See explanation.
Explanation:
To write a poolynomial in standard form you have to order its terms by decreasing powers of the variable, so here it will be:
#9x^2-11x+1#
Now when the polynomial is in the standard form we can say that it is:
-
a trinomial - because it has 3 terms
-
a polynomial of the second degree - because the highest exponent of
#x# is#2# .
