Answers
(i) The degree of x² + x is 2.
So, it is a quadratic polynomial.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
(ii) The degree of x – x³ is 3.
So, it is a cubic polynomial.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
(iii) The degree of y + y² + 4 is 2.
So, it is a quadratic polynomial.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
(iv) The degree of 1 + x is 1.
So, it is a linear polynomial.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
(v) The degree of 3t is 1.
So, it is a linear polynomial.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
(vi) The degree of r² is 2.
So, it is a quadratic polynomial.
▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬
(vii) The degree of 7x3 is 3.
So, it is a cubic polynomial.
