Answer 3

Look for the highest power.

Answer 4

What does that mean? o.O

Answer 5

I'll give examples...
like if you have x^2 + x + 1 then 2 is the degree of the polynomial

if you have x + x^3 + x^7 + x^2 +5 then it is a 7th degree polynomial
because the highest power is the x^7

Answer 6

Then here, the answer is C. 3 ?

Answer 7

.-. I'm not sure...
I think the highest number I see is a ^2 ?

Answer 8

Oooh, Oops, my mistake. If now I understand your example correctly, then ya, I guess it's 2 :P

Answer 9

How about this one?

How many terms does the polynomial have?

\[2p^2q-3pq\]

A. 1
B. 3
C. 2
D. 4

Answer 10

Would this also be ^2?

Answer 11

yes :) I think so :P

Answer 12

Ok :) thanks!

How about this one?

\[6x+x^2-x^4+3\]

Answer 13

A.–x^4 + x^2 + 6x + 3
B.x^4 + x^2 + 6x + 3
C.6x + x^2 + x^4 + 3
D.6x – x^2 – x^4 + 3

Answer 14

order it from greatest power to least

Answer 15

Umm... D?

Answer 16

Oh, wait. Hold on

Answer 17

Ya, D?

Answer 18

other way around

Answer 19

o.O

Answer 20

I don't get it >,<

Answer 21

like if it was x + x^3 + x^7
it should become x^7 + x^3 + x

Answer 22

So... B?

Answer 23

don't forget the negative :)

Answer 24

Why a negative? o.O
So it's A?

Answer 25

yeah :P and wasn't there a negative? http://prntscr.com/36zykm

Answer 26

I think that's subtraction? :P

Answer 27

subtraction is adding a negative number :P
like x - 1 can be x +(-1)

Answer 28

So then, it's A?
