Question

What is the degree of this polynomial? 5/7y^3+5y^2+y+1

Answer 1

The degree of polynomial is the largest exponent in the given expression or equation.

So, therefore, the degree of the polynomial is 3. 

Answer 2

Answer:  The degree of the given polynomial is 3.

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to find the degree of the following polynomial :

$P(y)=\dfrac{5}{7}y^3+5y^2+y+1.$

We know that

The degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of its individual terms with non-zero coefficients.

In the given polynomial, the highest power of the unknown variable y is 3 in the term $\dfrac{5}{7}y^3.$

Thus, the required degree of the given polynomial is 3.
