C
OpenStudy (mertsj):
Do you know why?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
tell me
OpenStudy (anonymous):
is it 8\[x ^{2}\]

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?

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 :)

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

sqared
OpenStudy (anonymous):
squared lol
OpenStudy (anonymous):
do you know what squared means?
OpenStudy (anonymous):
yes
OpenStudy (mertsj):
10x\[-5x ^{4}+10x ^{3}+9\]
