Answer 1

The degree of the given polynomial
`a^3+3a^2-5a=0` is 3

Explanation:

Given polynomial
`a^3+3a^2-5a=0`

The above polynomial is trinomial which has power of 3.

To find the degree of the polynomial we have to check the powers of terms and analyse highest power

The degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of its monomials (individual terms) with non-zero coefficients. The degree of a term is the sum of the powers of the variables ,it is a non-negative integer.

The degree of the given polynomial
`a^3+3a^2-5a=0` is 3
