Core Understanding
Monomial: one term. Binomial: two. Trinomial: three. Degree of 12 x y^6 z^6 is 1+6+6=13. Negative exponents are not polynomial.
Examples non-negative integer powers · P/Q with Q != 0 · whole-number powers · POLYNOMIAL OR NOT: Monomial: one term. Binomial: two. Trinomial: three. Degree of 12 x y^6 z^6 is 1+6+6=13. Negative exponents are not poly
Exam Application
State the correct term, connect it to the chapter rule or evidence, and use a clear example or calculation.
Examples Define first · Show the rule or evidence · Check units, labels, and conclusion
WHAT — POLYNOMIAL OR NOT
Monomial: one term. Binomial: two. Trinomial: three. Degree of 12 x y^6 z^6 is 1+6+6=13. Negative exponents are not polynomial.
HOW — Use the idea
Identify what is given, select this topic's rule or evidence, apply it one step at a time, and check the result.
In simple words
Do not merge polynomial or not with a neighbouring idea that uses a different definition, rule, or method.
Key points
- non-negative integer powers
- PQ with Q != 0
