anonymous · Answer

okay can you label each parts please

anonymous · Answer

You asked the same question again http://openstudy.com/study#/updates/5443fc42e4b088f403901b5e

anonymous · Answer

yeah but i only have 30 min before i have to go to do the same question and i dont know what your talking about asking all thses questions

anonymous · Answer

The degree is the value of the greatest exponent of any expression (except the constant ) in the polynomial. To find the degree all that you have to do is find the largest exponent in the polynomial. Note: Ignore coefficients -- coefficients have nothing to do with the degree of a polynomial.

anonymous · Answer

still mojo your no help

anonymous · Answer

The degree is what names the polynomial.

campbell_st · Answer

$$5x^3$$

is the leading term 

-4 is the constant

the polynominal is non monic since to coefficient of the leading term is 5. 
(monic, coefficient is 1)

hope that's enough

anonymous · Answer

for example a quadratic has a degree of 2, and cubic has a degree of 3, a quartic has a degree of 4...and so on

anonymous · Answer

what is three ? campbell

anonymous · Answer

@M0j0jojo what is 6x^2 im confused??

anonymous · Answer

quadratic since it has a exponent of 2

campbell_st · Answer

the 3 is the degree of the leading term

anonymous · Answer

5x=
3=
+6x^2=
-4=

do it that way

anonymous · Answer

@campbell_st if you dont mind can you put it the way i did it

anonymous · Answer

slow learner

campbell_st · Answer

5x^3 is the leading term 

3 is the degree 

4x^2 = 

-4 is the constant

anonymous · Answer

+6x^2 is which one?

anonymous · Answer

and what is the polynomial called ?
