Question

What is a monomial and polynomial? What is degree of a polynomial?

Answer 1

The degree of the monomial is the sum of the exponents of all included variables. Constants have themonomial degree of 0. A polynomialas oppose to the monomial is a sum ofmonomials where each monomial is called a term. The degree of thepolynomial is the greatest degree of its terms.

Answer 2

Answer:

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in that polynomial, as long as there is only one variable.

If a polynomial has more than one variable, then the degree of that monomial is the sum of the exponents of those variables.
