Which statement best describes the polynomial -8x^2 ?
Question 3 options:



first degree polynomial with two terms



first degree polynomial with eight terms



second degree monomial

Answer 1

The degree is indicated by the highest exponent in the polynomial. That degree is a 2. And since we have only 1 term in this "polynomial", it is then a second degree monomial. Third choice down.
