Question

Match the correct degree and type to each polynomial.

Answer 1

Explanation:

Property of the polynomial,

"Exponent of leading term of the polynomial decides the degree and the type of a polynomial"

f(x) = x - 6

Exponent of variable 'x' = 1

So its degree = 1

And it's a linear function.

f(x) = 8x⁴- 2x³- 4x + 1

Exponent of leading term = 4

So degree of the polynomial = 4

And its a quartic function.

f(x) = 2x²+ 3x - 4

Exponent of the leading term = 2

Degree of polynomial = 2

Its a quadratic function.

f(x) = x³ + 2x² + x + 7

Exponent of leading term = 3

Degree of polynomial = 3

Its a cubic function.
