## Exercise 2.1 Part 2

Question 3: Give one example each of a binomial of degree 35, and of a monomial of degree 100.

Answer: x^35 = 2 and x^100

Question 4: Write the degree of each of the following polynomials:

(i) 5x^3 + 4x^2 + 7x

Answer: Since, highest exponent of variable x = 3, thus degree of given polynomial = 3

(ii) 4 - y^2

Answer: Since, highest exponent of variable y = 2, thus degree of given polynomial = 2

(iii) 5t - sqrt7

Answer: Since, highest exponent of variable y = 1, thus degree of given polynomial = 1

(iv) 3

Answer: Since, polynomial having only a constant term is of zero degree.
Since, it has no variable and a constant polynomial is called as zero polynomial.

Question 5: Classify the following as linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials:

(i) x^2 + x

[A 2 degree polynomial is also called quadratic polynomial]

(ii) x - x^3

[A 3 degree polynomial is also called cubic polynomial]

(iii) y + y^2 + 4

[A 2 degree polynomial is also called quadratic polynomial]

(iv) 1 + x

[A one degree polynomial is called linear polynomial]

(v) 3t

[A one degree polynomial is called linear polynomial]

(vi) r^2

(vii) 7x^3
