"Degree one" means that the highest exponent is one. Similarly, "degree two" means that the highest exponent is two, etc. The number of exponents is not limited - the exponents may be used for different variables, for example. The degree simply specifies the highest exponent that can be used.

Definition to exponential equations?
An exponential equation is one in which a variable occurs in the exponent.An exponential equation in which each side can be expressed interms of the same base can be solved using the property:If the bases are the same, set the exponents equal.
What is an equation of a non linear equation?
A non-linear equation is any equation which includes variables with a degree other than one. Therefore, any equation involving x2, x3, x4, .... would be non-linear. For example: y= 3x+2 is linear, because x and y are both degree 1 (no exponent) y= 2x2 is non-linear, because x is degree 2.
What is the difference between a polynomial and a quadratic equation?
Oh, dude, it's like this: all quadratic equations are polynomials, but not all polynomials are quadratic equations. A quadratic equation is a specific type of polynomial that has a degree of 2, meaning it has a highest power of x^2. So, like, all squares are rectangles, but not all rectangles are squares, you know what I mean?
How many roots can a quadratic function have?
The answer is two. Despite its name seems to suggest something to do with four, in a quadratic equation the unknown appears at most to the power of two and so is said to be of second degree. The theorem than pertains here is that the number of roots an equation has is equal to its degrees. However, some of the roots can be repeated - an nth degree equation need not have n different roots. Also the roots do not have to be real. However complex roots ( no real) come in pairs so an equation of odd degree must have at least one real root. A quadratic possibly has no real roots.
How many answers does a linear equation in one variable have?
one
