Introduction to Polynomials — Quiz

Question 8 • Algebra II

Which statement is true?

Answer

All monomials are of degree 1.

All binomials are of degree 1.

All constants are of degree 0.

All trinomials are of degree 3.

Explanation

A nonzero constant has degree 0 because it contains no variable raised to a positive power. The other statements confuse the number of terms with degree: a monomial can have any degree, as in x², and a binomial or trinomial can also have degrees other than 1 or 3.
