Question
Classify the following as a constant, linear, quadratic and cubic polynomials:
t2
Solution
Constant polynomials: The polynomial of the degree zero.
Linear polynomials: The polynomial of degree one.
Quadratic polynomials: The polynomial of degree two.
Cubic polynomials: The polynomial of degree three.
Power of t = 2.
The highest power of the variable t in the given expression = 2
Hence, the degree of the polynomial = 2
Since it is a polynomial of degree 2, it is a quadratic polynomial.
