will medal
OpenStudy (welshfella):
a trinomial has 3 terms
the degree of the expression is the highest degree present #like 3xy^2 + 3y would be degree 3 because of the xy^2 ( 3 exponents present)
OpenStudy (tomy12345):
would it be a 6th degree trinomial? thann???
OpenStudy (tomy12345):
@welshfella
OpenStudy (welshfella):
it is a trinomial because it has 3 terms
But the degree is wrong The value of the degree is the total exponent of just ONE term - the one with the highest value, Or if they are all the same - the value of just one.

what is the degree of 12yz?
OpenStudy (welshfella):
- the degree of y is 1 and degree of z is 1.
OpenStudy (tomy12345):
oh, it will be it be a 2nd degree trinomial
OpenStudy (welshfella):
right
OpenStudy (tomy12345):
