  1. degree of a polynomial

    The degree of a polynomial is the highest power of the variable in that polynomial. It represents the highest exponent used in the polynomial. For example, in the polynomial 2x^3 + 4x^2 + x + 1, the degree is 3. The degree determines the most number of solutions a polynomial equation can have or the most number of times the graph of the function can cross the x-axis.

  1. Degree of a polynomial

    The degree of a polynomial is the highest degree of its terms, when the polynomial is expressed in canonical form. The degree of a term is the sum of the exponents of the variables that appear in it. The word degree is now standard, but in some older books, the word order may be used instead. For example, the polynomial 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 has a degree of 5 which is the highest degree of any term. To determine the degree of a polynomial that is not in standard form, one has to put it first in standard form by expanding the products and combining the like terms; for example, and its degree is 1, although each summand has degree 2. However, this is not needed when the polynomial is expressed as a product of polynomials in standard form, because the degree of a product is the sum of the degrees of the factors.
