Check my answer Please (Algebra 1)
x2y − 7xy + xyz + x
That above is a 2nd degree polynomial am I correct???
Is that X squared?
"The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms when the polynomial is expressed in its canonical form consisting of a linear combination of monomials. The degree of a term is the \(sum\) of the exponents of the variables that appear in it" (wiki)
So it is a 2nd degree polynomial being 2 and yes its x^2
It's not. Please read the definition of the degree of a polynomial, \(and\) the degree of a \(term\).
It's not because if you look only at the degree of y, then the degree would be 1.
@mathmate so do i add all of the exponents together making it a 7th dgree polynomial?
I submittedt and got it wrongplease tell me what it is so i can better understand
"The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its \(terms\), ..." Can you tell me how many terms there are in the given expression?
4
So it would be a 3rd degree olynomial
Good. Can you tell me the degree of each term? Recall "...The degree of a \(term\) is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it"
Let me show you this one and ill tell you tedegrees of terms let me know f im right please
ok
Also remember \(xyz\equiv x^1y^1z^1\) to help you add up the exponents.
4x^2+3xy+12yz 1st term goes to the 2nd degree 2nd term goes to the 2nd degree and 3rd term goes to the second degree so that is a 2nd degree trinomial
Exactly! Perfect!
thank youireally do appreciate your hel
Help
Yes that is right
You're welcome!
have a gra day all 😍
You too! :)
Great* sorry typping on an ipad sucks
I know! :(
