Question

What is the degree of the following polynomial?

4y3 + 3y2 - y5
2
3
4
5

Answer 1

Answer:

5

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of a polynomial simply means what the highest power of an variable is. In this case we see that y⁵ < y³ < y², so 5 would be our highest exponent and answer.

Answer 2

Answer:

$\boxed{ \bold{ \huge{ \boxed{ \sf{5}}}}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

In the polynomial with one variable , highest power ( exponent ) is the degree of the polynomial.

In polynomial $\sf{4 {y}^{3} + 3 {y}^{2} - {y}^{5} }$

The power of 4y in the first term = 3

The power of 3y in the second term = 2

The power of y in the third term = 5

Since, the highest power is 5 , the degree of the polynomial is 5 .
