Question

What is the degree of this polynomial: 3x2 - 2y4 + 3xy2 Group of answer choices 1

2

4

Answer 1

The given polynomial has degree to be 4.

Explanation:

In a polynomial, the highest power of the variable in each term in it will be considered as the degree of that polynomial.

Here, the polynomial is
`3x^(2) - 2y^(4) + 3xy^(2)`

Here, both x and y are variables.

Hence, the maximum power of the term 3x² is 2.

And, the maximum power of the term
`2y^(4)` is 4.

And the maximum power of the term 3xy² is 3.

Therefore, the given polynomial has the degree to be 4. (Answer)
