3. The degree of the zero polynomial is
a. O
b. 1
c. a real number
d. undef​

Answer 1

Answer:

Like any constant value, the value 0 can be considered as a (constant) polynomial, called the zero polynomial. It has no nonzero terms, and so, strictly speaking, it has no degree either. As such, its degree is usually undefined.

Answer 2

Answer:

a. 0

Like any constant value, the value 0 can be considered as a (constant) polynomial, called the zero polynomial. It has no nonzero terms, and so, strictly speaking, it has no degree either. As such, its degree is usually undefined.
