Option B: The value of x is -16
Explanation:
Given that the equation
We need to determine the value of x.
Let us substitute f(x) = 0, then we have,
Now, we shall determine the value of x.
The term can be written as
Hence, we have,
Also, the term can be written as
Thus, we have,
Applying the exponent rule, , we have,
If then
Simplifying, we get,
Therefore, the value of x is -16
Hence, Option B is the correct answer.
Answer:
What is the degree of polynomial?
The degree of a polynomial is the highest of the degrees of the polynomial's monomials with non-zero coefficients.
Example:
4x The Degree is 1 (a variable without an
exponent actually has an exponent of 1)
More Examples:
4x^ − x + 3 The Degree is 3 (largest exponent of x)
x^2 + 2x^5 − x The Degree is 5 (largest exponent of x)
z^2 − z + 3 The Degree is 2 (largest exponent of z)
A constant polynomials (P(x) = c) has no variables. Since there is no exponent to a variable, therefore the degree is 0.
3 is a polynomial of degree 0.
