Question

The degree of the expression is 10. What is the value of m? 2 4 5 10

Answer 1

If degree of the expression
`4x^5y^mz` is 10 the value of m is 4

What is expression?

An expression or algebraic expression is any mathematical statement which consists of numbers, variables and an arithmetic operation between them. For example, 4m + 5 is an expression where 4m and 5 are the terms and m is the variable of the given expression separated by the arithmetic sign +.

Given that

`4x^5y^mz`

Then we need to add the degree up and equate to 10 as

degree of x + degree of y + degree of z= 10

5 + m + 1 = 10

m + 6 = 10

m = 10 - 6

m = 4
