This is actually a good question :)
A binomial and a trinomial are two different types of polynomials but they are both polynomials. Confusing, right? Well, a binomial is a polynomial that consists of two terms (bi means two). Ex: 3x+2.
And a trinomial is a polynomial that consists of three terms (tri means three). Ex: 3x^2+2x+1 (The ^ means to the power of)
Hope this helps :)

Polynomial: more than one
bi: 2
tri:3
all polynomials have a coeffienct, base, and exponent

The other two are special types of polynomial, with a specific number of terms each.
"bi" of course indicates 2, and "tri" indicates 3.

it has to do with how many terms in an equation
bi=2, tri=3, poly=many
monomial=1

1. They're spelled differently
2. Go find out yourself.
bi- = 2
poly- = many
tri- = 3

poly = more than 1 variable (in your equation)
bi = 2 variables " "
tri = 3 variables " "

"Poly-" means more than one
"Bi-" means two
"Tri-" means three.
