How do you find the degree of an expression?

1 answer:

The degree of an expression in more than one variable is the highest sum of the powers of the variables in the terms.

Expression:

An algebraic expression is a combination of constant and variables connected by the signs of fundamental operations.

ex: 2x+5

Degree of an expression:

The degree of an expression in one variable is the highest exponent of the variable in that expression.

Ex:

2x^6 + x^4 + 5

Highest exponent = 6

so degree = 6

The degree of an expression in more than one variable is the highest sum of the powers of the variables.

Ex:

3x^1y^2 + 5x^3y^2 + 5

Sum of powers of variables = 3+2 = 5

Degree = 5.

It looks equivalent.

Do the Pythagorean theorem on the triangle shown.
2.1^2-1.4^2

4.2-1.96=2.24

Sqrt of 2.24 is 1.496 or 1.5
Now multiply this by 2 to get the length of x

If the smallest angle of a triangle is 20° and it is included between sides of 4 and 7, then (to the nearest tenth) the smallest

Answer:

$3.5$

Step-by-step explanation:

The smallest side of a triangle is formed by the smallest angle in the triangle.

To find the side opposite (formed by) the 20 degree angle, we can use the Law of Cosines. The Law of Cosines states that for any triangle, $c^2=a^2+b^2-ab\cos \gamma$ , where $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ are the three sides of the triangle and $\gamma$ is the angle opposite to $c$ .
