Exponents and Polynomials

The Degree of If is a whole number, the degree of is The degree of a nonzero constant term is 0.The constant 0 has no defined degree. Here is an example of a polynomial and the degree of each of its four terms: Notice that the exponent on for the term meaning is understood to be 1. For this reason, the degree of is 1.-2x x -2x, -2x1, degree 4 ... ................
