No. A polynomial can have as many degrees as you like.

What kind of polynomial is 3x2y3?

If you mean: 3x+2y = 3 then it is a straight line equation


What is the difference between a polynomial and an equation?

Equations will have an equals sign. Such as: x + 3 = 2 Polynomials will not. Such as: 2x + 3


What are the solutions of the equation x3 plus 3x2-x-3 equals 0?

the solutions to this equation are -1,+1 and -3. you can solve this equation by using the polynomial long division method. we basically want to factorize this and polynomial and equate its factors to zero and obtain the roots of the equation. By hit and trial , it clear that x=1 i.e is a root of this equation. So (x-1) should be a factor of the given polynomial (LHS). Divide the polynomial by x-1 using long division method and you will get the quotient as x2+4x+3 and remainder would be 0 ( it should be 0 as we are dividing the polynomial with its factor. Eg when 8 is divided by any of its factor like 4,2 .. remainder is always zero ) Now, we can write the given polynomial as product of its factors as x3+3x2-x-3 = (x-1)(x2+4x+3) =(x-1)(x+1)(x+3) [by splitting middle term method] so the solutions for the given polynomial are obtained when RHS = 0, Hence x=-1 , X = +1, x=-3 are the solutions for this equation.


How do you determine the degrees of a given polynomial?

The degree of a polynomial is the highest power that appears in the polynomial. For more than one variable, you must add the powers for each variable, for example, a3b2 is of degree 3 + 2 = 5.


What is 5x cube -45x?

y = 5x^3 - 45x is a polynomial equation that crosses the y axis at x=3.
