Question

Find the degree of this polynomial.
-7d

Answer 1

Hey there!

The degree is the exponent.

Let me explain with examples.

Suppose we have a polynomial 4d.

Its degree is 1 (it's a first degree polynomial)

What is the degree of the polynomial 4d²?

That's right, this is a second-degree polynomial.

And so on...

Let's look at our polynomial.

We have

-7d.

What is the degree of the polynomial?

That's right, 1.

Hence, -7d is a

`\boxed{\boxed{\bold{first-degree~polynomial}}}`

Hope everything is clear.

Let me know if you have any questions!
