Write the polynomial in general form and classify the polynomial by its number of terms and by its degree. The polynomial is, -9m^2 + 4m^3

Answer 1

An expression with two terms is a binomial.

In order to write any binominal in standard form, you look at the degree of each term. You then write each term in order of degree, from highest to lowest, left to right.

First, look at the degrees for each term in the expression: -9m^2 + 4m^3

-9m^2 = 2 degree 4m^3 = 3 degree

 

Next, the highest degree identifies the expression of the binominal

which is the 3rd degree.

Solution:

The standard form of -9m^2 + 4m^3 is a binominal of the 3rd degree format.

I hope this information is useful. Please let me know if you require any more assistance. If anyone in my neighborhood is interested in setting up an in-person math tutoring session. I look forward to hearing from them. Have an amazing day. Doris H.

Answer 2

The general form of a polynomial is written in descending order of the degree, so we get 4m³ - 9m². The polynomial has two terms (4m³ and -9m² ) which means the polynomial is a binomial. The term 4m³ has an exponent of 3, making this a degree 3 polynomial.

Answer 3

-9m² + 4m³ is a binomial of third degree. It could be called a cubic binmonial
