Question

The degree of the polynomial $2-y^2-y^3+2y^7$ is :

• A. 2
• B. 7
• C. 0
• D. 3

Answer 1

The correct option is B 7

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its monomials (individual terms) with non-zero coefficients. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it, and thus is a non-negative integer.

Hence, for $2-y^2-y^3+2y^7$, the degree$=7$

So, answer is $B$.
