The greatest.
Oh, dude, it's like super simple. So, basically, you classify polynomials based on their degree, which is the highest power of the variable in the polynomial. If the highest power is 1, it's a linear polynomial; if it's 2, it's quadratic; and if it's 3, it's cubic. Anything beyond that, like a fourth-degree polynomial or higher, we just call them "higher-degree polynomials." Easy peasy, lemon squeezy!
The polynomial 7x3 + 6x2 - 2 has a degree of 3, making it cubic.
Factors
Yes, f(x) = 2 is a polynomial of degree 0 (because there are no x terms).
A binomial.
The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent in the polynomial.
The degree of a polynomial is the highest exponent on any independent variable in the polynomial.
That varies from polynomial to polynomial. Whatever the highest exponent is is called the "degree", so a quadratic like x2 + 2x + 8 has degree 2.
The Degree (for a polynomial with one variable) is the largest exponent of that variable.
A polynomial of degree 0 is a polynomial without any variables, such as 9.
The degree of a polynomial refers to the largest exponent in the function for that polynomial. A degree 3 polynomial will have 3 as the largest exponent, but may also have smaller exponents. Both x^3 and x^3-x²+x-1 are degree three polynomials since the largest exponent is 4. The polynomial x^4+x^3 would not be degree three however because even though there is an exponent of 3, there is a higher exponent also present (in this case, 4).
highest total of the exponents
The Degree (for a polynomial with one variable, like x) is the largest exponent of that variable.
The degree of a polynomial is equal to the highest degree of its terms. In the case that there is no exponent, the degree is 1. If there is no variable, the degree is 0.
Those words refer to the degree, or highest exponent that modifies a variable, or the polynomial.Constant=No variables in the polynomialLinear=Variable raised to the first powerQuadratic=Variable raised to the second power (or "squared")Cubic=Variable raised to the third power (or "cubed")Quartic=Variable raised to the fourth powerQuintic=Variable raised to the fifth powerAnything higher than that is known as a "6th-degree" polynomial, or "21st-degree" polynomial. It all depends on the highest exponent in the polynomial. Remember, exponents modifying a constant (normal number) do not count.
That means that the monomial of the highest degree has a degree higher than 1. For example: x + 5 3x - 7 -27x + 8
