Question

Which is true about the degree of the sum and difference of the polynomials 3x5y – 2x3y4 – 7xy3 and –8x5y 2x3y4 xy3?.

Answer 1

The degree of the sum and difference of the polynomials are 6 and 7 respectively.

given polynomials are:

$3x^5-2x^3y^4-7xy^3$

$-8x^5y+2x^3y^4+xy^3$

the sum of polynomials = $-5x^5y-6xy^3$

the difference of polynomials = $11x^5y-4x^3y^4-8xy^3$

what is the degree of a polynomial?

A polynomial's degree is the highest or the greatest power of a variable in a polynomial equation.

degree of sum = monomial with highest power = 5+1=6

degree of difference = monomial with highest power = 3+4 = 7

therefore, the degree of the sum and difference of the polynomials are 6 and 7 respectively.
