find the degree of -5w^3-4w^2+7w+16
ANSWERS:
B. –3g + 10k
D. 6x^2 + x
B. 5a – 2a^2
A. 3x^2 + 15x
D. 3
so would it be 3?
correct
the degree is just the highest power of the variable.
that is correct
TY
thanks
:)
still correct
To find the degree of a polynomial, we look at the highest power of the variable. In this case, the highest power of "w" is 3 in the term "-5w^3". Therefore, the degree of the polynomial is 3.
Explanation:
1. Identify the highest power of the variable in the polynomial.
In the given polynomial, the highest power of "w" is 3, which is in the term "-5w^3". The exponent on the variable determines the power.
2. Determine the degree.
Since the highest power of "w" is 3, the degree of the polynomial is 3.
