Which is true about the polynomial y2 - 3y + 12?

It is a binomial with a degree of 2.

It is a binomial with a degree of 3.

It is a trinomial with a degree of 2.

It is a trinomial with a degree of 3.

If the 2 next to the y is an exponent then the answer is number 3. its a trinomial with a degree of 2

Y^2 - 3y + 12

It has 3 terms (y^2) and (-3y) and (12) ... therefore, it is a trinomial.

The degree of a polynomial with 1 variable is the highest exponent ... so it has a degree of 2. But if it had more then 1 variable, it would be different.

answer is : trinomial with a degree of 2
