Question

What is the degree of the polynomial below?
2 + x2 + 3x - 5x4 + x3

Answer 1

the highest exponent (power) in the plynomial is the degree

Answer 2

The degree is the sum of the exponents of each variable in the expression. In this case, the degree of −5x^4 is 4.
4

Answer 3

actually, the degree is the sum of all of the exponents in a term, if there are multiple variables present. Don't forget that if there is no exponent, it is assumed to be 1.

Answer 4

The degree is the sum of the exponents of each variable in the expression. In this case, the degree of x^3 is 3.

Answer 5

degree of \(x^2y\) is 2+1 = 3, for example

Answer 6

thank you

Answer 7

The degree of −5x^4+x^3+x^2+3x+2 is the largest degree of its terms.

It's 4.
