Question

Define degree of a polynomial with its types

Answer 1

Degree of a polynomial:

The highest or greatest degree of a variable in a polynomial is called the degree of a polynomial.

Examples of the degree of a polynomial:

$2x^2+2x-364=0$, here the degree is $2$

$11x^7+2\times 3-34x-86=0$, here the degree is $7$.

The polynomial with different degrees are assigned different names.

For example:

The degree $0$ is called constant polynomial
The degree $1$ is called linear polynomial
The degree $2$ is called quadratic polynomial
The degree $3$ is called cubic polynomial
The degree $4$ is called quadratic polynomials.

Hence, these are the types of degrees of polynomial.
