Answer 1

Answer:

linear polynomial is the answer of this question

Answer 2

$\sf\huge\bold{Answer:}$

What is a polynomial ?

An expression of more than two algebraic terms, especially the sum of several terms that contain different powers of the same variable(s).

Types of polynomials :

⟶Based on the number of terms in a polynomial, there are 3 types of polynomials. They are

•  monomial ( 1 term )
• binomial ( 2 terms )
• trinomial. ( 3 terms )

⟶Based on the degree of a polynomial, they can be categorized as

• zero or constant polynomials ( highest degree = 0 )
• linear polynomials ( highest degree = 1 )
• quadratic polynomials ( highest degree = 2 )
• cubic polynomials ( highest degree = 3 )

Solution :

x²- 2x + 1 is a quadratic polynomial.

This is because it has degree = 2
