hippoharry · Answer

is it true?

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

A constant term like $\Large 15$ is really the same as $\Large 15*1 = 15*x^0$

since $\Large x^0 = 1$ where x is any number but zero

jim_thompson5910 · Answer

the coefficient of $\Large 15x^0$ is 15

the degree of $\Large 15x^0$ is 0

so yes, it's true

So you're correct.

dopeness_ · Answer

"That's true. The degree of a polynomial is the highest power in the polynomial. For example, this polynomial is degree 3: x^3 + 2x^2 + x. Anything raised to the zero power is 1. If a polynomial has degree 0, that mean's that there are no x's in the polynomial, just a number or a constant. "
