Question

Classify into monomials, binomials or trinomials:

$p+q+r-5p$

Answer 1

Check the terms for type of polynomials.

Given, terms are $p+q+r-5p$

Simplify the expression.

$$\begin{gathered} =p+q+r-5p \\ =-4p+q+r \end{gathered}$$

After simplification, number of terms are $3$.

Since, we know that polynomials which are having three terms are known as trinomials.

Hence, given terms are trinomials.
