expression of more than two algebraic terms, esp. the sum of several terms that contain different powers of the same variable(s). The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms. Now that we have the definitions and the correct spellings out of the way, the answer to your question is a qualified no. There's no such thing as a second-term polynomial. I suspect you mean second degree, but both binomials and polynomials can be second-degree. There's also no such thing as a binomial polynomial. Expressions of two terms are binomials, more than two terms are polynomials, exactly three terms are trinomials.
