Question

UpStudy AI · Accepted Answer

The polynomial $$ 4x^{2} - 7x + 3 $$ consists of three separate terms:

1. $$ 4x^{2} $$ — a quadratic term
2. $$ -7x $$ — a linear term
3. $$ +3 $$ — a constant term

**Definitions:**
- **Monomial:** A polynomial with **one** term (e.g., $$ 4x^{2} $$).
- **Binomial:** A polynomial with **two** terms (e.g., $$ 4x^{2} - 7x $$).
- **Trinomial:** A polynomial with **three** terms (e.g., $$ 4x^{2} - 7x + 3 $$).

Since $$ 4x^{2} - 7x + 3 $$ has three terms, it is classified as a **trinomial**.

**Answer:** It is a trinomial because it consists of three distinct terms.
It is a trinomial because it has three terms.
