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).

Degree of a terms of polynomial?

The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it.For example, the polynomial 8x2y3 + 5x - 10 has three terms. The first term has a degree of 5, the second term has a degree of 1, and the last term has a degree of 0. Therefore, the polynomial is degree five.

What are the kind of polynomial according to the number of degree?

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.
