enter the degree of the polynomial 10x4+4x5+7x2+6x7-8x6

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the degree us the highest value of x right ?

OpenStudy (austinl):

\[10x^4+4x^5+7x^2+6x^7-8x^6\] What is the largest exponent?

OpenStudy (mathstudent55):

The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of all the variables of that term. The degree of a polynomial is the same as the degree of the term with the highest degree.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

highest power ., of x ,. so when you add up all the similar terms you can jus look at the highest exponent of x

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so the degree of the polynomial is the high exponent number?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yea,. like ., if you had x^2 + x + 1 ., the degree would be 2
