Find the degree of this polynomial? 13-4ab+5a^3b

1 answer:

7 0

Let's take a peek of each term, to be specific, the exponent of the variables only, to see what degree each term is

$\bf 13-4ab+5a^3b\quad 
\begin{cases}
13\impliedby \textit{no variable, degree is 0}\\
4ab\to 4a^1b^1\impliedby \textit{1+1, degree is 2}\\
5a^3b\to 5a^3b^1\impliedby\textit{3+1, degree is 4}
\end{cases}$

so...which term has the highest degree? well, that one, is the degree of the polynomial

This function starts at $(0,3)$ , so we have $f(0)=3$ .

Then, every time $x$ increments by 1, $y$ doubles. This is typical of exponential functions. In linear functions, every time $x$ increments by 1, $y$ increments by a fixed amount (the slope of the function).

So, this is an exponential function, and the equation is

$f(x)=3\cdot 2^x$

Is the graphed function linear?

Anna11 [10]

Yes, because each input value corresponds to exactly one output value.Yes, because the outputs increase as the inputs increase.No, because the graph is not continuous.No, because the curve indicates that the rate of change is not constant.
