Open in App

Solution

Finding the degree of polynomial x .
The highest power of the variable in a polynomial of one variable is called the degree of the polynomial
Here, the polynomial $3 + 2 x$ having two term .
The first term is constant polynomial so the degree of the constant polynomial is 0. it can be written as $3 x^{0}$ .
So the exponent of the first term $3 = 3 x^{0} = 0$
The exponent of the second term $2 x = 2 x^{1} = 1$
Since , the greatest exponent is 1.
Hence, the degree of the polynomial is $1$ .
