Question

Determine the degree of each term, the degree of the expression, and the type of polynomial (linear, quadratic, cubic, etc)

Answer 1

we have the expression

`-4x^3+6x^2-9x+8`

step 1

Degree of each term

-4x^3 --------> degree 3

6x^2 ------> degree 2

-9x -----> degree 1

8 -----> is a constant (degree 0)

step 2

the degree of the expression is degree 3

step 3

type of polynomial

is a cubic polynomial
