Find the degree of the polynomial: a^3+3a^2−5a

The degree of the polynomial is 3

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

To Find:

The degree of the polynomial= ?

Solution:

The degree of the polynomial   is the value of the greatest exponent of any expression (except the constant ) in the polynomial. To find the degree all that you have to do is find the largest exponent in the polynomial

Here in the given polynomial

The terms are

The term   has  the largest exponent of  3

Note:  The degree of the polynomial does not depend  on coefficients of the terms

b. y = 4x - 2

step-by-step explanation:

to find a parallel equation to an equation, make sure both equations have the same slope but different y-intercepts.

y = 4x + 1

4 = slope

1 = y-intercept

y = 4x - 2

4 = slope

-2 = y-intercept

they both have the same slope but different y-intercepts, so, b. is the correct answer.

and to check your work, you can graph both equations. : )
