Write each expression in general form. Then classify it by its number of terms and its degree.If the expression is not a polynomial, explain why not

A.2+6x^3 -2x
B. -x^4+8
C. 6x-^3+3x

1 answer

A. General form: 6x^3 - 2x + 2
Number of terms: 3
Degree: 3rd degree
Classification: Polynomial

B. General form: -x^4 + 8
Number of terms: 2
Degree: 4th degree
Classification: Polynomial

C. This expression contains a variable raised to a negative exponent, which makes it a non-polynomial expression because negative exponents are not allowed in polynomials. This is not a polynomial.
