Degrees of a Monomial
Degree of a monomial: Degree is the exponent that corresponds to the variable. Examples: 32d -2x4 16x3y2 4a4b2c 44 has a degree of 1 has a degree of 4 has a degree of 5 (add the exponents 3 + 2) has a degree of 7 (add 4 + 2 + 1) Has a degree of 0 (constants do NOT have a degree
Degree of a Polynomial The degree of a polynomial is equal to the highest degree of one of its monomials. Example 3d4f2 + 9e2h8 – 13h7j9 degree = 16 find degree of each term (4+2=6) (2+8=10) (7+9=16)
