state the degree -4a^3 b^2 c^5

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

whats the highest degree in this equation In other words whats the highest exponene

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@HugoHuynh please you have to summ all of your exponents, so degree=3+2+5=10

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

I dont think so ...

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

I always thought that you just had to combine like terms then you find the highest power and that is the degree of the polynomial

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@swissgirl sorry, you are wrong, by definition the overall degree of a monomial is the sum of single degrees of its letters

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

hmmm lemme google this

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

ummm take a look at this link http://www.mathwarehouse.com/algebra/polynomial/degree-of-polynomial.php

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@swissgirl sorry, note that we have a monomial not a polynomial

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

ohhhhhhhh

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

K sorry for the confusion ... thanks :D

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@swissgirl thanks!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@swissgirl you are welcome!:)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the degree is going to be 10?

OpenStudy (swissgirl):

Yup

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@HugoHuynh yes!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

For the polynomial f(x)=1-2x+5x^4

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

is it False

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

@HugoHuynh you are right, if you write your function as below: \[x ^{4}(5-\frac{ 2 }{ x ^{3} }+\frac{ 1 }{ x ^{4} })\] you can verify that for x-->+/- infinity, your function --->+infinity

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the point (2,0) lies on the graph of p(x)=x^4-2x^3-x+2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I would think is true
