Question

Select all the expressions that could represent the volume of a box, which is a third degree polynomial in variables x and y.

Answer 1

Answer:

A and D

Step-by-step explanation:

Third degree polynomials refers to polynomials that has 3 as the greatest power of the variable.

A. 3 x y − 3 x y^2

Degree = 1 + 2 = 3

This option is correct

B 2y - xy^3 + 7

Degree = 1 + 3 = 4

This option is wrong

C. 3x^3y^2 -3x^2y + 10y^2 - 10y

Degree = 3 + 2 = 5

This option is wrong

D. 3x^2y+5xy

Degree = 2 + 1 = 3

This option is correct

E. 3y^3 + 3x^3 y^4

Degree = 3 + 4 = 7

This option is wrong
