Answer 3

oh... lol @TI-84 is correct

Answer 4

Lol thank you guys :) ^.^

Answer 5

Determine the degree of the polynomial Example: 3x2 + x + 33? Just use the 'formula' for finding the degree of a polynomial. ie--look for the value of the largest exponent the answer is 2 since the first term is squared . Remember coefficients have nothing at all do to with the degree ..... Site Used: http://www.mathwarehouse.com/algebra/polynomial/degree-of-polynomial.php

Answer 6

I hope I helped..

Answer 7

The degree of a polynomial can be found by adding the exponents of all of the terms. The term that has the biggest number (the number is the exponents in the term added together) is the degree.

Answer 8

^^ correct

Answer 9

Example: 17x^3*y^2+43x^2+10, the degree is 5 (3+2 in the first term).
