What is 4x – 5y + 7z – 10xyz?

Question

a) trinomial

b) monomial

c) 4 term polynomial

d) binomial

Answer 1

You count the number of terms (number/letter combination, separated by plus or minus signs). Here we have 4 terms, so c) would be the correct answer. a trinomial would have 3 terms, a monomial would have 1 term and a binomial would have 2 terms, so a), b) and d) would not be the correct answers.
