Question

The degree of polynomial 4x ^2 y+x^ 2 -2y ^2 is

Answer 1

degree 3

Explanation:

The degree of a polynomial is determined by the largest exponent of the term within the polynomial.

4x²y = 4x²
`y^(1)` ← with exponent 2 + 1 = 3

x² ← exponent 2

- 2y² ← exponent 2

The term with the largest exponent is 4x²y with exponent 3

Then the polynomial is of degree 3
