Question

Find the degree of following polynomial

$4x-\sqrt{5}$

• A. $\frac{1}{2}$
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. 0

Answer 1

The correct option is B 1

The degree is the value of the greatest exponent of any expression (except the constant) in the polynomial.
Given,
$4x-\sqrt{5}$
There are 2 terms $4p-\sqrt{5}$,so it is a binomial and the polynomial has variable $x$ as the highest degree of all the terms.
Therefore,
Degree is $1$
