Question

Identify constant, linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials from the following polynomials:

(iii) $h\left(x\right)=-3x+\frac{1}{2}$

Answer 1

Given: $h\left(x\right)=-3x+\frac{1}{2}$

In the given polynomial $h\left(x\right)=-3x+\frac{1}{2}$, highest power of the variable $x$ is $1$ so the degree of the polynomial is $1$.

We know that a polynomial of degree $1$ is konwn as linear polynomial.

Hence, polynomial $h\left(x\right)=-3x+\frac{1}{2}$ is a linear.
