Question

Write whether the following statements are True or False.
Every polynomial is a binomial

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

A polynomial is an expression of more than two algebraic terms, especially the sum of several terms that contain different powers of the same variable whereas a binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms.

For example, in the expression $3x^2+4x+5$, we have the sum of the terms $3x^2,4x$ and $5x^0$ having same variable $x$ with different powers $0,1$ and $2$ and therefore it is a polynomial but it is not a binomial because a binomial consists only two terms.

For instance, $3x^2+5$ is an example of a polynomial which is also a binomial.

Hence, every polynomial is not a binomial.
