The degree of a polynomial is a very straightforward concept that is really not hard to understand. Definition: The degree is the term with the greatest exponent. Recall that for y 2, y is the base and 2 is the exponent. Example #1 : 4x 2 + 6x + 5. This polynomial has three terms.
To determine the degree of a polynomial that is not in standard form (for example ( x + 1 ) 2 â ( x â 1 ) 2 {\displaystyle (x+1)^{2}-(x-1)^{2}} ), one has to put it first in standard form by expanding the products (by distributivity) and combining the like terms; for example ( x + 1 ) 2 â ( x â 1 ) 2 = 4 x {\displaystyle (x+1)^{2}-(x-1)^{2}=4x} is ...
