Question

What is the degree of the polynomial below?2x2 + 3x +1A. 1B. 3O C. OO D. 2

Answer 1

Let us define the term,

The degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of the polynomial's monomials (individual terms) with non-zero coefficients.

Let us write out the given expression,

`2x^2+3x+1`

From the given equation, the highest degree of the polynomial is 2.

Hence, option D is the correct answer.
