You can put this solution on YOUR website!
I can't tell what you meant to be exponents. Next time x to the 3 power is x^3 ok? I'm going to fix these to be what I think you meant. If that's not how you meant them, let me know.
:
If a polynomial has a degree of one the highest power the variable is raised to is 1. We don't usually write the exponent if it's 1.
these given polynomials, identify the polynomials of degree one.
:
If any variable is raise to a negative exponent or a fraction it is not a polynomial.
a. (3rd degree, not first.)
b. 76 + 5x (first degree)
c. (not a polynomial, because x is raised to the 1/2 power.)
d. (first degree, 45^(1/2) is allowed.)
e 289y + 6 -76y (first degree)
f.(37)1x1 (first degree)
g. (first degree because 2(1/2)=1)
h. (4th degree, not first)
Happy Calculating!!!
