Question

Degree of polynomial 5 is _______.

• A. 1
• B. 2
• C. 0
• D. Not defined

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

0

The degree of the polynomial is the highest or the greatest degree of a variable in the polynomial. It indicates the highest exponential power in the polynomial (ignoring the coefficients).

Since, the given polynomial $5$ can be rewritten as $5x^0$ that is $5=5x^0$, where $x$ is the variable.

Therefore, the exponential power of the term $x$ is $0$

Hence, the degree of the polynomial $5$ is $0$.
