Explain what is mononomial, binomial and trinomial?

Polynomial :

Polynomial is an expression, which is a combination of variables, constants, and exponents with a positive integer combined by a mathematical operation.

Example :

$3x^2 -5x + 2$ is a polynomial, in which,

3 - Coefficient of $x^2$

$-5$ - Coefficient of $x$

2 - Constant

x - Variable.

Monomials :

A polynomial with exactly one term is called a monomial.

Example:  $3x^4$.

Binomials :

A polynomial with exactly two terms is called a binomial.

Example:  $3x^4 + 2xy$.

Trinomials :

A polynomial with exactly three terms is called a trinomial.

Example:  $3x^4 +2xy -3$.
