Keywords:
Polynomial, classify, degree, greatest exponent
For this case we have the following polynomial:
, we must classify the polynomial according to its degree. For this, we must bear in mind, that by definition, a polynomial is of the form:
![P (x) = ax ^ n + bx ^ {n-1} + ... + cx ^ 3 + dx ^ 2 + ex + f](/tpl/images/0255/8827/1c697.png)
Where:
a, b, c, d, e, f: They are the coefficients of the polynomial
n, n-1,3,2,1,0: They are the exponents. This polynomial is of degree "n", because "n" is the largest exponent.
x: It is the variable
Thus,
is of degree "2" because "2" is the largest exponent.
Â
It is a quadratic polynomial
