Question

10. Write down the degrees of the following polynomials ? (a) 4x2 – x4 (b) 4p2 + 6p3 + 8p8 (c) m2n3 + mn2 + 4 (d) p2q4 + pq2

Answer 1

Degree of a polynomial :

The highest power of monomials in a polynomial is known as degree of a polynomial.

• 4x² - x⁴ $\implies$ degree = 4
• 4p² + 6p³ + 8p$^8 \implies$ degree = 8
• m²n³ + mn² + 4 $\implies$degree = 5
• p²q² + pq² $\implies$ degree = 4

Answer 2

Answer:

a- 4 is the degree of the polynomial because it is the highest power of variable.

b- 8 is the degree of the polynomial

c- 3 is the degree of the polynomial

d- 4 is the degree of the polynomial
