The polynomial 7x3 + 6x2 - 2 has a degree of 3, making it cubic.
Yes, f(x) = 2 is a polynomial of degree 0 (because there are no x terms).
A binomial.
quadratic
Oh, dude, it's like super simple. So, basically, you classify polynomials based on their degree, which is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial. If the highest power is 1, it's a linear polynomial; if it's 2, it's quadratic; and if it's 3, it's cubic. Anything beyond that, like a fourth-degree polynomial or higher, we just call them "higher-degree polynomials." Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
