Question

identify the degree of each term of the polynomial and the degree of the polynomial
2x^2-9x+9
i know the power of the first term is 2 whats the second term power

Answer 1

Hint look at the exponent

Answer 2

If no exponent is given, e. g., "x," you may assume that the power of that x is 1: x^1.

Answer 3

\[2x^2-9x^1+9=2x^2-9x+9\]

Answer 4

so the degree of th second term would be -9 something??

Answer 5

nope, not -9. read this statement carefully:

If no exponent is given, e. g., "x," you may assume that the power of that x is 1

Answer 6

oh ok

Answer 7

so the degree for the polynomial would be 9?

Answer 8

nope

Answer 9

read it again.

Answer 10

You may need to look up "degree." 9 does not represent "degree" here; rather, that 9 (or -9) is the COEFFICIENT of x in the 2nd term.

In a quadratic equation, the degrees of the three terms are 2, 1 and 0, in descending order, and the corresponding powers of x are x^2, x and 1.

Answer 11

Your quadratic is y=2x^2-9x+9. The three coefficients are 2, -9 and +9. These are the coefficients of the three powers of x in descending power order: x^2, x^1, x^0, which is the same thing as x^2, x, 1.

Answer 12

The degree of the poly. is the degree of the highest term.

Answer 13

that would be -9?

Answer 14

The degree of the poly. is the degree of the highest term.

No. I explained above that the -9 here is the coefficient of the x term; If any of the vocabulary words I'm using here are not clearly, please look up those words.

What is the first term of your polynomial? What is the degree of that term? Then, what is the degree of the entire polynomial?

Answer 15

Your quadratic is y=2x^2-9x+9. The three coefficients are 2, -9 and +9. These are the coefficients of the three powers of x in descending power order: x^2, x^1, x^0, which is the same thing as x^2, x, 1.

Answer 16

so the answers would be 2,1,0 and 9?

Answer 17

mathmale i gave u the wrong info
the 0 that u told me was for the third term degree

Answer 18

Please explain why you included "9" in that list.

Answer 19

Again, that 9 is a coefficient. It is the coefficient of the zero-th power of x: 9(x^0)=9(1).

The degree of the 3rd term is 0 (not 9).

Answer 20

so the overalll degree for the polynomial would be 1/

Answer 21

As mentioned before, "The degree of the poly. is the degree of the highest term."

What is the degree of the 1st term of your poly, the one that includes x^2?

Answer 22

degree of the first term is 2

Answer 23

Yes, and so the degree of the polynomial is also 2. "The degree of the poly. is the degree of the highest term."

Answer 24

ok

Answer 25

Good luck, best wishes.
