if there are all positive exponents, then it is a polynomial.
Terms are separated by +/- signs, so just count the terms to determine the type.
Add the exponents in each term; the highest sum is the degree of the polynomial.
Determine whether each expression is a polynomial. If it is a polynomial, find the degree and determine whether it is a monomial, binomial, or trinomial.
