Question

What is the degree of the given trinomial?
$p^3-3p^2+3$

• A. 0.0
• B. 1
• C. 2
• D. 3

Answer 1

The correct option is D 3

The highest of the degrees of all the terms of an expression is called the degree of the expression.
$p^3-3p^2+3$
The degree of the term $p^3$ is 3.
The degree of the term $-3p^2$ is 2.
The degree of the term $3=3p^0$ is 0.
Hence, the highest degree of the expression $(p^3-3p^2+3)$ is 3.
