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