Question

Organize the following polynomial expressions from least to greatest based on their degree:


I.x + 2xyz
II.9x3y2
III.18x2 + 5ab - 6y
IV.4x4 + 3x2 - x - 4

III, I, IV, II

IV, I, II, III

III, II, IV, I

IV, III, I, II

Answer 1

@marissalovescats what are degrees

Answer 2

the degree of an equation refers to it's highest exponent

Answer 3

for example, x^3 + 4y^2 - x
in that equation the highest exponent is 3, so it's in the 3rd degree

Answer 4

Oh ok IV has the highest degree?

Answer 5

yup

Answer 6

and II has the second highest?

Answer 7

i forgot, if a term has two exponents, you add them
x^2y^3 has a degree of 5 (2+3)

Answer 8

so its B?

Answer 9

yes

Answer 10

Thank You!
