A polynomial is a linear combination of non-negative integer powers of a variable. A linear combination means you can multiply the terms by constant numbers before summing them. The terms can consists of only positive integer powers of the variable or a constant.
The expression ( 4x^3 - 6x^2 - 10x ) is a polynomial in terms of ( x ). It consists of three terms: ( 4x^3 ), which is a cubic term, ( -6x^2 ), which is a quadratic term, and ( -10x ), which is a linear term. This polynomial can be factored to simplify it, but as it stands, it represents a cubic function of ( x ).
To determine which linear expression is a factor of a given polynomial function, you typically need to perform polynomial division or use the Factor Theorem. If you can substitute a root of the polynomial into the linear expression and obtain a value of zero, then that linear expression is indeed a factor. Alternatively, if you have the polynomial's roots, any linear expression of the form ( (x - r) ), where ( r ) is a root, will be a factor. Please provide the specific polynomial function for a more accurate response.
A polynomial with two terms is called a binomial.
The expression (7x + 9x + 4) can be classified as a polynomial. Specifically, it is a first-degree polynomial or linear polynomial because the highest power of the variable (x) is 1. By combining like terms, it simplifies to (16x + 4).
No, if it is of degree 4, it can have 4 linear factors, regardless of the number of terms.For example, x squared + 5x + 6 = (x+3)(x+2). The unfactored polynomial has three terms, and is of degree 2. Similarly, you can multiply four linear terms together; and you will get a polynomial of degree 4, which has up to 5 terms.

A polynomial is a linear combination of non-negative integer powers of a variable. A linear combination means you can multiply the terms by constant numbers before summing them. The terms can consists of only positive integer powers of the variable or a constant.
An example of a polynomial with 3 terms is 3x3 + 4x + 20, because there are 3 different degrees of x in the polynomial.
It will be a cubic polynomial.
A polynomial with three terms is called a trinomial. Example: x² + 16 + 18 is a trinomial. It has three terms (x²), (16), and (18)
A polynomial of order 3 (a cubic) or higher can have more than three terms. However, the the following polynomial, even though of order 7, has only 2 terms: x7 - 23.

No, integer linear programming is NP-hard and cannot be solved in polynomial time.
Yes, it is a linear polynomial.
