What is the degree of the monomial? a. 6x2 b. −x3y3 c. 7x

a. 2

b. 6

c. 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The degree is the highest exponent on the variable in an expression

a. 2

b. 6

Both x and y have exponents of 3. To determine the degree, add the exponents together. 3+3=6

c. 1

When no exponent is present on the variable, it is always 1.

1. the degree is the highest exponentso answer is 6
2. there is no exponent in this, so the degree is 0
3. 5x^8 + 9x^8 = 14x^8
4. 5y^4 - 9y^4 = - 4y^4
5. 2x^4 + 5x - 4the degree is 4...and the number of terms is 3...so basically, it is a 4th degree trinomial

Answers :
1. C ) 6
2. C ) 0
3. D ) 14 x^8
4. C ) - 4 y^4
5.  B ) 2 x^4 + 5 x - 4 ; fourth degree
