Question

Identify the degree of each term of the polynomial and the degree of the polynomial.
-4x^3+4x^2+4x+8

The degree of the first term is.
The degree of the second term is.
The degree of the third term is.
The degree of the fourth term is.
The degree of the polynomial is.

Answer 1

THe degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of all the variable in the term.

The degree of the polynomial is the highest degree of all the terms.

What do you get for each part?

Answer 2

and since this polynomial has only one variable, there is nothing to add. just name the exponent of each term

Answer 3

Yeah the polynomial is of a single variable x so there will be need to add

Answer 4

But it's always good to know the rule so that when you encounter\[3x^{3}y^{2}z^{5}\] in a dark alley, you're prepared ;)

Answer 5

that is why i carry a piece
