Question

Write the degree of the following expressions:

$-x^4{y}^0$

Answer 1

Finding the degree of the algebraic expression

We know that

The highest sum of the exponents of the variables in different terms represents the degree of the algebraic expression

In$-x^4{y}^0$,

$$\begin{gathered} \text{Degree of terms} \\ -x^4{y}^0=4+0=4 \end{gathered}$$

the greatest exponent of the term $-x^4{y}^0$ is $4$.

So, the degree of the polynomial is $4$.
