Polynomial+Basics+Quick+Check+Solutions

1) The polynomial can be classified as a binomial because it has 2 terms.

2) Descending order: -x 3 + 6x 2 - 5x + 14. The leading coefficient is -1 and the degree is 3 (highest exponent).

3) Answers will vary. In order for the polynomial to be a binomial it needs to have 2 terms. In order for the polynomial to have a degree of 4, and leading coefficient of 3, the first term needs to have a coefficient of 3 and an exponent of 4. Here is an example: 3x 4 + 8x 2
