Question

can someone help me ? Identify the degree of the polynomial 6xy 2-xy+8+12y

Answer 1

Identify the degree of each term

Numbers don't matter

y - degree 1
x - degree 1
y^2 - degree 2
x^2 - degree 2
xy - degree 2
Other? You tell me.

Answer 2

are you sure xy is degree 2?

Answer 3

1 for the x and 1 for the y. That makes 2.

\(xy^{2}\;and\;x^{2}y\) are degree 3.

Answer 4

you are right. I had already checked though. A polynomial is a monomial. thanks

Answer 5

It is a little odd to call a monomial a polynomial, but it is not particularly offensive.

Answer 6
