Question

Find the degree of the following polynomial

$3y+4y^2$

• A. y
• B. 0
• C. 1
• D. 2

Answer 1

The correct option is D 2

We know that, the degree is the value of the greatest exponent of any expression (except the constant) in the polynomial.
Given polynomial is $3y+4y^2$
It is a polynomial in $y$ having highest exponent value as $2$.

Hence, the degree of the given polynomial is $2$.
