Question
Classify the following polynomials as monomials, binomials, trinomials. Which polynomials do not fit in any category$?\ xy + yz + zt + tx$

Answer

Definitions: A polynomial is monomial if it has exactly one term. It is called binomial if it has exactly two non-zero terms. A polynomial ​is a trinomial if it has exactly three non-zero terms. The polynomial $xy + yz + zt + tx$ has exactly four terms $xy, yz, zt$ and $tx.$ Therefore, it doesn't belong to any of the categories.
