To determine the degree of a polynomial, you look at every term:
- if the term involves only one variable, the degree of that term is the exponent of the variable
- if the term involves more than one variable, the degree of that term is the sum of the exponents of the variables.
So, for example, the degree of is 55, while the degree of
is
Finally, the term of the degree of the polynomial is the highest degree among its terms.
So, is a degree 2 polynomial (although it only has one term)
similarly, is a degree 3 polynomial: the first two terms have degree 3, because they have exponents 2 and 1.
The terms of an arithmetic progression, can form consecutive terms of a geometric progression.
- The common ratio is:
- The general term of the GP is:
The nth term of an AP is:
So, the <em>2nd, 6th and 8th terms </em>of the AP are:
The <em>first, second and third terms </em>of the GP would be:
The common ratio (r) is calculated as:
This gives
The nth term of a GP is calculated using:
So, we have:
