Question

identify the degree of each polynominal. -9x^3+2x^2+4x+8? 
the degree of first term is?
the degree of second term is?
the degree of third term? the degree of fourth term is? 
the degree of the polynominal is?

precal · Answer

cubic because of the power of 3
quadratic because of the power of 2
linear because of the power of 1
zero because of the power of 0
$$8=8x^{0}$$
degree of the polynomial is the highest power (3) therefore it is cubic
