Question

Which of the following is a binomial? c2 + c + 6 c2 − 16 −8c c3 + 4c2 − 12c + 7

Answer 1

c3+4c2-12c ,c2 +c ,c2-2^4

Answer 2

Answer:  The answer is (b) c²-16.

Step-by-step explanation: Depending on the number of terms in a polynomial, we have the following definitions -

(i) Monomial - A polynomial which contains only one term. For example, option (c) -8c.

(ii) Binomial - A polynomial which contains two terms. For example, option (b) c²-16.

(iii) Trinomial - A polynomial which contains three terms. For example, options (a) c²+c+6.

And so on. Option (d) c³+4c²-12c+7 has four terms, so it is not a binomial.

Thus, the correct option is (b) c²-16.
