Differnet Types of Polynomial - Constant, Linear, Quadratic - Teachoo

 

Polynomials are classified on degree.

 

If,  Degree = 3, it is cubic polynomial

     Degree = 2, It is quadratic polynomial

     Degree = 1, It is linear polynomial

     Degree = 0, It is constant polynomial

Types of Polynomial - Part 2

 

Find degree & type of polynomial

   x 3 − 3x 2 + 4x + 10

-a-

Here, Degree = Highest Power = 3

So, it is  cubic polynomial.

 x 2 + 2x + 4

-a-

Degree = Highest Power = 2

So, it is  quadratic polynomial.

-ea-

 

  x + 30

-a-

Degree = Highest Power = 1

So, it is  linear polynomial.

-ea-

 

 3

-a-

 3 =  3 × 1

 3 =  3 × 0

Degree = Highest Power = 0

So, it is  constant polynomial.
