I will discuss polynomials. A polynomial can be
classified according to the number of expressions that it has in a given
equation. A monomial has only one expression having a coefficient (number) and
a variable (letter). A binomial has two expressions, same as the definition of
the monomial. And a trinomial has three expressions, same as the definition of
a monomial. We can determine the degree of a polynomial by looking at the
exponents of the given polynomial. If an expression has two variables with
different exponents, you can add their exponent to determine their degree.
