Question

5. Write the degree of each of the following polynomials :
(i) 3y3 – xy2 + 4x (ii) p32 - 6p206 + PACA
(iv) 7 - 3x2y + y2
(v) 3x - 15
(iii) - 8mn6 + 5mn
(vi) 2yz + 9yz​

Answer 1

Answer:

The degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of its monomials with non-zero coefficients.

Degree of

first term =x

5

y

6

=5+6=11

Second term =−7x

3

y

10

=3+10=13

Third term =20x

5

y

6

z

5

=5+6+5=16

∴ the highest power is 16

∴ Degree of the polynomial=16
