Answer:
_____________________________
       The problem is that the "volume" of cube is equal to the length of one of its sides, "cubed" ;  that is,  "V = s³ " .    

A cube with with sides that measure 5 cm has the following volume:
_____________________________________________________
         " V  =  (5 cm)³  =  5 * 5 * 5 * cm³  =  125 cm³ " ;
 _____________________________________________________
The volume of cube with sides that measure "10 cm" 
      (which is, in fact, has "side lengths that are TWICE the value of  "5 cm" ; gets "cubed" — as opposed to getting multiplied by "2"). 
_____________________________________________________
    So, V = (10 cm)³ = 10 * 10 * 10 * cm³ = 1000 cm³ .
______________________________________________________
When we deal with "volume increases";  we are dealing with "three-dimensional objects",  with values of "cubic units" .  And in a cube, with all side lengths being equal, an increase in side length will result in an "exponential" increase in volume.
________________________________________________
So;  (10 cm)³   ≠  2* (5 cm)³.

anygoal [31]

Answer: For example, the polynomial which can also be expressed as has three terms. The first term has a degree of 5 (the sum of the powers 2 and 3), the second term has a degree of 1, and the last term has a degree of 0. Therefore, the polynomial has a degree of 5, which is the highest degree of any term.
