Hello so I'm just wondering comparing the variable x and the number 9, do they have different degres? I know that x has a degree of 1 but for 3 i'm not sure...please help
Sure, I can help you with that. In mathematics, the degree of a term or a variable refers to the highest power to which it is raised.
First, let's consider the variable "x". When we talk about the degree of "x", we are referring to the highest power to which "x" is raised in an equation or expression. For example, if we have an equation like 3x^2 - 2x + 1, the degree of "x" is 2 because "x" is raised to the power of 2 (x^2).
Now, let's talk about the number 9. In this case, since 9 is just a constant without any variable, we can say that its degree is 0. This is because any number raised to the power of 0 is equal to 1, and since 9 raised to the power of 0 is 1, we consider its degree to be 0.
Therefore, the degree of the variable "x" is 1, while the degree of the number 9 is 0. They have different degrees.
