$x^2 + 3x + 1$ is an example of a linear polynomial

Explanation:

Step1: Recall polynomial degree rules

A linear polynomial has degree 1 (form \(ax + b\)). A quadratic polynomial has degree 2 (form \(ax^2 + bx + c\), \(a
eq0\)).

Step2: Analyze \(x^2 + 3x + 1\)

The highest power of \(x\) is 2. So its degree is 2. Polynomials with degree 2 are quadratic.

Answer:

quadratic polynomial
