If the highest power in a polynomial is 1, what is it called?

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: Linear polynomial

The governing concept is classification by the degree of a polynomial. The degree of a non-zero polynomial is the greatest exponent of its variable having a non-zero coefficient. A polynomial of degree 0 is called a constant polynomial, one of degree 1 is called a linear polynomial, one of degree 2 is quadratic, and one of degree 3 is cubic. Since the highest power stated in the question is 1, the polynomial has degree 1 and is therefore called a linear polynomial. Hence option B is correct. Option A describes degree 0, option C describes degree 2, and option D describes degree 3. The classification depends on the greatest exponent, not on the number of terms.
