Question 3 Unsaved
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



second degree binomial

Respuesta :

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.
