Question

$\sqrt{2}$is a polynomial of degree

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

Answer 1

The correct option is A

$0$

Finding the degree of the polynomial:

Polynomial consists of two terms, poly means many and nominal means terms, respectively. A polynomial is defined as an expression made up of variables, constants which are combined using mathematical operations such as addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.

The degree of a polynomial within a polynomial is known as the highest degree of a monomial. Therefore, a polynomial equation that has one variable that has the largest exponent is considered a polynomial degree.

Here we have, $\sqrt{2}$

$\sqrt{2}$ can be written as

$\sqrt{2}=\sqrt{2}✕x^0$

Hence, the degree of the polynomial is zero since the highest degree of the polynomial is zero.
