What is the degree and classification or the following 8x^2y + 5xy

2 answers:

5 0

I believe the degree of this is 3, assuming that y isn't part of the exponent, and this is a binomial because it has 2 terms.

You need to look at each term and find the degree by adding the exponents of each variable in it. The largest degree is the degree of the polynomial.

8x²y has a degree of 3 (x has an exponent of 2, y has 1, and 2+1=3)
5xy has a degree of 2 (x has an exponent of 1, y has 1, and 1 + 1 = 2)
So, degree = 3

The polynomial has 2 terms, so it's binomial ← classification

Rewrite the rational exponent as a radical by extending the properties of integer exponents.

$\bf ~~~~~~~~~~~~\textit{negative exponents} \\\\ a^{-n} \implies \cfrac{1}{a^n} \qquad \qquad \cfrac{1}{a^n}\implies a^{-n} \qquad \qquad a^n\implies \cfrac{1}{a^{-n}} \\\\\\ \textit{also recall that }a^{\frac{ n}{ m}} \implies \sqrt[ m]{a^ n} \qquad \qquad \sqrt[ m]{a^ n}\implies a^{\frac{ n}{ m}} \\\\ -------------------------------$

$\bf \cfrac{11^{\frac{2}{5}}}{11^{\frac{1}{4}}}\implies 11^{\frac{2}{5}}\cdot 11^{-\frac{1}{4}}\implies 11^{\frac{2}{5}-\frac{1}{4}}\implies 11^{\frac{8-5}{20}}\implies 11^{\frac{3}{20}} \\\\\\ \sqrt[20]{11^3}\implies \sqrt[20]{1331}$
