Find the degree of-5w^3-4w^2+7w+16
A.-5
B.16
C.14
D.3
I don't know how to do this you please help me? Thank you
The degree is the largest exponent(3).
To find the degree of a polynomial, you need to determine the highest power of the variable.
In the given polynomial -5w^3-4w^2+7w+16, the highest power of the variable 'w' is 3 (from the term -5w^3).
Therefore, the degree of the polynomial is 3.
So, the correct answer is D. 3.
To find the degree of a polynomial, you need to determine the highest power of the variable in the expression.
In this case, we have the polynomial -5w^3 - 4w^2 + 7w + 16. The highest power of the variable "w" is 3, which means the degree of the polynomial is 3.
Therefore, the correct answer is (D) 3.
