Question

Match the following monomial expressions with their corresponding degree.

• A. $3$
• B. $0$
• C. $2$
• D. $1$

Answer 1

We know that in monomial expression, the sum of the exponents on each variable is called the degree of monomial expression.

$x^2\to$ exponent on variable $x$ is 2 so, the degree of $x^2$ is 2.

$xyz\to$ the sum of exponents on variables $x,y$ & $z$ is 3, so the degree of $xyz$ is $3$.

$3x^0\to$ the exponent on variable $x$ is 0 so, the degree of $3x^0$ is $0$.

$x{y}^0\to$ the sum of the exponents on variables $x$ & $y$ is $1$, so the degree of $x{y}^0$ is $1$.
