Question

What's the degree of x^2+9x-8

Answer 1

2

Explanation:

The degree of a function is the highest power any single term is raised to.

x^2 is the term that has the highest degree, so in this case, the degree is 2.

For example; in x^5-x^4-3x^3; the degree would be 5 because the highest power x is raised to is 5.
