Please I do not know how to figure this out:
Identify the degree of each term of the polynormial and the degree of the polynormial of -4x^3 + 2x^2 + 7x + 1
degree of the first term, second, third, fourth terms and the polynomial
See your 11-12-11,11:26am post for solution.
To identify the degree of each term of the polynomial -4x^3 + 2x^2 + 7x + 1, we need to look at the exponent of the variable x in each term.
The degree of a term is determined by the highest power of the variable in that term. So let's go through each term one by one.
First term: -4x^3
The degree of the first term is 3, because the highest power of x in this term is 3.
Second term: 2x^2
The degree of the second term is 2, because the highest power of x in this term is 2.
Third term: 7x
The degree of the third term is 1, because the highest power of x in this term is 1.
Fourth term: 1
The degree of the fourth term is 0, because it has no x variable or any other variable. In this case, any constant term (a number without any variable) has a degree of 0.
To find the degree of the polynomial, you need to identify the term with the highest degree. In this case, the highest degree is 3 (from the first term -4x^3).
Therefore, the degree of the polynomial -4x^3 + 2x^2 + 7x + 1 is 3.
