Question

Which option best describes the polynomial? 2x^3 - 7x 1. Second degree trinomial 2. Fourth degree polynomial 3. None of the other answers are correct 4. Fifth degree monomial 5. Third degree binomial

Answer 1

3. None of the other answers are correct.

Explanation:

The statement has a mistake. Correct form is presented below:

Which option best describes the polynomial
`f(x) = 2\cdot x^(3) - 7\cdot x + 1`? 1) Second degree trinomial, 2) Fourth degree polynomial, 3) None of the other answers are correct, 4) Fifth degree monomial, 5) Third degree binomial.

The degree of the polynomial is determined by the maximum exponent of a monomial contained within the algebraic expression, whereas the nature of the polynomial is defined by the number of monomials inside the expressions. In a nutshell,
`f(x) = 2\cdot x^(3) - 7\cdot x + 1` represents a third degree trinomial.
