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.
