Question

Based on its degree, what kind of polynomial is this h(x)= -6x^3+2x-5

Answer 1

Answer:

cubic polynomial

Step-by-step explanation:

Given polynomial is $\[h(x)=-6x^{3}+2x-5\]$

A polynomial of degree 1 is a linear polynomial.

A polynomial of degree 2 is a quadratic polynomial.

A polynomial of degree 3 is a cubic polynomial.

In this case the exponent with the maximum value in the polynomial is 3.

Hence the degree of the polynomial h(x) is 3.

Hence the given polynomial is a cubic polynomial.
