Question

how do you find a Degree of a Polynomial

Answer 1

Degree is the highest power so look for the highest power of the variable..

Answer 2

if you have \[x^3 + x\] for example, the polynomial would be of degree 3 ... the highest power on the term x

Answer 3

For example:

In \(ax^4 + bx^2 + c = 0\)

Highest power of x is 4 so Degree = 4.

Answer 4

Some quick examples:

f(x) = 5x^7 - 17x^4-9
degree 7

g(x) = 2x^3 -8
degree 3

h(x) = x+18
degree 1

Answer 5

so what if it was 2x3y4 + 6xy2z5
