Question

What is the degree of the following Monomial -2f^2g^3h^5

Answer 1

10

Explanation:

We have a monomial in 3 variables: f, g and h. Whenever a monomial has more than one variable, the degree is calculated as the sum of exponents of all the variables involved. The given monomial is:

`-2f^(2)g^(3)h^(5)`

The exponent of f is 2, exponent of g is 3 and exponent of h is 5.

The degree of this monomial would be the sum of all these three exponents.

So, the degree of given monomial is:

Degree = 2 + 3 + 5

Degree = 10
