The polynomial 16x + 2 is a?

Adding the term? Would make it a trinomial

What are the instructions? If it just says to classify it, there is no degree, so it would be a binomial.

Here is a chart;

1 term = monomial. Example; 6x

2 terms = binomial. Example; 6x + 5

3 terms = Trinomial. Example; 6x + 5 + 2y

4 terms = polynomial of 4 terms. Example; 6x + 5 + 2y + 2x^3
