Question

Write the degree of the following polynomial:
(iv) $7-3x^{2}y+y^2$

Answer 1

Step: Find the degree of given polynomial
$7-3x^{2}y+y^2$
The given polynomial consists of three monomials 7, $-3x^{2}y\text{and}{y}^2.$
Finding degree of respective monomials:
7 : Degree = 0.
$-3x^{2}y$ : Degree = 2+1=3.
$y^2$ : Degree = 2.
The highest degree among the monomials is 3.
Hence, the degree of the given polynomial is 3.
