Exercise 47 Page 11

The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent of a variable.

Quartic binomial

Practice makes perfect

We want to classify the given polynomial by degree and by number of terms. Let's use the Commutative Property of Addition to rewrite the polynomial in standard form.

9+y^4

CommutativePropAdd

Commutative Property of Addition

y^4+9

We now have the standard form of the polynomial. y^4+9 We can see above that the highest exponent of the polynomial is 4 and it has two terms. Therefore, it is a quartic binomial.
