What type of polynomial is 8x - 4?

  1. Linear

  2. Quadratic

  3. Monomial

  4. Radical

The correct answer is: Linear

A linear polynomial is a polynomial with degree 1, meaning the highest exponent is 1. In this case, 8x - 4 is a linear polynomial because the highest exponent is 1 (x has an implied exponent of 1). The other options are incorrect because a quadratic polynomial would have a degree of 2, a monomial can have any degree but is only a single term, and a radical polynomial would have a root (such as √x) which is not present in 8x - 4.
