Question

which fact(s) did you include in your explanation? a cubic polynomial has a degree of 3. since 3 is the highest degree, the polynomial could contain terms with degree 2, 1, or 0 (quadratic, linear, or constant). a trinomial can have only 3 terms. including terms with degrees of 3, 2, 1, and 0 would mean the polynomial has 4 terms. the cubic trinomial could consist of a cubic, quadratic, and linear term, with no constant term.

Explanation:

A cubic polynomial has degree 3. A trinomial has 3 terms. A polynomial with highest - degree 3 can have terms of lower degrees. These facts help in understanding the structure of a cubic trinomial.

Answer:

A. A cubic polynomial has a degree of 3.
B. Since 3 is the highest degree, the polynomial could contain terms with degree 2, 1, or 0 (quadratic, linear, or constant).
C. A trinomial can have only 3 terms.
E. The cubic trinomial could consist of a cubic, quadratic, and linear term, with no constant term.
