Question

Write the degree of the given polynomials.

i) $\sqrt{5}$

ii) $x^{\circ }$

iii) $x^2$

Answer 1

The degree of a polynomial is defined to be the highest power of the variable involved in the equation.

i) The degree of $\sqrt{5}$ i.e. the constant term is $0$.

ii) Again the degree of $x^o$ i.e. $1$, is $0$

iii) Similarly the degree of the polynomial $x^2$ is $2$.
