1. The problem asks to classify the polynomial expressions given. 2. For the first expression $x - 8$: - It has two terms: $x$ and $-8$. - Since it has two terms, it is a binomial. - The highest power of $x$ is 1, so it is a linear polynomial. 3. For the second expression $x^2 - 6x$: - It has two terms: $x^2$ and $-6x$. - Since it has two terms, it is a binomial. - The highest power of $x$ is 2, so it is a quadratic polynomial. 4. Summary: - $x - 8$ is a linear binomial. - $x^2 - 6x$ is a quadratic binomial.
