Question

Determine the degree of each of the following polynomials:
$-10$

Answer 1

Step- 1 : Finding the degree of the polynomial
The highest or greatest degree of a variable in a polynomial is called the degree of a polynomial. A polynomial’s degree is the highest or the greatest power of a variable in a polynomial equation. The degree indicates the highest exponential power in the polynomial (ignoring the coefficients).

There is no variable in the given term so we can assume the variable as $x^0$

Therefore $-10$ can be written as $-10x^0$

The highest power of the variable $x$ in $-10x^0$$=0$

Hence, the degree of the polynomial $-10$ is $0$
