Choose the correct classification of x^6 + 3x^3 by number of terms and by degree.

a. third degree polynomial
b. fourth degree trinomial
c. third degree binomial
d. sixth degree binomial

X^6 + 3x^6 is a sixth degree binomial because the highest power of x is 6.

Hi,
You can start by eliminating option A and B because a line is increasing if it goes up from left to right. So now the options are C and D. Then you look at the constant which is +1 or -1. This number is your y-intercept so if you look at the graph, you can see that the graph goes through the y axis at (0,-1). So the answer is D. y=3x-1.
