Wanna MEDAL!?! You gotta help me then! ----->
Given the expression −10p2q + 7p3q − 5q, do the following as instructed below: A: Write the polynomial in descending order. B: Classify the polynomial by the number of terms. C: State the degree of the polynomial.
when we have more than two variables we should add their exponents to get highest degree descending = start with highest degree to lowest `B` mono mial = single term ( mono means one term) binomial = bi means 2 term trinomial = tri means 3 terms polynomail = if there are more than 3 terms
lets take first term \[\huge\rm −10p^2q^1 \] q is same as q^1 so add the exponents of p and q 2+1 =2 degree of -10p^2q^1 is 3 now find degree of other terms
\[7p ^{2}q = 3\] Right?
it's p to the 3rd power
So, \[7p ^{3}q\]
\[\huge\rm −10p^2q + 7p^3q − 5q \] this is ur question
yes it's 7p^3q
K, next what do I do?
so what would be degree of 7p^3q
Hmmm.... I'm not sure
just add the exponent of both variable .. just like i did for first one
remember q is same as q^1 \[\huge\rm 7p^3q^1\]
Ya, I know ^. -12p^5q^3 right?
hmm how did you get -12 ??
\(\color{blue}{\text{Originally Posted by}}\) @Nnesha lets take first term \[\huge\rm −10p^2q^1 \] q is same as q^1 so add the exponents of p and q 2+1 =2 degree of -10p^2q^1 is 3 now find degree of other terms \(\color{blue}{\text{End of Quote}}\) look at this i just added exponent of p and q which is 2 and 1 2+1 = 3 so degree of -10p^2q is 3
k
so what's the degree of 7p^3q term ?
4
right so degree of -10p^2q is 3 degree of 7p^3q is and the degree of -5q is just one how would you write it in descending order ?
-10p*p=p^2q
\[\huge\rm −10p^2q + 7p^3q − 5q \] this is ur question for part A how would you rewrite the equation in descending order descending means start with the highest degree to lowest x^3,x^2,x is in descending order
K, Thx 4 the help! :)
hmm got it ?
ya
right so degree of -10p^2q is 3 degree of 7p^3q is and the degree of -5q is just one 7p^3q is with the highest degree so it comes first when u write it in descending order
thx
alright then..
