Prompt: In unit 5 we have been talking about polynomials and their degree. Mr. McGill thinks the degree of this polynomial is 2 because it is the exponent in front. What mistake did Mr. McGill make and what should the correct answer be?

x2−6x12−4x+8

degree of the polynomial should be 12

Step-by-step explanation:

The mistake he did was that he was supposed to consider the highest power

The power of the term in front should

not be used if the term does not have the highest power

As we can see. the term with the highest power is 12

So we can say that the degree is 12 and not 2

from the figure we get,

the x axis shows   the months and,

the y-axis shows the number of satisfied customer.

each line or each cell in upward direction (y-axis) shows 500.

the appropriate scale for the y - axis is: -

a = 2000 customers

b = 4000 customers

c = 6000 customers

d = 8000 customers

e = 10000 customers

f = 12000 customers

g = 14000 customers
