Question

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

a. monomial

b. polynomial with four terms

c. binomial

d. trinomial

Explanation:

A term in a polynomial is a single number, variable, or product of numbers and variables, separated by addition or subtraction signs. The polynomial $x^4 + 2x^3 - x^2 + 4$ has four distinct terms: $x^4$, $2x^3$, $-x^2$, and $4$. A monomial has 1 term, binomial has 2, trinomial has 3, so this matches the definition of a polynomial with four terms.

Answer:

b. Polynomial with four terms
