Degrees and Terms

Degree of a term: Is the sum of it's exponents.
Examples:


Degree of a polynomial: Is the greatest degree of any of the terms in a polynomial
Examples:




Like terms will have the same variables and the same degree of variable or be constant
Example: 6x^2 - 3x^2y

Unlike terms do not share a common variable or degree of variable
Example: 6xy^2 - 3x^2y

  2. Great post Allison. Your post was very detailed based on information and important parts. Next time maybe instead of putting ^ before an exponent maybe decreasing the size would be beter.
