Question

write the degree of the following polynomial 3/5y +y^4 + 5y^2​

Answer 1

According to the question,

It is given that

$\frac{3}{5} y +y^4 + 5y^2$

As we have to find the degree of a given polynomial,

The degree of a polynomial is the maximum power of the variable that occurs in the polynomial.

The term with the highest power is known as the leading term, and its coefficient is known as the leading coefficient.

Here, in the given polynomial

$=>\frac{3}{5} y +y^4 + 5y^2$

The highest power of the variable y is 4,

Therefore, the degree of the polynomial is 4.

Answer 2

From the given question the correct answer is:

the degree of the polynomial is 4.

Given :

$\frac{3}{5}y+y^{2}+5y^2$

To find:

the degree of a given polynomial,

Solution:

 we have to find the degree of a given polynomial,

we know that,

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable.

so, in the given polynomial

the degree of the variable 3/5y is 1

the degree of the variable  $y^4$  is 4

the degree of the variable  $5y^2$ is  2.

so,

The highest power of the variable y is 4,

Hence, the degree of the polynomial is 4.
