Question

How many degrees in polynomial:

1. 8a – 5
2. 6x^2
3. 18x^2 + 5ab – 6y

Answer 1

What you think for each one?

Answer 2

??

Answer 3

you were right on your other post @charlotte123 :]

Answer 4

really? :D @aripotta

Answer 5

yes :] it's 1, 2, 2

Answer 6

@jpsmarinho I was thinking for 8a – 5 it would be 1 degree, for 6x^2 it would be 2 and for the 18x^2 + 5ab – 6y it would be 2 :)

Answer 7

It`s right. For a polynomial with single variable, you have the degree equals to the term with higher exponent. Example:

xˆ2 + 3x +xˆ5
degree is 5 for the polynomial

but in the case of a multivariable polynomial ( the last you wrote) the degree is the higher sum of exponents in one term. Example:

abc + abˆ3cˆ2 + aˆ5bˆ2cˆ2

degree is 9!
