Identify constant, linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials from the following polynomials:$ g(x)=2 x^{3}-7 x+4 $


Given:

\( g(x)=2 x^{3}-7 x+4 \)

To do: 

We have to classify the given polynomial as constant, linear, quadratic and cubic polynomial.

Solution: 

Polynomials are expressions in which each term is a constant multiplied by a variable raised to a whole number power.

A constant polynomial is a polynomial of degree 0.

A linear polynomial is a polynomial of degree 1.

A quadratic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 2.

A cubic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 3.

A biquadratic polynomial is a polynomial of degree 4.

A polynomial's degree is the highest or the greatest power of a variable in a polynomial equation.

To find the degree, identify the exponents on the variables in each term, and add them together to find the degree of each term.

In \( g(x)=2 x^{3}-7 x+4 \), the term $2x^3$ has a variable of power $3$.

This implies the degree of \( g(x)=2 x^{3}-7 x+4 \) is $3$.

Therefore, the given polynomial is a cubic polynomial.
