Question

How would you classify this? 4x^4 − 4x^3 + 10x^6.

Answer 1

You mean besides calling it a polynomial?

Answer 2

You can factor out 2x^3 btw ;-0

Answer 3

Yes, like its degree

Answer 4

6th degree, look at the highest exponent to know

Answer 5

It (thankfully) really is that simple

Answer 6

Is that the same in every problem, the biggest exponent is the degree?

Answer 7

Can you view this link? I'll give you a lot more detail I think:

Answer 8

In the example 7x^2+y^3 you add the x & y exponents

Answer 9

You'll always want to write these out in expanded (non-factored) form first and foremost

Answer 10

Then it's basically a counting game

Answer 11

Thank you soo much (:
