Question

1. identify the type of polynomial for ( x^{4}+2x^{3}-x^{2}+4 ).

a. polynomial with four terms
b. trinomial
c. binomial
d. monomial

Explanation:

First, identify the individual terms in $x^4 + 2x^3 - x^2 + 4$: the terms are $x^4$, $2x^3$, $-x^2$, and $4$, which totals 4 distinct terms. A monomial has 1 term, binomial has 2, trinomial has 3, so this is a polynomial with four terms.

Answer:

a. Polynomial with four terms
