What is the degree of polynomial?
[tex]\large\boxed{\mathfrak{Answer}}[/tex]
The degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of the polynomial's monomials with non-zero coefficients.
Example:
[tex] {6x}^{4} + {2x}^{3} + 3[/tex]
4x The Degree is 1 (a variable without an
exponent actually has an exponent of 1)
More Examples:
4x^ − x + 3 The Degree is 3 (largest exponent of x)
x^2 + 2x^5 − x The Degree is 5 (largest exponent of x)
z^2 − z + 3 The Degree is 2 (largest exponent of z)
A constant polynomials (P(x) = c) has no variables. Since there is no exponent to a variable, therefore the degree is 0.
3 is a polynomial of degree 0.
Answer:
The degree of a monomial is the sum of the exponents of all its variables.
Example 1:
The degree of the monomial [tex]7y {}^{3} {z}^{2} [/tex] is 5(=3+2)5(=3+2) .
Example 2:
The degree of the monomial 7x is 11 (since the power of x is 11 ).
Example 3:
The degree of the monomial 66 is 0 (constants have degree 0 ).
The degree of a polynomial is the greatest of the degrees of its terms (after it has been simplified.)
