Standard form :
Classify by degree: Quadratic
Classify by number of terms: Binomial
Explanation:
Standard form suggests that
- Combine all like terms together
- Rearrange it so that the degrees are arranged in a descending order from left to right.
So in
We first combine like terms together
Now we rearrange it so the degrees are in descending order
We can see that the degree in
We can also see that there are two terms in this equation, so it is classified as a binomial.
