Question

What is the degree of the polynomial below? 4x^3+3x^2+6x+5 A. 0 B. 3 C. 1 D. 2

Answer 1

Answer: Option B.

Step-by-step explanation:

The polynomials con be classified according to the numbers of terms they have and according to the highest exponent.

The degree of a polynomial can be determined by the exponents of the variable. The highest exponent will be the degree of the polynomial.

Then, for the given polynomial ( $4x^3+3x^2+6x+5$), you can note that the highest exponent of the variable x is: 3.

Therefore, the degree of the polynomial $4x^3+3x^2+6x+5$ is:

3 (This is the option B).

Answer 2

Answer:

B. 3

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of this polynomial is based on the highest power on the exponents (if there is more than one variable, it is based on the sum)

The highest power is 3, so the degree is 3
