Question

The maximum number of terms in a polynomial of degree 10 is :

• A. 9
• B. 10
• C. 11
• D. 1

Answer 1

The correct option is C 11

The maximum no. of terms in a polynomial of degree 10 is a polynomial that can have terms with powers of $x$ as 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.

Hence, there are 11 such terms that can be possible with these powers of $x$ and a real coefficient.

Hence, option $C$ is correct.
