Question

Write the degree of the polynomial $8x^2+5x+\sqrt{11}$.

Answer 1

Finding degree of polynomial:

A polynomial's degree is the highest or the greatest power of a variable in a polynomial equation.

The given polynomial is $8x^2+5x+\sqrt{11}$.

Here the powers of $x$are $1\&2$ out of which $2$ is greater hence the degree of polynomial is $2$.

Therefore, the degree of polynomial $8x^2+5x+\sqrt{11}$ is $2$.
