## muscrat123 one year ago MEDAL AND FAN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! i need some help. i learned it in class and i vaguely remember, but i cant remember much. ill post question in comments below. the directions are "identify each expression as a monomial, binomial, trinomial, or polynomial. write the degree of each expression." i know how to do this stuff really well, just not the fraction

1. muscrat123

$9q+\frac{ 4q }{ 5p } - 3p ^{2}$

oh ok

8. Rizags

ok, how many different terms do you see?

9. Rizags

*let me rephrase that, How many different NONCOMBINABLE terms do you see?

10. muscrat123

i know it is a trinomial. and i know how to do the degree. i just dont know the fraction part

11. Rizags

what exactly do you want to do to the fraction?

12. Rizags

Its existence does not affect the answer

13. muscrat123

identify each expression as a monomial, binomial, trinomial, or polynomial. write the degree of each expression."

14. Rizags

you mean each individual part of the expression?

15. muscrat123

i think. hang on. let me post the other ones i did

16. muscrat123

2z^2 - 5z - 10 = 2nd degree trinomial 24x^2y = 3rd degree monomial $5a ^{2}b ^{3} - 4a ^{2}b ^{3}+2a ^{4}b ^{3}$ = 7th degree trinomial

I would say that the degree would be 2 for this trinomial. The first term has a degree of 1 given by q. The second term has degree 1/1, or still 1. The third term has a degree of 2. So the highest degree of the three terms is 2.

19. anonymous

The second term has a degree 0, actually. But that still does not affect our answer.

If you are still confused, I would suggest visiting this page https://www.mathsisfun.com/algebra/degree-expression.html It's pretty helpful in explaining this topic

k thanks
