What is a degree of a polynomial?
Answers
The highest or greatest degree of a variable in a polynomial is called the degree of a polynomial.
Example for degree of a polynomial
2x2+2x-364=0 Degree is 2
11x7+2×3-34x- 86=0 Degree is 7
The polynomial with different degrees are assigned different names. For example:
Degree 0 is called Constant Polynomial
Degree 1 is called Linear Polynomial
Degree 2 is called Quadratic Polynomial
Degree 3 is called Cubic Polynomial
Degree 4 is called Quartic Polynomials
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. In mathematics, the degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of the polynomial's 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.
