Question

Identify monomials, binomials, trinomials and polynomials from the following.

$x+y+2z$

Answer 1

Identifying the expression as monomials, binomials, trinomials and polynomials :

We know that,

Algebraic expression having only one term is called as monomial.

Algebraic expression having only two term is called as binomial.

Algebraic expression having only three term is called as trinomial.

The given expression is $x+y+2z$

Here, number of terms are three i.e., $x,y,2z$

Hence, the given expression is a trinomial.
