Question

Degree of the algebraic expression $4x+5x+2$ is ______.

• A. 0
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. not defined

Answer 1

The correct option is B

1

The given algebraic expression is $4x+5x+2$, which is $9x+2$.
Degree of the polynomial(that contains only one variable) is the highest exponent of its various terms. The terms of the polynomial obtained are $9x$ and $2$. Here, the term $9x$ has the highest exponent for the variable $x$ and hence the degree of the given polynomial is 1.
