Worked practice questions

A polynomial of degree 1 in one variable is called a:

  1. Constant polynomial
  2. Linear polynomial
  3. Quadratic polynomial
  4. Cubic polynomial
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Linear polynomial

By definition, a polynomial of degree 1 (highest power of the variable = 1) is a linear polynomial. **Examples:** 4x, 2x + 3, −5x + 7. Linear polynomials produce straight-line graphs.

What is the degree of the polynomial 5y³ + y² + 2y − 1?

  1. 1
  2. 2
  3. 3
  4. 4
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: C. 3

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of its variable. Here the highest power is y³, so the degree is 3 (this is a cubic polynomial).

The coefficient of z in the polynomial 4z³ + 5z² − 11 is:

  1. 0
  2. −11
  3. 4
  4. 5
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. 0

The terms are 4z³ (coefficient of z³ = 4), 5z² (coefficient of z² = 5), and −11 (the constant term). There is no z¹ term in the expression — so the coefficient of z is 0.
