Question

Find the degree of the monomial $s^{8}t$

Answer 1

Solving for degree of the monomial $s^{8}t$:

The degree for the monomial:

The degree of a monomial is defined as the sum of the exponents of the variables used in the monomial.

The degree of the nonzero constant is always $0$.

Monomial:

An expression with a single term is called monomial,

The given expression is $s^{8}t$

• The degree of $s^8$ is $8$
• The degree of $t$ is $1$

the sum of the exponents of the variables used in the monomial is,

$8+1=9$

Hence, the degree of the monomial $s^{8}t$ is $9$.
