The general form of a polynomial is a sum of terms, where each term is a product of a constant (called the coefficient) and a variable raised to a non-negative integer exponent. The degree of the polynomial is determined by the highest exponent of the variable in the expression.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Polynomials can have one or more terms. A polynomial with one term is called a <strong>monomial<\/strong>, with two terms a <strong>binomial<\/strong>, and with three terms a <strong>trinomial<\/strong>. For example, the expression 3&#215;2+5x\u221273x^2 + 5x &#8211; 7 is a polynomial with three terms. Here, 3, 5, and -7 are the coefficients, and x2x^2, xx, and the constant term \u22127-7 represent the powers of the variable xx.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The degree of a polynomial is important because it helps in determining its behavior and how it will behave when graphed. For instance, a polynomial of degree 2, known as a quadratic, graphs as a parabola. Polynomials can be classified based on their degree as well. A polynomial of degree 1 is a linear polynomial, degree 2 is quadratic, degree 3 is cubic, and so on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In contrast, the terms <strong>divisor<\/strong>, <strong>factor<\/strong>, and <strong>root<\/strong> do not directly relate to the definition of a polynomial. A divisor or factor refers to numbers or expressions that divide another expression without a remainder, and a root is the value of the variable that makes the polynomial equal to zero.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An algebraic expression with a degree of non-negative integer that has multiple terms made up of real numbers, variables and product of real numbers and variables is called _ A. divisor B. factor C. polynomial D. root The correct answer and explanation is: The correct answer is C. polynomial.
