Question

Find the degree of the polynomial: a^3+3a^2−5a

Answer 1

Answer:

The degree of the polynomial is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

$a^3+3a^2-5a$

To Find:

The degree of the polynomial= ?

Solution:

The degree of the polynomial   is the value of the greatest exponent of any expression (except the constant ) in the polynomial. To find the degree all that you have to do is find the largest exponent in the polynomial

Here in the given polynomial

$a^3+3a^2- 5a$

The terms are

$a^3$

$3a^2$

$5a$

The term  $a^3$ has  the largest exponent of  3

Note:  The degree of the polynomial does not depend  on coefficients of the terms
