Find the degree of the polynomial. 2p^2q – 3pq + q^2 A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ok

OpenStudy (aravindg):

Better said : The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it. The highest degree of terms in a polynomial will be the degree of the polynomial

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so is it 2?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are you sure it is 2, no??

OpenStudy (anonymous):

idkk

OpenStudy (anonymous):

See: In case of multiplication of variables, the degree or the highest power is the sum of the powers of the variables.. For example: \[x^2y^2 + x^2 + 2xy + 2\] Here the highest power or Degree will be because of \(x^2y^2\) i.e \[2 + 2 = 4\] because x has 2 and y has also 2 as their powers..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okayy

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So here what will be the degree in your question?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

3?

You got it..
