Is the expression 5m2p3+6 a polynomial?
Answers
The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its monomials (individual terms) with non-zero coefficients. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it, and thus is a non-negative integer. The term order has been used as a synonym of degree but, nowadays, may refer to several other concepts (see order of a polynomial (disambiguation)). For example, the polynomial {\displaystyle 7x^{2}y^{3}+4x-9,} {\displaystyle 7x^{2}y^{3}+4x-9,} which can also be expressed as {\displaystyle 7x^{2}y^{3}+4x^{1}y^{0}-9x^{0}y^{0},} {\displaystyle 7x^{2}y^{3}+4x^{1}y^{0}-9x^{0}y^{0},} has three terms. The first term has a degree of 5 (the sum of the powers 2 and 3), the second term has a degree of 1, and the last term has a degree of 0. Therefore, the polynomial has a degree of 5, which is the highest degree of any term
A polynomial equation is an equation that has multiple terms made up of numbers and variables. Polynomials can have different exponents. The highest exponent is called the degree of the polynomial. ... The roots of the polynomial equation are the values of x where y = 0.
