Question

Determine the degree of the product.

Answer 1

Answer: The product is a polynomial of degree 2.

Explanation:

1. To solve the problem shown in the image attached and find the product of the expression, you must apply a property called Distributive property of multiplication. This means that you must multiply each term inside the parentheses by
`3x`.

2. Therefore, you have the following result:

`3x(x+2)=3x^(2)+6x`

3. The term that has the largest exponent is:
`3x^(2)`. This exponent is 2, therefore, the it is a polynomial of degree 2.
