The wildfire burning near Fort McMurray on May 1, 2016. On May 1, 2016, a wildfire began southwest of Fort McMurray, Alberta, Canada. On May 3, it swept through the community, forcing the largest wildfire evacuation in Alberta's history.
A polynomial in. x is defined as a finite sum of terms of the form axn, where a is a real number and. the exponent nis a whole number. For each term,a is called the coefficient, and n. is called the degree of the term. For example: If a polynomial has exactly one term, it is categorized as a monomial. A two-. term polynomial is called a binomial, and a three-term polynomial is called a. trinomial. Usually the terms of a polynomial are written in descending order. according to degree. In descending order, the highest-degree term is written first.
We observe that the above polynomial has two terms. Here the first term is 7x and the second term is -4. Now we will determine the exponent of each term. (i) the exponent of the first term 7x = 1. (ii) the exponent of the second term -4 = 1. Since, the greatest exponent is 1, the degree of 7x â 4 is also 1. Therefore, the degree of the polynomial 7x â 4 = 1. 4. Find the degree of a polynomial 11x3 - 13x5 + 4x. We observe that the above polynomial has three terms. Here the first term is 11x3, the second term is - 13x5 and the third term is 4x.
