D) None of these; 9

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This is a trinomial because it has three terms ($-17s^7$, $6s$, and $-5$). The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable, which in this case is 7 (from the term $-17s^7$).

Identify the Polynomial as a Monomial, Binomial, Trinomial, or None −17s7+6s−5-17 s^{7}+6 s-5−17s7+6s−5
