Question

How do you find the degree of a polynomial ?

Answer 1

with a thermometer :)

Answer 2

hahaha thats funny lol

Answer 3

you take the set of variables in a term and add up their exponents, the one withthe highest value is the degree of the poly

Answer 4

for example; spose a term is: \[2xy^3z^4\]
the degree of this term is 1+3+4 = 8

do that to each term, and the one with the highest score wins

Answer 5

the number with the highest value ?

Answer 6

right
whats the degree of

x^3 - 2x^2 + 7x - 2 ?

Answer 7

3 ?

Answer 8

right?

Answer 9

example: x2 + x + 3?
Just use the 'formula' for finding the degree of a polynomial. ie--look for the value of the largest exponent


the answer is 2 since the first term is squared

Answer 10

oh okay, thank you so much!

Answer 11

3 was right

Answer 12

your welcome (:
