Question

Why a linear polynomial cannot have more than two terms

Answer 1

a linear polynomial cannot have more than two terms because

a linear polynomial is a polynomial with degree one so only x is possible

and other constant

so totally 2 terms the x term and the constant term hence it cannot have more than 2 terms

plz mark as brainliest

Answer 2

A polynomial is said to be a linear polynomial when the maximum degree of its variable is equal to 1.
When we say that polynomial has maximum degree equal to 1 it means that it can have only one variable with degree equals to 1.
So, the first term of the polynomial is formed by the variable.
And the other term which this polynomial can have will be a constant.
So, in total there are only two terms the variable term with degree 1 and the constant term.
A linear polynomial can be represented as follows:
x + C = 0
where, x is the variable with degree = 1
and C is the constant in the polynomial.
