I really need help with these two questions. I wrote what I think they are, but I'm not sure. Please help me double check them. Thank you!
1. The first polynomial listed is just the number 9.
We can identify two key things here:
There is one term, so it's a monomial.
There are no factor's, so it has a degree of 0, or is constant.
Your answer is correct.
2. In the next polynomial, we can identify the same things:
There are three terms, so it's a trinomial.
The degree of the polynomial is determined by observing the higher power in a given term, in this case, it's three.
The prefix for relating to a multiple of three is cubic, we so know that this is a cubic trinomial.
Your answer is correct again, well done!
