Question

Classify the following as a constant into linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials:
$t^2$

Answer 1

We know that

(a) a polynomial in which exponent of the variable is zero, is called a constant polynomial.

(b) a polynomial of degree $1$ is called a linear polynomial.

(c) A polynomial of degree $2$ is called a quadratic polynomial.

(d) A polynomial of degree $3$ is called a cubic polynomial.

Here $t^2$ has degree $2$ , so it is a quadratic polynomial
