Question

What is the degree of the polynomial? a^3 - 2a^2 + 4^a + 5

What is the degree of the polynomial? 8x^2

What is the degree of the polynomial? 3a5 - 2a2b3c + 4ab2

Answer 1

a 3
b 2
3 5
because the highest power is considered to be the degree of polynomial

Answer 2

Actually the answer to the third question is 6 @suervivor786 because the sum of the degrees is 6.

Answer 3

Since the student is unwilling to learn it doesn't matter anyway :-)

Answer 4

you did not ask for sum
