1. Adding and Subtracting Polynomials
Sign In
The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent of a variable.
Quartic binomial
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.
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.
