Determine if the expression -4c5 + c3 is a polynomial or not. If it is a polynomial, state the type and degree of the polynomial. .

Sagot :

It is a polynomial. 5th degree (incomplete) polynomial. Binomial.

1) Considering the expression:

[tex]-4c^5+c^3[/tex]

2) And the Polynomial definition as:

[tex]P(x)=a_nx^n+a^{}_{n-1}x^{n-1}+.\ldots+a_0[/tex]

We can state that this is an incomplete polynomial.

About the degree, it is a 5th-degree polynomial given by its highest exponent.

Binomial since it has two terms.

3) Hence the answer is an incomplete polynomial, 5th degree.
