Number of credits for a AA/AS Degree. The number of credits that are required to complete an associate's degree will depend upon the state mandate and your program of study. Typically, this degree requires 60 to 64 semester hours or 95 to 105 quarter hours.
Memorize this: the degree of a polynomial is the largest degree of any one term in the polynomial. While we usually write polynomials with the largest degree term first, it's a good idea to look at the degrees of all the terms, in case some impish degree sprite came along and mixed them up to make our lives miserable.
We observe that the above polynomial has four terms. Here the first term is 1, the second term is x, the third term is x2 and the fourth term is x3. Now we will determine the exponent of each term. Since, the greatest exponent is 3, the degree of 1 + x + x2 + x3 is also 3.
