help please willmedal and fan

\[f(x)=2x^5 y+3xy-x^7 y^2\]

OpenStudy (anonymous):

classify f(x) based on the number terms what is the degree of f(x)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

@amistre64 @iGreen

OpenStudy (amistre64):

what do we know about degrees?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that the degree is 9

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the degree is the largest exponent

OpenStudy (amistre64):

not the largest exponent perse, but the largest combined. if we change all variables to say u, and u^a + u^b = u^(a+b) then we have 9 as the largest u subed exponent

OpenStudy (amistre64):

how about the terms?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

u^a*u^b = u^(a+b)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh ok

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what do you mean by the term ??

OpenStudy (amistre64):

part of the question is: classify f(x) based on the number terms right? what is a term?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

7 terms

@amistre64

OpenStudy (amistre64):

lets box this thing up, each + or - has a line thru it, and there are lines in ffront and in back ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

In Algebra a term is either: * a single number, or * a variable, or * numbers and variables multiplied together.

OpenStudy (anonymous):
