Answer:
A. The polynomial cannot be simplified. The polynomial written in descending powers is;
[tex]3m^9+4m^8-6m^7-9m^6[/tex]
*The degree of the polynomial is 9.
*None of these
Explanation:
Given the below polynomial;
[tex]4m^8-9m^6+3m^9-6m^7[/tex]
Looking at the above polynomial, we can see that it cannot be simplified further than it is.
So let's go ahead and write it with descending powers as required;
[tex]3m^9+4m^8-6m^7-9m^6[/tex]
The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent of a variable in the polynomial.
Looking at the given polynomial, we can see that the highest exponent is 9, therefore the degree of the polynomial is 9.
A monomial is a polynomial with only one term.
A binomial is a polynomial with two terms.
A trinomial is a polynomial with three terms.
The given polynomial has 4 terms, so it is neither of the above-listed types of a polynomial.
