Question

The polynomial 15xy+3x^3y^4 is what degree?

Answer 1

15xy is the same as 15x^1y^1

what are the exponents for 15x^1y^1

Answer 2

7=d

Answer 3

you mean you got the degree to be 7 ?

Answer 4

im just asking for the degree?
like i know how to do it i just always mess up on the degree

Answer 5

to find the degree, you add up the exponents for each monomial

so for instance 2x^2y^3, the exponents are 2 and 3....add them to get 5

for 7x^3y^8, the exponents are 3 and 8....add them to get 11

------------------------------

So if your expression was

2x^2y^3 + 7x^3y^8

then the degree would be 11 since that is the largest sum

Answer 6

that is not an option so its wrong im sorry well im gonna keep trying thank for ur help :)

Answer 7

no that was just an example, i didn't mean it to be the answer

I was trying to show you how to do it (without giving away the answer)

Answer 8

use the ideas shown above to find the answer and tell me what you get

Answer 9

oh ok :/ i was confused but i got it i got 7=d that what i got

Answer 10

yes the degree is 7 because 3+4 = 7 and this is the largest sum

Answer 11

ok :)) thank you

Answer 12

you're welcome
