Question

What is true about the polynomial -3xy + 5x^2y

Answer 1

Answer: The answer is a polynomial in two variables with degree 3.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given to write the properties of the polynomial

`p=-3xy+5x^2y.`

We can see that the polynomial 'p' contains two unknown variables 'x' and 'y'.

Also, the degree of the polynomial is the degree of the expression
`5x^2y.`

Therefore, the degree of the polynomial will be 2 + 1 = 3.

Thus,

(i) the polynomial has two unknown variables 'x' and 'y', and

(ii) Its degree is 3.
