## Text Solution

What is known?

Expression

What is unknown?

The degree of the expression.

Reasoning:

1. Expression that contains only one term is called a monomial.

2. Expression that contains two terms is called a binomial.

3. Expression containing three terms is a trinomial and so on.

4. An expression containing, one or more terms with non-zero coefficient (with variables having non-negative integers as exponents) is called a polynomial.

5. A polynomial may contain any number of terms, one or more than one.

Steps:

The given expressions are classified as

Monomials: $$1000,\; pqr$$

Binomials:

\begin{align} &x + y,\;2y - 3{y^2},\\ & 4z - 15{z^2},\\ & {p^2}q + p{q^2},\\ & 2p + 2q \end{align}

Trinomials:

\begin{align} &7 + y + 5x,\\ & 2y - 3{y^2} + 4{y^3},\\ & 5x - 4y + 3xy \end{align}

Polynomials that do not fit in any of these categories are

\begin{align} x + {x^2} + {x^3} + {x^4},\\ab + bc + cd + da \end{align}
