Identify the degree of the following polynomial: 4b7 − 3b8

OpenStudy (diyadiya):

\[4b^7 - 3b^8 \] degree is the highest power of the polynomial what do you think is the highest power here?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Degree implies the highest power of a variable in any expression..

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

The degree of a polynomial is the largest exponent/power that any of its terms is raised. For eg, in \(3x^4 + 5x^2\), the greatest power of any term is '4', so the degree here is '4'. What do you think about your problem now?

OpenStudy (apoorvk):

**highest power 'of variables'

OpenStudy (diyadiya):
