Question

How do you find the degree for `3w - 6w^2 + 4`?

Answer 1

See below:

Explanation:

The degree of a polynomial is the sum of all of the exponents.

Recall that `3w=3w^1`, and that constants have no degree.

Adding our degrees, we get

`1+2=3`

This is a third degree polynomial.

Hope this helps!
