Question 504642: Short Answer. State the degree of the given polynomial:
X^3 – 8x^2 + 9x – 2
is it 5??
Answer by richard1234(7193)   (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The degree is the highest exponent (exponent here is defined as the raised power) you see in the polynomial. Here, x^3 has the highest exponent, so the degree would be 3.
For multi-variable polynomials, the degree is defined by finding the term in which the sum of the exponents of the variables is highest.
