Lemme explain.

rhr12 · Answer

You want to find the degree of this polynomial: 

7q – 4

Start by finding the degree of each term. 

The first term, 7q, can be written as 7q1. Since it has an exponent of 1, it has a degree of 1. 

The second term, 4, is a constant. Since there is no exponent, it has a degree of 0. 


Next find the highest degree. The highest degree is a degree of 1. 

So, the polynomial 7q – 4 has a degree of 1.
