Question

Classify the following expression by degree and term: x2y − 7xy + xyz + x

Answer 1

3rd degree polynomial with 4 terms

Answer 2

3rd degree of polynomial with 4 terms.

Explanation:

The given expression is
`x^2 y - 7xy + xyz + x`

The given expression is a polynomial.

Let's find the degree of the polynomial.

The degree of the polynomial is highest degrees of the expression.

To find the degree of expression, we need to find highest degrees.

x^2 y = 2 + 1 = 3 (Add the power of the variables)

xyz = 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 (Added the power of the variables)

Therefore, the highest degree of the polynomial is 3.

There are 4 terms.

So, it is 3rd degree of polynomial with 4 terms.
