What are quadratic polynomial quartic polynomial constant polynomial and quintic polynomial?

Those words refer to the degree, or highest exponent that modifies a variable, or the polynomial.Constant=No variables in the polynomialLinear=Variable raised to the first powerQuadratic=Variable raised to the second power (or "squared")Cubic=Variable raised to the third power (or "cubed")Quartic=Variable raised to the fourth powerQuintic=Variable raised to the fifth powerAnything higher than that is known as a "6th-degree" polynomial, or "21st-degree" polynomial. It all depends on the highest exponent in the polynomial. Remember, exponents modifying a constant (normal number) do not count.


Terms with the same variables raised to the same exponent?

Like terms


What is the degree of a polynomial having one term and single variable?

It depends on the power to which the single variable is raised in that one term.


Is xy equals 6 a linear equation?

Yes. You can tell by the fact that both variables are raised to the first power.


Is 6 a polynomial?

Yes 6 is a polynomial, according to the Hawks Learning System.**a more detailed explanation**"A polynomial is defined as a term or a finite sum of terms, with only positive or zero integer exponents permitted on the variables" (Lial, Hornsby, Schneider; 2005)and "The product of a real number and one or more variables raised to powers is called a term" (Lial, Hornsby, Schneider; 2005)So since any variable raised to the zero power is 1, then 6x^0 is the same as 6x1, which equals 6.So yes, 6 is considered a polynomial.

What are terms that have identical variable parts with corresponding variables raised to the same power?

They are "like terms".


Like terms have the same variable but may be raised to different powers?

No. Like terms should contain the same variable or variables, raised to the same powers. Like terms are those that can be combined by addition or subtraction.


Is a number a variable or the product of a number and one or more variables raised to whole number powers?

The statement is true only if either the number is 0, or the variables are all raised to the power 0. In no other case can a variable involved.


Are x and 9x like terms?

Yes, because they both contain the variable "x". y and 9x would not be like terms because they don't have the same variable. x and 9x2 would not be like terms because the variables are not raised to the same power.


What is a number variable or the product of a number and one more variables raised to whole number powers?

It is the integral power of the number or the product of the number and variable(s). there is no special name.


What is polynomia?

A polynomial is a math expression that has a sum of terms, each of the terms include a variable or variables multiplied by a coefficient and raised to a power.

Why can't a polynomial contain a variable raised to a negative power?

because you cant raise a number negatively exponentially


How do you find the GCF of two numbers with variables?

In such cases, typicall different variables appear raised to different powers. You choose the smallest of such powers. If a variable only appears in one of the two expressions, you don't include it at all.


Are 8cĀ²y and -5yc Ā² like terms?

Yes. Both terms contain the same variables raised to the same power. The order of writing the two terms is immaterial since the arithmetical operation indicated by adjacency in variable is multiplication, and for any two numbers a and b, a X b = b X a.


What is the difference between a linear equation with one variable and a linear equation with two variables?

A function of one variable is of the form y=f(x) where all you need to know in order to get values for y is the value of the independent variable, x. A function of two variables is of the form z=f(x,y) where you need to know the values of both x and y to get a value for z. A linear equation is simply and algebraic equation where all variables, regardless of how many there are, are raised to the power of one.


What are variable raised to whole number powers?

They are the integer powers of that variable.
