@iGreen

igreen · Answer

The degree of a polynomial is its highest exponent.

So do you know what the degree is? @prowrestler

igreen · Answer

Do you know what an exponent is? @prowrestler

anonymous · Answer

no I don't what is it

igreen · Answer

$\Huge x^2$

x is called the Base of an exponent.

The small number on top of x is called the exponent.

igreen · Answer

Since the degree of a polynomial is its highest exponent, what number would that exponent be?

anonymous · Answer

3x4 is the highest exponent

igreen · Answer

Not quite. Look again.

$3x^4$ has an exponent of 4. Are there any higher ones?

igreen · Answer

$x^5 + 3x^4 + 3x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x + 2$


See the small numbers on top? Which is the biggest?

igreen · Answer

$\Huge x^5 + 3x^4 + 3x^3 + 3x^2 + 3x + 2$

igreen · Answer

It's 5, right?

igreen · Answer

So the degree of your polynomial is 5.

anonymous · Answer

yes its 5

anonymous · Answer

the degree of polynomial depends on the highest degrr...which is 5 here so therfore the degress is 5

igreen · Answer

You can't use the word your defining in your definition. @Adjax

igreen · Answer

The degree of the polynomial depends on the highest degree.

anonymous · Answer

lol

igreen · Answer

Yup, that's it. @prowrestler

anonymous · Answer

so its D

igreen · Answer

Yes.

anonymous · Answer

degree of the polynomial is its highest degree..
