What degree does x³ - x²y² - 8y²+ 2 have?
Answer: C
The degree of a polynomial is the highest total degree among its terms.
- \( x^{3} \) → degree 3
- \( -x^{2}y^{2} \) → degree \( 2 + 2 = 4 \)
- \( -8y^{2} \) → degree 2
- \( 2 \) → degree 0
The largest is 4. In a term with several variables the exponents are added, which is what puts \( x^{2}y^{2} \) above \( x^{3} \).
