Question

What is the degree of the polynomial P(x) = 11$x^6$ + $x^5$ + 3$x^4$ + $x^3$ + $x^2$ + x +1, also find the maximum number of zeroes it can have

• A. Same i.e six
• B. Different i.e. degree is 6 and the maximum number of zeroes is seven.
• C. Different i.e. degree is 6 and the maximum no of zeroes is five
• D. None of these

Answer 1

The correct option is A

Same i.e six

The degree of the polynomial is the highest power on any term in the polynomial, and the maximum number of zeroes a polynomial can have is equal to the degree of the polynomial.
