What is the degree of polynomial?
Answers
____________________________
★ Degree of a polynomial. From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
★ The degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees 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.

Answer:
The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial. For example,
2x^2 + 3x^5 + 10 - in this polynomial, 5 is the highest power of the variable 'x'. So it is the degree of the polynomial.
A polynomial with degree 1 is called linear polynomial
A polynomial with degree 2 is called quadratic polynomial
A polynomial with degree 3 is called cubic polynomial
A polynomial with degree 4 is called bi-quadratic polynomial
A polynomial with degree 5 is called quintic polynomial
