Question

Write the degree of each of the following polynomials:
(i) 5x3 + 4x2 + 7x (ii) 4 – y2 (iii) 5t – √7 (iv) 3

Answer 1

Answer:

1)5x^3+4x^2+7x+0=3

2)-y^2+0y+4=2

3)5t-root7=1

4)3=0

Answer 2

Answer:

(i) The power of term is 5x 3 and exponent is 3. So degree is 3.

(ii) The power of term is y 2 and exponent is 2. So degree is 2.

(iii) The power of term is 5t and exponent is 1. So degree is 1.

(iv) The only term here is 3 which can be written as 3x 0 and so exponent is 0 or degree is 0.
