Question

The degree of the expression 4x^5y^mz is 10. What is the value of m?

Answer 1

The correct answer is 4 :-)

Answer 2

m = 4 is the answer.

Explanation:

The degree of any expression is the sum of degree of all the terms.

Using this rule we have to find the value of m if the degree of the given expression
`4x^(2)5y^(m)z` is 10.

Therefore (degree of x + degree of y + degree of z) = 10

5 + m + 1 = 10

m + 6 = 10

m = 10 - 6

m = 4

Value of m = 4.
