Question

The degree of the polynomial p(y) =(y-4)^3-y^3 is

Plz urgent ​

Answer 1

The degree of polynomial is 2

Explanation:

Given

`p(y) = (y -4)^3 - y^3`

Required

The degree

When expanded,
`p(y) = (y -4)^3 - y^3` is:

`p(y) =y^3-12y^2+48y-64-y^3`

Collect like terms

`p(y) =-12y^2+48y-64-y^3+y^3`

`p(y) =-12y^2+48y-64`

The degree of freedom is 2
