degree 0

campbell_st · Answer

quick question is f(x) 

1. $$f(x) = \frac{1}{3} - x$$

or 

2. $$f(x) = \frac{1}{3 - x}$$

oh good question

campbell_st · Answer

a zero degree polynomial is a constant

as in the example below

$$f(x) = 3x^0 = 3(1) = 3$$

campbell what program are you using/how do you write the formulas in chat?

campbell_st · Answer

I just use the equation option at the bottom, its a latex editor...

anonymous · Answer

f(x)=1/3-x

anonymous · Answer

oops made a typo here it is again fixed

x = degree 1
x^2 = degree 2
x^3 = degree 3

x^2-2x =degree 3
