Exercise 50 Page 11

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

Cubic trinomial

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.

10t-4t^2+6t^3

CommutativePropAdd

Commutative Property of Addition

6t^3-4t^2+10t

We now have the standard form of the polynomial. 6t^3-4t^2+10t We can see above that the highest exponent of the polynomial is 3 and it has three terms. Therefore, it is a cubic trinomial.
