Multinomial

/ˌmʌl.tɪˈnoʊ.mi.əl/
noun

A multinomial is a type of polynomial that contains two or more terms. It is expressed as the sum of several terms, where each term consists of a coefficient and a variable raised to a power.

The equation x^2 + 3x + 2 is a multinomial because it has three terms.
