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
