What is the degree of the polynomial a4 + b3 - 2ab + c?
Accepted Solution
A:
For this case we have a polynomial of two variables. The variables of the polynomial are: variable 1: a variable 2: b The degree of the polynomial, in this case, is given by the term of the polynomial that has the highest exponent. We then have the following polynomial: [tex]a ^ 4 + b ^ 3 - 2ab + c
[/tex] The term with the greatest exponent is: [tex]a ^ 4
[/tex] Therefore, the polynomial is of degree 4. Answer: The polynomial is of degree 4.
