Question

Match the following:

• A. Quadratic polynomial
• B. Constant polynomial
• C. Cubic polynomial
• D. Linear polynomial

Answer 1

Polynomial $\sqrt{2}x-1$ is a linear polynomial because the highest exponent of x is 1.
Polynomial $4–5y^2$ is a quadratic polynomial because the highest exponent of y is 2.
Polynomial $3x^0$ is a constant polynomial because the exponent of the variable is 0.
Polynomial $y^3-y$ is a cubic polynomial because the highest exponent of y is 3.
