The main formula for a polynomial ax^my^n+...
the degree is the sum of the highest degree of the polynomial, it is m+n
<span>the degree of x^3y^2+7x^2y^5-3xy^8 is 9, because </span><span>3xy^8 is the term where we can find a highest value of power (8)
so the degree is degree of x, it is 1 + degree of y (it is 8)
</span>
Hmm, it looks like it could be commutative property of multiplication.
The order of the expression is different.
4(2+3)=
4(5)=20
(2+3)4=
(5)4= 20
-2 pennies, 4 nickels, 4 dimes
-2 pennies, 4 nickels, 3 dimes
-2 pennies, 4 nickels, 2 dimes
And so on. Do you kind of get the idea?
The mean for this problem is 45... hope this helps!
