state the degree -4a^3 b^2 c^5
whats the highest degree in this equation In other words whats the highest exponene
@HugoHuynh please you have to summ all of your exponents, so degree=3+2+5=10
I dont think so ...
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
@swissgirl sorry, you are wrong, by definition the overall degree of a monomial is the sum of single degrees of its letters
hmmm lemme google this
ummm take a look at this link http://www.mathwarehouse.com/algebra/polynomial/degree-of-polynomial.php
@swissgirl sorry, note that we have a monomial not a polynomial
ohhhhhhhh
K sorry for the confusion ... thanks :D
@swissgirl thanks!
@swissgirl you are welcome!:)
the degree is going to be 10?
Yup
@HugoHuynh yes!
For the polynomial f(x)=1-2x+5x^4
is it False
@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
the point (2,0) lies on the graph of p(x)=x^4-2x^3-x+2
I would think is true
