A polynomial consists of two or more terms. For example, x + y, y2 x2, and x2 + 3 x + A binomial is a polynomial that consists of exactly two terms. For example, x + y is a binomial. A trinomial is a polynomial that consists of exactly three terms. For example, y2 + 9 y + 8 is a trinomial. Polynomials usually are arranged in one of two ways. Ascending order is basically when the power of a term increases for each succeeding term. For example, x + x2 + x3 or 5 x + 2 x2 3 x3 + x5 are arranged in ascending order. Descending order is basically when the power of a term decreases for each succeeding term. For example, x3 + x2 + x or 2 x4 + 3 x2 + 7 x are arranged in descending order.
