Question

Identify the degree of the polynomial

Answer 1

The highest power. 'Nuff said.

Answer 2

\[6xy ^{2} – xy + 8 + 12y. \] Here's the equation

Answer 3

What's the highest power that you see here? Do you know what exponents are?

Answer 4

Yes and the highest exponent I see is 2 .

Answer 5

That is it :)

Answer 6

great you r right

Answer 7

But my answer choices are 3 , 4 , 5 , and 6

Answer 8

none of these --> is this the option

Answer 9

Well, add the powers of each term.

Answer 10

I see how I did a mistake.

Answer 11

@ParthKohli why to add the powers ? ? degree here is 2

Answer 12

Degree of \(x^2 y = 2 + 1 = 3\)

Answer 13

Ok so adding them the answer will be 3 , right ?

Answer 14

oh yes it had not asked for a specific variable right 3

Answer 15

Correct :)

Answer 16

We add the powers in case of multiplication of variables..

Answer 17

To get the degree of a term, then you add the degree of each factor.

Answer 18

Remember that the degree of a constant is \(0\).

Answer 19

Degree of \(6x^2\), for example, is \(0 + 2 = 0\)

Answer 20

Degree of \(6x^2 + y\) can be calculated by getting the degree of each term and then seeing the greatest.
