Polynomials are named based on two criteria:
Polynomials are named based on two criteria:
1.  the highest exponent (degree)
Polynomials are named based on two criteria:
1.  the highest exponent (degree)
2. the number of terms
Polynomials are named based on two criteria:
So when given a polynomial
1.  the highest exponent (degree)
2. the number of terms
Polynomials are named based on two criteria:
So when given a polynomial
1.  the highest exponent (degree)
2. the number of terms
x3-4x2+3x-1
Polynomials are named based on two criteria:
So when given a polynomial
The highest exponent (degree) is three
1.  the highest exponent (degree)
2. the number of terms
x3-4x2+3x-1
highest exponent
Polynomials are named based on two criteria:
So this is a "cubic polynomial with four terms".
So when given a polynomial
The highest exponent (degree) is three
1.  the highest exponent (degree)
2. the number of terms
and the number of terms is four
