Question

Classify each polynomial by degree and number of terms.
1.)6.3x + y + z
2.)3.8a – 5
3.)5.x + 2xyz
None of them are exponents.

Answer 1

I need help please...!

Answer 2

ok :)

Answer 3

lol thank you

Answer 4

The degree of a polynomial is the exponent of the term with the variable that has the highest power. Different terms in an expression are separated by addition and subtraction signs. Hope that helps!

Answer 5

I meant like trinomials..binomials and 2nd and 3rd degrees O_o

Answer 6

The first expression is a 1st degree polynomial because each term has only 1 variable, each to the power of one. (If it had a term with x^2, or xy, or yz, etc., it would be a second-degree polynomial.)

The second expression is a first degree polynomial; the only variable is to the first power.

The third expression is a third degree polynomial (trinomial) because if you add the exponents of each variable in the second term, you get 3. In the first term, the power is only 1, but the degree of the polynomial is the highest one you can find in the expression.
