Q. Pick the expression that matches this description:A 3rd degree binomial with a constant term of 8Choose 1 answer:(A) 8x3+2x+3(B) 2x8+3(C) −5x3+8(D) x3−x2+8
Identify 3rd Degree Binomial: The question prompt is asking us to identify a 3rd degree binomial with a constant term of 8.
Definition of 3rd Degree Binomial: A 3rd degree binomial means that the highest power of the variable (usually x) in the expression should be 3, and there should be two terms in the expression.
Constant Term of 8: A constant term is a term that does not contain any variables, just a number. We are looking for a constant term of 8.
Evaluation of Options: Let's evaluate each option:(A) 8x3+2x+3 - This is not a binomial because it has three terms, not two.
Option (A):2x8+3 - This is not a 3rd degree expression because the highest power of x is 8, not 3. Also, it is not a binomial.
Option (B):(C)−5x3+8 - This is a binomial because it has two terms, and it is a 3rd degree expression because the highest power of x is 3. The constant term is 8.
Option (C):Dx3−x2+8 - This is not a binomial because it has three terms, not 2.
Option (D): The expression that matches the description of a 3rd degree binomial with a constant term of 8 is option (C) −5x3+8.
