Classifying Polynomials
Polynomials can be classified (named) by the number of terms.
Polynomial Number of terms Name
3x 2 1 term monomial
5x 8 2 terms binomial
4x 2 9 x 10 3 terms trinomial

Polynomials can also be classified by the degree (largest exponent of the variable).
Polynomial Degree Name
–24 0 degree (no power of x ) constant
2x 8 1st degree (x to the 1st power) linear
3x 2 7 2nd degree ( x 2 ) quadratic
12 x 3 10 3rd degree ( x 3 ) cubic

DIRECTIONS: Complete the table below.
