Question

Find the degree of the monomial.

4x7y3

Answer 1

Why so?

Answer 2

Degree is the greatest power in simple terms

Answer 3

Is that the same as finding the defree of homogenous?

Answer 4

Okay so would it be there because y3 is a monomial and 4x7 is not?

Answer 5

3 in incorrect.

Answer 6

Is it 4 times y^3 or 4XY^3

Answer 7

If I'm not mistaken.

Degree of polynomial=greatest exponent
degree of monomial=sum of all exponents

Answer 8

Its 2

Answer 9

Degree of monomial is indeed sum of all exponents

Answer 10

Yup, @Directrix is right, I misread the question

Answer 11

@dtan5457 You are correct.

Answer 12

See @dtan5457 my guess was ten but I wasn't sure.

Answer 13

Is this is 4x^7y^3

the degree would be 10, 7+3.

Answer 14

Exponents are the powers of the variables

Answer 15

The degree of the monomial is the sum of the exponents of all included variables. Constants have the monomial degree of 0.
