\\6 + 2x^5\\

step 1 of 2: the given expression is a polynomial. determine if the polynomial is a monomial, binomial, or trinomial.

Explanation:

Identify the terms of the expression

Using the Polynomial Classification knowledge point

$$ \text{Given expression: } 6 + 2x^5 $$

The terms are \(6\) and \(2x^5\).

Count the number of terms

Using the Polynomial Classification knowledge point

$$ \text{Number of terms} = 2 $$

Classify the polynomial

Using the Polynomial Classification knowledge point

$$ \text{A polynomial with exactly two terms is a binomial.} $$

Answer:

• Monomial
• Binomial (Correct answer)
• Trinomial
