Question

What is the degree of polynomial 3x⁴-4x³y+6x²y²-8x²y³-7y⁴+2

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the degree of each monomial term of the polynomial. The highest degree is the answer.

deg(3x^4)=4

deg(-4x^3y)=3+1=4

deg(6x^2y^2)=2+2=4

deg(-8x^2y^3)=2+3=5

deg(-7y^4)=4

deg(2)=0

The highest degree there is 5 so that is the degree of the polynomial.
