Question

What is the degree of the following polynomial?

3.0 + 9x^2 - 10

A) 0
B) 2
C) 4
D) 5

Answer 1

B

Step-by-step explanation:

the degree of a polynomial is represented by the value of the largest exponent of the variable in the polynomial.

given

3 + 9x² - 10

= 9x² - 7 ← in standard form

the exponent of the variable x is 2

then the degree of the polynomial is 2

Answer 2

B) 2. The degree of the given polynomial is 2.

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree of a polynomial is determined by the highest power of the variable in the polynomial. In this case, the highest power of the variable 'x' is 2, so the degree of the polynomial is 2. Therefore, the correct answer is B) 2.
