Question

Classify the following polynomial as linear, quadratic, cubic and biquadratic polynomial:

$3x-5$

Answer 1

Classifying the given polynomial:

Degree of polynomial: If a polynomial is in one variable, the highest power of the polynomial is defined as the degree of polynomial.

Linear polynomial: A polynomial of degree one, is called linear polynomial.

The given polynomial is $3x-5$.

Clearly this polynomial is in one variable & the highest power is $1$. So, it is a linear polynomial.

Hence, $3x-5$ is a linear polynomial.
