If a polynomial has degree (2), what type of polynomial is it called?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: Quadratic polynomial
A polynomial whose highest power of the variable is 2 has degree 2 and is called a quadratic polynomial. For example, \(3x^2-5x+1\) is quadratic. A linear polynomial has degree 1, so it is not correct. Exam tip: identify the polynomial by its highest exponent.
