Question

Identify the degree of each term;
-8x^3+5x^2+3x+5

Answer 1

3,2,1 and 0

Answer 2

degree of second term
degree of third term
degree of fourth term
degree of polynomial

Answer 3

from left side the degree of first term is (3 )2nd term is (2) 3rd term is (1) and last one is (0)

Answer 4

take the exponent of each term while they asked u the degree okay?

Answer 5

Oh ok

Answer 6

so the degree of the polynomial is the zero?

Answer 7

Degree of each term = value of exponent. So for example, the degree of the second term, which is 5x^2 is 2 because the exponent is 2. The degree of the polynomial is equal to the largest exponent.

Answer 8

Ok so the largest exponent is 3

Answer 9

For single variable polynomials.

Answer 10

yep, the largest exponent is 3, so the degree of the polynomial is 3.

Answer 11

Ok great, I am horrible at this stuff

Answer 12

If there is more than one variable in a term you add the exponents to get the degree.

Answer 13

for the whole polynimal we will take the biggest /greatest exponent

Answer 14

estudier; my question just asks to identify the degree of each term in the problem
degree of first, second, third, fourth, and the polynomial

Answer 15

So x^3y^2 as a term would have degree 5 (but don't worry I have never needed this information for any purpose).

Answer 16

So I do not have to add the exponents to get the polynomial degree?!

Answer 17

Not if it's single variable (I have never needed this information either).

Answer 18

I am in college for my degree in Psychology this is just on of the requirements I have, I doubt I will ever need this stuff.

Answer 19

Ok great thank you all for the help, I really appreciate it.

Answer 20

After your test, just free up the memory space for something useful...

Answer 21

lol, thanks :)
