Question

The degree of 5x4y2z3 is 9.
O True
O False

Answer 1

The answer to this question is true.

Answer 2

true

Explanation:

because the expression shown is a monomial we simply add the degrees of each term

4 + 2 + 3 = 9

5x4y2z3 indeed has a degree of 9

Note: if the terms were being added we take the highest degree and that is the degree of the expression.

ex. 5x^4 + y^2 + z^3 would have a degree of 4
