I.x + 2xyz
II.9x^3y^2
III.18x^2 + 5ab - 6y
IV.4x^4 + 3x^2 - x - 4


III, I, IV, II

Answer 2

what have you considered?

Answer 3

HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 4

if we weed thru the options, which has a lower degree, iii or iv

Answer 5

@amistre64 I have considered B

Answer 6

i dont like B ... but it may be simpler to run thru the options:

the options start with either a iii or iv, which is of lower degree and why do you think so?

you may want to provide me with what you think the degree is defined by

Answer 7

III has the lowest right

Answer 8

since they provide different variables in these; i would define a degree as the term with the most number of variables.

so xyz has 3 variables, so its a degree 3

x^2y^3 has: xxyyy 5 variables suited to it so that term is of degree 5

etc ...

Answer 9

lets check:

in iii; i see terms of xy, or ab so the most number of variables in a term is 2
in iv i see a term that has x^4, or xxxx in it so its a degree 4

iii is a lower degree so at best, the answer starts with iii

Answer 10

now, of the 2 options left, we need to compare i and ii to choose the correct one
