Question

find the degree of each polynomial 9p-9q-9p3-9q2

Answer 1

The degree of a polynomial is equal to the highest value of a variable exponent. So look at the equation and look at the exponents, pick the highest one.

Answer 2

Would it also represent a multiplicity?

Answer 3

Umm, multiplicity should refer to how many times the given root is used. IE (x-2)(x-2)=0 has root 2 of multiplicity 2. But maybe there is a different meaning?

Answer 4

3

Answer 5

@Kyler1099 That is correct.

Answer 6

Ok

Answer 7

soo I come up with the answer as 7 am i correct?

Answer 8

No, how did you get 7?

Answer 9

I added all the degrees together

Answer 10

.... :| I don't think you can add teh degree of "q" and of "p together xD they're two separate variables

Answer 11

ohh

Answer 12

You don't add anything. You just look at what is the highest power once you have simplified.

Answer 13

ok I think I got it now thank you :)
