Question

Identify the degree of the polynomial 4xy-11y-3

Answer 1

the degree of the polynomial is 2.

Answer 2

degree of the polynomial is 2.

Explanation:

The given polynomial is
`4xy-11y-3`

To find the degree of this polynomial, we find the sum of exponents on each variable of each term. The largest value is the degree of this polynomial.

Now, let us find the sum of exponents of each term.

Term 4xy, sum of exponent = 1+1 =2

term 11y ,sum of exponent1

term -3, sum of exponent= 0

The largest sum is 2.

Hence, degree of the polynomial is 2.
