Question

Arrange the polynomials in the increasing order of their degree (bottom to top).

• A. $2x-1$
• B. $-10$
• C. $x^3-9x+3x^5$
• D. $y^3(1-y^4)$

Answer 1

The degree of the polynomial $2x–1$ is one because the highest exponent of x is one.
The degree of the polynomial $-10or-10x^0$ is zero because the exponent of x is zero.
The degree of the polynomial $x^3-9x+3x^5$ is five because the highest exponent of x is five.
Degree of polynomial $y^3(1-y^4)$ or $y^3–y^7$ is seven because the highest exponent of y is 7.
