State whether the following statement is true or false:
$x^{2}-5x+4$ is a linear polynomial.
$x^{2}-5x+4$ is a linear polynomial.
(B) The given polynomial is $p(x) = x^{2}-5x+4$.
$A$ polynomial is called a linear polynomial if its degree (the highest power of the variable) is $1$.
In the given expression $x^{2}-5x+4$,the highest power of the variable $x$ is $2$.
Since the degree of the polynomial is $2$,it is a quadratic polynomial,not a linear polynomial.
Therefore,the statement is False.
