Question

The degree of the term - 2x² is:

The degree of the term -3 is:
The degree of the term 4x6 is:
The degree of the term - 6x7 is:
The degree of the polynomial -2x - 3+4x6 - 6x7 is:

Answer 1

degree of -2x^4 is 4

degree of -3 is 0

degree of 4x^6 is 6

degree of -6x^7 is 7

degree of the polynomial 17

Explanation:

the degree of a term is the exponent of the variable. so for the terms, just write down the exponent of X. since -3 does not have a variable, it has a degree of 0. the degree of a polynomial is the sum of the exponents on all variables so 4+6+7=17.
