what is the correct classification of the polynomial 5x^3y^3+2x^2y^3+x^2y^2+3xy^2

Question

kc_kennylau · Answer

Order 6, if you're asking about order :) (just guessing)

anonymous · Answer

$$5x ^{3}y ^{3}+2x ^{2}y ^{3}+x ^{2}y ^{2}+3xy ^{2}$$

anonymous · Answer

okay how do u get the order?

kc_kennylau · Answer

Degree of first term: $3+3=6$
Degree of second term: $2+3=5$
Degree of third term: $2+2=4$
Degree of last term: $1+2=3$
Highest degree: 6
$\therefore$ order=6

(To get the degree of a term, add the indices together :p)

anonymous · Answer

the options given are
a. A 4-term polynomial in x and y of degree 3
b. A 4-term polynomial in x and y of degree 6
c. A 4-term polynomial in x and y of degree 5
d. A 4-term polynomial in x and y of degree 2

anonymous · Answer

okay so the answer is b right? :D

kc_kennylau · Answer

yes :)

kc_kennylau · Answer

If you wanna practice, find out the degree of $xyz+3x^2y$ :)

anonymous · Answer

the degree is 4, right? if z is also included

anonymous · Answer

sorry i mean 3 not 4

kc_kennylau · Answer

yes :D

anonymous · Answer

alright thank you so much :)
