Question

What is the degree of the following polynomial?

4y3 + 3y2 - y5
2
3
4
5

Answer 1

`\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{5}}}}}`

Explanation:

In the polynomial with one variable , highest power ( exponent ) is the degree of the polynomial.

In polynomial
`\sf{4 {y}^(3) + 3 {y}^(2) - {y}^(5) }`

The power of 4y in the first term = 3

The power of 3y in the second term = 2

The power of y in the third term = 5

Since, the highest power is 5 , the degree of the polynomial is 5 .

Hope I helped!

Best regards!!

Answer 2

5

Explanation:

The degree of a polynomial simply means what the highest power of an variable is. In this case we see that y⁵ < y³ < y², so 5 would be our highest exponent and answer.
