The highest power of 'x' in the equation.
Ax^(2) + Bx + C = 0 is of degree - 2
AX^(3) + BX^(2) + Cx + D = 0 is of degree - '3'.
et seq.,
The ' A B C D ' are numeral coefficients, and do not bear on the degree of the equation.
No. A polynomial can have as many degrees as you like.
Polynomials are classified based on their degree as follows: a polynomial of degree 0 is a constant polynomial, of degree 1 is a linear polynomial, of degree 2 is a quadratic polynomial, of degree 3 is a cubic polynomial, and of degree 4 is a quartic polynomial. Higher degree polynomials continue with quintic (degree 5), sextic (degree 6), and so on. The degree indicates the highest exponent of the variable in the polynomial.
-8x2 - 2x + 8 this is a quadratic equation or a second order polynomial it is a second order polynomial because it has a term in x2 For every polynomial we name it according to the highest power term in the equation.......
The degree of the polynomial.
The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent on any independent variable in the polynomial.

quadratic
The polynomial equation is x2 - x - 1 = 0.

Because if you plot the point on a graph that the equation generates, it will produce a straight line(Linear). NB An eq'n of the form Ax^(2) + Bx + C = 0 is NOT linear, because in plotting the points on a graph it produces a curved bowl/umbrella.
A third-degree equation has, at most, three roots. A fourth-degree polynomial has, at most, four roots. APEX 2021
is -4 a polynomial? This depends on what you accept as a definition A polynomial is often defined as a set of things in order obeying certain rules. ( these things and rules can be very complicated) A polynomial EQUATION is an equation between two polynomials When using only real numbers and "regular" math rules -4 is a polymomial of degree 0 x = -4 is a polynomial equation is a polynomial of degree 1 it is the same as x +4 = 0 It can be represented by { 4, 0} Sometimes the terms are used interchangably
True Yes. Although the term 'quad' stands for four, a quadratic equation is a polynomial of second degree.
A parabola is a graph of a 2nd degree polynomial function. Two graph a parabola, you must factor the polynomial equation and solve for the roots and the vertex. If factoring doesn't work, use the quadratic equation.
