Answer:
Here the degree of the polynomial is 11.
Step-by-step explanation:
To find the degree of the multivariate polynomials, we need to add up the powers of all the variables. So the total degree is given by the sum of all the powers of the highest powers terms.
Now in the given polynomial
the term with the highest total powers is and thus the total power is 6+5=11.
And hence the degree of this polynomial is 11.
The question says that the end of the cave is 380 meters below.
Lets say the sea level or the surface is at 0 meters or we can say that it is the reference level for us.
Now if we go up the height will be measured with positive integer but if we go down the depth will be represented by a negative integer.
Negative integer also represents the depth or the distance below the surface level.
Here we need to generate an integer that can represent the depth of 380 meters.
So if we are going down we will use negative integer to represent.
Therefore, the integer to represent the depth is meters.
