(i) 5x3+4x2+7x
Greatest exponent for variable x is 3. Therefore, 3 is the degree of this polynomial.
(ii)3
3 can also be written as 3x0. It means that greatest exponent for variable would be 0. Therefore, 0 is the degree of this polynomial.
Write each of the polynomial listed below as a product of two first degree polynomials:
(i) 2x2 + 5x + 3
(ii) x2 + 2x − 1
(iii) x2 + 3x + 2
(iv) x2 − 2
(v) 4x2 + 20x + 25
(vi) x2 − x − 1
