Question

Consider the following polynomial.

Answer 1

Answers:
1) 6
2) 5
3) 8
4)5ab^5

Answer 2

$-2ab^3b^2+5ab^5+7b^4+8$

As we can see that the exponents over the variables of first term are 1 , 3 and 2 , so total becomes 1+3+2 = 6 ,

Exponents over variables of second term are 5

Exponent over variables of third term is 4 and

Exponent over the variables of last term is 0 .

It means they are already arranged in the proper form of a polynomial.

$-2ab^3b^2+5ab^5+7b^4+8$

Hence

a) Degree = 1+3+2 = 6

b) Leading coefficient = -2

c) Constant term = 8

d) leading term = $-2ab^3b^2$
