Describe how to find the degree of a term.

Choose the correct answer below.

A. Find the largest exponent of any variable in the term.

B. Add the exponents of all variables in the term.

C. Multiply the exponents of all variables in the term.

D. Find the smallest exponent of any variable in the term.

Respuesta :

Answer:

Option B -Add the exponents of all variables in the term.

Step-by-step explanation:

To describe : How to find the degree of a term.

Degree of a Term is defined as the degree of variable's exponent of  one variable or the sum of exponent of a two or more variable term.

From the given statements Option B is correct

Because, the question is all about the variables in the term not a polynomial.

So, for a term with one variable, the degree is the variable's exponent.

Example → [tex]6x^8[/tex] Degree of the term is 8.

Now, with more than one variable, the degree is the sum of the exponents of the variables.

Example → [tex]-2x^6y^3z[/tex] Degree of the term is 6+3+1=10.
