Question

If p(x) and q(x) are two polynomials whose degrees are 12 and m respectively and the degree of polynomial p(x) *q(x) is 104 then the value of m is

Answer 1

Answer:

Degree of p(x)=8

⇒ Degree of q(x)=m

⇒ Degree of p(x)q(x)=104

Since degrees are nothing but highest exponents to the variables multiplying two variables with powers of 8 and m, we will get

⇒8+m=104

⇒m=96.

Hence, the answer is 96.
