Question

Write the degree of the following polynomial:

3y³ − x²y² + 4x

Answer 1

Given: 3y³ − x²y² + 4x

3y³ → Only variable: y³ → Exponent = 3

Degree = 3

– x²y² → Only variable: x² and y² → Exponent = 2 + 2

Degree = 4

4x → Only variable: x → Exponent = 1

Degree = 1

∴ The highest degree among them is: 4

∴ The degree of 3y³ – x²y² + 4x is 4 as x².
