What is the degree of the polynomial? 8x2 A. 0 B. 1 C. 2 D. 8

OpenStudy (mertsj):

0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

C

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Do you know why?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

tell me

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it 8\[x ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (mertsj):

8x2 = 16. 16 is the same as 16x^0. So it has degree 0

OpenStudy (anonymous):

\[8x ^{2}\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so whos correct?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what's your expression?

OpenStudy (mertsj):

It depends on what the problem is. Is the problem eight times 2 or is it 8x squared?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i agree with mertsj

OpenStudy (anonymous):

its sqared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

then agree with me:)

OpenStudy (mertsj):

Well then, the degree is 2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i agree with ghass lol :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variabe,in your case the variable is x and its highest power is 2,so the degree is 2:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

why would the highest be two? is that a rule?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no but here it is 2 if your polynomial was :P(x)=x^3+x^2 then the degree would be 3

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oooo :) what about this one Write the polynomial in descending order. 10x3 + 9 - 5x4 A. -5x4 + 10x3 + 9 B. 10x3 + 9 - 5x4 C. 9 + 10x3- 5x4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

there sgared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sqared

OpenStudy (anonymous):

squared lol

OpenStudy (anonymous):

do you know what squared means?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes

OpenStudy (mertsj):

10x\[-5x ^{4}+10x ^{3}+9\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Write the polynomial in descending order. 10x^3 + 9 - 5x^4 A. -5x^4 + 10x^3 + 9 B. 10x^3 + 9 - 5x^4 C. 9 + 10x^3 - 5x^4

there happy?
